Ah yes, changing of mind wasn't it!
You complaining like?

Never Binger, you know better. Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
I say give us a week to prepare, and settle a sqaud for the mission. This way we can have a minimum of six to eight start posting at one time to get it started right!
What do you guys say?
BTW EDE, loved your posts on the tag threads! Add more please!

Yay!!!!! Road Trip Count me in!!!!!!
Posted by Vee on :
Perhaps an explanation of what we do on a roadtrip would be helpful for us newbies.

A couple of months back, during one of the periods when Legion World was down, Lash, Teeds, and I filled the DCMBs up with three pages of zany Legion topics in about an hour!

I'm all for it but DCMB Border Patrol has refused me entry. So have fun guys!
Posted by Crujectra on :
Not to be all adult and stuff, but might I suggest that anyone that goes on this trip uses a small amount of self-control when posting these topics? Don't give Rob any reason to delete the threads, or else it will sort of defeat the purpose.
I would leave the Emerald Ass of Ekron home, for instance
Oh, and adding the Legion World URL to your signature might not be a bad idea. A little free advertising without advertising, y'know?
Posted by Almost But Not Quite New Kid on :
Ummm... P.C. are you advising us to be P.C.?
Sorry, I know it childish, but I couldn't resist!
Free KOKO and Jinx!

The links already in my signature there! I'm going to suggest either Monday or Tuesday night, to spark activity on the boards right before the release of the new issue (when presumably a number of people will be visiting the board).
Confirmed participants:
1. EDE 2. Cobie 3. Icey

Basically, it's just a postathon on another board. The goal (of this type of road trip at least) is to start a large number of interesting or silly topics, to show people how much more fun they could be having on our board rather than the main DCMBs. We try to avoid doing anything genuinely offensive or simply spamming with offtopic posts, but try to just liven/lighten things up a bit for awhile.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Yeah, I think Monday would be great. Usually, Sunday and Monday are the best nights for me, and then Tuesday during the late afternoon (when I'm between work and class and stuck in the library for a few hours). This could be a good start of the mission.
I agree that we should purposely not be offensive, since we're trying to recruit new LMBPers and find new fun people to talk about the Legion, life and EDE's funny hat. We can always push the envelope, while making sure that nobody is getting offended. Although we should have fun with it, who knows how people joined the LMBP after reading Lardy post about sexual debauchery, pulling things out of peoples asses and other such nonsense . Just keep a good balance of it.
What we should do is look for people who reply to our topics and then start replying to them. Start conversing, and introduce them to Legion World. We all know the drill.

Sounds like fun. Count me in.
If nothing else, we'll all be able to watch Icy gradually get more and more excited from trying valiantly to control his raging hormones (and tongue!) We'll have to all try to make sure he gets back here before he explodes! Posted by icefire on :
Hey I can behave for short amounts of time!
Posted by Semi on :

I doubt that, despite all the big brotherly advice and groundings I given you over the years.

Posted by Semi on :
Well after Ma and Pa disappeared, and I had to raise you all myself, what could I do? At least I never spanked you - even that time you froze my bed just as I was hopping in.
Posted by Nightcrawler on :
I'll try to make it too.
If things go well, maybe I can open us up to the public for the occasion. Here's hoping for a quiet weekend on the net. Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Sounds good guys! I'll be waiting for it. What do you think, start Sunday or Monday? Monday might be better for most I think, but let me know!
Posted by icefire on :
Monday is good for me!!!
Posted by MLLASH on :
I can't deal with the DC board for any length of time, so I'll try to liven things up here while you are away.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Okay, Lash is on Monitor Duty!
Posted by Vee on :
Did we decide whether it will start Sunday or Monday?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Sounds like Monday, though I'm already doing a bit of an initial excursion.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Have a safe trip, guys! Write when you find work.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Monday will be good for me. I've been a lot busier than usual, I have an enormous paper coming up and it's taking a looooooooong time. Ah well, I guess it's a good trade off for only working three days a week !
Be ready for a fun road trip!

I was at the DC boards tonight for a while!!!
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
I can't wait to get over there. I should have more time tomorrow!
Posted by icefire on :
Glad we're going together!!!!
Posted by Vee on :
See you guys over there. I was there for a little while on Sunday, establishing a beachhead for us to operate from, so to speech.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Gee, Pa, sure is quiet here with all the kids gone. Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
I'm here Cramey! This is my home after all, I don't wander too far!
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Well, I've been to the DC boards and all I can say is that I absolutely hate it. Why they ever changed the format is beyond me.
Already, I've had trouble registering. It's bad enough that I have to adjust the legendary moniker of Cobalt Kid into "Cobalt", but now it won't even let me register that!
Second, the board is ugly and makes it hard to read posts without wanting to just come over here where everything is so nice.
Uh, when I stopped posting at the DC boards the last time, I wasn't having as much fun there, but at least it wasn't such a crappy board! Legion World is like the old DC boards, but even more superior, so thanks guys for making it that way (webmasters and people).
I'll try to make it over there again, but I'm already getting frustrated. I'd rather just stay here from now, after finally finding you guys again! I want to meet new LMBers and bring them over, but that board is giving me a headache!
*Sorry for the rant*
Posted by Vee on :
CK: Try eliminating the space between Cobalt & Boy on the user name You can put it back (with an underscore if necessary for what's seen.
Hopefully you'll make it over for a little bit. There are quite a few of us there but not many others Posted by STU on :
I think I've forgotten my ID and/or password. Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Vee, I think I'm similar to Stu. "Cobalt" is a name over there, and either someone has used it before, or I registered awhile ago and forgot my password (which sucks since I only have about five I use, and it's not one of them). I'll try another screen name later.
I had a long day, with car trouble, a paper and other stuff, so while I thought I'd be posting all night, I've just kind of been zoning out watching TV. Hopefully, I'll be over there later!
Stu, I say we make similar new names and then make some weird goofy story for the two of us over there! Like Dick and Jane, brother and sister.
Posted by Space Ranger on :
Sentients, I appologize, I tries to get interested in what was going on at the DC boards, but just couldn't handle it over there, I did manage to leave a few posts, and talked with Vee for a few sec. but the format makes me crazy, and it's way too BORING!!!
Truth and Justice shall Prevail!! (Home Sweet Home)

Good Lord The DC boards are so BORING!!!!!

OK -- you be Jane!
Actually, what's surprising is the fact that STU, Stu, and S.T.U. are all already taken. I know that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but really...! Posted by Semi on :
Why don't you both be Jane. Straight guys love lesbian tag-teams. Posted by STU on :
Actually, Semi... if you be Dick, I'll consider being Dick too. Posted by Semi on :
STU, you slut! Posted by STU on :
I prefer the term "shameless hussy." Posted by Semi on :
I think "Shameless hussy puppy" is more appropriate.
Posted by STU on :
How about shameless huppy? Or shameless pus--
"Shameless hussy puppy" will do just fine. Posted by Semi on :
No, I like shameless puss. You're going to get a new reputation, you know.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :

How can they possibly be boring with all you people over there?
The Dick-Jane Jane-Jane Dick-Dick stories alone must be riveting! Or maybe you can't say "Dick" over there?
Bring it on home guys!

Road Trip Report
A number of LWMBPers made the excursion (Blockade Boy, Icy, Space Ranger, jimgallagher, EDE, STU, Nightcrawler ~ did I miss anyone?) Unfortunately it seemed (to me at least) that we were pretty much the only ones around. There were a couple of other posters that I remember from before including Ontir and Matachine. Very little activity and hardly any interaction.
It's still a very annoying & frustrating board in general (I had forgotten just how frustrating!) and I find it next to impossible to enjoy myself while I'm there.
Perhaps some future recruit will stumble upon our posts and be drawn here but I don't think we'll see anyone in the immediate future as there just didn't seem to be anyone there!
Thanks again & again to Gary & Scott for giving us Legion World! This place is SO much better than anyplace else on the net!
Vee
PS: These are just my impressions. I'll be curious to see what others experienced.
Posted by Sonnie Bloke on :
I popped over, made one post and was so underwhelmed by it all I scurried back home here as fast as my mouse could take me!

Incidentally, mattachine = our own li'lrhino.
Yeah, the whole thing seemed a bit lackluster though. I wasn't feeling all that inspired, anyway, and for some reason it seemed like I was barely interacting with the rest of you guys, much less native posters.
My favorite post I made was actually over on the "DC message boards" forum, in a thread called "I'm confused and frightened". I was complaining about the mixed messages sent by the banner advertisments, but was pretty radically misinterpreted...
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
To say things are slow over there is an understatement. When I first came to the DC boards back in the day (before all of you I believe except Grey and maybe Dev), there were a ton of posters. Eventually, there was an enormous amount of posters, so many that a thread was going strong one day and would be buried on page three the next. It sure doesn't seem like that anymore...
It of course makes me wonder what all those old posters have been up! You know, I think I may have to start a whole new mission, and start emailing onld LMBers (and any other poster you remember talking to) and letting them know the link to Legion World and where we all are. That's what Bri-Seahorse did for me a few years back and I was so touched that he thought of me that I came back and had another good run with the LMB! Hm, I may have to do this soon...does anyone have emails for old LMBers. I guess I could try the Yahoo site, and hope a lot of people still have the same email. This shouldn't just apply to LMBers either, but all old posters (and new) who are a lot of fun!
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Alright, my nostalgia for Bri-Seahorse doing that for me made me crack and I've emailed a bunch of old LMBers. The only problem is that I used the email addresses on the Yahoo site, and I don't know if their still any good. I emailed Yellow Kid, Dedman, Sasha, Shady and Galahadran, and told them all to come join us sometime (and also gave them our best and asked how everything was going). If you guys can think of anymore LMBers to do this for (Terrence, Mart, Kid Psychout, etc.), you should! The only problem is finding an email address for them!
So far, it seems that Shady's email wasn't delivered. Damn, I hope that at least some of them were. If anyone knows more up to date emails for them, let me know! Oh, and does anyone have Bri-Seahorses' email so I could say hello to him some time?
And I think Paul McNeil, Duplicate Man and Mondo Joe are around here sometimes, although I haven't really seen them yet! I hope they post more (along with Therod, Dev and Faraway and others) when they get the chance!
If the DC boards are going to suck, we'll bring all the fun people here!
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Kid Psychout's around here occasionally (I believe I saw him a couple of nights ago).
Shady's registered here, but never posted. I hope everything's okay with her.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Actually, there's a bunch of folks on these boards with 0 posts. We should start a campaign to convince them to start posting!
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Hey, I got a reply from Galahadran! Gala, aka Shaton or Lurker Lad, told me to pass on that he's doing well, doing a lot of travelling and has been thinking about us lately. He says he's going to try to stop by in the next couple of weeks and join us!
Stu, I hope you see this! I think I remember you posting that you missed having Galahadran around awhile ago!
I'm pretty excited about this!

Yeah -- I did, and I do! Thanks for the update, Cobie! I'm glad to hear Shants is doing well, and I'm looking forward to seeing him around here or the Yahoo group sometime soon. Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Sadly, the email addresses I used for Dedman, Sasha, Shady and Yellow Kid all didn't work . They all must be expired, which sucks. Does anyone else have more up to date emails for any of these guys, or do you ever see them around in any other forums?
And Stu, I look forward to seeing Shanton too!

CK, I know that Shady at least IS registered here. You should be able to find her in the directory and send her a message through the board. Perhaps some of the others you're looking for are registered as well.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Here's her e-mail on these boards:
shadowplayincandlelight@yahoo.com
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Thanks guys, I may have to drop Shady and email and see how she's doing then. Does anyone else have any word about the others? Any of you 'old timers' .
And it seems like the recruitment drive is shedding some nice results!
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Yellow Kid has a couple of recent posts on the DCMBs.
Posted by MLLASH on :
Well, since all this went down, Shady has posted and Yellow Kid and Dedman are regulars! Pretty kewl!
Maybe it's time for another jaunt to the DCMB sometime?
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Kewl! I can see if my DCMB moniker "Eunuch Lad" is still around!
