  1. So, from my exalted throne on Mount Adminpus, I gaze down upon you mortals, and I'm pleased, but puzzled. (end joking)

    I'm curious. Many of you know that I've been admin here for almost 5 years. In that time we've gone from ~600 members to almost 7000.

    Obviously, many of our members don't return, or have found other interests, or whatever. But, we do have a suprisingly large contingent, at least to me, of people who have made this their "home" forum of choice.

    Why is that? What keeps you coming back? Why ya'll like it here?

  2. 1. conformity to the rules of right conduct; moral or virtuous conduct.

    2. moral quality or character.

    3. virtue in sexual matters; chastity.

    4. a doctrine or system of morals.

    5. moral instruction; a moral lesson, precept, discourse, or utterance.

    that isn't much help, tho.

    Moral? Okay.

    1. of, pertaining to, or concerned with the principles or rules of right conduct or the distinction between right and wrong; ethical: moral attitudes.

    2. expressing or conveying truths or counsel as to right conduct, as a speaker or a literary work; moralizing: a moral novel.

    3. founded on the fundamental principles of right conduct rather than on legalities, enactment, or custom: moral obligations.

    4. capable of conforming to the rules of right conduct: a moral being.

    5. conforming to the rules of right conduct (opposed to immoral): a moral man.

    6. virtuous in sexual matters; chaste.

    7. of, pertaining to, or acting on the mind, feelings, will, or character: moral support.

    8. resting upon convincing grounds of probability; virtual: a moral certainty.

    –noun 9. the moral teaching or practical lesson contained in a fable, tale, experience, etc.

    10. the embodiment or type of something.

    11. morals, principles or habits with respect to right or wrong conduct.

    I like definitions 1 and 7 on that last one...If the drafted one agrees, we can shoot for that.

  3. And at the very extreme risk of people think I'm trying to shut down conversation, I'm going to close this thread. Mistakes were made on many sides here, and I think further beating things down is just detrimental to the forum as a whole.

    Not to bring privacy issues into light here, but Phil and I had a very long talk yesterday about what had happened. Mistakes were made on both sides of the field, and it was by random chance that things went the way they did. It could have just as easily been blown off.

    let's not continue this. Please?

  4. thank you, thank you.

    I'm glad it amused, but I cannot take credit for the poem.

    I can't write very well, personally..ask anyone**.

    And yeah, Claire, I screwed with the line breaks. It was pretty much as you had posted it, actually. I thought it'd be better in paragraphs, cuz I'm that kinda guy.

    **Hush, Theresa.
