What's with members popping in now and again?

I am here (Library internet) after my chess lessons and lightning games on Saturdays and sometimes there are people in browsing the forum, and sometimes there are none. One second they are here, the next they are gone. What the?

Are the users who go in and out of the Gamebanshee "Speak Your Mind" secretly using the internet at work?

And, can anyone give a crach course on Gamebanshee abbreviations? I know that:

OMG = Oh my God
SYM = Speak your mind
CE = C Elegans

and thats about I can remember.

Can someone give a course of making a poll?

I know that you have to go into the Posting page and there is something to do with the Poll button at the bottom.

Due to my virus infesting the whole board, I just swap user names every so often.

COMM : The cool group.
SLURRS : Drunks.
Spammers : Lost Sheep.
Lurkers : Secret COMM group.
LMAOPSYAKM : Stuck key board.
LOL : Laughing Out Loud.

I believe you already asked about abbreviations here and you will find answers there, because I'm too lazy to type them all out

As for people disappearing... well, if they only have GB in one window, they might be moving between forums, or between SYM and their PM box, so they will still be on GB but won't appear on SYM. Especially if there isn't much happening on SYM, people probably go and check out the other forums.

Then there are those of us who lurk and don't appear at all...

Edit: I don't know anything about posting polls, sorry.

Polls are bad.

I've never noticed that before: Bubba Gump's Shrimp Factory. LOL
That's a good one.

Thanks Georgi , I couldn't find them before and I knew I had posted it somewhere before...

Not necessarily, if you have a good reason for posting one

I don't know why they bug people so much, they're not actually any different from any other thread... even a pointless poll is no different than a pointless thread. Still, everyone seems to hate them. But @Willa_Ly, if it's for your chewing gum thing, I'm sure nobody would have a problem with it.

Most of us aren't at work. We're simply manifestations of a virus that Weasel programmed. It uses a predetermined series of names and a list of remarks that are constantly being swapped out. I'd say it's all very clever, but then, being a virus, you wouldn't really believe me, would you?

@Weasel

Lucky must be my middle name. To think my keyboard stuck and just "happened" to type LMAOPSYAKM. High Tyrant Lucky Weasel, (It has a ring to it)

@Willa_Ly, the bad thing is, Mr. Gump doesn't pay well.

COMMpany of Magnificent Males (Think Full Monty, yup we go in different shapes, color and sizes)

COMMpletely Masterfully-crafted Misfits (Hey, Weasel's our Founding Father... what do you expect?)

@Willy: This maybe a tad too late, but welcome to SYM.

You are most welcome too to be a part of the Palanquendi

Odie, I reckon it's past midnight there at Perth... burning the Midnight Oil?

Ode to a Grasshopper · Sat May 25, 2002 10:32 am

Dirty minded people have more fun. What are you, a goody-goody paladin?

My life is just fine, thank you for asking. How's yours?

Here's your shine, I think the Anti-DF tavern has a much nicer ambience for drinky-poos though. *Hands Mah a glass of shine*

I'm a night-owl, I can't stand early morning starts but I love the night-time and sleeping in.

Maharlika · Post by **Maharlika** » Sat May 25, 2002 10:48 am

Thanks for the shine, buddy...

...*gulps the shine in one... gulp

Life is fine for me... so far... *sigh!*

Yes, I'm a GOODY(copyright-Mr.Sleep) Paladin.

As for Fas' place... I wish he has got those belly-dancers!

Be tucking up pretty soon... thanks again for the Vitamin S

...

...and say "Hi!" to Georgi for me...

Cya, boyo. Thanks for the company and watch out where you're gonna pass out!
