This is Brad, writing as the general admin. I've made some more changes to the user database and the sign-up process. Please let me know if anyone hears of anyone having trouble getting onto the forum. I've also cleaned out all of the inactive and spam accounts from the past few years.

FYI, this is Brad, logged in as the root admin.

I'm going to be making some changes to see if I can't stop some of this frocking spam.

Stay tuned...

Yes, the Bruce Willis movie is called Surrogates. I actually saw it and found it very entertaining. I don't think it was a slayer at the box office but I thought it was a great movie nonetheless.

Well done, Emery!

I think we'll be hearing a lot more from you in times to come.

Peter

Well done, Alastair!

I would still love to see you at one of the Writers of the Future ceremonies. Crossing my fingers for you.

In LA they have bus benches and bus board that say "For Humans Only" and "aliens not allowed to sit on this bench or to ride on this bus". It 's kinda funny. I don't know if they have it in other places too.

So, Kevin is ready for tonight. I just talked to him and he'll be here right around 6.30 pm PST tonight. He is very much looking forward to be here with us tonight. Let's have an extremely productive and fun time!

This is to kick off the general question thread, where you can talk about anything that doesn't fit into any of the other topics.

Simon,

I am onto it. I'll come out shortly and yes, I have been very tied up on other projects. My apologies, really.

Peter

Thanks everybody for their input. From this I got an idea, that might work for this discussion. It goes back to what Laurie suggested on having a few main themes that are being discussed and what John said about having one MAIN thread. What, if we had 5 threads, of which one is the MAIN thread with ...

Thanks, guys. Maybe we can have one MAIN topic and then allow a maximum of 5 other topics (obviously that's just an arbitrary number) in order to keep it manageable. I'm about to announce it to all the WOTF newsletter subscribers as well, so I think we'll have a bigger crowd! Probably need to think ...

I just have a question to you all. What do you prefer in terms of having an author here on the forum: 1. Just having one topic in a continuous stream of questions and answers, or 2.
