Ode to the New Forum



The Forum is back up and running, poor Simon had worked through the night,
Everyone came out of hiding, and gave him 3 cheers of delight,
He’d installed some security and updates, plus his own secret video tools,
Watching Catmint adjusting her bra straps, and E-Dog sat scratching his balls.

GB was unlocked from his cellar, his beard had grown down to his knees,
He sat at his desk typing lots of mistakes, ‘cos his whiskers got caught in the keys.
Jenny was feeling so happy, she sent all her kids home from school,
Then typed lots of posts to a Welshman she liked, who lived just outside Pontypool.

Clara immerged from her duvet, where she’d slept for 2 nights and a day,
The Incredibly Boring Thread was soon filled, with her posts that were often risqué,
Poor Jerry and Bouncer were lonely; they consulted a Shrink named Ahab,
Who told them they’d both got addicted, so sent them for 3 days Rehab.

A certain young Florida lady, jut relaxed in her beautiful pool,
Taking sips of her favourite cocktail, which had ice in to keep herself cool,
But Scrib’s hadn’t notice the Forum was back, as out in his garden he sits,
While his stunning PA sunbathed topless, calling, “Mike!” “Rub more oil on my :censored:.”


Simon. The New Forum looks great, thanks for getting it back on so fast.

Mike

Mike,
Your poem is lovely (again ...). Good to know you used the 'free' time wisely! (A 'Welshman'??)
We are all looking forward to hearing more 'straight from the poet's mouth'!


Simon,
I'm quite impressed by what - so far, at first glance - I have seen of the new forum. I like the clear, modern layout. And I'm impressed by the speed. And I like the new chat room! Thank you.
Jenny

Jenny. It had to be a Welshman as Pontypool rhymes with School. :)

Well done Simon...the 'new look' is fab. I thought the old style was fine...but WOW... this would take some beating.

What did I do while the forum was off line....I did battle with a deadly foe, namely brambles and couch grass. We had an area behind the garage which has been on my 'to do' list for months. So I spent all day yesterday fighting the good fight..and won! Although it was a close run thing.

I have yet to see it in all it's glory (I will in about 5 hours) but on my blackberry things seem a little more cluttered. But, I'm sure I'll get used to it. I missed you crazy buggars!

Agreed to blackberry part. Wonder how hard it is to make a mobile version. I should research this.

Edit: It is possible but Simon would have to add a MOD. Dunno how open he would be to it. I'm not greedy, but it IS possible

This is very cool!

Scribs ~ I believe E-Dog was scratching his jewels and why would your sunbathing PA want oil rubbed on her zits? Wouldn't that make them worse? :tease:

I am one of those who find any change difficult, initially. Then I get used to it and stop complaining. But why was "gender" added? I should check to see if "unknown" is a possible option.

It used to be in the colour of the icon on the left. But I do remember several times when people complained of "gender changes" because of being addressed wrongfully. I personally found that funny. And my name is unambiguous. (Ha, perhaps I'm really male*, just joking around? Who knows? But who knows anything on the Internet?)

*) NO, I'm only joking. Some people have seen my photo on pm - it's quite real. As is my facebook account.
