3258. alistairConnor - 6/22/2010 2:33:49 PM Don't mock, Tful... as I recall, you are very guarded about your own identity. Everyone has their position on the transparency/anonymity gradient, and their own reasons for being there.
Yes Mr B : it's a fairly simple fix, we'll just have to canvass the secret cabal about it.
All opinions welcome. We haven't had a meltdown in years! 3259. wabbit - 6/22/2010 2:51:29 PM I don't have any objections. 3260. arkymalarky - 6/22/2010 4:51:11 PM Sometimes I'm tempted to move into civilization or drop out of it altogether. This is one of those times. I had a post and lost it. It basically said I've enjoyed the anonymity from another direction. My friends, colleagues, students and fam know about the mote and I've tried unsuccessfully to recruit many of them. They don't get the appeal, tho most have met at least one rl motie. But my community is small and out of respect for them and Bob, who doesn't really like being dragged into the light without his consent, I've maintained my pseudonym. Whatever y'all agree to do is fine with me.
I also posted something about facebook, basically that I have big reservations about it but we use it to keep up with former exchange students and it's been greaqt for connecting with people I don't see, but I don't use it to communicate. And I don't post every time my butt itches. I don't get people who do that and I try to avoid them, except some are family. 3261. thoughtful - 6/22/2010 5:03:14 PM not mocking...just stunned
I am very guarded about my identity here, but largely trust in the volume of transactions on the internet to keep the majority of my transactions anonymous. 3262. bhelpuri - 8/2/2010 8:40:13 AM my concerns, stated above, are quite unremarkable.

Happy birthday Mote...? 3264. arkymalarky - 9/11/2010 8:04:34 PM Eleven years! Hard to believe. 3265. alistairConnor - 9/11/2010 8:58:16 PM ummm age of reason? 3266. iiibbb - 9/12/2010 2:20:56 AM I've known you guys for 11 years? Jiminy Cricket 3267. Ms. No - 9/12/2010 7:21:19 AM Happy birthday to us! 3268. wabbit - 9/12/2010 2:19:38 PM Indeed, 11 years. Yikes! 3269. vonKreedon - 9/12/2010 5:57:34 PM Wow, yeah happy birthday to the Mote! 3270. bhelpuri - 11/22/2010 5:49:33 AM Fascinating article about 'Brute' Krulak, An All Time Great Marine. Grandfather of long-time Motard. 3271. sovereign9 - 9/20/2011 8:49:29 PM The Fray of Slate is believed to be closing today.
I have alerted some posters from Fray, to MOTE.
On MOTE, I'd like to know if there's a way to see "More by this USER." And if there's a way to just swing out and replace Fray's features in one way or another. 3272. arkymalarky - 9/21/2011 12:21:36 AM Hi Sovereign9! Welcome to the Mote! Have you been here before? If not, how did you hear about us? We've been just what you see here for a long time. 3273. iiibbb - 9/21/2011 2:11:26 AM MORE PEOPLE! (as long as they're nice) 3274. arkymalarky - 9/21/2011 2:21:02 AM Agree! 3275. iiibbb - 9/21/2011 2:54:25 PM Sovereign9
The mote is no-frills... can't search, can't do anything really... but that has it's charm. It's kept the Mote small, and got a bit smaller when more prolific posters flooded the conversations... but it's quiet now... a fine time for some new people to drop in. 3276. bhelpuri - 12/6/2012 1:31:59 PM Make all URL's active, please. I know the Father of the Motion is more than capable... 3277. Jenerator - 12/4/2013 12:16:19 AM Last I heard, TcKrulak got his PhD in Theology.
