First Entry

Congratulations on your new outing.
For the record, I wasn't the person who chose Greymatter for SignalStation. That informed decision was made by my partner, Amanda. She knows more about these things than I do. She figured out how to put a site together and I keep it full of comics and comments.
Anyway, things are looking good. Best of luck locating a color scheme. Keep on keepin' on. Catch you on the flip-flop. Uh, bye.

We Don't Need No Stinking Badges... Do We?
I asked recently about the badges scoring system and whether people would prefer to go back to an old system. Go »Fall Over
The end of the goo game's fall season is almost here. The scores are so close: Eight players are within 1000 points of the lead as of this writing, with several more players close behind them. Go »Drink at 16, Drive at 18
A high school teacher of mine once got us all nervous when he cited statistics showing how much safer we would all be if the US adopted the age limits of most European countries, which is to let you drink at 16 and drive at 18. Go »One Pence None the Richer
I have liberal friends who condemn principled conservatives for supporting Trump. They say conservatives used to stand for certain important values and ideals, and Trump not only violates those ideals but denigrates the nation and risks serious dangers to the world (his brinksmanship with North Korea, his cozying up to dictators, etc), and they say that the once-principled conservatives who now support this man because of the (R) next to his name have revealed themselves to be hypocrites. Go »Too-Political Cartoons
I read a lot of newspaper comics every day — we're overdue for a Comic Strip Roundup, come to think of it — but two editorial cartoonists who I will no longer be reading are Ted Rall and Glenn McCoy, who have both crossed a line in recent weeks. Go »

Here it is, the first entry on this bulletin board. I've wanted to put a board on my site for years, but never really got around to it. Anna found this wonderful program called Greymatter, so I thought I'd give it a shot. (She got it from Michael Van Vleet, who probably got it from someone else, and so it goes. A man named Noah Grey invented it, and his website is, irony aside, noahgrey.com)
Knowing me, I will fuss over the configuration and templates for weeks or months, so don't get used to the way things look and work. The basic elements of the board are entries, comments, karma, and authors. If you are an author, you can create a new entry, which is a new bulletin on the bulletin board. If you are not an author, you are restricted to the other two author powers only: Posting comments after existing entries, and adding karma, which is + if you like or agree with what was said and - if you dislike or disagree. If you want to be an author, send me an email message (weaverx@hotmail.com) with a password that you'd like, and I'll set it up for you. I ask my users to please use their first and last names, no anonymous names here.
You can use HTML commands and swear all you want. This board is run by me and will reflect my policy beliefs (such as no anonymous usernames), but it belongs to everyone who uses it. Post to it as often as you want. As of now, I plan to post to it every day, but time and my schedule may undermine that plan. Thanks for visiting!
