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.

Re: DOGBLOG: Watershed. (Not Miiru's shed.)

I was just going to come on and post an update.

We have just decided to spend one more week re-doing the message board software to optimize the experience for you lucky Smarchers.  (Well, and we want people from all over the world to be able to see, read, and post on the message board despite whatever browsers/operating systems) and then we should be ready to fire the whole thing up.

I suspect we will have a first run, sort of a test drive, in which the current bb folk will get to climb all over the new toy and mess with it, then we'll open it to the public.

Announcement in the next few days, but that's the unofficial version.  I'll have to check in with Deborah and Strangeshe, who have been doing a huge, womanly job getting the whole project done, before anything's official.

You can't say huge womanly job and expect no-one with a mental age of less than ten (that's most of the non-female smarch population) not to snigger.

I am quite excited about getting a new toy before Christmas, despite posts to the contrary I have been a good boy!

You can scratch the "good", Lily just saw a trailer for the Hogfather and got really upset when she saw DEATH dressed up as the Hogfather or Father Christmas as far as she's concerned.  Poor little mite.
