I saw the note where Matt said it was the funniest thing he had ever read on the site. The link did not work or some other malfunction. My attempt to read it was futile and I hate I missed it. If anyone ever gets a read please forward I'd love to read it.......................................BruceQuote:

I think I copied the exchanges, I'll see if I can find them.
Here's one, but I loved the "Are the markets still open?!" one, too.

Where is everyone?
OMG! HAS IT HAPPENED!
BSC
Yes, the rapture has taken place. It is only you left now Steve. So party on!
Steve
Hard to have a party with just me. Drinking alone just doesn't work for me.
BSC
Then run down to the local zoo and open the chimp cages.
Rumor has it that they will booze it up with just about anybody. Grin
Good evening everyone, finally made it and now I will go lurk for awhile.
Another big thank you to Alex!
I like the Jekyl & Hyde thing going on with the two forums. I'll probably end up here more often.
Brian
Hey Dystopia, glad to you here!
Jackalope, yes, very split personality!
Hi everybody!
My introductory post is already on the sister forum, so I won't repeat myself. I am very happy to be here.
Thank you, Alex, for your generosity in giving us a new "home"!
P.S. Nice avatar, BSC! Well, nice is the wrong word, but you know what I mean...
HOLY SHIT!
Steve's here! What the hell is going on?
Hello all. This is Bones from Sustainable/LATOC. Though here I'll go by the alias "Boris the Schnook".
Bones, good disguise
I have a new avatar for a new site. That is me when I was snowed in for a week in my cabin in the woods years ago.
That's why we did this Jack... I love that some people will haunt one place over the other and that they may find some gem on either site. Once we get a couple of hundred people signed up over here, neither place will get quiet much.Quote:

Hi All.
Spinski signing in, long time lurker over at the other place...
Welcome spinski, I like the avatar and sig line! Always was an Orson Scott Card fan.
Thanks ExRanger. Thought the quote summed up quite nicely where we're headed. The avatar is the nanochicken (it's a long story).Quote:

Hello to everyone...
Good morning, scurry. Welcome to doom.
Thanks Snowflower - I was rather hoping someone would make an acronym of my name.Quote:

LOL! If you want to be an ARSE, that's fine with me. :D
I'll try and explain...Quote:

We all know it's just Easter cake decorations, but somehow there's more to it than that....
Here's some pics of the birth of the nanochicken, and the subsequent interfering with said experiments. Since then they've been breeding (just like Dressler warned us about with the grey goo) and can be found all over the building I work in :confused:
I've been fascinated by all this EOTW stuff since I could read and know it's unlikely any technofixes will ultimately solve our problems, but I'm pretty good at this science stuff so might as well at least try before we run out of time/resources/will/sanity...

welcome to the new members this morning.
We should be a 200 within a week.
Just a hunch :-)
nanochicken - Brilliant!Quote:

We're all primates, but when the grid goes down a primate with a shovel just might be crowned king :DQuote:

Yowsers... well I was out for a week or two, came back, and bam..... somebody turned the lights out. :confused:
welcome both of you.
yeah LATOC evaporated. Most everyone made it and signed up on SustainableCountry.com but that's not really a doom site. So this one was made for that subject matter. Only been here 2 days though so its still a bit sparse.
We will be getting more content and users (think we are somewhere under 150 right now and 550 on the other site).
Anyway... glad you found us.
Just a quick note to say hello to everyone! I'll re-cloak here in a bit, but I just wanted to say thanks for those involved to make this happen. I'll be crossing that bridge between villages a lot, so hopefully I won't get kicked out of both places at once! :P
Thanks again and stay warm. The winds have finally died down here in NE Iowa, but we missed a half day of school because power poles were snapped off and we lost power. It was kind of sad to watch the adults running around not really knowing what do to! We just opened the shades and kept on reading! :)
AnIowan... if you look at the new posts link on the SustainableCountry.com I added a link that might help you. It on the nav bar above and takes you right to new posts here in another window.0
Hope that helps.
:-)
alex
Great feature for those of us who might be paddling back and forth across the river for village parties!
I probably missed where Alex explained this, but I couldn't help but notice when logging on today how much this site's appearance now resembles a certain lately lamented doom site. :D
He made the default style, er, default, so those at work wouldn't look like they were playing a FPS game! ;)
I still prefer the bunker style, but some people found it a bit hard on the eyes.
I can see that. It was cool, though. :)Quote:

Now I can return to my preferred doom-lurker status...
That's just not right
It is pretty funny though......
You better get back up north, farmer. Seeing your old name made me wince, a little pang from the past.Quote:

As I was about the enter my username, I pressed the 'N' key and some widget hidden deep inside my computer box thingy remembered my old name... it called to be. Farmers aren't doomers, but nothingmen... what's more doomy than a nothingman, eh?Quote:

We had goats, so maybe it wasn't really living. I opened the doors and started carrying in a couple bags of groceries. When I came back out they were in the car and had the remaining bags of groceries already in a state of nuclear distribution. It only took a couple minutes. Crikey.Quote:

I had recently purchased my first buck and took my two 12 year old grandsons (cousins) up to see him. He stuck his pencil thin, long penis out, and started decorating his face and beard and front legs with his urine. Then he turned to the boys and started making faces at them (like your picture.) Both boys simply froze. Neither looked at each other or me, just stared at the goat in complete shock.
So, after a few minutes, I said, "That's what they do to make themselves attractive to the ladies." Neither answered, looked at me or each other - just stared at the buck. So, finally I suggested we leave. As we were riding in the car on the way back down the hill, I heard one of them say to the other very quietly, "I'm sure glad I'm not a goat."
Boy howdy did I have to work not to crack up right then.
Ok, that did crack me up! I didn't know buck's did that when I got my first one. I was pretty appalled.
Thanks Alex! I went looking for that here a bit ago...works like a charm! :)Quote:

And thank you, The Dignity Of Struggle, for letting me know about this place. Most appreciated, and I've tried to pay it forward.
Glad to see you made it Pample!
Ewwww. You guys are talking about goats? On a doom forum? What's wrong with you?
((OMG. You don't know how much self control it took to keep from laughing and waking up Mr. DN))
Hey...not fair...for awhile there I was sweating it. Come home, fire up the internet, check for the latest news and its like that movie, The Happening, everyone was just GONE. No new postings...it was like everyone had been Raptured! I didn't pay much attention to Matts ads at the top of the page, like a Doomer wants to buy a Chevy or join a dating service, what ridiculous crap. So of course I never saw the "Go somewhere else" announcement.Quote:
