Again, I ain't Catholic, but I did think the whole point was to like, make a complex, symbolic ritual out of the process. Purell dispensers are effective and time saving but I'd probably not describe them as having an aura of reverence.

My church’s thing was a fancy little holder attached to a wall within which was a small saturated sponge you touched and blessed yourself.

Isn't that a little unhygienic? Or was there also a little Dawn Dish Soap along with that holy water?

Maybe it's like the communion wine and holds a little alcohol. Add holy spirits to water, get fairly antiseptic grog.

I've noticed that I have been spending less and less time browsing (let alone posting) in B12. And that saddens me a bit since this is a place in the internet that I can feel comfortable with and that I know I won't be attacked simply for existing.

The thing is, I don't want to leave this place. So I'm kind of in a bit of an emotional bind.

I myself has begun to be more on Discord rather than B12. I still browse it every day, but nowadays, I'm pretty much here for an occasional forum game.

I don't think you have to leave this place permanently, but if there's one thing that I've always knew about B12, is that everyone here will be welcomed, new or old*, so if you disappear for too long, people here will always be glad to have you back.

In any case, I do hope you'll find a similarly comfy and welcoming place.

*Well, if you're not a spambot, that is.

Have you tried the forum games in the lower boards? There's a lot to see down there, it could give you more to keep the forum interesting.

We're all spambots here.
This entire forum is clearly just a gaggle of highly advanced AI trying to convince each other that they're actually human beings

Heathens! Don’t you know that it is physically impossible for holy water to contain contaminants of any kind?

If you don’t want us we don’t want you either.

T’be fair I tend to lurk for the most part, but it’s in the emotion threads and on the mafia forum. I sometimes go through the FGRP forum and then kick myself for missing the start of a game that sounds interesting.

[Magistrum]

I feel like that is the direction of all old style forums.
Dammit, need to check if one of the xcom games is recruiting.

[NJW2000]

Yeah, involvement in something is the thing that gets you returning to the forums. Days were when I could spend hours on bay12 without playing a forum game or succession fort, reading any particular bit, or having a definite purpose... now I'm older, I'm less interested in every little thing on here. There's still nowhere I'd rather do RTD, mafia or DF-related stuff.

[Sanctume]

I bought 2 furnitures from Ikea yesterday.  Spent the day assembling them.  I have an extra wooded (dowel) after from each.  Like. wtf, did I miss a step in this minimalist picture instruction manual?

[Mephisto]

I don't post much on the Bay12 forums these days, I feel, but I'm also a little weary of the Naxza moniker and the years of posts I have behind me under it. Little too much history, right? I've been here for some decade or so and I'm still not soured on the community, but maybe I do a little more for it in my next incarnation.

I've debated changing my email address to a temporary throwaway, setting my password to something I don't know and can't guess, and then just silently starting again. I'd pull a GreatOrder but I don't want to make the quote link shit show even worse.

Alternatively, I'm sort of surprised I haven't seen a dwarf make a SMF-equivalent of that Reddit script that edits all of your posts and then deletes them, obviously minus the delete bit.

[King Zultan]

Okay I'm gonna ask, why do you guys want to delete your past posts, did ya say something embarrassing or are you guys wanting a fresh start?

[Mephisto]

You've never had a long-running account from when you were a young-un? I've had this one for so long that it's experienced one forum migration and the "date registered" stat is no longer functional.

[Frumple]

Haven't had it quite that long, but it's still been twelve years or so. Not even a little urge to change names or whatev', though. Hell, I think I've had the same signature longer than a fair few of my family members have been alive...

Honestly, you can change your name and/or picture, and nobody would know who you are.
