I’m glad this thread was started. I kept seeing these strange ads for the Giraffe Board, and I admit I was scared to click on them. Never know where the google ads will lead. . . ---

I have to say that if the IM-like stream of one-liners in this thread is typical Giraffe board behavior I am not likely to visit, much less stay. Whether that’s viewed with sadness, indifference, or glee is up to you. ---

My current Google ads: Are You Ready For Help? And: The Snackpit. I feel the Universe is trying to tell me something. Or not. I’m suddenly craving tortilla chips, that may or may not be relevant. ---

This thread is like a little piece of Giraffe Boards, transplanted over here. I gave it a try, but there really isn’t much difference between Giraffe Boards and the Snackpit. ---
