The good news is, I'm so lost I don't know where my mod buttons are.

Total free-for-all.

my teeth are sore from clenching. i only stopped by for a quick look... how you, 'residents', cope with the change, i can't fathom.

Totally lost and can't find my reppies. In better news, I received three poetry books for my birthday and went to see John Cooper Clarke for Mother's Day.

i'm starting to get used to it now.

i wish the other poets would check in, though. i'm starting to wonder if we could muster the numbers to hold our own in a streetgang-level sissy slapfight with poets from another forum.

we have to stay sharp or they will surely crush our hearts like jara's hands.

Given your weakened condition, I'm thinking about sending the Hounds over to crush your collective spirits and swallow your collective souls.

^ a realistic assessment. Poets do not waste words.

Unless they really want to.

Pfft. As if you could scare off the Hounds.

Oh, hey, look at the time. We must do this again. Some time. Later. Much later.

My bodice ripped the last time we tried that, 'member??

Strobing prose in teh shadows of visible light has stoked my inner fires for a while now, and I see no sense in tossing tears on those flames!?

I have been very busy with maleware on a couple of sites. Ran all my maleware and anti virus and could find no problems. Don't know what to make of it. Seems to be gone now anyway.

I really do like the new site. Tried to reset my avartar but could find no way to do it. Site seems so newish and freshess (oh, bad grammar).

I love the light blue, grey and white. Reminds me of the beach in early winter. Some of the beach houses are painted here with just these colors.

I'm sure everyone will be back soon. A few here a few there. That's the way it always works. And they will love the new site too.

At my advanced age I cannot cope with any change at all and have spent the last 36 hours curled up in the foetal position. But if there's a poet / poet smackdown coming I'll start doing some bench presses.

I discovered there was something called "Notification" and the number 1 beside it. There was messages for me. I had now idea they were there or what they are. It's not the inbox, it's something else. Sorry that I haven't responded to your messages, I never saw it. I don't know how to answer yet or get back to that page either.

Coop, was it something called Reputation Points? Do you see the little star under people's avatars when they post? (On the same line as the "Reply" button, to the far left.) If you click that a window opens and you can give a rep for that post and leave a short comment if you want to. There's never any obligation to respond to these either, by the way. :greenie

ETA: Here's everything you might ever want to know about Rep points: http://absolutewrite.com/forums/sho...-to-Know-About-Reputation-Comments-and-Points
