I'm back...BRIEFLY!

[Seth]

...to say Sir Finkus, your account at WoJ has been created and Xizer, a confirmation email to your address bounced like Happy Fun Ball on acid.

[Victoria]

Wait what why

You left? Why does no one ever tell me when there's a problem, they just up and leave?

[email protected] is my e-mail address. Did you enter it right? I'm pretty sure Google doesn't bounce e-mails...

[Sir Finkus]

thanks seth, why are you leaving again?

Are there any hidden requirements for joining the WOJ forums? I tried before a long time ago while doing the requirements listed, but I never got anything.

Would ya like to get to know me? That's one of the requirements. From Admin 1:

I got this idea from the Playful Play Forums. I feel that there are a lot of people who join and don't post or it's automated joining. So I disabled it from new people joining. If they want to join, they have follow these instructions.


If you want access to join the forum you must do one of two things.

1) Know a friend here and have them PM me with your desired user name and email address.

or

2) Email me yourself with the email you wish to sign up with, username you want, and you need to state that you've read/understand ALL the forum rules and will follow them. Oh and that you will try and post.
[email protected]

3) All new members. Your posts will be moderated for 1 week. Then you will resume normal posting. Unless otherwise told so.

I need in your PM or email the following:
Username:
Temp. Password (you can change it once you've signed in):
email address:

Thank you.

PS. Those that know I left know why I left and why I don't feel comfortable yet coming back full time.

I don't understand why some forums try to be so exclusive. I can't imagine it's just to keep idiots out.

It's the way of the internet. Random forums are run by random people who establish random rules to fulfill their random whims...

It's like a balancing act. On one extreme, there's the option to have anyone be able to post without registering. On the other, there's the whole 'have at least three references, write an application essay minimum 1000 words, and post at least ten times a day once you join or get banned' crowd. You don't want to set the bar low enough that the forum gets flodded with spambots and trolls, but you don't want to set it so high that no one is willing to join.

I was a member of a forum and at some point the came up with a new rule, that everyone should post a minimum of X posts per month or get their membership cancelled. I made a few posts per day for a while but after a few weeks it felt more like a chore than a fun pastime.

For background, it was a forum where people just posted pictures and stuff they found on the web or in magazines and whatnot, and the rule was introduced to get people to thank the uploaders for their trouble. But after a few dozen variations of 'thanks for the pics, they're great ', the fun kinda goes out of it. And there wasn't really a whole lot else to talk about.

Now I have no idea what happened to my account, but in all likelyhood it's gone, and I don't really care.

Quite actually, yes it is. As I'm sure everyone is well aware, Julianna is the target of a lot of bizarre attention. And it's not as bad as it seems. Just dropping someone a line saying "Hey, I want to join. Here's why." Then writing a sentence or two is nothing. I'll let you in on a secret: We do send out a warning email to those who haven't posted in a while, but Sara never enforces it. That's not to say you can join and just sit there. We have a core group of people that post and it's getting rather dull, actually.

Ha, and I thought I was being stingy with the minimum 50 post count.

Well, its a forum about one person. How much can you really say?

[moomoo]

Lots of variations on 'Julianna is Really Great and She have Many Talents thanks God '

[BlackPaint]

Lots of variations on 'Julianna is Really Great and She have Many Talents thanks God '

So basically it's a teeming mass of Edgars? Quick! Get them while they're all in one spot!
