Hello! Think back to a time… a time when your days were described in 4 numbers and your minutes up to the thousands. Remember the elementals roaming through the land as TSOTL hurls a bolt of lightening your way. Reminisce about Paz Clafi, and numerous attacks. A hurl here, and demote there, a reduce and a drain, coupled by a banish and a kamikaze to go. :smack: I thought I would venture over here because many of my clan memebers came from this site. If any of this mumble jumble above sounds familiar, come over to the virtual pyroto reunion at [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pyrotoreunion/](http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pyrotoreunion/) . We’re looking for a few good wizards, better known as Bricker, UPSMan, Falc, Rhiannon, and the many other wizards who made up The Teeming Millions on a distant land called Pyroto. Please forgive if I’ve forgotten to mention you. Had any good Soup lately? ~YT ---

Bricker might disagree that Pyroto is a pointless, mundane topic, but I digress. ---

BTW, Gaudere, can you please send a PM to Bricker for me to have him contact me. I’m not a member yet, so I am unable to so. I’d be much obliged if you’d grant my request. 🙂 Thank you, ~A YT Tiger lurking in the meadows > [@Gaudere](#): > > [Moderator Hat ON] > > This should be in MPSIMS, and ONLY MPSIMS.

Also, is it customary on this message board for you to address newbies with jargon that they may not be familiar with? MPSIMS- My Poor Soul is Missing Spirit… or is this an abbreviation for Moderator PMS? Wasn’t it instructed in the forum I posted to that it was the place to put practice posts? This was my first post.

Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share is the name of this forum and in addition to this thread being better suited to it than one for questions about the workings of the message board, it’s also more likely **Bricker** would stumble across it here. No Mod PMS above. If, and I’m just guessing, **Gaudere** had to “remove your other threads”, it’s simply because posting like threads across different forums is discouraged here. With them deleted I’m again just guessing that’s what happened. **Gaudere** is, however, decidedly a peach. ---

> [@](#): > > Quite a rude welcoming committee you are Gaudere It might have something to do placing a copy of your OP in multiple forums. If you’d taken a moment to read the registration agreement, you’d have noticed it explicitly forbids such behavior. Here, and pretty much everywhere else on the 'Net, this is called “spamming.” > [@](#): > > Also, is it customary on this message board for you to address newbies with jargon that they may not be familiar with? This term is defined right on the front page for the forums. It is hardly unreasonable to expected that when someone shows up here and posts for the first time, they’d take a moment to read the forum descriptions so they’d know the proper place to put their post. But again, you were in the process of spamming us, so I guess those descriptions mattered not to you anyway. > [@](#): > > Wasn’t it instructed in the forum I posted to that it was the place to put practice posts? This was my first post. Please enlighten me, as your action is contradictory to what the instructions for the message board is. You’re being disingenuous. Need I repeat, a third time, that you were in the process of apparently placing your message in **each** of our nine forums. So saying that you were following the forum description for ATMB (About This Message Board) is a pale justification. > [@](#): > > YT Tiger getting a bit miffed Wah! ---

I cannot PM Bricker, we do not have private messaging set up. I can email him, however. I removed your other threads since more than one thread on the exact same subject in a forum is considered spamming. I did not realize the ATMB thread was a practice post. ---

> [@ZebraShaSha](#): > > What the hell? Bricker is a wizard? Shhhhhhhhhh! Oh, yes, a mighty fine wizard! Do you mean to tell me Bricker is holding out on everyone here? He can cast spells that will send you to good places, and if you’re bad, watch out… he’ll banish you! He was a powerful pinnacle wizard and he only got banished once! (Or was it twice?) He was the legal council wizard if I remember correctly. Or, was it the politics glutton? Naw, that was some other wizard. ~YT Tiger revealing things I shouldn’t ---

If one didn’t know what TSOTL was, he was in big trouble. If only Pyroto would return! Then I could invite you all there to take over a mountain and introduce you to TSOTL and start another war. I know you would have loved it! ~YT Tiger ---
