Has anyone tried the new 'Chat' link at the top of the page?  Apparently my login is banned from there at the moment (that's what it says when I try to go in), but just wondering if anyone else has got in successfully?

MF.
Meep!

It let me in but I'm the only one there. 

I'm looking forward catching up on recent events with me, myself, and I
;D

According to my supersecret moderator powers, I don't see any active bans in the chatroom. It might be that it can't handle super moderators.

Not even the least bit funny!!! I've never actually been banned before!  :o
Meep!

Works for me, I'm in there... I sense a lot of sarcasm in my future

A banning MF shouldn't you warn yourself as well  ;)

Anyway couldn't get in at work but works at home just not on IE 64 had to use IE 32 bit for the Adobe plugin

Cheers

I often warn myself - in fact I think for moderators, the Applaud adds to negative and Warn adds to positive.  It certainly explains a lot! :)

I believe another user was taking my name in vein and pretending to be me pretending not to be me in the chat room.  I know who he is, and I'm sending the Boys round!!
Meep!

MFGF

Sadly, I'm still banned from the chat pages.  I must have been a very very bad boy (shame I don't remember, though - it must obviously have been fun!!).

My ban screen is attached as a cautionary tale for any other members considering a life of debauchery like mine must have been (at some unknown point)...
Meep!

Just saw this message and tried it ! It let me in  and I chatted with Paul.

For getting around your ban, all you have to do is create another ID on the forum and use that  ;)


MFGF

Yup - that's a good thought.  I just need to come up with a stealth user id that you spookily intuitive lot will not recognise within ten seconds flat!  Then I can make rude comments about you all without fear of reprisals.  Oh, wait, that's not allowed is it? In fact, that could get me banned all over again... :-)
Meep!

Well, if I was the Admin, I won't ban anybody for bashing people up because that actually starts a conversation that shoots the adrenalin up your blood stream thereby increasing blood circulation which is so neccecary to improve health. So you see, making rude comments and inviting people to do so at you is healthy so even doctors would prescribe that  ;D

MFGF

I like your thinking!  I have an idea for the name of a new user ID that nobody will ever guess is me, so I may well be hurling insults very soon while at the same time keeping my reputation intact! ;)
Meep!

Hi All,

I can't see the chat room now at the top of the page... is it banned?  :(

bdbits

Well for what it's worth, I don't see any sort of chat option either. I even tried IE thinking my locked down FF might be blocking something, but I do not see anything through the out-of-the-box IE either.

charon

the people have spoken...give us the chatroom back, where mfgf can ban us!  :P

You haven't lived until you've been banned by a muppet

Somebody told me it was an exhilarating thrill! I think I would enjoy it. Oh, wait... If the muppet gets banned, who would do the banning? Or is that your cunning plan - to get me to ban myself so you can sieze my super-muppet powers?? Aha! Your wicked plot is uncovered!

Hmmm - I'm getting paranoid. I think I need a lie-down! :)
Meep!

Lol. Paul "hit me with your ban stick" M. I should have known a Cognoise super-hero would come to the rescue.  ::)

Ha ha. No - just a variation on an old song title by Ian Dury & The Blockheads :)

I'm far too young to remember it, of course! Ahem. :-)

Holy cow! Ian Dury & The Blockheads!!! What a blast from the past.

Another hit of theirs was

"Cubes & Charts & Drag & Drop"

or something like that....my memory of the exact title is a bit hazy for many reasons

;)

I haven't laughed this hard in ages!! That is too funny!!!!  ;D

I wonder if all the youngsters are now doing google searches to figure this out or if they are simply shaking their heads with a bemused smile over the silly old folks
