Not sure how much would be involved, but is there a possibility of Brian changing the banner to include MEDIA?

A STEPHEN KING.COM
SOCIAL MEDIA EXPERIMENT

I am enjoying reading the comments that have been posted.
I think it might be the experiment part that had me twitching but it's too late to change it now or rather, too much work to do so.
I realize that. It probably has something to do with IP address checks in the software. Was just having a bit of fun with the glitch I experienced. Didn't mean to ruffle feathers. Kinda sorry I participated in it now.
Not to worry. Sometimes I come across as being upset when really all I'm trying to do is explain things. Probably should add the emoticons but sometimes that feels too cutesy. I really do appreciate your participating and I honestly have no idea which of the comments is yours. I probably could do a search on the IP numbers but frankly I have neither the time nor inclination and am just happy to have someone joining in. :love:

Nobody communicates more obtusely than I, Mod. I omit emoticons for the same reason you (perfectly) describe, and then must deal with being misinterpreted. It's a textual problematic. Humans can never communicate ideally, even face to face, not to mention via only the written word.

I've seen you, Mod, upset on only a couple of occasions, and never inappropriately or as if you were out of control (perhaps due to the fact that the Board is moderated, and so any such inappropriate posts would necessarily be deleted...). I wish I could say that about myself on the Board. I'm reminding myself of certain interactions I've thoroughly enjoyed with certain trolls who must've given up. :down: Sometimes I miss them.

Thanks. It’s just my luck when, for once, I’m not being my normal PITA self here, and go to post comments on King’s Revival media experience in the spirit and thoughtfulness of its intent... And I find it a tad funny that it still gives me a hard time. :) Nothing more, nothing less. I’ll try again later to make another contribution.

Thanks for the feedback on the site, everyone.

I'd like to once again encourage you guys to post to Prepare and to perhaps tell other online friends to make some submissions. We want the website filled to the brim with darkness. You're our soldiers! Go forth!
Especially during the hours of 4 PM - 8:30 AM EST, Monday through Friday. :wink:

I can't wait for this book to come out. Is gonna be published and translated to Swedish same time as US so
this time I can read it same as you and don't have to wait many years before it comes out translated.
I made a mistake once, with a book that was named the same in swedish and english. Wanted to buy the english version but got the translation instead. I read but after a while i went out and bought it in original language. I have found you miss some nuances in translation. No matter how good the translater is.

Two different comments posted ten minutes apart and this is what I get...

You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down.

Anonymous my a$$! :)
Funny you should mention this - I only posted one comment and that message came up for me? it comes up as a WordPress Error whatever that is.
Perhaps I clicked too fast on the submit button? That is freaky :biggrin2:

update - I went back and tried it again and got the same message - so I guess the site is backlogged?

I give up - is it true that there are no safeties on Glocks by the way? :pig_food:

I guess it is possible the load is currently too great for the server now that FB has been alerted?
