With the confirmed sighting of our favourite mystery spirit,and the appearance of the gaoler with the keys to the cobwebbed vaults of CQD,things are almost quite busy again here!
Praise be; and thanks to Alex for persevering with this board. [tup]

Yes indeed.....thanks Alex for giving us a home.......but still there must be a ? hanging over this forums future.

What if there is a forum at Stina's official site?

What if the CQD forum was to be re-activated on a permanent basis?

All we need is for the 'Barbie-Board' to reappear and we really would be at a crossroads,not knowing which way to turn.

Hmm,I wonder if the reppearance of Vero might mean the reopening of the forum at CQD while the new .com site will just be the official site without forum? or vice versa?
Just a thought.
I may be wrong but I always felt that we wanted this forum here as a stopgap until something official reappeared.Alex?

I don't think we'll ever see the BarbieBoard again (corporate mentality being what it is) -but for a bit of nostalgia,have a looksee here:-

sounds like Desmond from "Lost" (watching the latest episode tonight )

Should we rename this thread ....The Not So Busy Board ?

The database server was too busy earlier so the website may have been offline during some time today...

....but what about yesterday and the day before that and...... etc?

Yep,it blanked out at one juncture (the juncture when I was trying to get on) today.

We should invite Stina and/or Veronique to make a regular monthly posting to up the excitement level for a couple of days. It was fun while it lasted,even though it was the same old regulars...

How about the occasionally busy when people can be arsed board.

I was thinking about this last night and I came up with the idea of making a designated 'argument thread' - one where anyone can post outrageous or controversial opinions, serious or funny (hopefully a good mixture of both), and everyone else can jump in and we all have a massive daily scrap that will make us think and laugh in equal measure. We used to have some really good discussion over on CQD, and I'm sure the frequent scraps between Spook and I, and latterly Coral, made people laugh as well as want to punch the screen.

You could expand it too, people could ask questions that bug them, or raise topics they want to know more about. I dunno, just an idea.

So long as it's in good humour.Those old CQD arguments used to frighten me sometimes with the intensity of the battles.I can't take anything seriously for too long.The stuff with Coral was mostly baffling.I think she was/is a young woman trying to find a few reasons and meanings,and good luck to her.

What's more,most of us don't have the erudition to put our arguments very convincingly and/or don't shout loud enough,figuratively.


Anyway, a subject I want to know more about is....Stina Nordenstam [rolling]

Hmm. Yes. I'd forgotten what faint hearts inhabit these parts.

Never mind.


*watches tumbleweed drift by*

I do enough arguing at home

I was thinking more of the comic potential than the argument potential, to be honest. But then previous experience has shown that humour isn't top of the priority list with many folk here, either.
