There used to be this really cool chat service called gabbly that a lot of us used, but it seems to have just gradually faded away (and got slightly annoying with the ads). Does anyone still use it?

Nobody does. It was just a fad on NSG. Isketch became the reigning thing after that (Ifreann: Gabbly is teh old.), and now it's just gone. Even I've stopped.

I R in there.

It was really fun for a while but now people just go with MSN if there's somebody they really want to talk to. Gabbly is actually kind of a pain, you can't reload your page and it's hard to keep up with threads when you're on it.

I don't think it'd be wise for me to go on there any more. I have parental controls now.

A lot of people moved to MSN, too.

Edit: *slow...*

Drats. See what I miss when I come back two months later. Migration to MSN!

DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

What for? You're smart.

You do? What happened?

Drats... I don't know anyone's MSN addresses.

I'm sorry, that first post seemed like a question. What I meant to say what "You all get back in gabbly - now."

Heehee, beatcha to it. :p

Well, if somebody likes talking to you on the forums, they'll ask you if you're on MSN etc. I don't know anything about you! Why don't you tell us?

That's never happened to me in almost two years here. . .

*points below my name* :p

You do? What happened?

Mom added them randomly one day when she saw a news report about how lots of kids are sexually propositioned online or something.

Sorry. I'll stop.

Btw, I can help you get around them...

They don't block anything. It's just that she gets a list of what sites I visit, so if I go to any chat thing she'll get mad.

That's even easier. All you have to do is use a proxy server and then all she can see is the proxy.

Really? Do you have any friends on NSG?

Have you ever been sexually propositioned online?

Yeah, but I don't want to decieve my mom like that, not after she removed the random site blockings that she had originally put on. For some reason it didn't stop me from logging on and posting at certain websites but it kept me from logging off, and it blocked the wikipedia entry for manatee.

Not really. Woohoo for being a loner in two different dimensions!

Well, you know. The manatee is a very arousing creature.

I would say two different theatres of life, since you're still in the same dimension.

Alright Fleck, I've gotten permission to send you a TG about something.

Well, you know. The manatee is a very arousing creature.

It also blocked the wiki page about dugongs.

Sea cow.

Good point. Also, why does FF register theatres as misspelled?

It also blocked the wiki page about dugongs.

That's what people look at when they can't reach the Manatee.

Well, you know. The manatee is a very arousing creature.

"Hey, sea cow!"

"I'm not a sea cow, I'm a manatee."

"Whatever, sea cow."

"Manatee, manatee please!"

Not really. Woohoo for being a loner in two different dimensions!

I'm your friend... right? :fluffle:

I'm your friend... right? :fluffle:

Of course. :fluffle: But I don't talk to you on MSN (on moral grounds, of course).

Just. . . This (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_anxiety_disorder) may be a good explanation of my all around problems.

THIS WILL NOT BECOME AN EMO "PITY FLECK" THREAD.

You are in the right place, my friend. I gots teh social anxieties too. :cool:

"Hey, sea cow!"

"I'm not a sea cow, I'm a manatee."

"Whatever, sea cow."

"Manatee, manatee please!"

I love Jim Gaffigan!

Also, I'm on gabbly!

Yay! I first saw that routine on Dr Katz, of all places. I loved that show, so sad it was canceled.

TG back.

There are many reflective surfaces in my diamond of unhappiness.

EDIT: You know what, that's a poem.

Doesn't the manatee kind of look like a guest on the Ricki Lake show? "Uh, Ricki, I'm here because I'm endangered." Then one of those mean people in the audience would offer up the advice, "Yeah, I want to say something to the sea pig!" "That's sea cow..." "Whatever. Sea pig, you gotta get yourself an education and a job!" "Uh, I live in the ocean." "It just so happens you live in the ocean 'cause you ain't got no job!" "I don't know what you're -" "You gotta get in Weight Watchers, some kinda program!" "I have a layer of blubber to keep my body warm in the water..." "Whatever, talk to my hand."

Of course. :fluffle: But I don't talk to you on MSN (on moral grounds, of course).

I think I had that at one point when I got nauseous whenever I was around people...but I got counseling and it got better.

AAAAAAhahahaha! SO awesome.

I still get digestive issues sometimes, but I try to just work through it. Fake it till you make it, that's my philosophy. Now.

People should get into Gabbly again. I'm currently in there with Galloism.

"Hey, sea cow!"

"I'm not a sea cow, I'm a manatee."

"Whatever, sea cow."

"Manatee, manatee please!"
