Note to new users ...

New users currently have to be turned on when they sign-up because of a rash of spam users enrolling to hawk their goods. I'll try and post here when someone gets activated going forward. JerseySlim - welcome aboard! (any one having user issues, please email us at cranepoolforum@gmail.com - all of the admins have access to this email and generally you should get a res- ponse with 24 hours) Thanks and enjoy.

Elster88 May 15 2006 12:27 PM

Someone should explain what "Welcome Aboardick" means.

getalife May 15 2006 12:56 PM

I don't get what you mean.

Edgy DC May 15 2006 01:15 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 15 2006 01:29 PM

He's concerned, I imagine, that new poseres aren't reading "Welcome A-Bordick!" and all its varient spellings not as warm greeting with a Metly spin, but rather as a coded version of "Welcome aboard, dick!"

TheOldMole May 15 2006 01:26 PM

Welcome a-Bordick would make more sense, anyway, if we were an Orioles site.

cooby May 15 2006 05:33 PM

They have to be turned on when they sign up? That seems kinda strict

Willets Point May 15 2006 05:59 PM

Jersey Slim hasn't posted yet either.

Edgy DC May 15 2006 06:00 PM

I understand that it seems an un-friendly hurdle, but your eager admins have been forced to delete hundreds of auto-registrations.

I was doing some messing around with the memeberlist and going over inactive people who have registered and turned them all back on. I know I personally activated about 3/4 of this list at one time or another but they should be able to post now if they want to. Sorry, there's some weird stuff that goes on with the member sign-up process - and as Edgy says I know I delete about 6-12 auto registers per day most days and if he's deleting you can see how that adds up. The following are the newly activated names (forgive typos, I just jotted 'em down on a piece of paper as going through them): Marty metsfan4eva gmet LayDownTheBunt JustBec Mendoza Line Robin 19 Joe H 33 johnt06 sheakyourbooty Ajax-JM FuntKlakow

getalife May 30 2006 07:22 PM

It would make it easier to detect the auto-registrants from the manual reg- istrants (who aren't advertising something) to just post a hello. Kinda hard to make demands when registering makes the board easier to read is good enough reason I suppose.

cooby Jun 01 2006 08:42 PM

getalife Jun 19 2006 05:06 PM

We're up to 25 posters with zero posts. At some point soon, I'm prolly gonna chop off some of the ones who registered, say, 2 months ago or more just to keep the list manageable.

Willets Point Jun 19 2006 05:15 PM

I'm intruiged by the name rencontres chaude avec de. According to AltaVista's Babelfish translator, that means "Meetings With Heat."

Edgy DC Jun 20 2006 03:21 PM

Yes they hoook you with intrigue. I know their game. I've seen it a thousand times. And so recon has been deleted before post one, along with sexo webcam and Ver animes. I left angelaaseerrranoo alone for now. But it looks bad. Somehow, they have a link to the worst blog ever, and now they've hooked me with intrigue.

Yancy Street Gang Jun 20 2006 03:29 PM

Our ratio of real people to spam accounts is pretty darn low, isn't it? In the last couple of months, I can only think of two new actual posters: Mr. Zero and Michigan Guy. (Isn't the Michigan Guy the man who looks like he's made of a pile of white tires? But I digress...) I wonder if there's a way to make the forum more spam resistant? Maybe when my thinking cap comes back from the cleaners...

You can get some good effects from Babelfish, though. I've written poems by taking a passage in English, Babelfishing it back and forth a few times, and then working with the new combinations of words that started to develop.

Please let Diana, Goddess of Love be a real new member who's here to talk about the Mets. That name's too good for a spammer.

Willets Point Jul 13 2006 09:01 AM

Exchaning vows didn't erase my sense of humor. I just like the funny, over-the-top handle. BTW, your mythological lesson of the day: Diana's the goddess of the hunt and Venus is the goddess of love.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 13 2006 09:05 AM

True! I should have caught that myself. I let it slide, thinking that Diana was Venus' Greek name, but of course it's not; it's Aphrodite.

KC Aug 07 2006 11:32 AM

I whacked Gina and somthing else before on the ehost side. I guess we can make it so all you have to do is answer the email again to post since we're getting less and less mechanical registrations. I'll do it tonight, if I do it from the admin console it screws up the headers.

Crunchy Frog in fact is "only the finest baby frogs, dew picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope and lovingly frosted with glucose." They don't take the bones out otherwise it wouldn't be crunchy.

MFS62 Sep 12 2006 08:53 AM

There may be a dozen reasons why a new poster might be reluctant to post on a board, even if they've read the board for weeks or months, and one of those dozen reasons (given the right circumstances and new poster) would certainly have to be some of the stuff in this thread. A wise man once counseled me, "DON'T LOOK AT THE BLUE BAR".

It's all a stupidly hopeless loop of mechanically induced time wasting. It's dumb enough to advertise here to buy limp dick medicine and pollute every forum you can find with it just by writing some kind of program. But now, it seems to me, that the registrants who don't even put links to annoy - put stuff with high google ratings based on today's forum content. Daytona and Vista are two occurences today. Just dumb, only the admins can see the email addresses. I don't mind deleting the nonsense, but I really don't see the point and I'd love to know who thinks they're getting somewhere by doing it.
