Welcome To Topix Too Forum

Also I'm wondering about the adult section.

How many members do you have so far?

What does purple stars mean on a person's profile?

The purple stars are for a Global Moderator ~ Me.

I prefer to think of them as a different shade of blue. If you squint and cross yours eyes and hold your breath until you almost pass out, that last second, when you feel light headed and dizzy, if you continue to squint with your eyes crossed, they really are blue. In fact, I like to believe they're Kentucky Blue.

Hello Icno! The reason I'm asking I've seen purple stars on three other profiles and when I went back for a second look they're gone.  I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.  lol

How much have you had to drink?

I am getting the same error message as Cygnus.  I assume it is an unintended side effect of whatever Pete did to get a handle on the Sprocket thing this morning.

I hope I’m no trouble for asking here, but can I ask what happened with the Sprocket situation?

Perhaps it's none of my business, but I’m just curious about what happened.

Okay Folks, Sorry for the delay in responding. I've been out and busy this afternoon. Yes Der, part of the problem stems from Pete trying to fix some of the problems Sprocket created. Unfortunately, Pete also has many pressing things to attend to as well and his internet keeps going out so he can't devote 100% of his time to this. I'm sure he'll have it all fixed and back to normal as soon as he can.

My apologies to everyone trying to PM. Hopefully nothing was a life or death situation. Please try to be patient. Also..... Please keep in mind, Pete created this forum for everyone to enjoy. He gets nothing, nada, zilch, for maintaining this place. He received no compensation for creating it. He did this for you, so that you'd have a place to gather and keep in touch with the friends you previously made on Topix and hopefully find new friends. It's not, nor has it ever been, his intention to cause grief or turmoil for anyone.

I'm not quite as patient or tolerant as Pete. I resent the fact that you would find it an inconvenience to have to occasionally wait for something you want. I resent the fact that you feel the need to bellyache and complain each and every single time something doesn't go your way.

I'm sorry if that sounds rude or if it hurt your feelings but please put yourself in Pete's Place. (No pun intended) He has a job, a family, and a life of his own. He has devoted every spare moment he has to this place and allowing you the privilege of posting here.

Keep your panties on and your overwrought emotions in check. The problems will be worked out as soon as humanly possible. If you want to leave because you're unable to send a personal message right this minute, how many did you send prior to being allowed the privilege of joining here?

Rant over for the moment.....

I am not sure what provoked it, but it would seem he had some sort of mental breakdown and deleted his forum.

Oh my.. that poor guy. That’s so sad.
I hope he’ll be alright. He’s can be a really good guy when he wants to, but I guess he has his reasons on why he left us.

I too was stricken with grief lately, and I know I’m only speculating here with Sprocket, but that was why I was lashing out when that is not my normal side in life.

I have felt bad about it ever since. That’s why I needed some time off from here so I could regain myself.

Hope he’s doing well and changes his mind.

Thank you for saying. 🙏

You are right Der, I'll fix it.
