This is deeply ironic. A thread titled "The Tank Has Gone to Hell" starts off with interpersonal arguments and general bitching and slowly morphs into an educational discussion on the definitions of and distinctions between libertarianism, liberalism and socialism. :lol: The Tank is autis...

Basically, we don't, unless you go back through your posts and see the note, "thanked by [user name]" under your user items to the left of the post. There's no way to call up a list of them on this version of phpBB, according to Vain. Ah... Time to scroll individually through my 9500+ pos...

Question: how do we know which posts have been Thanked?

Romney will of course be supporting big business. I support their prosperity as well--just not their lease to act morally reprehensible. Both choices--Republican and Democrat--allow and leave the mechanisms for more housing bubbles and shrinkage of the middle-class. The middle-class was a fluke from...

Let's use this Tank thread as a center for commenting on and reviewing the DNC, which begins 7.00 PM EST in one of my neighboring states, North Carolina. We'll comment on what we liked about each day, what speaker we enjoyed (or didn’t enjoy) and what is missing or lacking or what was done well or c...

Be careful, David. It's my job. I'm a writer. :lol: Well; not for a living--BUT. Been going at it for over a decade. I have to do this. Self-mind-blowing. Maybe we could mod and create a Ghost/Wicca/Pagan forum centered on mystery? I think that would be kewl. PS. Will comment on your story soon, 't...

St. Elmo's fire? Will-o-the-wisp? I like the idea of a wisp. It was very ordered and had an intense center and a cone of light radiating outward like a flash in every possible way--just no camera or body anywhere near. And I can only speculate; but I think it was a spirit as we seem to be hearing (...

I've lived almost 30 years, long enough to think in a few moments what are my most consistently loved foods. Not foods that blow my tongue away necessarily but certainly are something I could eat endlessly but feel like I'm getting more than a snack experience. Here goes. 1) Sushi. GOOD sushi, not c...

Hey guys. As was probably obvious to most of you, I was kidding about the deer. But I did witness something on the edge of the woods late this afternoon that caught my eye. Speaking of my eye: I've always had very little dissonance in terms of seeing things--that is, if I think or believe I saw some...

Worm, if you haven't read HP your education is sadly lacking. Maybe my "experience" of book reading could use some HP, but I'd say I'm darn well erudite already! :lol: As for books to read before dying--LOTR, Thomas Covenant, some Philip K. Dick, Cormac McCarthy, and Wuthering Heights.

Is that from Harry Potter? I haven't read that series, consider it spoiled for me?

Not to rain on your parade, but I don't understand why you don't think this was a live deer. Deer hiss and huff, and they have hooves which they stomp when they feel threatened, and run away when approached. I believe in the spirit world, but if it looks like a deer and sounds like a deer and runs ...

I saw a ghost this evening, I believe! The moon was very bright and I saw what looked like a shadow of a deer. I got closer and it made some kind of hissing or huffing sound, then I saw the shadow run off and a sound of various hooves rustling through the leaves and around trees. I tried to get a pi...

I have 2 Foul Ducks. Who will be my slave for one?

I would like WGDs for all the "How Do You Feel Today?" threads, adjusted for inflation. Which comes to 420 Foul Ducks and a Sunbane.

Plus a soul.

Null: you owe me 25% of what they gave you for stickying your Hall threads.

This thread has gone to hell at least four times. No biggie.

Ash, Vader, you missed it all!! Better than General Hospital on its best day!! Some guy introduces some other guy to the boards who then immediately turns into a third class prankster while the first guy renames himself and gives his old name to someone else, yet later he regrets it all and wants h...

If I knew who you were I'd feel slighted and be able to address the source of transgression. But that would spoil who you are and also I imagine you're going to reply in more poetry anyway.

Oh well. Onward and upwards!

I also concur Certainly I'm not here much But want the option Be quiet non-Tanker. Just kidding. I believe hiding the board only if someone opts out of it on the Options page might work. The option to "Tank" back on (or off) could be under Prefernces along with with other Yes/No questions...
