The unofficial "Ask the Adminstrator" thread: Ask away

[LynneSin]

Since we no longer have the forum, I figured we could just start our own thread and you could post the questions that you would have asked if the ATA forum was still around.

Please no sex threads or I'll withhold the Swedish Fish

[matcom]

1. how do i post a pic?

[LynneSin]

3. That is just WRONG on so many levels

:eyes:

[yardwork]

8. I agree. White tights are wrong with burgundy velvet

The ensemble requires fuschia tights.

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. Words fail me

[Goathead]

14. LOL! Randy!

Randy you friggin' rock!

[kick-ass-bob]

2. Why doesn't anyone want to rent my sig space?

It gets a lot of exposure - does no one have candy?

[LynneSin]

5. You don't really discuss the benefits of renting

but if I give you some gumdrops would you put a lil cowbell in it?

[kick-ass-bob]

6. oooooh, gumdrops.

[LynneSin]

13. mmmmm.... more cowbell

can never have enough cowbell!

[Hugin]

7. Uh, umm... This is my first unofficial Admin question...

Do DU elites have a special avatar?

[LynneSin]

9. No but only elite DUers can see this special peanut logo

[kick-ass-bob]

10. hahahaha!

Yes.
They are invisible to non-elites.

[Dora]

11. Why am I a threadkiller?

[LynneSin]

12. Do you specifially post only in the loser pathetic threads

:shrug:

[Dora]

102. born a loser, I guess.

Sheesh.

"loser pathetic threads," huh? So were you popular in high school and still haven't gotten over it, or were you unpopular and trying to make up for it now?

I guess the Lounge really is about popularity. I think I'll keep trolling for entertainment but keep my remarks to a minimum.

[RevolutionaryActs]

15. What does "eom" and "nt" mean?

[LynneSin]

17. End of Message and hell if I know what n/t stands for...n/t

[RevolutionaryActs]

[kick-ass-bob]

[Goathead]

16. I have an ingrown toe nail, can I have some Swedish fish?

[LynneSin]

21. I'm out of swedish fish, will tootsie rolls do

[Goathead]

26. I guess...

[Misunderestimator]

18. I am appalled!

Having lurked here for years (but coincidentally having joined only today), I find I am sickened by what I read here. Please cancel my (non-existent) donation.

[kick-ass-bob]

22. have some cowbell.

[Misunderestimator]

24. How dare you answer me in such a tone...

I have your dog...

[kick-ass-bob]

32. I'm locking this now.

There's really no point to go any further.

[LynneSin]

33. that's it, I'm locking you

:eyes:

[kick-ass-bob]

[RevolutionaryActs]

:rofl:

[LynneSin]

25. PMS?

[Misunderestimator]

27. Yummmmm

[LynneSin]

30. Don't you know, all the women on DU cycle together

don't hog the Pamprin bitch!

:eyes:

[crispini]

28. Why did my post get deleted?

[LynneSin]

31. because you asked me a dumbass question about your posting being deleted

sometimes we must look into ourselves to understand why things mysteriously disappear

[crispini]

34. I am offended.

I think the moderators are enforcing things unfairly for people who have Swedish Fish in their avatar. Does this board have a prejudice against Swedish Fish lovers?

[LynneSin]

37. tighten that tinfoil hat just a little bit more

[crispini]

39. Hahahahaha!

Great pic!

[kick-ass-bob]

38. I just wanted to drop in and say

Great job! :*

[ScreamingMeemie]

40. See? Told ya you should have gone with kiss-ass-bob.

:evilgrin:

[kick-ass-bob]

43. yes, I will cancel your account now.

:grr:

[ScreamingMeemie]

41. Why is LynneSin an Eagles fan?

:shrug: I just don't get it...

[LynneSin]

47. Because only losers and sickos would cheer on Brett Farve & the packers

:eyes:

[ScreamingMeemie]

53. Why is LynneSin so misguided and sarcastic all the time...

:shrug:

[kick-ass-bob]

71. she's having a rough day.

cut her some slack. and send her a beer.

[Zuni]

86. Some people are born a little slow

[Anarcho-Socialist]

44. Why are you and the mods out to get me...

...I post a reasonable thread criticizing the mods as crazed-whackjob, trigger-happy, long-haired hippies and it gets LOCKED?!!!!

[LynneSin]

51. Because I'm not on your crush list

and therefore you must be crushed

[flvegan]

46. Can you lock this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=3132615&mesg_id=3132615&page=

It's completely irrelevant, and will likely erode to a flamefest.

[LynneSin]

50. No. Got a problem - put it in the suggestion box

[Hugin]

48. HOW MENNY POZTS DOES I MAKE BEFORE EYE CAN START THREAD

I HAVE LOTS OF LIBURL THINGS TO SAY TO DEMOCRAT ON

:bounce: :hi:

[OKNancy]

54. I can't figure out how to post

How do I post in threads?

[LynneSin]

57. Go home and star at a wall

there is no hope if you cannot handle the most primitive aspects of this website.

[OKNancy]

68. Gee thanks

that's real helpful.
I'll go "star" at the wall.
But anyway, you are the very best and I still love you and I promise I'm not sucking up to you, because I have no life and I love it here...and you are just the best in the whole world but I know you love other people more than me, but that's okay.

SWAK

[SOteric]

58. This is insane! I demand an immediate answer!

Will you please tell me why you people cannot permanently ban everyone who disagrees with me and put each and everyone of my frivolous posts into some sort of protected Hall of Fame or something?!

Otherwise, I'm taking my whopping $25.00 in annual donations elsewhere.

[LynneSin]

59. I don't think so, you can kiss my big white ass...

And afterwards you'll add an extra $10 to your donation

[SOteric]

61. *L* Do you ever wonder how many times

that very thought crossed Skinner's mind?

[Redstone]

60. Why was this thread locked? Why wasn't this other thread locked?

He's picking on my politics / sexual orientation / grammar / choice of vehicle / state where I live / religion / hairstyle!

Why can't I pick on her politics / sexual orientation / grammar / choice of vehicle / state where I live / religion / hairstyle?

Redstone

[Beer Snob-50]

62. Can we ban cowbells from this forum?

I just want swedish fish.

[LynneSin]

63. My time for running the unofficial Ask the Admin thread is over....

[kick-ass-bob]

65. Hello???

Why aren't you responding???

[LynneSin]

67. Congrats!!!

:D

[kick-ass-bob]

69. whoops.

[sharonking21]

91. I take great umbrage at

your desertion of us poor newbies.

[DS1]

92. You're all lucky I was out

:-)

[kick-ass-bob]

64. In support of Mrs Grumpy

Packers rule!

I demand an apology.

[kick-ass-bob]

72. Since I am now the answerer...

I must respond to myself.

:shrug:

[Hugin]

66. *crichert critchert critchert*

[kick-ass-bob]

73. Is there a question?

[LynneSin]

70. Everyone - the new unofficial admin will now be kick-ass-bob

Please show him the same discourtesy that you showed me

That is all

:D

[sharonking21]

74. I just want to ask . ..

do the administrators have a conspiracy against conspiracy theorists?

And why does my car make that funny "bump" noise when I run over supporters of potential 2008 Presidential candidates other than my own?

Is there a relationship on this board between between athletic supporters and Presidential candidate supporters?

What does F*CK stand for?

Is it true that Skinner wears Spongebob Squarepants underwear? I mean I heard he wears (Clark, Dean, Edwards, Clinton, Kerry, Gore, etc) skivvies but someone else told me he wears Boxer shorts???

[kick-ass-bob]

75. don't worry about it. have some swedish fish.

[NoPasaran]

76. Does this thread

Make my butt look big?

[sharonking21]

79. Only when you bend over.

}(

[ScooterTramp]

77. Erm, when is it my turn to be the most popular girl in the Lounge?

[sharonking21]

78. You know, I joined this dump when I thought

it was an actual resistance movement! Do I actually have to donate before I get my gun?

[Hugin]

80. I was wondering the same thing.

YEAH!

Lock and load dudes!

Let's Roll!

[NoPasaran]

81. At 1000 posts

You're issued your beret and black turtleneck

[sharonking21]

85. Making do . .

[BlueJazz]

82. Got a Question for you....

If I go to "Search" I'll see something like "The DU lounge" (Protected)

What does the "Protected" mean?

(If you answer "It's wearing a Condum", I'll get you!)

[Stockholm]

83. What´s so Swedish about that fish?

[sundog]

84. my appoligies to admin

my recent antics were definately bad, bad, bad :7

[ScooterTramp]

99. I know, it was so out of character for you, but you're a nice person...

Now, can you make up something nice about me?

[yvr girl]

87. I stole a little souvenir from Boston

and now I'm riddled with guilt. What should I do?

[Zuni]

88. did you knock over a liquor store again?

[crispini]

89. I'd like to propose a DU group

for Left-Handed Kuchinich Loving Vegetarian Authors. Can I do that?

[sharonking21]

90. And can we have a

Planning to Plan forum?

[ScooterTramp]

93. I'd join if I were Left-Handed Kuchinich Loving Vegetarian or an Author!

[ScooterTramp]

94. I demand a DU group for all ~my~ adoring groupies!

[MrSandman]

95. Why was this thread locked...

But not this one...

[youthere]

97. All the moderators hate me!

Is it because I smell like Swedish fish?

[ScooterTramp]

98. Yuk, is that you?

[fortyfeetunder]

100. I never posted to ATA...

Or even read a post...What did I exactly miss?

[sleipnir]

101. You guys are doing a kick ass job!

And I'm just a loser for posting this type of sentiment in the ATA. Amazing how many really did. As if the Admins needed any reminding that they'd have to kick some ass during the primaries/election day/president's day, etc
