    #2! Woohoo.

  3. reaper0bot0 says:

    Strictly speaking I think that was #1.

  4. pwgsappdd says:

    Hey, guess who I am?

  5. reaper0bot0 says:

    I appreciate the work, Andrew. I just don’t know if this particular place winds up being permanent. We’ve got to be able to hash all this out. We’ll see where it goes.

  6. wahoodaddy says:

    Hey, I’d be happy to spring a few bucks to register us a domain name, if someone were so inclined.

  7. wahoodaddy says:

    Oh, and I’m “ragekage”

  8. reaper0bot0 says:

    Hey, how do I post on the front page?

  9. stevem1 says:

    The inability to put a space, underscore, or just about anything else in your username really sucks. Oops, sorry for whining.

  10. spacemanspiff1 says:

    This “wahoo” is campaiging with alegre and Knowvox for the nominee!

    Knew it was you rage! Does that count as a sockpuppet? Heh.

    I think it’s a great place to get started and I’m sure it’s not permanent. As soon as we get off the ground I’m sure the blog will take off. To many great diarists and commenters in one place.

    Does anybody know how to get in touch with Student Guy?

    He would be such an asset to this site.

    How about grassrootsorganizer?

  11. jsfox says:

    Looking forward to seeing how this goes. Thanks to all those for getting it up and running.

  12. sricki says:

    GRO will know about it, if she doesn’t already. Pretty sure she knows.

    As for SG, there are some complications there. He had some sort of incident wherein some of his behavior on the blogs got back to people IRL. I’m afraid to email him at his real address because he almost made it sound like he was being monitored. Maybe I’m wrong, but he changed his user name on MyDD for a reason. I still don’t know what happened.

  13. spacemanspiff1 says:

    I’m going to sleep for a bit.

    Hope to see this comment board full when I get back! : )

  14. spacemanspiff1 says:

    Is Stundent Guy the same person as January 20?

    I seem to get that impression.

    He’s been missed. Hope he gets ahold of this place!

  15. sricki says:

    No, SG is someone else, I’ll email you his name privately.

  16. kysentoo says:

    rage!
    How goes it my friend?

    Are you in on the email thread?

    If not, email me at Kysen411 at gmail dot com and I will add you to the list.

    We really do have a good crowd forming.

    This is gonna get interesting.

    Also…fer gawd’s sake will someone please tell me who ‘John’ is?
    lol

  17. reaper0bot0 says:

    I don’t know and he doesn’t answer.

  18. ms01indie1 says:

    I sent an email to grassrootsorganizer to tell her we are gathered here.

  19. sricki says:

    Yeah I have no idea who that John guy is…

  20. ms01indie1 says:

    I’M JOHN!!!! LOL

    I replied to the question in several of the emails that were flying about and posted it in the other thread on here.

    Whoever setup this blog needs to assign author permissions if they want any of us to post a diary. I suggest we start one for domain name discussions, another for site rules, and another for a discussion on what everyone thinks the site should be dedicated to.

  21. sricki says:

    LOL, sorry! I’m easily confuciused. πŸ˜‰

  22. sricki says:

    Oh no, it actually puts in those stupid, insipid little emoticons. I hate those things.

  23. atdleft says:

    Too bad… We have ’em. πŸ˜‰

  24. reaper0bot0 says:

    Andrew, I attempted to write a diary on the front page awhile ago. Please authorize me to do so!

  25. atdleft says:

    You already are. Have you logged into your WordPress account? If you are, just start a new post. πŸ™‚

  26. reaper0bot0 says:

    Andrew, that doesn’t work. I have twice now tried to post one, but the only option is “submit for review” which I have done. Only you and Kysen can actually post at the front.

    Please do to my account whatever you did to Kysen’s.

  27. kysentoo says:

    Oh dear lord.
    TexasDarlin’s blog is one of the Top WordPress blogs?
    Gack…there goes the neighborhood!
    Or, since I reckon she’s been here a while….there ‘went’ the neighborhood!!

  28. atdleft says:

    reaper-

    Try now. You’re an author. πŸ˜‰

    Kysen-

    It’s OK. You don’t have to view TD from here. You’re safe here. πŸ™‚

  29. hootie4170 says:

    How the hell do I become a member? Is there any hazing involved?

  30. Holli De Groote says:

    I heard it might involve some of those psychotropic weapons I heard about on mydd. caution may be advised.

  31. Koan says:

    Looks great, guys. I’ll be checking frequently.

  32. kysentoo says:

    We are in the process of coming up with a more permanent home.

    Till, then…this place can serve as a sounding post for anyone interested in giving thoughts/suggestions as to what a more permanent home should should include.

    Good to see the ‘faces’ that are commenting in here.

    Keep it up!
