MuseBlog

Two months in a row, this time with Pi Day hot on its heels! How is your luck holding out this month?

These silly threads fill up almost faster than we can create them. You know the drill: pick a pseudonym; guess and be guessed.

Continued from version 2009.1.

NOTE: Check your posts before sending them. The Administrators will not rescue you if you accidentally submit one under your “real” blogname. Many an alter ego has fallen victim to a careless “submit” click.

While Robert was out and about today, he stumbled across a newsstand that was selling this: Read more »

From there to here, from here to there,
Funny things are everywhere.

Indeed they are — and nowhere more so than on MuseBlog. We’re pretty sure the good doctor would have approved of Muse, the Muses, and us.

A thread on which Musers who have written, are writing, or want to write books can bounce ideas off others who share that interest.

Continued from v. 2008.3.

A.k.a. counterfactual history: by overwhelming popular request, a thread for discussing things that didn’t happen and how the world might have been different if they had.

Howdy, stranger! You new around here? Come right in! We’ve got some pie waiting for you, and friendly locals ready to answer your questions and help you feel at home.

For starters, we recommend that newcomers (that’s what “neophytes” means) look over The Rules and The HG2MB (Hitchhiker’s Guide to MuseBlog), which contains more helpful information than you can shake a stick at. We don’t know why you’d want to shake a stick at it, but now you know you don’t have to bother.

MuseBlog Veterans: Please use this thread only to welcome newcomers as they arrive and answer questions that they ask.

RPG? RRR? Something else? You decide.

Yesterday Kittymine reported:
((GAPA’s: URGENT MESSAGE- SOMEONE HAS POSTED A WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF ABOVE THE USUAL SIDEBAR.))

And Groundhog amplified:
…it’s on the sidebar, above the calendar. It looks a lot like the “Most Recent Posts” list, except that it doesn’t have a header. It’s a list of “buy this, buy that” sort of stuff. I’m not going to mention what they wanted you to buy, it’s kind of inappropriate. It’s not showing up on my laptop either, but I can confirm that it was showing up on our family’s computer.

Does anybody else see what they’re seeing? The GAPAs don’t, and our Web host says our site’s code seems to be in order. If it’s just Groundhog and Kittymine, then it seems likely that their computer has been infected and they need to run some anti-virus software.

If you ever see advertising of any kind on the blog, please let us know, because we certainly won’t have put it there.

Piggy pronounced a plea proposing a ploy to plenish the pleasant presence of preternaturally prolix people.

So far, the day has been getting mixed reviews on the Random Thread. How’s your luck holding out?

You changed the world.

One a year seems to be enough for our Jokes & Riddles threads. We’re not very funny people, it seems.

This month’s Random Thread commemorates the flamablamablous wondrousness of the universe (though, of course, you’re free to use it to talk about anything you like).

(Users’ Manual: Obey The Rules. Consult The Guide. Have fun!)

Unlike the random thread, this discussion thread stays on topic until the topic changes or the month ends.

Newcomers should read The Rules and The Guide before plunging in.

Current topic: The weather

Coming up: Cool places we’ve been to or want to go to

If new to the blog, good to see you! Make this thread your first stop to meet the locals, ask any questions you might have, and get initiated into the Ways of the Blog.

Please read The Rules. You might also glance at The HG2MB (Hitchhiker’s Guide to MuseBlog), which contains helpful hints regarding local customs, lingo, and other peculiarities of the blog; smiley information included.

MuseBlog Veterans: Please use this thread only to welcome newcomers as they arrive and answer questions that they ask.

Help others navigate the blog by signposting your favorite threads here, when they’ve scrolled off the main page. In the first DFTT thread of the year, we’re particularly interested in hearing about old, dormant threads that you’d like to revive.
