 Greetings subjects! ;D Again, an ongoing thanks for stopping by and contributing to this rather odd place.  Just to let you know that the Slave Gremlins are playing with the graphics on the website - things may magically appear and disappear. Text may become unreadable for a for moments as I realise that yellow text is invisible on white backgrounds and so on. Heh heh. - the editor is very basic and my patience is short and flippant ...  ;D But it all makes life so much more interesting... The Goblin King ;D ps. please message me with any potential goblin avatar links - also I'm hunting around for a Harlequin diamond background texture ... Not enough time in the Goblin Underworld heh heh ... |

Dudes, goblins, friends, fairy (faery?) folk, pixies, boggarts, stoor-foots et al, lend my your pointed ears!  ;D I guess we can afford to go a bit more public about this forum if you want. I was worried about nasty big folk coming in and breaking things, but then I remember that some of us have special powers now to snuff them out. Heh heh. Feel free to invite friends – Don’t worry too much about sticking to themes. I do enjoy the whole “masked ball” element of us having magical personas, but I don’t think it should always get in the way of decent thread. Heh heh. Also don’t worry too much about trying to keep things too light hearted. Its okay, you should do what you want here with new threads (and so on). But if you’re unsure about anything, please message or mail me or Tinkerbell. We can always create new boards / categories if something too off the wall or not related. Its not really a chat room, so don’t feel too guilty (like I do ) if you don’t get back to people immediately – but I don’t need to say that I guess (actually I do because I’m suffering from dial-up related “rapid response chat guilt” hee hee :  Thanks again guys – I know there’s only a few of us but its really fun to read all this stuff.  Yours, William, Billiam, The Goblin King, Goblin Market Admin (I think I speak on behalf of Tinkerbell too – but she can be a flighty fickle thing.  )

Swearing Filter Has Been Temporarily DisabledGK reserves right to ban users and delete posts on grounds of threats or aggression, not rude words. This is a temporary measure. PM/IM me for a full explanation if required. (Mods can turn it back on without warning, heh)

There is now a special area mainly for the niche of friends from the NSHN forum who sometimes need a place to really rant and sympathise in called The Veiled Place (we can change the name heh) Some of the issues are not always suitable for guests, casual browsers, other users of this forum, hence the password. Again - IM / PM me for a more specific explanation if needed. Passwords will be sent out via IM/PM - or you'll need to request it from me or others. It mustn't be posted in a general thread etc. Thanks Goblin King / Billiam / Will |

I need to try something out - access to this forum is being blocked for content reasons (I suspect) - I think swearing in the posts themselves doesn't matter but maybe we should be more subtle with swear words (and anatomy words) in the thread titles. I might edit a couple of titles - hope thats okay.  |

You know - I may seek out a patron (meaning a friend with a working credit card) to pay for the removal of these adverts. I'm getting increasingly uncomfortable with American semi-commercial religious organisations colour banners whenever we're feeling down in VP - certain words must be associative with the adverts - I think they've taking advantage! Heh heh. Might just post a general complaint to Proboards - I'll tell them all that we're non-trading satanists and that we're feeling persecuted by the banners ;D (as opposed to a bunch of fairies, pixies and goblins ahem ;D lol) |

I shouldn't think we need to worry too much about the following, but I'm posting the following scans cos they are from the official govt. home office advice on the matter - its a double sided bookmark you give to children to help them take care when on the web.   GK / Will |

Check out The Emoticons thread in General board for any new Smileys or in-message graphics. Also anything that doesn't make much sense is probably due to evil fairie-pixie temperings with the swear filter. Me becoming a "jelly" for example ;D - its a goblin-fairy thing, harmless mischeivous magic of the Market ... ;D |

In keeping with the Declaration of Goblin Emergency Powers and Underworld Martial Law - I have confered upon Minotaur the status of Moderator in the Veiled Place and Eternal Pavillion. This is mainly due to the fact the Veiled Place requires just a little more observation than Tinkerbell and I can provide all the time - especially with regards to the posting senstive subject matter, the cross-checking of IPs and guest posting. Basically I'm happier if I've got someone else who can text me (etc) in the extremely unlikey event of an abuse of some form. Us Kings occassionally go awandering you see - and well, Minotaurs like the odd patrol (feel free to PM the Minotaur). Any probs with this, PM/mail me. Regards Goblin King / Billiam / Will |

ProBoards are upgrading hopefully this will make our forum quite super. ;D Okay, after creating new sections it has been decided that the forum shall be simplified again - so I shall be merging some sections - hopefully this wont be too confusing and will make "catch up" browsing a little easier. (hopefully BT will fix my phone line to give me broadband very soon) I live in hope. GK/Wxx |

Apologies for any logging in troubles caused by the Proboards upgrade. Feel free to post as a guest (just for now ) - but remember to include your name so we know who we're talking to
The game section has been sent backstage - since its mainly links - some we'll put up a single thread with all them on. There's no "merge" or "split" threads facility. So much for the upgrade. |

Emoticon Smileys Check out Extra Emoticons thread (stickied) for new (stolen) Smileys. Once compiled I'm hoping to put a quick ref guide up in a link from the header. EDIT ____ SMILEY GUIDEuk.geocities.com/goblinmarketgoblinking/sm_guide.htm(ongoing) ________ Censored Words / Filter Revision and revising have now been removed from the list because its "hurts my brain" |

"Too Many Connections"This is an evil and upsetting page (sent by stupid Trolls) which appears a lot at the moment. Proboards Server No.36 is possibly being bombarded by people rediscovering their forums after being notified to the upgrade of services. Hopefully this will die down (it appears pretty bad late at night - America prime online time perhaps?) Dont worry if you cant log-out - If I see you online in the early hours but being very very quiet I wont automatically assume you're ignoring me I suggest others think likewise. EZForums keep actually going completely offline - so if you think its bad - check out some of the competition heh heh ...
