Stevie: Not the dreaded translation sites!

One I know of is: http://babelfish.altavista.com/

Stevie: Fencer is in the Cave.

Asterisks to replace letters in swear words aren't allowed either.

Stevie: As this is an international site people should be aware that some words don't travel the Atlantic well. Words that are taboo in the UK are acceptable in the US and vice versa. Ideally all these words should be best avoided. The English language is rich and you don't have to use vulgar words or colloquialisms.
The way these words are used and in what context also go towards the moderating decision. Most, if not all, public board moderators are aware of the variations in meaning of different words and act accordingly.
There are many ways of asking someone to 'go away'. Unfortunately, the variation you chose was unacceptable.
The bottom line is, be nice or don't post.

I also think if this subject is to be pursued further then it would be wise to take it to an appropriate fellowship or privately, away from public boards.

Socrates: Feature Requests board.

wellywales: Ydych chi'n gwirfoddoli?

Mirjam: Jason.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think wellywales is talking about a normal English spellchecker, nothing to do with Czech.

bwildman: The last I heard Fencer was negotiating serialisation rights with 'Blue Rinse Weekly', 'Trailer Homes Monthly' and 'Amazing Stories'.

I want a James Earl Ray voice. Bry can have the voice of Liberace. Harley? Nora Batty.

Daniel Snyder: Try pressing ctrl with F5 on your computer for a refresh.

baddessi: The question to which 'pass me a spoon was the answer' was my, 'will you muck out the stables for me if I bought you a new microwave?'

NOT a floosie: Wednesday? You're not getting any younger you know. It's been a while since you had one of the starring roles in the film, Cocoon.

Press the Union Jack flag on the log-in page?

TexasToest: Yep! Don't forget you can use autovacation as well.

€1 per day - €5 per week.

Czuch Chuckers: Try it with both of you on each other's blocked user lists as well. They might cancel each other out or something.

Bry: When you've finished the Lancashire one.

ScarletRose: Sorry, Scarlet. It must have been a 'Fuddian slip' My computer has 'R' and 'W' on the same keyboard. Now that's just asking for twouble in my book.

On-topic advertising of other sites is allowed but with moderation. Posting links everywhere constitutes spamming and will not be allowed.
It's up to the moderator of a board to decide if the posts are relevent or not but, saying that, the 10x8 board is the obvious place for Gothic Chess and any on-topic links (within reason).

As ScarletWose pointed out, if you don't like them use the 'hide' feature.

Walter Montego: Surely with that scenario a fellowship ceases to be a fellowship and becomes a public board.

JamesHird: Greek Orthodox Easter - and other Orthodox of course - was today (okay, yesterday now).

JamesHird: Forget my last post - I thought you were refering to something else. It's been a long Easter Sunday.....

JamesHird: Fencer is aware of all of them and will be taking the necessary action.

Yuri: $20.63. Paypal will show you the rate.

ClayNashvilleTn:

Tick the 'show smileys' box at the bottom of the first page of Settings.

Because the first move in backgammon depends on the roll of the dice.

BerniceC:
Of course I use Fairy Non-Bio because it's huggably soft and oh so kind to my hands.

BerniceC: Stop washing everything in 4X.

Eriisa: Would you go back in my history and give my Maths teacher a good slap?
Thanks.

Jason: go to the player list and there's a drop-down box for countries.

That's just the players with the Union Flag, Clay. Now add the English, the Scots, the Welsh and the Northern Irish.

Bry: Nice bit of jingoism there - click the Union Jack and everything's okay. (strains of Rule Britannia wafts around brainking)

harley: That's what worries me.

nobleheart: Did you get permission from harley to use her best frown photo?

Fencer: Oh come on, don't sell yourself short. Make it €500!

MadMonkey: I agree with you.
I'd buy an extra week or so. I was in Argentina much longer than originally intended and used up a huge chunk of my allocation. Something similar is bound to crop up during this year.

How about it, Fencer, old chap? It'll mean more money!

reza: The site is being translated into several languages. It's part of Fencer's cunning plan for world domination.

I don't think there is anyone doing Farsi. Are you offering.

Ah! So it only shows two invites for any one game type from any one player?
Have I got that right?

BerniceC: Cool!
It's nice to see someone from Svalbad and Jan Mayen playing here.

Now where is it? I've never heard of it!

ScarletRose: Typical! You girls start something then have to come crawling to a bloke to fix it when you break it!

Also, Scarlet, when Fencer suggested that you write 'bla bla bla', please don't take it personally. I'm sure he meant all women!

Oh man, am I in trouble!

Stevie: Does that mean the party has been cancelled?

Jason: That's you, you fool!

Sorry they're all sleeping in the pic. I'll try and take one when they're all awake at the same time. Probably 3am....

I think they're called trouble.

A huge 'THANK YOU' to everyone that sent their good wishes to panda, myself and our new baby girls.
As you can appreciate, I don't have enough time to reply to everyone individually at the moment - so I hope this reaches everyone.
Thanks, guys, it means a lot and I'll convey all your sentiments to Krista and the girls - Cristyn, Bethan and Siân. All are doing extremely well and will be home, hopefully, around the middle of January.
Necessity, they say, is the mother of invention so I'm going to drape saddlebags over the computer monitor and deposit 1 girl in each bag and have the other in one arm - leaving one free hand for the mouse.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Czuch uses webtv.

€1 = $1.33 US. Gotta love it!

Thank you - ta! Very common in the UK (Oz too I see!)

4 days? Where from? I've had internal mail take longer than that!

Don't quote me on this, but I imagine as soon as a customer services rep receives payment they contact Fencer and the account is activated then - before the money reaches Fencer.
