FAQs, rules, announcements, questions, suggestions, bugs, and test posts.
Hey folks. I am wildly out of the loop here, so I'm not sure who is still around in all. I know things have dwindled to a small core crew at this point. Even though I'm no longer involved here, I want to make sure as long as you guys want this...

Small site notes and modly things that aren't big enough for their own threads go here.
Well, today was a hell of a day. The forum went through a little trauma that left it dead and seemingly irretrievable. Our ancient server died, and our new server spat on us for being too old. Which, okay, we are, softwarewise. Still, ageism is...

If I'm correct in my reckoning, it's three years today that poor old Domebo began its cursed life. Well, things could have gone better, but what the heck. I've made friends here, which I never did at the Dope, and to my friends I say "Happy...
We should have a baseball smiley. :bb: for a baseball smiley. Here are some potential images.
This is mswas. As many of you know, I can be controversial. I don't want to start drama, but sometimes in heated discussion, I get a little bombastic. Just wanna know if I'll fit in here up front or if I should keep moving.
Seems some time zones are missing from here. I saw from -12 to +4. My time zone is +10. Is it a glitch?
I've noticed a few new posters here lately, and thought I'd give them a chance if intorduce themselves, if they would like. Or ask questions, or comment on that weird Mello smell we just can't seem to be rid of. It's all good. :)
Give yourselves a hand. :bravo::bravo::bravo:
What do you know, we made it. It looked grim a couple times in the last year, and thanks to choie and the others who got us through. Tenth anniversary of this funny little board that I frankly didn't think was going to make its first.
Well, I believe that today is the fourth anniversary of poor old Domebo. There's not much left, is there? Should we just close down? Invite exy back, cause why not? Anyway, hello to anybody who's still reading.
It's strange how people keep coming to this board (and not contributing very much) then complaining about how dead/boring the place is. Several of us regular Mellos take perverse pride in the 'lameness' of this board. If our quirky twist of lame...
Just saying like.
As several people may already know, November is NaNoWriMo month, where lots of people slave away to produce 50,000 words, or 1600 words a day, of their novel in one month. Now there are plenty of creative writers on the board and several who have...
Still none of y'all will come. I even put out a spread. :fail:
For anyone using phones, Nooks, iPads etc. etc, the Light and Mello style has been updated. Enjoy.
Whatever you decide to celebrate or not over the next few days, may they be joyous and happy.
I ain;t seen no green elephant before. How is it so?
Yeah, so, it's now. Yes, PTB, I know, but, hey, nothing else going on. Serious question, though. What's up with all the RPG? I never got into it as a kid, although I did read a shitload of fantasy-genre fiction, mainly b/c my pops had a...
Well, much to my surprise, we're still here. Still limping along, but we made 200,000 posts, and Jizzelbuddy has added some new energy. Yay us!
C'mon guys, I have enough trouble keeping up as it is. Why is everyone's avatar a giraffe?
Here's the link to the announcement, which annoyingly is at the top of the page instead of easily viewed in the thread list. I'm so used to the earlier version of this software! Anyway I've finally set up a Patreon account for anyone who's kind...
To anyone who is also on the SDMB, their database has been hacked. If you have an account on there, I suggest go and change your password, especially if you use it anywhere else.
I got a spam PM from phukiengiahot, who registered January, 2016 and has no posts. No idea what it's for, as I don't speak Vietnamese.
To all, there may be some downtime this weekend as our hoster is switching us from our VPS to a cloud solution as part of their general upgrade. There will be some brief downtime on Saturday Night/Sunday Morning as we switch. If there are any...
Well, another year gone by. We are tiny, but we endure. Thanks to Cat for keeping the place going, and best wishes to the other Mellos.
To stop forum clutter, this is the thread for requesting changes to the message board software. Once a consensus has formed around an idea, I'll add to the todo list, below. On my todo list (earlier in the list indicates higher priority): Add...
Everyone at Mellophant would like to thank the following people for helping us get off the ground: CRSP, for founding domebo and graciously turning it over to us when he didn't have the time to run it anymore. McNutty, for kindly offering his...
Well, frankly I never thought we'd make it. We are small, and we are quiet, but we endure. Best wishes for the Mello year to everybody out there.
In the spirit of the upcoming event, I added a spooky new skin for Halloween. Enjoy.
Well, not much to say, I guess, other than we keep chugging along, playing our little games and doing what we do. Happy Birthday to us.
*banging pots and pans* Now that I have your attention Before I pitch my tent on your lawn answer me this. What is a Mellophant? I imagine it's how a deaf child would say elephant.
As 2011 draws to a close, may 2012 be as good, if not better than the last. Happy New Year from me to all at Mellophant and the rest of the world. :dumbo:
We have a chat bot that elmwood had programmed some responses into last year, but when we were having chat lag problems we had to turn off all the bells and whistles. Since that isn't a problem anymore and there was a request, I figured I could turn...
My name is Jessica A. Still live with my parents and have an fraternal twin sister as well. Live in Metro New York on New Jersey side of it USA. Born with a Neurologically based speech impairment/apraxia-dysarthria. Suffering from...
With the avatars. I looked and looked for a thread regarding this wide-spread surprise, but have found nothing on it. Perhaps I have just stolen some of Lib's meds and am imagining all this. As always, ignore me. Ooh! New smilies too! ...
Well, whatta you know. Despite message boards in general dying a slow death, our little one is still, sorta, hanging on. Will we make it to a decade? Tune in next year, if you can.
8 years is a long time. Sure, we're a handful of people playing a few mild games, but we're still here. Happy Melloanniversity, comrades.
It's only 10 days away now, so there is a festive theme available for anyone in the mood - Mello Xmas. Enjoy. :)
Is Mellophant compatible with Tapatalk? If so, how do you get it on there? If not, Is there another way to view Mello on an Android device?
It looks like our hoster caught a fright and had some trouble with our hosting. Hopefully, it should be fixed from here on. :iiam:
Sorry accidentally reported a chate but there was nothing to report.
Seriously you guys it's terminal!
It appears to have lasted around nine hours, but everything is back and there should be no further problems. I had a hiccup with our hosting service, and unfortunately I was sick last night so had been asleep when it started. My apologies to...
Well, it's been a few months and so far so good...but things haven't really taken off. It feels like we've reached critical mass (give or take a few) and it's now mostly the same folks chatting away. Frankly, I've enjoyed it (and in particular...
I accessed Mello on my phone today, and tried to changed the skin, to make it readable on my phone (instead of the jumbled mess I had). Alas, I couldn't see a mobile skin. Is there a way to do this, or just make do?
Is it like chat? Do I need to pay to CHATE?
I got an e-mail this morning from the host. For a new website, we are outstripping average CPU load by ten times, due to the amount of members and the traffic we are getting. I suppose that this is a great achievement, and I can't lie, I'm...
Hey gang. Are you as sick of these porn/essay-writing spammers as I am? Well, I can't get rid of the ones existing en masse,, but I can erect a minor barrier to their registration process. That means moving forward, new members will...
I don't know how many remember him, he did most of his posting before 2005 (before I joined) but came back for a while after. He had the great ability to tell a humorous story well. He was a one man campaign vs. Smilies. I know he retired from...
Many of them are completely moribund. There's still plenty of activity but it seems to mainly be around the Lounge/Arts/Games sections. We rarely "pit" things, and few Q & A type questions are ever asked. What do you all think? It's not a big deal I...
