Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

The Opium Den

Ok, admittedly the Oak panelling is a little battered, but the sofas are way comfy and coffee is always on tap. Admittedly the name's a little misleading, but there has to be a refuge for the addicts among us.
I only came across you lot on the 15th and already I cannot stop accessing the site- see what I mean by addiction *takes another swig of wine*
I have quickly learnt that I am computer illiterate and way behind the rest of the pack, but what the hey, I'll keep on trucking.

LOL... You love us, you really love us!

G'maen.

One thing I like about this community and any for that matter is the diversity. There's always different people in it, with different opinions.

Re: The Opium Den

Smarch addicts, or something else?

i was a Koalaholic and now i am getting addicted to the Panda-cams at the National Zoo in DC. They have a lot of fancy multimedia streaming and Javascript that updates every 20sec. I watched an (archived) Windows Media streaming video of a giraffe giving birth. All ways to slack off on the net (g)

Nothing too bad I hope?

(noticing the lack of acknowledgement from the dragon)

*worried*
Xenophon thinks that the lovely dragon must not be talking to him because of any pangs of consciense she might have about conversing with her dinner
