Has anyone left a note giving directions of how to get here? I don't even know how to get back to the old place, since I never bookmarked it.

Uummmm...nope.

grasstains--I loved your comparison of the old board to "There Will Come Soft Rains!" It was spooky. And since we're speaking about the new board, did anyone else notice when you are at the home page and you click on Message Board, it says, "If you are not forwOrded to the message board within 5 seconds..." Wouldn't it be forwArded?

I didn't notice Hal's typo. I guess only a school teacher wood.

...and the link at the bottom of the screen to the Ray Bradbury HOMpage. I wonder if hompage should be pronounced like luggage, or steerage...

The OLD HAUNTS are here:

If you listen carefully, you may hear a distant Foghorn sounding. So be wary as you enter!

...and you may want to suit-up in your fireman gear.

How do you find the old web site?

Click on the "Old Haunts" address above, Bp!

I think dandelion made a reference to it first when she referred to herself as a robotic mouse over in the old haunts.

You guys are missing out on all the fun over there. We're burning "Favorite Book or Story" and a sea serpent is destroying "Inspired". The place won't last much longer.

OK...I'm not completely sold, but I'll agree to stick a toe back in the water over here...

There you are, you silly goose. It's Great to see you again. Have you taken a tour of the place? What do you think?

So, what's it going to take to keep you around this time?

We're checking flamethrowers at the door nowadays. Let's hope it lasts.

Ah, I see that changes have taken place since last I haunted these halls. It's so nice to view the member list and see so many names; a lot's changed in the four years these boards have been active.

But today I feel compelled not only to haunt, but to comment. Recently I foisted upon my students the first page of "The Crowd" and charged them with tracking down the author (whom I did not name) and reading the story to its conclusion . . . but only after composing a few paragraphs concerning how they suspected the tale would unfold.

Then, days later, I received as a gift the entire Ray Bradbury Theater on DVD. The very next morning, Mr. Weller's book arrived in the post. Suddenly I am again split like a tree by Bradbury lightning. My agent phoned and casually inquired if I'd written my thousand words for the day, and I blamed Bradbury when I said no. I was too busy being burned alive by his prose. My living room still smells of ozone.

To everyone who continues to engage in an ongoing Bradbury dialogue, I wish you all the very best. May the currents that passed through Mr. Electrico's sword and then through Ray's blood keep on scorching us, so that we too may live forever.

Once this was opened, and tied to the RB Board, I immediately made the decision to go with this one. It really doesn't make sense to have two official Bradbury boards. The other should be disabled.

Bu...That's...Oh, how very....very dark of you to say such a thing.
