Long story short, bought new computer. Problem: e-mail addy I have in my profile is no longer current and I can't access it. Hence, can't get password. Tried e-mailing you, no response. Had to hook up old computer to get access to account ... lo' and behold, can't get my PW from my profile, and I need PW to change my e-mail!
Anyway, sending this to you via PMs and posting it in general forums so someone will hopefully see it and help
Erh, just out of curiosity, why you don't know your own password? Do you always log in on cookies or something?

Taken care of. Anyone else here stupid enough to lock themselves out? Posted by Nim the Fanciful (Member # 205) on :
"Excess, oh you pee for you". What does it mean? Does living in excess and wealth mean one can piss for oneself? That would be great, if I could believe it.
Either dadaism has gotten a new following, or Snay has received a basket of goodies posthumously from William S. Burroughs.

It looks like I'm NOT the only one that stupid! *PHEW!* I recieved this in my IN box just a short while ago:

I too have tried to contact Charles and various mods with no success...
I too have locked myself out of flare... can you please post a message to the board on my behalf.
I changed my e-mail address to my new one but stupidly put a 'spam-block' in it: [email protected]... And not my REAL address [email protected]
So I didn't read the page properly and it sent a new password to that 'wrong' address. I now don't have a password to log back in. Can you ask Charles on the board to send a new password to [email protected] and change the e-mail to that as well!?!
PLEASE!
Thanks.

Thankyou Snay and Charles.
Charles what IS your contactable e-mail address? R U the only one that can help in these situations - cause I tried various mods and noticed that either they hadn't been around in yonks or that they didn't display their e-mail address.

Nim: LOL!

I'm disappointed in you Snay, you should really have to start this over.
The correct title for this thread would be: "Help me Chuckie-wan, help me"

What would happen if Charles locked himself out... Posted by Topher (Member # 71) on :
Then either Tim, Daryus, or myself would have to get him back in. Also, Snay and AndrewR could have contacted Tim or I to get them back into Flare, I think.

If you're going to correct somebody, it pays not to be wrong yourself, you know. "Help me Chuckie-Wan Cappsobi, you're my only hope." would be the proper title.
Prole.

Tried to find TSN's, Daryus' and your e-mail addys... to no avail - They aren't in your personality file or what ever they are called.
I did track one down of yours topher but it bouncecd.
I also tried the e-mail address at the solareclipse.net page - and another one somewhere else to no avail.

I just found a half dozen emails from between you two sorted into the Spam pile. I have retrained the filter to prevent such problems in the future. Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
Thank you Charles! My goal for the future is not to be lumped into the same general category as overall "spam" ...

You have... FORGOTTEN something. Charles has physical access to the server that Flare is hosted on. All he'd have to do is unplug it, and then crush the rebellion in one swift keyboard stroke. So don't piss off the troll. B)

Thanks Charles! I was wondering if something like that happened to the e-mails. Unlike Snay "I DON'T LIKE SPAM!!"

The strange thing is when i SMS people I use full words. I don't really like the whole R U GR8 CRAP. I think i was just so pleased to be reconnected to the board... I think I seriously have Flare dependency - which is sad. It was as close to what Hugh and Seven of Nine might have felt... not being linked to this 'Trek' hive mind. Watching but not being able to participate. Even the pigment in my skin was starting to comeback! If I'm Seven does that make Charles The Borg Queen? Who is my Janeway? The real world?

We cannot get out. We cannot get out. They have taken 'Incoming Hail' and the Moderators' Corner. First of Two and Lee and Nim fell there. We plugged the lock to the Officer's Lounge with our underwear. The pool is up to the wall at the Community section. The Watcher in the Flameboard took Omega. We cannot get out. They have a spam-troll. The end comes...drums, drums in the deep. They are coming. Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
LOL! CLASSIC!
I really do love that passage from "Moria"
Even though you changed things around... it still sends chills up my spine.
Although it was good in the movie... there is no comparison to the book.
"They are coming..."

If flare was taken over by hostile forces... the last being a wierd trek-cross over with The Lord of the Rings. Posted by akb1979 (Member # 557) on :
Oh, LOTR. Not seen the films yet nor have I read the books. I know! I'm WAY behind everyone else, not having seen LOTR & Nemesis, most films in the last 2 years . . . what can I say - the only friends that I have are on the Internet (i.e. you lot and those on other discussion forums!) Posted by Nim the Fanciful (Member # 205) on :
Read "The Hobbit" (as a small introductory snack), then "Lord of the Rings". Then you will understand. "Quenta Silmarillion" is good to, may even be the best of them, if one appreciates mythology. The War of the Ring can be seen as a mere trifle compared to the amount of shit going down in The Sil. Maybe you'll also run into a cute librarian in the process, at that.
Posted by Harry (Member # 265) on :
And FIRST read the books, THEN see the movies.
While the movies are wonderful movies in themselves, the books are way way better. A lot more characters, a bit less Arwen. But there are at least two things the movies really hit the right spot:
- Gollem. Somehow, I never really grasped his split personality from the book (but hey, I was only 15 when I first read it!).
- Galadriel. I now understand why Men are wary of her. Man, she was scary when she wore the Ring in "The Fellowship"! Never trusted her after that.
And on another note, recently New Line has publicly expressed interest in a "The Hobbit" movie. They made it seem like they were eagerly waiting for Jackson to finish "King Kong".
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
"'Quenta Silmarillion' is good to, may even be the best of them, if one appreciates mythology."
Unless you're a normal person, in which case it's painfully boring and confusing. And I like the other books.
Posted by Ultra Magnus (Member # 239) on :
If the books were written in such a way so as to not be boring and dry as fuck's sake, I might like them, too.
IT'S NEW ZEALAND'S VISTAS FOR ME BABY.
I will bandwagon and move there.
Posted by Nim the Fanciful (Member # 205) on :
Harry: "- Galadriel. I now understand why Men are wary of her. Man, she was scary when she wore the Ring in "The Fellowship"! Never trusted her after that."
You should have. My brother made the same misimpression. Galadriel never wore the ring, the movie took liberties in showing how she "could've" been. The book had her simply talking the part, describing that she would be a magnificent and terrible queen, had she taken it. Gandalf said the same things at his test in Bag End, you know. She passed the test, at that point she was the Fellowship's strongest and most powerful ally in Middle Earth, as well as the most powerful woman.
TSN: Have you read the new, illustrated Silmarillion? I got very much emotion, action and tragedy out of it, and I consider myself a completely normal turnip. I'm reading Unfinished Tales right now, to get even that good stuff at the bottom of the saucepan, after a good meat fondue.
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
Ohhhh After The Lord of the Rings - DEFINATELY read "Unfished Tales" - well all of it except the first two chapters which deal with events of the 1st age and thus tie in with the Silmarillion.
The Silmarillion WAS slow going - and I don't remember EVERYTHING about it - thing is it's more a collection of stories and mythologies of early Middle Earth than an ongoing narrative - like The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings.
That being said - I NOW appreciate it in a new light after going back one day and saying to myself 'stuff it' i'm going to read and finish "Narn in hi Hurin" The tales of the children of Hurin - the second chapter of Unfinished tales. Which then made me re-pick up and read at least ONE chapter from the Silmarillion... "Turin Turambar" - one of the most tragic of tales written.
Now THAT book/chapter would be a FANTASTIC movie to see.
Or even Beren and Luithien - I might read that again soon.
Oh also - for more stories along the lines of the appendicies and "The Unifished Tales" get the XII? Book of the History of Middle Earth - "The People's of Middle Earth". I *have* tried reading the first couple of the History of Middle Earth - THAT is slow going.
But Yeah, read Unfinished Tales then Silmarillion and go back and read the 1st two chapters of Unfinished Tales.
