The most accurate word is "lurkers."

But sometimes yes, sometimes no.

Oh, I get it. I read someone saying that somewhere about a week ago, but I didn't know what they were talking about. Is that why the viewing rates are so high?

Probably so. Also, since the Teacup is the most popular place on the board by far (great job, Nurvi! ), a lot goes on that people sometimes look up for various reasons.

I don't have a nick-name besides Entmoot either, so no hope there. Maybe just edr, like initials for Elven DragonRider. If that will work for you.

Interesting.
Didn't want this to be forgotten...
The administrator justtold me I can only post again after 90 seconds. Good rule, I can see how that helps block spammers and junk like that.

You hear that? He says it's a good rule! Haha! You must be new.

[elven dragonrider]

I didn't say it was a good rule
I said it kept spammers out. It irritates the heck out of partially innocent people like me though.

[trolls' bane]

Au contraire! You did say it was a good rule. I will embolden the words you put. Don't believe me, scroll back up.

I rest my case.

[elven dragonrider]

Okay, I didn't mean it, sorry to catch a sore spot.
What is the purpose of the Calendar at the top of the main page if you are not living in the year 2006? Unfortunately I am not, so I don't see its use. Perhaps I am missing some subtle point of intricacy that gives it purpose, but as of yet I haven't found it.

It's a good question. I don't know. As a time traveller, I have a temporal-correlating calendar (which will be invented in about three hundred years or so), so I needn't worry about using local calendars.
Except in the 1600s...

[elven dragonrider]

Very funny. What exactly happened in the 1600s though? I like to study the Middle Ages a lot, and that is around then.

*dithers in tired, having no sleep for the past week* Horses are god's most evil creation. On the bright side, my stock saddle has finally been broken in...

....thoroughly.

fits me.

You can call me sis, although Lief uses "Earl."

I consider that my pet name, lol.

I'm thinking "El E" for you, unless you're male and would be offended.

tea, or something harder? Sun's over the yardarm, somewhere.

HATE that 90 second rule. I swear, that's why Lief's posts are so ungodly long.

[The last sane person]

Something much harder. Then I shall hit the pillow, because in about four hours I have a group of little ones to teach the basics of horsemanship.

...Lovely. Ibeprofin save me!

[durinsbane2244]

.....what's a stock saddle?

[The last sane person]

Austrailian Stock saddle. A mix tween English and Western riding. Very comfortable and utilitarian. Can be used for jumping, endurance, working live stock(since mine has a horn)....I love it, and it was a steal too, at 50 bucks, almost new.

Stock saddle... ugh. I like my fancy silver show saddle very much, thank-you. (Unfortunately it cane with a massive price tag, and I will still be using it in my next lifetime because I will never be able to afford another)

[durinsbane2244]

*still desperately trying to get into the conversation*

so, so, so, how's everybody doing? what's new? how's life? gack!

I take no offense. Sounds good. What is it supposed to mean though?The 90 second rule got me again. They ought to make it 40 seconds.

I am going to attempt to teach my pathetic fellow 4-H'ers the proper way to stay on their horses, if they ever ride the things long enough to learn anything. Supposedly I am part of a "horse" club, but all they ever do is sheep. Ugh, and then they get all the awards because they go around and flaunt every tiny thing they do and say how they are doing all this stuff when really I am the only one who is actually doing anything with their horse, or especially really compete in the highest levels of American Quarter Horse showing. Sorry if I have just mystified everyone who has read this.
