So I finally learned how to get in. Even how to add new topics. Now I’m stuck inside, I can’t get out. There’s no {Exit} button. Does it mean I’m stuck in here for life? HELP! Why couldn’t they think of this before? Are there any emergency programmers out there that can program an exit button into the Coffee Room?
It’s like becoming Jewish. Once in you can’t leave.
No froggie don’t leave!
Join us and talk politics (both Jewish and government politics)
Look what you did to your brother. He was gone for over a year, you invited him back (*cough*cough*), and now he has been posting incessantly for almost a week already.
UJM: There was a chassidishe nigun about the Hotel California in the mid-70s sung by a group called the אָדלער. The lyrics were roughly as follows:
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
“Relax, ” said the night manager
“We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave! ““CA, Politics?!? Who and what?!? ME?!?“
Join us and become one with us…..
“and prey tell what is ‘Jewish politics’?“
1) prey is to Take advantage of, you probably mean pray
2) Jewish politics are what divides us (get the stirah?)
“BRING BACK THE SUB-TITLES!!”
They’re still here, but now we’re all auto-titled as “Participant”. It’s like in the old USSR, when everyone was “Comrade”. Even the Coffee Room is becoming Marxist.
Yeah, I miss them too little froggie ☹️
I don’t think I remember any subtitles
I remember how the subtitles were used against the members, so I don’t miss that.
I don’t remember that. Must have been before my time.
29,
I think some of them were called “Joseph” (I think haleivi was one of them but I might be wrong)
“Comrade” sounds a bit “yesterday”. Any replacement for “participant” should be something more contemporary that also has a least a bit of a yiddeshe taam would be more appropriate. A noun that captures the essence of the high level intellectual discourse and total absence of hubris that permeates every post allowed by the mods. Does anyone have a thesaurus readily available?
I am fairly certain the Joseph subtitles were put there so that the others would be aware of who was really posting.
Personally I think the loss of subtitles was the worst part of the upgrade.The worst part of the upgrade was that many hundreds of threads and thousands of old posts were lost. The second worst thing was the loss of all the Hebrew words in posts. The third worst zach was that thousands of threads duplicated the OP into five new threads.
I stand by my statement. But to each his own. Bottom line, it wasn’t much of an UPgrade.
Ujm Get it? bottom line?
Little frogie what am i going to do when i need help with gemorah homework
Mod-29, they were put there as part of the crusade against Joseph, the coffeeroom villain, to out him as well as to denigrate him. Also, it went under anyone who it was decided, for one reason or another, that the user was him. It didn’t make a difference how long we’ve known that individual and came to recognize the personality behind the name.
I do recall having my posts edited and manipulated by activist moderators, to remove anything that sought to explain or answer but to leave most enough to make it look like some angry sore loser.
It is odd that you view those days as well played. I didn’t thin it brought out the best of people.
Well played? Not sure. I think what you are talking about was before my time as a mod. My experience was with mods labeling his posts when he tried sockpuppeting. His multiple personality profile seemed to have been tabled one adar shortly after I was knighted.
So my apologies, for mislabling those “rough” times.

Great we have two people for our CRA meetings (coffee room anonymous)
