What's up with the ' Inktomi Slurp Spiders' that come up in the 'Currently Active Users' section?

Ah! The Spiders!

This rather funny thread explains the arachnid invasion.

Is it just me, or is the icon next to the Shire RPG forum always a ghost or a padlock? Never a green ball? Is it supposed to be like that? This has been bothering me for a while.

The Shire is a locked forum in that only the moderators there can open threads. That's why it has the ghost/padlock icon.

When I put my mouse over someone's reputation boxes, the usual line for someone with 11 boxes is "X has mounted Taniquetil again". However, twice I have seen weird ones. The first time, it said "X wonders what happened to the reputation system." The second time, on a different person, it said "X steals taters from confused gaffers"

Is that supposed to happen?

Yes, that's normal - there are several brief, witty interludes in the reputations, between mounting Taniquetil the first and the second time. Those should be mentioned somewhere on the now closed Reputations thread - though you'll have to search a bit between chatty nonsense...

I can't figure out how to quote other posts. How do I get it to say "Oringinally posted by X:"?
