For The Moderators

& All Friends Here

[trannack]

Just recently, and this is not a complaint, I have had a couple of replies to threads pulled as being off topic. I totally understand the reasoning behind this. However, a number of threads seem to get moved to other forums on WW. Speaking for myself, I only tend to visit two forums on WW, within these forums I feel I have got to know - and understand - a lot of how the regulars on these forums think, what makes them tick, what their general areas of expertise are etc. Although none of us have ever met, I often think of these people if not as friends, as working colleagues.

There are often times when I would like to post a question to get feedback from these people that I feel I have got to know and trust, but feel it is going to be off topic and either pulled or moved to another forum that I do not know or visit.

I have enjoyed the sometimes light relief banter that goes on here - and the sometimes flippant comments that get thrown around - re fridges, and mouse tracking etc. Is there any way that WW could almost put a subforum within a forum? ie "adsense off topic forum" or some such thing? Just a thought.:)

Because Webmasterworld is the best place to share information and obtain help. If you look into the profiles of those who have contributed significantly to this thread, you will see that most of them also make many constructive inputs into the Adsense forum (at least). However, they also have a sense of fun and enjoy a degree of banter with their workmates.

The point of this thread is still that if we are not allowed to make the odd quip in the adsense forum, it would be appreciated if we could have somewhere "local" to share time with our immediate colleagues.

Can't we work and play a bit at the same time?

[Pengi]

nope I think what trannack is talking about is
[webmasterworld.com...]

which doesn't exist YET.

me thinks Trannack is saying that it's cool hanging out here and that there should be a place where we can talk crap specifically with fellow adsensers.

Admin underpants are worn in compliance with the WW TOS, although they never want anyone near.
For laughs, we take these people to trannack, despite the meaningless protestations and silent constant meddling with the Foo-bound Amen Amen :-)

But then, Webwork's ex demanded social skills be set aside, and she smiled as certain explicit locked drawers mysteriously opened, revealing missing threads that matched his parked caravan.

Mechanics, aerodynamicists, and astronauts all discovered that intergalactic dating site ads target many AdSense publishers, test pilots, and castigated Egyptian Gods.

Late night stats checking is always disappointing because Kazakhstan journalists sleep during trannacks vulcanised fridge experiences.

But after several years hunting MFAs, filtering endlessly, Google decided that 200 entries was completely inadequate and granted a total ban to every publisher who publicly whines about lower quality, credibility.

Three admins and three mods were traveling by train to a pubcon. At the station, the three mods each bought tickets and watched as the three admins bought only one ticket.
"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asked a mod.
"Watch and you'll see", answered a admin.
They all boarded the train. The mods took their respective seats, but the three admins all crammed into a rest room and closed the door behind them. Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came around collecting tickets. He knocked on the restroom door and said, "Ticket, please".
The door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with a ticket in hand.
The conductor took it and moved on.
The mods saw this and agreed it was a quite clever idea. So, after the pubcon, the mods decide to copy the admins on the return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all that). When they got to the station, they bought a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the admins didn't buy a ticket at all.
"How are you going to ride without a ticket"? said one perplexed mod.
"Watch and you'll see", answered a admin.
When they boarded the train, the three mods crammed into a restroom and the three admins crammed into another one nearby. The train departed. Shortly afterward, one of the admins left his restroom and walked over to the restroom where the mods were hiding. He knocked on the door and said, "Ticket, please."

Bddmed - :)))

Well I'm back - and really glad that everything is carrying on in the same manner. And may I say how splendidly you are all typing on this beautiful Monday. Stats are up, sun is shining, got no hang-over, not had any recent problems with adsense or adwords - what more can I say.....oh yeah - still no fridge and still no adsense/adwords foo!

OK a slight change. A new type of word game.

Are you a 2%er or a 98%er?

Think of a number between 1 and 9.
Multiply the number by nine. If the answer has two digits, add the two digits together.

Subtract 5 from this number.

If every letter of the alphabet represents a number ie 1 = a, 2=b, 3=c........etc find the letter that represents your number.

Think of a country beginning with that letter.
Take the last letter of the country name and think of an animal biginning with that letter. I will post the answer in the next thread to stop any potential influence....

[trannack]

If your answer is Kangaroo you are in the 98% group.
If not you are in the 2% group - making you either
a)very weird, or
b)incapable of performing simple mathematics or
c)not being able to spell
d)all of the above!

Apologies to all non English speaking people, who I appreciate may have a different result.

[Bddmed]

But uuuuh, allmost all country names end with a D. And I don't like dogs ;)

[Pengi]

Ostrich
e) incapable of following simple instructions correctly!

[Pengi]

bet you're a b) or an e) then!

[Bddmed]

All the English I can speak and/or write is from participating. I didn't have any education in that area. Mathematics is something I always have been pretty good about so it must be "incapable of following simple instructions correctly!", in English I would like to ad.

[Pengi]

If the maths gives you an aswer of 4, then the Country starts with a D - say Denmark - or?

When I did the maths I did 6 * 9 = 54 (missed the next instruction) then took away 5 to leave 49 (then added in the instruction I missed earlier) and got the answer of 13 = M - I picked Morrocco and got an Ostrich!

my maths was OK - I just didn't follow the instructions in the right order.

Bddmed you have excellent English - you're at least as good as my bad typing.

I see that emmasary engine has shown up to try and tempt us again in to capitulating and taking up the banner up of the general Foo.

Brothers and Sisters be not dismayed at the attempts of the intringent arostocracy to compromise our mission and sense of purpose! Be careful of the tempapations that they may send to us and the many forms that they will take. Do not heed their vile distractions and coungered suggestions. Fall down upon your knees and raise you mouse hand to the sky and beseech the Lord Brett to grantith the great boon for which all the Adsense Cult desires!

Our own FOO!-!-!

I said say hallelujah!

a)very weird, or

Me, I'm weird since I speak several languages and didn't come up with Denmark until #4!

1. Deutschland
2. Djibouti
3. Dominica
4. Denmark

Ah well...

Late night stats checking is always disappointing because Kazakhstan journalists sleep during trannacks vulcanised fridge experiences.

But after several years hunting MFAs, filtering endlessly, Google decided that 200 entries was completely inadequate and granted a total ban to every publisher who publicly whines about lower quality, credibility.

Joke Game:

An Administrator, Moderator and Adsenser walk into a bar in Vegas, wearing frilly underpants, and asked frozen browsers to change their Preferences. Their message to all: Google will honor all requests from publishers, and Matt Cutts will feed our AdSense addictions with Bacon Polenta and chips and a round of drinks for everyone!

The moral of the story is:

[Khensu]

Nice job Ann!

An Adsenser is stranded on a desert island, he finds a magical looking bottle and rubs it, and out pops a Genie Mod who promptly moves said bottle and adsenser to a different location. "Now that you have expended the first of your three wishes without even choosing to do so", the Mod in a bottle sez, "what do you want for the other two?"

Sorry trannack I just couldn't resist.

Speaking of resistance, where are the Borgerators?

I think they are miffed. I have envoked his Brettness but have not seen "The Miracle" yet.

[edited by: Khensu at 8:10 am (utc) on Oct. 17, 2006]

[trannack]

Speaking of resistance, where are the Borgerators? Maybe they are all having a high profile meeting to discuss how to implement the Adsense foo?

[Khensu]

That would be nice.

Even if they said it honestly went to a vote and it was shot down I would be content with knowing we at least had a go at it.

I hear Brett works in mysterious ways.
