Welcome to the forum, Erin! :)

I've read the first two books of the Bartimaeus trilogy and enjoyed them. I love the sarcastic footnotes from Bartimaeus! The second book seemed to drag a bit compared to the first, but I'll finish the trilogy. I've read a couple of his other books: The Last Siege, which was pretty poor (I...

Happy Birthday Gem! Have a good one. :)

Welcome to the forum, Samerron! I'm glad you like it here. :)

Good luck with that, Kristo! :)

Happy Birthday Fistandantilus! Good luck with your exams too. :)

Happy Birthday Jemima Aslana! Have a great day. :)

Tommy, I would advise you to avoid The Taking at all costs. It was one of the worst books I've ever read. I'm generally a Koontz fan and have read most of his novels, but his work is extremely variable. He writes some good stuff, some average stuff and some complete rubbish - The Taking...

Welcome back Carrot, and congratulations on your forthcoming marriage! :)

In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel

It's a good job I like you... a bit... sometimes... Otherwise you'd be in very "dire straits" indeed right now. :D

Happy Birthday Moto, you - what was the term again? Oh yes... "annoying ass"! ;) Have a great birthday. :D

I saw abc's post in the other thread and meant to reply, but got sidetracked. In principle, I think it is a very nice idea. The "welcoming" part of it we already do anyway in Members' Introductions, but the hints and etiquette part of it would be very helpful. However, as we get so many...

Hardly. No-one here, be they newbies or established members, should have to put up with being harassed/bullied/attacked etc. That's why we have a rule pertaining to this. Although I pointed out that an unfriendly attitude from people wouldn't encourage people to join, it doesn't encourage...

Welcome to the forum Fenster, and birthday greetings for yesterday! :)

It's amazing how even the most "open and shut" case becomes once again an opportunity to criticise the moderation here. I'm not going to start a discussion about whether the removed posts were rude/hateful/harassing etc., because to put it very succinctly, some members thought the posts...

I know I'm pointing out the obvious here, but not everyone feels the same as you, Stewart. Some people are, like you, happy to discuss everything publicly, but other members prefer just to have a quiet word via PM. How exactly is removing rude posts "pandering to the whims of silly little...

There seems to be some confusion about why ions' posts (and so many posts from some other members) were deleted from the "Most Whackest Books" thread. They were not removed for going off topic. It's very rare that we would delete a post purely for being off topic. If the new topic is very...

First of the Gang to Die - Morrissey

I agree with most of what veggiedog said. Also, please please sort out the difference between "its" and "it's" (sorry, pet hate of mine!) Examples: The dog wagged its tail (possessive - no apostrophe) It's going to rain later (contraction of "it is" - apostrophe needed). It helps to...
