moonbat Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 OK I'm not really a moonbat. But I'm not good at thinking up clever monikers on the spot either. Hopefully I can change it later when I figure out something more "me". Meanwhile, I'm new here. Not entirely sure I belong here, or will fit in here, so I will probably "lurk" a bit (read stuff without posting) until I get a feel for the community flow. I'm not a snoop or a stalk, just cautious about jumping into established groups and group bonds and don't wanna make an ass of myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiaB Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I did'nt think you could change your user name Changing a user name would require submitting a request to an admin, and it's generally only done under exceptional circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olga Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 spaceair, I don't know what the heck you are talking about, but please take it to your own thread or to a blog. This is moonbat's introductory topic and is not a place to talk about your theories and convictions. Or whatever it is you are talking about. Anyway, do it somewhere else. Moonbat, welcome to Crazyboards. I'm glad you joined up and I hope you like hanging out with us. olga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonbat Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Thanks for all the welcomes everyone. What does it mean when a reply is not added because it is posted "too quickly". Do I have to type sloowwwwwllllyyyyyy-errrrr or something? Adding drivel to add time so this isn't "too quickly" anymore. Drivel drivel drivel ...

There is a limit on how much time between posts to avoid spamming, or slow it down. Just take a little more time before hitting post. I like your avatar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I have to type sloowwwwwllllyyyyyy-errrrr or something? Open another window or tab and do something meaningful or meaningless until time has passed. There's always Spider Solitaire. It saves us from storms of automatic or cut-and paste posts... (the time limit, not the Spider Solitaire) Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hello and welcome moonbat! You must type pretty quick to get that warning. It is to stop bots and spam, and it works pretty well. I'm a big fan of Spider Solitaire myself. Welcome to CB. I hope you enjoy it here. There are a couple of people here that like bats and think they're adorable. I'm one of them. Great nick and avatar. If you have any questions, don't fail to ask them. We don't bite, but we also don't walk on eggshells. We are pretty laid back, and only have a few rules. Lurk away, jump in when you're comfortable. It's pretty hard to make an ass of yourself here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonbat Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Hey everypony. Yeah I do type fast, almost as fast as I think, which makes it a far more ideal medium for noting my thoughts than a pen and notebook, though there's something old-school and romanticized about the latter ... Man what a crap week. I've had rampant insomnia -- lucky if I grabbed 3 or 4 hours of sleep any given night -- and more triggers than a gun factory. OK the last was an exaggeration just so I could show off one of my favorite one-liners. But I did have a triggering experience and given that these are fairly rare nowadays it was unsettling enough just by happening. It was also oddly productive and useful for me in the end. The insomnia is what has really bit me in the arse end. I don't know whether to work from home today or just say fuggit and report in sick so I can sleep, or just give up and go in, but if I sit here yawning over my coffee any longer I won't have to decide on that last one ... Thanks for all the welcomes again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
