A strange craft appears on the horizon....

...touches down in pianoworld.com.... (mechanical clunking sounds)

... door opens... (hydraulic whoosing sounds, light spills out)

...A foot steps down...

Bob from pianoforum steps out...

"Greeting Piano World members! I come in peace."


Hello! I'm from pianoforum.net. I actually registered on here a long time ago, at the same time I registered on pianoforum.net. I've been posting over there for some time. Recently, some pianoworld "refugees" came over, so I thought I'd check out where they came from.

(extends hand of friendship on behalf of Piano Forum)

Nice to meet ya!


Oh this is freaky.... I'm going back now...

(returns to home forum) lol....

Hiya, Bob! Stick around awhile. It's not nearly different over here as you might have been lead to believe. Well, except here, it's daytime. You guys post in the dark. Kind of like we're the Mario above ground, and you guys are the dragon underworld. I keep waiting for those fireballs. (If you aren't old enough to have played the first Nintendo game ever, you won't know what the heck I'm talking about.)

Jodi

Too bright?

Welcome!

Ok, does anyone else find this whole thing sort of amusing? I mean really? I do. (well, when I'm not ticked off at Mr. K, I do - he really needs to make better use of the "just joshing you" smileys)

Jodi

Wrong thread.

cool...

BBobb,

That was brilliant. The best enterence ever.

I am a fan.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

OMG. I think I just might be losing my mind.

Jodi

That's what you say to all the girls (and I guess boys).

jf

Welcome welcome!

lol.... It is bright over here (puts on sunglasses).

I do know the Nintendo. It is funny. I recognize a few faces from the people who crossed over.

It's like a bizarro piano world. lol... very amusing.

Can I get notifications over here? in pw I mean?

what's a notification?
(hi i'm apple - i'm a member of pianoworld - I hope you feel comfortable... We don't know how to turn down the lights.)

*Snicker* She doesn't know what a notification is. *Snicker*

My dearest Jodi, you're not losing your mind, you're just drifting a little too far from the force. Come back when you're ready, we'll be waiting.

My dearest Yodi, your training is nearly complete. You have made great progress in your journey from the dark side back to the light side. Keep it up, Yodi.

Notifications are when the site sends you an email when someone posts something (a reply or even a new topic) at least that's what the pf does.

I found Yahoo Instant Messenger can alert me when I get a new email. So, while I'm online and someone posts, I get a YIM alert (althought it can be a little annoying sometimes). It makes the forum'ing experience a little more interesting and quicker.

You guys reply so fast over here. I'm getting jet lag or something.

.... and a lot more animated over here... lol

we are a heavily populated and often comical planet

(What are we going to say if he says "take us to your leader"?)

I don't get these "notifications". I find that I am plugged in enough here thank you very ymuch.

Welcome BBobb!

Take him to John Kerry.

He will quickly leave.

Hey Bob, welcome over. I am still in both worlds and I have an open mind.

Glad to see you here.

jf

Ah, but out there beyond both the Light Side and the Dark Side and residing in the ether in between as if in those six extra dimensions of String Theory, there is a far more interesting universe that you can not see from either Here or There. The Student can become the Teacher.

I thought it was Bush who won..

My dearest Yodi, how enlightened you have become in your journey. You've done me proud.

I found this...
Email Notification of Reply
If you reply to a post, and then would like to know if someone else replies, check "Email Notification" under Options. To turn it back off, just edit your reply anytime and uncheck the "Email Notification" box. Note: It only effects the topic you were in when you turned it on, you won't get notifications from any others unless you reply to them (and turn it on).

on here...

Man, everytime I turn around there's like ten new replies. I'm getting dizzy.

(testing the email notification)

Here we go.... I'm going to have to setup a filter on my email for this.....

There's a notification button on the lower left of the "full reply" window.

this forum zips ..

you might blow your ship up if you operate that button at full capacity.

Actually, Bob, the preferred method to participate here is to park yourself in front of the computer for maybe 6-8 hours a day.

Preferably at work.

I think I'll be glad I set that filter up in my email.

I am concerned about the quality of the posts though. More posts, but maybe lower quality?

Are there any Bernhard's in this world?

I do remember all the buttons kind of confused me. Maybe that's why I went with the pf site. The avatars can be a little freaky too. I'm getting used to the light over here.

I have to go. Time passes quickly when you have one foot in each forum.
