Stop bringing back old threads and read the FAQ.

Fish, leave my sister alone.  I've spent months trying to coax her back to the boards.  Don't scare her away now!

I wasn't trying to be insulting.  But you have to appreciate the irony, yes?


Welcome, Brandon's sister.

Hey Loryn, welcome to the boards. What Fish was referring to earlier was the fact that you posted on a thread that had not been posted to in a long time. It's more commonly called reviving a thread. We usually discourage that because, after a while, most people lose interest in a thread, so that when a person revives it, it seems like old news.

There are a few guidelines like that that we all try to follow. If you want to see all of them, here is the FAQ, coincidentally authored by your brother.

Also, if you want to stick around for a while, it would be nice if you would introduce yourself here, even if you are already notori-I mean well known for being Brandon and Jordan's sister. http://www.timewastersguide.com/boards/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=news;action=display;num=1051196804

And since she's mine and EUOL's sister we'd like to add that anyone that's mean to her will get killed in the night by SE's ninja monkeys and then their corpse will be placed in the corner as a warning to all.

But as for favorite author, sadly EUOL doesn't hold a candle to one of the greatest literary minds of the 20th, 21st and 30th century.  I'm of course talking about the great Stet Canister.

I don't know; I think Cecil G. Bagsworth III is pretty good too.
