Grex Agora47 Conference

Item 1: Welcome To Autumn

Entered by katie on Tue Sep 23 17:16:30 2003:


Do not regret dear Summer's end
nor mourn its final day.
Its endless eves and dewy morns
were never meant to stay.
Rejoice! You paid it tribute when
you piddled it away.

                                   -Caulfield  ("Frazz")

New users:
 Hi everybody!  You are in the agora conference, in item 1.  Item 1 sometimes
 gets very long and, well, it's often full of statements like "this is
response
 number 100, isn't that exciting?!", which really, of course, isn't all that
 exciting.  Unless you're the one who got response 100.  There are much more
 interesting discussions elsewhere on Grex.  If you don't want to read through
 everything in item 1, press your "q" key at the "press Spacebar for more"
 prompt.  Then, at the "Respond or pass?" prompt, type "stop".  Next, type
 "browse", to see a numbered list of item titles.  Say items 37 and 53 sound
 to you like they're really interesting.  At the "Ok:" prompt, type "read 37
 53" to see them.  Another option instead of "browse" is to type "selections"
 to see some items that someone else (probably me) thought were interesting.

 The Agora conference has a lot of interesting discussion in it -- please do
 go look for it!

 Welcome to Grex!

Oryl #4?  Ah well.

I would like to add that Valerie's classic note which I pasted into #3 doesn't
mean as much to Web users.  Hopefully the web interface is friendly enough
to wake the equivalent operations obvious.

Portuguese?

#71 of 152 by nafteee on Sat Nov 1 05:05:05 2003:

cross is a fucking moron.

#72 of 152 by malamen on Sun Nov 2 03:38:38 2003:

Sindi, welcome in portugese = "bem vindo"
i found grex in the web, whit google, searshing forfree shells (eggdrop,
irc...)

#73 of 152 by gelinas on Sun Nov 2 04:05:58 2003:

(We don't allow eggdrop or other bots here, and irc is only available to
members.)

#74 of 152 by malamen on Sun Nov 2 18:19:25 2003:

foi o unico servidor de telnet que achei (naum sei escrever isto em ingles)

#75 of 152 by tpryan on Sun Nov 2 19:15:59 2003:

        Nifty how our page mentions that they are not allowed, so that they
do show up on a search for 'eggdrop'.

#76 of 152 by willcome on Sun Nov 2 23:29:31 2003:

We don't allow any language but English here.

#77 of 152 by keesan on Mon Nov 3 00:02:55 2003:

I think malamen is saying that he has a unique telnet server, or maybe grex
is a unique telnet server?  But he does not know how to say this in English.
What do foi and achei mean?

#78 of 152 by towerx on Mon Nov 3 14:55:19 2003:

i just want to see wether it realy work? because i am first visiting here.

Speaking of the sky, does anyone else feel a twinge of sadness that Mars is
"fading" in its brightness?

#81 of 152 by other on Thu Nov 6 21:27:08 2003:

Yeah.  I didn't get to visit while it was in the neighborhood.

#82 of 152 by remmers on Thu Nov 6 23:16:31 2003:

Being a peaceable type person, I am happy that Mars is fading.

#83 of 152 by rcurl on Fri Nov 7 03:36:03 2003:

Think of what it would mean if it stopped fading.

#84 of 152 by tsty on Fri Nov 7 09:06:59 2003:

more war????

#85 of 152 by rcurl on Fri Nov 7 17:32:46 2003:

No, new science....

#86 of 152 by albaugh on Fri Nov 7 18:55:35 2003:

Actually, looking at the crystal clear sky last night (which made for some
very chilly conditions) it didn't look so faded after all.  But I know it's
on its way "out"...

Hi to all :-? ^_^

#92 of 152 by twenex on Sun Nov 9 08:11:04 2003:

malamen's last post means "[grex] was the only telnet server I could
find, and i don't know how to say this in English". "foi" is "[this]
was" and "achei" is either "i found" or "i could (was able to)
reach". ("unico" comes from the same root as "unique" and can mean
"unique", but here, as i said, means "only".)

The sky late last night was just crystal clear.  The 3/4 moon was 
bright, as were the many stars "aligned with it" in the eastern sky.  
Mars no longer stands out as the brighest "star" in the sky.

#127 of 152 by ah3133 on Tue Dec 9 00:29:08 2003:

thanks eric and aruba, i'm just interested in checking out the various 
discussions. i set up a grex account a while back because i like the 
text-based web hosting/browsing. i'm kind of fascinated with telnet, 
just because everything's web-based now, and i have an old computer 
from the 80's at home with a terminal program, and i'm trying to get it 
online, just to see what i can do with it.

#128 of 152 by naftee on Tue Dec 9 02:27:08 2003:

Voices voices everywhere.

Guess what I saw to-day!

I saw an elephant's heart bigger than your fist, a few foetuses in jars, a
fat-ruined aorta, a trio of skeletons, and a human digestive system, among
other things.  It was disgusting.

#136 of 152 by twenex on Fri Dec 12 16:19:16 2003:

Are human digestive systems allowed unaccompanied by an adult in the
Republican caucus? ;-P
