    • I was a lurker by following a reference from Fictionmania and then registered. There may have been something flakey with my tablet as I started to get nasty grams from administration that I was logged on to many times... Or else. (I think the tablet re-logged on when I woke it up.) when I clicked reply in my email it was always rejected as no such user. Went back to lurking to read the stories. Any ideas? I've just finished reading them all and drooling for more! Thanks

    • There is an anti-hacker login count implemented by the server. If you are using a tablet or other mobile device it's known that they do multiple logins and can trigger the warnings.

    If you do get accidentally locked out, just email the admins and they can turn your account back on.

    (Don't worry about it too much, most people never get high enough for the warnings, and it rare that you'll work your way through all the attempts allowed after you start getting warnings).

    Yep, as Phoenix said; that's just an automated mail from the system warning you that you've logged in enough times that you are being tracked as a hazard to the site. It does this to prevent people brute forcing login attempts. And you're absolutely right in thinking that it is probably due to your tablet making a fresh connection every time you wake it back up. Especially if your wifi shuts down while the table sleeps (which many do, to save battery usage). It's not a big deal... even if you do get high enough totals to get locked out, it'll just be temporary... and if you want back in before it clears automatically, you just have to poke me to reset it for you. :)

    If you are done reading the canon stories from both the Original timeline and the new Second Generation stories, don't forget to check out the Library for non-Whateley stuff from our resident authors. Also, Check out the Fabrication Lab down in the forums... that's where most of the fan fiction authors are posting their work.

    If you've read all that... there's at least one thread around here somewhere with recommendations on other things to read. But we should probably look into setting up a links and recommendations page.

    • It's worth noting that the "logged in too many times issue" usually only occurs if you checked the "remember me" button.

    Hi!


    Great Nagrij!! They were standing next to the cliffs edge with the raging waters below leading into the bottomless vortex of the unknown.

    Gee I wish I was there when you did that. :-p

    To save them right?

    Saving them is the reason for you to be there right?

    Right? :(

    I sure hope so, Phoenix. Unless Ibi just has that much of a hankering to brave the great unknown, which is kind of worrisome in and of itself. :blink: :dry:

    Sure, whatever. Believe what you want to believe. I believe in tootsie pops, Oreo cookies and deep dark pits.

    I think the number is randomly generated, because one day I saw 12, 4 and 23 in that order.

    Who am I?

    Can I condemn this man to slavery?
    Pretend I do not feel his agony?
    This innocent who bears my face
    Who goes to judgement in my place
    Who am I?
    Can I conceal myself for evermore?
    Pretend I'm not the man I was before?
    And must my name until I die
    Be no more than an alibi?
    Must I lie?
    How can I ever face my fellow men?
    How can I ever face myself again?
    My soul belongs to God, I know
    I made that bargain long ago
    He gave me hope when hope was gone
    He gave me strength to journey on

    Who am I? Who am I?
    I am Jean Valjean!

    And so Javert, you see it's true
    That man bears no more guilt than you!
    Who am I?
    24601!
