Snypiuer

HOLY CRIMENY'S! I THINK I know what she's talking about! I believe you're talking about the 'Filter', it used to be at the bottom, center of a forum. It's now at the top of a Forum, in the bar just under the page number (Page 1 of xx NEXT >>) on the left and, like Kat posted, the post New Topic button on the right - I see the links on the left side of the bar. Looks like: Recently Updated Start Date Most Replies Most Viewed Custom If you press the 'Custom' link, you SHOULD get what you want - that is, IF I really do know what you're talking about!

20 Euro turns into $26 and change US. Our PayPal is at $65 and change. I GOT'S ME DA' GUILTS! For not being as active as I should be and will cover what ever we're short - just have to wait for next month to see what the damage will be! It's due around the first week of next month and I did get the donation button up (top left side of site) for anyone that wants to add to our account - and, you know, help a brother out *Snypiuer shuffles around, broken cup in hand* "Alms for the poor! Alms for the poor!"

ATTENTION: WE HATE EYES AND HAVE, THUS, DECLARED WAR UPON THEM! LOOK UPON OUR EYE-HURTING SKINS AND TREMBLE!! I'll go in and make sure they are set to be viewed by all. They may have been set for only certain people to see while they were being worked on. I think they're done enough to be seen by all (we can always change them back if they need more work).

We have our license due in December $160. Last I checked, our PayPal account had about $20 or so. I need to figure out how I put the PayPal Link on before, but donations can be made at PayPal to: donations@themightypen.net don't click on that, you need to go to PayPal and type it in. Other than that, how do you guys like the new skins? Give us some suggestions on what YOU want to see and how we can make the site look better! And why not post while you're here?

O.K., I played with the Visual editor and changed EVERYTHING it would allow me to. Anything that is white, grey, light blue or green - I was unable tho change. As you can see, there are no images or anything with shade variations - which means I'll need to go into the CSS and find what each and every bit of code matches. I would use the stuff I put together for the 3.1.x version, but too much has changed (from what I can tell). Anyone who wants to do a skin using the Visual Editor (and has access to the AdminCP), is more than welcome to do so. It will be a while until I have a Tan skin back up. Go ahead and post any suggestions, images, etc. that you would like and I'll put something together as soon as I can figure everything out. Oh yeah, go to the very bottom of the page and on the left, you'll see 'Change Theme', click on that and you see 'simpleRED' - like it implies, it's just a simple color change I did to see what can be done. It didn't take that long at all.

They say that Love is never having to say "I'm sorry". Well, all of you must think I hate each and every one of you, with the way I'm CONSTANTLY having to apologize for not keeping up with the updates. You can rest assured that I, at least, Huggles you all! There's been quite a bit of activity since the last update, so I'll do my best to cover it all! We're seeing some Pennites that we haven't seen in a while, like Katzaniel who has posted some great stuff to help motivate everyone: The Labyrinth: A structured roll playing game for anyone wanting to play! NaNoWriMo: We all know this one - and should be doing it! Writing Exercises - The No-Reading Thread: Get your writing muscles in shape! Writing Exercises - Inspiration: Cardio for your Muse! So get that Muse of yours' off the couch and get it in shape! TheOtherOne - A reincarnation of a Pennite from long ago, checked-in and also gave us:Hope for Dawn Zadown has added to 500: IF, you have not read this. . . GO! NOW! READ THESE WORDS! FOR TONIGHT, WE DINE IN HELL! Blondemoon checked-in. As well as, Alaeha. Brute has been. . . BRRUUUUTTTE!!! (Sorry, involuntary reaction!). . . seen about the Keep - hunt him down and buy him a drink! And then there's those who appear more frequently: Zool has fallen out of his dusty old frame and has been seen roaming the Keep - see if you can find him! Appy has been seen bouncing around - APPY! APPY! JOY! JOY! James Crow finished the 100 Poems in 100 Days Challenge (2 shirts are still available for anyone wanting to take a shot at it!), then gave us the beginning of The Weatherman - read it and then join me in harassing him until he finishes it! WritingMom gave us Addiction...Or is it? a possible beginning of a very thought provoking story. Harmony has given us: Connoisseur of Air: Breath it in. . . exhale. Rollin' Poem: Hit the highway, then head on home. Heart Attack: CLEAR!!! She told us a little about herself: Harmony Aethenias Echoe. And added to the library stacks in Longitudes of Avinarr. Get in tune and read them all! That Raven at the window is Cryptomancer, why not Tweet along with him? Freya Baranfinnel Sinome Rae Maethe gave us: Apocalypse: Take comfort when it's over. Those Who follow After: Then again, it looks like the freaking cats take over! Here kitty, kitty! Then spread a blanket and revel in the memories Of College Movie Nights. THERE! I believe I've covered it all! I apologize for anyone or anything I've missed. Finally, Version 3.2.3 of IP Boards is out and I will be having them update us to it. This means the skins will most likely no longer work, which means I'll have something to do. There is a skin generator added to this version that SHOULD make it easier and anyone with access to the Admin CP is ALWAYS encouraged to try their hand at making a skin! That's about it! Oh yeah. . . POST!!!

I drove a big rig for 9 years, been to all lower 48 states, Canada and Mexico, averaged 5 WEEKS a year at home. I LIKE this one - it FEELS right.

Taking an ENORMOUS amount of dollar coins to a strip club and 'Making it Hail' - NOT as good an idea as one may think. In fact, it's frowned upon - really, REALLY frowned upon. . . a LOT. . . like, to the point of physical retaliation. DO NOT ask how I know this, just accept it as fact!

Inspiring and reflective - a time capsule of a moment of youth. I can actually smell the grass and feel the rain as I read this. Thank you.

YES! This started me thinking of so many different ways this story could go! Don't want to say any of them, because i want to see where you take it. Just have to say 'Blade Runner' came to mind for some reason. Keep it going!

Sorry haven't gotten to this sooner! As to the addiction, I personally saw it as the young mans' addiction to her - or, at least, the situation he was in. Hope you continue it!

I KNEW the frickin' cats would take over - you can see it in their beady little eyes! Well, they'll be in for a 'what-have-you' when Louie, the freakishly overlarge, mutant, bearded cockroach, leads a rag-tag bunch of scrappy Beagle/Saint Bernard mixes in an uprising against them, in an effort to genetically engineer a new human race from the secretly saved fertilized embryos of one Delores Mildrid Piffle - spinster and collector of dust bunnies that resemble 1970's Blackploitation movie stars (her Richard Roundtree 'Shaft Menagerie' was considered the epitome of celebrity look-a-like dust bunny collections). Another great poem!

You are OBVIOUSLY surrounded by individuals with a collective IQ slightly lower than that of mineral deficient dirt, if my inadequate attempt to complement your work is one of the nicest anyone has ever said! You should take advantage of this and begin by IMMEDIATELY subjugating all those within a 10 mile radius!

If THIS is what boredom does to you, I'm SERIOUSLY thinking of hunting you down and locking you in a tiny room with nothing but a typewriter and a tiny slot in the door for you to slide your writing through ! Thanks and. . . GIVE ME MORE!

My legs are sore! Very few people can write with such imagery - thanks for being you !

I like the concept behind the story so far. I agree with Harmony (A MUCH better authority than I when it comes to structure - one of MANY here at the Pen! I'm working on my critiquing skills, so PLEASE don't put too much stock in it ), but I can't decide WHICH point of view the story should actually be told from - IS the young man the main character or is he actually just a narrator? WHO is the story REALLY about? In other words, is the story about him, her or both of them? Will we be invested in him as the main character? Will he end up as nothing more than a bit player in HER life? Or will the story be about both - perhaps shifting from one to the other? It will be interesting to see how it unfolds and I look forward to finding out!

Been meaning to say how much I like this, *Snypiuer takes out a measuring tape and stretches it as far as it will go. Stands back and judges the length. Shortens it ONE notch. Stands back and studies it again. Nods head in satisfaction. Rolls tape back up and puts it back in his pocket.* I like it a LOT! Now, in keeping with my new found desire to improve my critiquing skills, I was a bit confused with the time line in the first post. Figured it out after a couple of re-reads though. Can't wait to read more!

Hi. I know, I know, I've been derelict in my duties AGAIN! I'm just COMPLETELY brain dead right now. I've been playing the current version of what was Archmage - where I'm getting ABUSED! So, if you want to come and join in on using me as a punching bag (look for 'Snype' on Blitz and Solo), it's at: The-Reincarnation I'm hoping I'll get SOME of the old inspiration to do ANYTHING. I'm not burnt out, I'm just. . . I don't know. I've been reading what has been posted by Harmony, James, Freyjis, Freya, EVERYONE on the Word Association thread and whoever I am remiss in failing to mention (due to my personal malaise) and all I can think is, "What am I doing?". These people are not only posting, they're posting some REALLY good stuff - while I can't even seem to do more then check in. I DO see a small bit of sunshine on the horizon. There is a new IP Boards version out: Version 3.2.1 Version 3.2.0 just came out a couple weeks ago and 3.2.1 is already out, so I'm thinking we should wait to upgrade until it's less buggy and the bug fixes aren't coming in so quickly. It has some pretty cool stuff and I'll have to redo ALL the skins (SOMETHING FOR ME TO DO!!!), but it has a built in skin generator (basic things: color schemes, backgrounds, header, etc.) that will make it a LOT easier to build on (still need to learn how to do more technical changes). The IP Boards site is running it. So, if you want to, you can check it out at: IP Boards I'll TRY to get my act together. . .

WOW!!! An astounding achievement! Well done! I could go on and on! Actually, anything I say can't do justice to what you have achieved - SO, I've PM'd you about the FREE MIGHTY PEN T-SHIRT you have more than earned and letting EVERYONE know that there are STILL two shirts that they can try for! AGAIN, congratulations - when I grow up, I want to be just like you! P.S. Where are the stories !?

Another great story. I'm REALLY starting to get upset that you don't write more! Only problem I saw was in the first line: It should be 'hole'. I'm TRYING to improve my critiquing skills beyond "Me like" and "Me no like", so THAT'S my attempt at constructive criticism (Appy is a MUCH better authority than I when it comes to story structure - so I KNOW how pathetic my attempt is, next to hers )! Oh yeah. . . WRITE MORE BEFORE I'M FORCED TO CALL OUT THE WET NOODLE SQUAD!!!

Snypiuer's STANDARD greeting before opening front door to strangers: "If you're here to sell me something, convert me or bother me with questions - there's a VERY good chance I'm going to accidentally shoot you several times while cleaning my single shot shotgun." When they call Snypiuer, he begins polling THEM (when it's not automated): Pollster: "Hi, I'm calling from (insert organization name here). Would you be willing to take a brief survey today?" Snypiuer: "WOULD I!? I've been waiting ALL DAY for your call!" Pollster: "Umm. . . O.K.?" Snypiuer: *Before THEY can start* "First, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being 'PLEASE beat me to death with my own foot' and 10 being 'I'm so happy I'm doing back flips WHILE urinating myself', how do you rate your job?" Pollster: "Excuse me?!" Snypiuer: "I'll put your answer down as 'Purple'. Now, how many times a day do you curl up in a ball and weep uncontrollably OR throw cats at random neighborhood children? Tell you what, I'll just put down you answered 'Foofie', you still there?" You have NO idea how much Snypiuer WISHES they were still there!

No, planned on leaving it open so that whenever anyone gets inspired, they can add to it.

While everyone in the room was startled by Jennifer West's entry and order to leave her alone with him, no one was more startled than Torben. He stared at her, slack-jawed, as she sat down across from him, opened her brief case and started to say, "Now, Mr. Amundsen. . . " That's as far as she got when Torben reached out his hand to touch hers as he softly asked, with a look of utter surprise, "Jen?!" She froze at the way he said it - he KNEW her. The way he said it gave her no doubt that that was an absolute fact. Her mind raced as she tried to remember if she had ever met him and she stammered, "How. . . how did you know my name? Have we ever met?" A look of disbelief came over his face as he said, "Jen, don't you know me?!" She replied, "I don't believe we've ever met. I was told you are Torben Amundsen and you were in need of Council. I have no idea who you are beyond that." While she appeared to be calm, she was starting to get very worried. Torben could see every slight, infinitesimal tightening of her features and knew she was starting to get nervous - despite her outward calm. He pushed back from the table and stood, saying in a loud voice - rising to a shout, "I have no idea IF I am Torben Amundsen! I have NO idea WHAT is going on! All I KNOW is that YOU are Jennifer West and we've been together for fifteen years!" Jennifer sat in shock as the door burst open and several men in Military uniform came in, followed by the psychiatrist and small, petite woman with the horn rimmed glasses. The woman calmly said, "This is getting out of hand. Get both of them and let's go." Both the police psychiatrist and Inspector spoke up: Psychiatrist (Hesitantly): "This man is under MY care!" Inspector: "There's no way you're taking this man, he's under MY jurisdiction!" The small woman said to the Inspector, "Answer your phone." - a second before his cell phone rang. He answered, "Hello?. . . How did you get this number?. . . Who are. . . Yes. . . YES. . . I see. . . my SINCEREST apologies. . . YES. . . IMMEDIATELY!" His face had drained of all color as he said to the psychiatrist, "It's out of our hands." Turning to the small woman, he said, "I'm sorry." and moved to let them go. Torben caught sight of the Inspector's warning look as he motioned the psychiatrist to step aside - neither one of them could look Torben or Jennifer in the eyes as they were led from the room.
