So what does "Hi, Opal" mean on these boards?

This should be in the agreement thing before members join.

Or if ever there was a need for a sticky…(hint,hint mods )

I have used it myself in the relatively short time that I’ve been posting here. I didn’t know that the practice was being discouraged. I guess I used it in a effort to “Fit in”. I shall endeavor not to do this again. My apoligies to Opal if she’s reading this if I’ve irritated her.

There’s no reason to apologize to anyone. It’s just a bit outdated. With new members constantly joining, there’s always going to be some echoing of the practice. We can only hope it’ll finally fade into the distance!

One of the main reasons Opal says she doesn’t like it is because it makes vanity searches a right bitch to perform, because so many results turn up.

Tell her to try sharing a name with Cisco Systems and San Francisco. I hope no one ever wants to get my attention here because I long ago abandoned even the occasional vanity-search-for-fun.

I could’ve sworn somebody made a thread that detailed all the “inside” jokes. Having said that, I feel like it may be my duty to go look for it. Good thing I never let a little thing like duty push me around.

I even know the story behind the 1920’s Death Ray.

I’ll bite. What’s the story behind the death ray?

** Internal Doper Memo: **

In the future, all 3 point lists should read:

1. Whatever
2. Whatever Ditto
3. Shirley Rawks!
   Thank you for your attention in this matter.

@Shirley Ujest

3. Shirley Rawks!

So, is Rawks your middle name or your maiden name?

This one’s a good start: What is "Hi Opal, I burn your dog, 1920’S style death rays?

It should also be pointed out that many (MANY!) people on the board (including OpalCat herself) are very much against the continued practice of it, for various reasons.

1. People tend to use it in lists longer than 2 items, which makes it extraneous.
2. It has become extremely old and tired. All things must pass, let this one go as well.

Ironic that there’s no third item in this list.
