I understand.

I was in another thread and the we almost lost the thread. We were very lucky to hold on to it, and that thread had some advantages this one does not have. I can't say much about it, nor do I wish to, but we in this thread we need to be very careful about developing a reputation as a gang. The Mods are fair people, and doing a thankless job, but they have to keep the Forum as free of drama as they can.

I agree with your point wholeheartedly. If a bunch of us run to a thread to offer support to a newbie, no one is gonna have an issue with that.

I know this much; The entire time I have known The Ocelot, I have never known her to post in any single thread so frequently as this one. She may well have and I am unaware of it. I am glad to know I can come here to find her. I won't speak for her, but I suspect she comes here because she likes this group.

I know I like it a lot. (Note: NOT ALOT) I would miss it if we lost it. That is the only reason I bring this up.

It is kind of a home thread to me, I would hate to lose this thread also. I like the people on this thread and feel we have developed a unique online friendship here, I enjoy seeing the rest of you on other threads. We may have went overboard in some of the threads, so hopefully we can tone it down and keep this thread active. I guess we will have to stop poking people with sticks, regardless of whether they deserve it or not. We are a varied bunch, but somehow we seem to get along fairly well together.

Myrany, I copied the Banana cream recipe and ordered the ingredients, I am going to give this a try, sounds good.

I again apologize to you all. I can be a passive-agressive instigator when I'm bored. I will endeavor to keep more balls of yarn within reach - oh no, wait! I shall be learning the mysteries of squonking soon.

I can't blame you for my own actions, and I bet you will master the fine art of squonking in no time. I think I am going to miss our little merry bands group stick poking, sigh.

since i always seem to be contrary.....(owning it)......
sometimes i post in threads i see posted here and sometimes i don't....i end up in the same threads as a lot of the ppl in this thread just because they are in my "new posts" search and look interesting/entertaining....
just so happens that regardless of our animal affiliation, location, gender, mod choice....it isn't surprising to me that we end up in the same threads without a "call to action".....

if we are a "gang" and post in threads just because someone posted it in this thread...that is being sheep.
I am my own burger.

I think that "we" forget that this is not our own private little idaho...everyone registered can see everything written here and it does show up in new post, keyword searches, and friend activity.

I think it depends on the light we are casting on it. FOr example the thread I posted for Ocelot to look at is a very positive thread with a very positive shout out to our kitty. I don't see the mods having a problem with a bunch of us posting in it if we are being positive.

The group thread-chase started out as supporting those that wanted to use cig-a-likes. NOT beating people up. Let's remember the positive times...

There's a lot of positive things here too.

Just avoid the negativity and sarcasm. Easy. ;)

Oh, Princess, do NOT forget that we, the Protectors of the Squonk, are a very misunderstood lot. It's a noble charge, but no bed of roses -

Like father like son
Not flesh nor fish nor bone
A red rag hangs from an open mouth.
Alive at both ends but a little dead in the middle,
A-tumbling and a-bumbling he will go.
All the King's horses and all the King's men
Could never put a smile on that face.

He's a sly one, he's a shy one
Wouldn't you be too.
Scared to be left all on his own.
Hasn't a, hasn't a friend to play with, the Ugly Duckling
The pressure on, the bubble will burst before our eyes.
All the while in perfect time
His tears are falling on the ground
BUT IF YOU DON'T STAND UP YOU DON'T STAND A CHANCE.

Go a little faster now, you might get there in time.

Mirror mirror on the wall,
His heart was broken long before he ever came to you.
Stop your tears from falling,
The trail they leave is very clear for all to see at night
all to see at night.
THEY COME AT NIGHT!

In season, out of season
What's the difference when you don't know the reason.
In one hand bread, the other a stone.
The Hunter enters the forest.
All are not huntsmen who can blow the huntsman's horn
By the look of this one you've not got much to fear.

Here I am, I'm very fierce and frightening
Come to match my skill to yours.
Now listen here, listen to me, don't you run away now
I am a friend, I'd really like to play with you.
Making noises my little furry friend would make
I'll trick him, then I'll kick him into my sack.
You better watch out... You better watch out.

I've got you, I've got you, you'll never get away.

Walking home that night
The sack across my back, the sound of sobbing on my shoulder.
When suddenly it stopped,
I opened up the sack, all that I had
A pool of bubbles and tears - JUST A POOL OF TEARS.

All in all you are a very dying race
Placing trust upon a cruel world.
You never had the things you thought you should have had
And you'll not get them now,
And all the while in perfect time
Your tears are falling on the ground.




You shall master the Squonk in no time (those who don't dissolve into a pool of tears). Some of our insignia -

Squonk-logo---01-B.jpg

squonk-a_b.jpg


The Squonk only is what you make it. And you will make it glorious!

That mod you have coming to you is just beautiful...fit for a Princess, without a doubt. You're sure to love it to bits!

Um, I haven't caught up on all of the opinions about our warning AT ALL, but I'm of a slightly differing opinion, it seems. We can surely poke a few sticks still with indemnity. The mods have nothing against rants or vents. I spend much more time in the OUTSIDE! than any of you, and nothing here even comes close to comparing with the content of those threads. I think we got reported by one person, and I'm quite confident I know which one (actually a friend, I think). That's what calls their attention to any given thread the HUGE majority of the time (not obsessive surveillance). No problem with highlighting the trainwreck threads...I've been in SO many threads where folks do just that without any trouble. A specific name was named here; I knew that was not advisable, and I should've said as much at the time. Sorry to interrupt with my :2c:, but I'm a little slaphappy that Princess P has joined our ranks:vapor:.

ETA - Avoid the sarcasm, Atty?! What in the world are you talking about? No one has ever gotten an infraction for sarcasm. Naming a person along with personal attacks? Most def. Sarcasm and snark? Not so much.

I bow to you and humbly request tutelage. I hath been reading the ancient text of Reo regarding the preference of atty vs carto, do you have a personal favorite?

Anything with the word "Blossom" in the title screams of perfume....

I agree with Becks. AND I agree with Lion. I don't think we should completely stop the sarcasm and fun, we just need to keep it more on the "down low." Some people get testy. I would hate to lose our ranting and informative thread, but on the other hand, I don't want us to puke rainbows, either. I am sure we can continue on straddling a fine line here in the caves. We just have to remain mindful and aware. We can use PM notifications if we REALLY want to know. Oblique references should still be allowed. Most of us can figure it out with minimal detective work.

Ocelot, our "Star," you are not the only one, my friend. My fingers have a mind of their own, and I need to learn how to EDIT, EDIT and delete.

Everyone in this thread is valuable and fun and interesting.

Now, back to my FT EVOD...

I LOVE IT. No leaking (yet) and I like how it fills and that it doesn't leak from the top. This is the first BCC I have tried and I will be getting more.

It is time for me to consider expanding my repertoire from eGos (I have over 20, now) and I just don't know what I want...I know what I DON'T want. The botto feeders are looking swell, but I hate cartos. I don't want anything "manly" or ungainly. I hate to fiddle. I need to keep looking...

Oh, the ancient REO runes are the ones to trust. The modern apocrypha will lead you only to RBAs (specifically King Rob's REOmizer 2.0). These mini cartos seems to have been made for the Squonk - http://www.reosmods.com/index.php?p...category_id=20&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=3. Easy Squonk, and you're back in business every time until it's just run its course. Then your trusty trash can clean-up method comes into play. I'm sure you already have some Cisco Spec lr attys (some love the 306 with REOs; I stick with 510s), and they work great. These are almost as good and less expensive - Empiremods Bridge Free LR510 1.8ohm. Many will tell you to shell out the $ for the HH.357, but I'm not one of them. Many apologies that I haven't confirmed it, but that wooden block of wonder is a fixed 3.7v mod, right? So many REOnauts are on my back to move on to RBAs, and this is my answer -

Oh, more feline false modesty there. No facepaw in order, but I'm just about positive I'm right on my guess.

Apologies in advance to all for lag time in responding to stuff. My computer is sputtering out and just working at a SNAIL'S pace:p.

Just get a Provari.


Ooops. :lol:


Evods don't generally work a Vamo, but Protanks are great. The problem with the Evods is that they really were designed mostly for Ego type devices. Something you you might have to keep in mind if you want to stay with them.

You might take a peek at The Ocelot's collection - Vamo, Prothingy, Zmax, Bobo, and now a woody soon to arrive. You might need to dress most of them up a bit.
