This thread is for posting announcements of general interest that might get lost in our rapid turnover of threads when one can't stay glued to the board.
Examples of what should be posted here...
- Serious life events we don't want to inadvertently ignore, such as the passing of a family member, the birth of a child, a vacation or surgery which will take you away from the board for an extended period of time, or an event of significant importance in your life, such as Rachael surpassing Patti's post total or someone reaching Master S'cubie status.
- Staff announcements concerning a change in the board, such as this new thread, or the start of a new game or contest.
- A brief announcement of an upcoming confirmed appearance in a movie or on tv by someone in the Jossverse, or a new interview, etc. Say something like ''there is a new interview with James M. The link is on the interview thread." .
This thread is NOT intended to eliminate discussion of any of the above items on the main thread. It is meant to be an info source for people who can't keep up, which includes all of us at times.
Examples of what should NOT be posted here:
- Discussion. Don't reply to the posts here - offer your sympathies or congrats or questions or responses on the main board or IM the people in question, or put your comments on the appropriate thread. Posts in response to announcements will be deleted so this thread remains useful.
- Daily events. Continue to use the main board to tell us when your child got an A or your professor was a jerk.
- Opinions about something or requests for the staff. Use the IM or email functions to contact the staff as always.
Patti - S'cubie C'utieI quoted Patti's previous opening for this, the second bulletin board, because... well, she said it right and I still miss her. Vlad

No worries! Nothing's going away. We are just moving around a few things on the board. Gotta make room for our new... acquisitions. Muuwahhahaha.
Errr, ummm... seriously, if you are looking for a review thread or something else and it's not where you expect it to be, just look around a little. It's there (or will be there momentarily if you actually caught us in mid-movement of the body thread.)
Speaking of mid-movement, we will be locking threads as they are being re-positioned. So, if a thread is temporarily locked, don't fret. This is done for your posting protection.
Vlad

Dearest S'cubies: Your technopagans have discovered a glitch in the system. After brainstorming, troubleshooting and some research at the Proboards help forum, we have discovered that if you have set your "show age" as "no" in the account preferences of your profile, you will miss showing up on the Info Center in the "Today's Birthdays" category AND as an automatic entry on the calendar. You will show up with your own name and birthday announcement on the calendar if a TP has made a special manual entry there, which will also show up on "Events This Month" but it won't appear on "Today's Birthdays" or as an auto-entry on the calendar at all. So if you want your birthday to appear everywhere, make sure to set your "show age" as "yes" in your profile!

For ease of use, there is now a new button on the UBBC menu. You can now hide spoilers (or potential spoilers, if you're not sure) by highlighting the text and clicking on the button that looks like a darker version of the smilie. And when you post, it looks like this: And when you click on the post, you get this.

Well folks, it looks like they finally caught up to us. Today I received in my email (and expect in my regular mail) the following "cease and desist" order letter, which I have uploaded to the website for everyone to see. www.soulfulspike.com/staff/soulfulspikeCnD.htmI am starting a thread in the CoW for the Council and Techs to go over our options. Especially helpful would be Onjel's thoughts and experience. I can promise you all this, we will not go down without a fight! Even if we have to strip our content down they will not take away the society that we have created here for the last 5 years! They can't take away from us what is ours: our camaraderie, our friendship... our family. We'll keep you appraised of the situation. We're all in this together. Vlad

Well, we’ve been here for five years, I think we’re pretty damn elite. You know one of the many things that makes us awesome? We keep growing…That’s right; not only do we have new staff, we have a whole new playground for the S’cubies! Introducing: The All New I Love, Love, Love TV thread, a special section for all those elite shows beloved by the S’cubies that don’t already have their own special area, hosted by the freshly elevated Monnie.
That’s right…wanna talk about House, The Office, Supernatural, Moonlight, sans spoiler tags? Have a longer discussion about Sam and Dean, JAM, or House’s huge brain? Pop an IM to Monnie with your request, and she will do your bidding (within reason, Spring!) and create your thread!
Elitism…it doesn’t have to be lonely anymore!

**********IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT*********
This Friday, August 1 the DR WHO episode is 90 minutes long, and therefore STARTS EARLY by one half hour This means at 7:30 central, rather than at 8. (Maybe everybody else already knew this, but I certainly did not. Did SciFi even mention it during last Friday's show or the preview?) I'll need to be reminded on Friday, of course.
