    Default Welcome to Mellophant

    Welcome to Mellophant that was Domebo. We are a general interest message board and welcome all. We will attempt to answer General Factual Questions, hold debates, talk sports and games or play games, discuss the arts from the cultural to reality TV and cooking and craft work of course. We of course have a large Lounge area for general talk and chat and what-ifs and just general chit-chat. We don’t have many rules and have places for trash talking and fighting.

    We are to some degree a spin-off board to the Straight Dope and thus consider the Giraffe Boards a companion board. Overall our membership tends to overlap with the Straight Dope and to a lesser degree Giraffe Boards.

    Please come on in and start posting. Introduce yourself here if you like. List things that interest you and someone will point you to existing threads related if you like. Say hello and enjoy yourself.

    Oh sure, when What Exit starts a welcome thread everyone's all great idea, let's respect the OPs intentions. When I start a welcome thread it gets caged and people take potshots at me. RAEG
    I don't think so, therefore I'm probably not.

    Maybe you just look cuter in a cage than What Exit? does, Stickler.

    Hey, everybody!
    The panther is like the leopard, except it hasn't been peppered.
    If you see a panther crouch, prepare to say "ouch!".
    Better yet, if called by a panther, don't anther.

    Your name seems really familiar. Did you use to post on the dope more regularly?

    Either way, welcome to Mellophant and I hope the whim takes you more often. We seem to be growing again and the Front Page is coming up just in time.

    hates freedom bites, but the regulars have come to realize that he rarely breaks the skin, and even when he does, the wounds don't get infected. We think of them as "love bites," kind of.

    Not bad, Zuul (who was Caerie) is running the board. Things seem to be pretty quiet but steady. The front page is doing well.

    I'm a lurker at SD, and just a few minutes ago I see this thread there about mswas being banned, and read he had been member there for like 10 years (is that even possible?) and he (she?) mentioned mellophant which meant nothing to me, so I Googled it and here I am, because I have this terrible habit of signing up for almost any forum I ever come across, even if I never post.

    I mean I sign up for forums and then like three years later have some reason to look at something on a thread there for some odd reason, and because my browser remembers passwords and cookies it turns out I am already signed in and then I say something and, well, it usually goes downhill fast after that.

    Or worse, people encourage me and then it really turns ugly, because I feel like I have to stick around and get sucked into these dramas that exist in forums, and at some point I wander off to another forum. Which did last week, so that is it in a nutshell. I have no idea what this forum is about. I'm not really sure about the SD either, but hey that's how it is sometimes.

    OK there seems to a bug, because I only hit the reply button once. I swear. And there seems to be no edit button.

    Oh great. Nice first impression there eh?

    Oh man it did it again. OK I guess I will shuffle off because I can't handle this at all. It's bad enough I posted, but now it looks like I'm a tard, and there is little I can do about it.

    Dude, have a brewski and chill. We're cool peeps. Toddle in, toddle off, don't make us no never mind. We keep the lights on and the tables clean and you just pop in when you want. The edit button appears once you've made, I think, 5 posts. It's an anti-spam measure. Doubleposting is no big deal. Happens to the best of us. A lot of us are from the SD, some are from SA, others came on their own. We welcome everyone. Lowkey environment. We talk, we laugh, we commiserate. There's a chat as well. Feel free to come talk to us. I think that's about it. It's nice to see you. I hope you come back. We've got smileys!
