Title: Hello?....Hello?....Anyone Home??
Post by: Oliver on January 03, 2012, 11:59:19 pm
Goodness! The last post was Dec. 22, 2011 and it's now Jan. 4, 2012...You all must be on sabbatical? Well, this should be a good year for the forum....You're long wait should be over sometime in June, when, as I recall, a "blue moon" will once again occur.....And you, of course, recall what that means! 'u'

Well, I'll give you a slight hint. It has to do with a cigarette brand! .^.

Welcome to the newly-designated "Oliver's-the-Only-One-Posting-Forum"! (OOOPF) Don't worry, when DeJa or whoever shows up, I'll be quiet.

Another clue as to who was to return in June to post at least a word or two: was a popular poster here, hardly an advisary as I recall. 'v'

Wow! 4 days in a row? How LONG can this go on? The posts on this forum almost always have had some substance, well, some substance whether intellectual or social, certainly not piffle such as this. But have a great day anyway. 'u'


Title: Tax Headache Time
Post by: Oliver on January 07, 2012, 11:07:00 am
Well, 11 views, so it must beee that someone is seeing this, but, not posting anything, which, is interesting, considering I'm not posting much of interest, just 'marking time'....Maybe whomever is reading doesn't care for me or my posts. I well-remember the receptions I've received once upon a time with such sentiment as : take your drivel over to such-and-such a spot--PLEASE!

Or, perhaps a reader here does not, for some strange, questionable reason, want to "scare" me off, into the silence of cyberspace, such as so many once prominant posters have done here, for their personal reasons.

ANYway, I can see one's not posting right here, but to forsake the entire forum?! As most of the radio ads for Dick Van Dyke Appliance invariably say,,,,WOW!

T.H., whom I'm sure you ALL know about, is now revealed for your curiosity: T.H. is about 60 miles S. of D'ville, in Indiana! WOW! Who'd thaught! 'u'

SORRY I missed yesterday! Time is really accelerating now, Sunset is beckoning, and I am becoming forgetful!! By the way, T.H. is going to be revealed SOON, if I can remember to do it!  'u'

Title: Cubbie Prediction
Post by: Oliver on January 17, 2012, 11:28:46 am
To make up for the last 100-some years, the Cubs will win all 162 games, and all the playoffs and 4 straight in the Series with the White Sox. On that day, many of us long-time fans will pass peacefully in our blissful slumber.....So, have your affairs in order by October, please. 'u'

Title: Embarrassing Admission!
Post by: Oliver on January 19, 2012, 12:31:12 pm
Now, since I've had the last several posts of the forum, am I breaking a rule? Like "flooding the forum"? (which "Bill Saffran,a.k.a. "green onion") charged me with back when I was the only one posting on edanville.com and "he" only went there since I had advertised the fact on the old CN-GB. Oh, well, I mean no harm. I'm simply hanging around till the posting gets started again on DeJa's wonderful, liberal forum. 'u'

Title: My GOAL Here IS:
Post by: Oliver on January 20, 2012, 12:47:33 pm
to become the TOP poster on this esteemed forum by way of ONE post a day!

Now, I haven't looked up any stats lately. The last I knew, GA was at the top or near due to all the recipies. Then DeJa. So, the question is, how long would it take me at 1/day, assuming they never post again!

Let's find out, since I've proposed it.  DeJa 1936-19 I have = 1917 (days for me to equal at 1/day ) divided by 365 = 5.26 years....Well, all right. Are you OK with this prospect? Press "like" if you do, please. Me, I'm not.

Say, how 'bout them Cubbies? 'u'

Title: OK, This Is IT!

'It" is 3rd person singular, as I recall. ("he", "she" or "it)

For 5 points, what case if "you"? 'u'

Title: The WINNER of the S.B. Will BE:
Post by: Oliver on January 24, 2012, 02:41:38 am
Here's a correction on my previous post. If I had gone there to modify it, the date & time would've appeared, and I have a phobia about that. I meant the word "is" for "if". Also, "person" is more accurate than "case". And the answer is 2nd person, either singular (not the medicine) of plural. Gee, if it were the very very old days, there were a few old pedantant biddies around to argue grammar with, much to their disdain, esp. with a no-nothing person such as I.

As for the Super Bowl, I haven't watched it since Namath (sp?) predicted the Jets would win. To find out the winner this year, just wait for the game to be completed.

Title: I've Been A BAD Boy!
Post by: Oliver on January 29, 2012, 05:43:45 pm
It was BAD of me to forget to post some blather here yesterday!! I can not really explain it! Perhaps Buzz or Penn could take about 20,000 words and about 10,000 oh-so-vital-links to explain it all! Anyway, soooo sorry..I know at least one or two of you are waiting to see what I post next. As for the rest of you, well, rest in peace. 'u'

Title: A Sermon
Post by: Oliver on January 30, 2012, 12:03:56 pm
You know, I should not ever hint anything one way or the other about viewership numbers. It's always been a curiosity, though, of mine. Frankly, if they were not revealed, I'd go about my line-filling about the same.  Still, I've just noticed that Mr. Terry has logged in and I'd like to say good morning.

Think of the forums here in E.Cen. IL, or at least in the relatively near area. They tend to peak, some a lot more than others, and level off, and decline,,and become inactive,,or disappear suddenly most of the time.

Why? I suppose each ending is unique, a certain mix of instances, but all-in-all there seem to be basic reasons. An owner's time and money must figure into it. Issues, too, that is, acrimonious issues, such as, the end of the last-hurrah CN Forum. I think that as long as there are the Tammy Hawks who are so determined to spead nasty, unprovoked, uncalled-for posts under the "invincible" cloak of anonymity, well, that's ;the reason for most of the garbage.

They end due to sickness and death to an extent. And that ridiculous word, "boredom".  There is NEVER an excust to feel that way, because NO one knows it all. There is ALWAYS something to do or think about, for heaven's sake.

So, what's the story for THIS forum? WHAT happened? Did Winton's exit have any effect? Did Buzz's departure from the "sheeple" have any effect? Why didn't DeJa's tireless efforts to revive the posting prove more fruitful?...............................I don't know the story here.........I only know that at one time, this was a rather thriving and mostly "happy" forum.
 
And so, my dear reader, have a nice day. Spring is in the air. 'u'

Title: A Secret Admirer?
Post by: Oliver on January 31, 2012, 12:49:49 am
Usually not on here late at night, but, this'll count for Jan. 31st. One invisible entity has been on in the 1st 45 min. of this day, and the count total for this, the ONLY activity on the forum, has increased by 3. One of those would be mine. So, probably Deja or Terry  from yesterday and the unknown entity tonight, er, this morning. Hey there, Entity! Bye, there, Entity! 'v'

Seems like a lot of people have drifted away from this forum.  Too bad.  I always enjoyed the back and forth banter.  Maybe it will resurrect itself as the political season heats up.  I hope so.

I'm an optimist. It would be nice for the activity to pick up, but I don't notice many people even checking in. So, will this forum BE the exception? Will THIS forum, indeed, come BACK? So far, once I've seen forums decline in activity, they either disappear, hang in there with a few posting (or with only ME on several old forums) or lay there, dead.


Peace & Best Regards, from Bru Oliver-- 'u'
