This is the last time I'm going to do this... 
Shall we begin with the standard rehashing of the rules that a handful of people never seem to quite understand? And if you're puzzled by the specificity of some of the rules--they probably apply to you.  Big thanks to Ale for compiling and streamlining the rules from social threads of the past.
PLEASE READ AND OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES CAREFULLY.
This thread will be run by the Fan Fiction moderators. Like all threads in Fanfic, all posts in the thread must be TOS compliant and any TOS violation (baiting, flaming, spamming, foul language etc.) WILL result in disciplinary action, i.e., a ban. Additionally, this thread will be moderated according to the rules set forth:
Social Thread Rules:
1. This social thread is part of the Fan Fiction Resource Board. It does not belong to any particular person or group of people. All users are welcome. As in the past, any concerns about the thread should be brought to the attention of ANY member of the moderating team.
2. This is a social thread not a chat room. IM style conversations, e.g., single word or short dependent comments, need to be moved to IM, PM, or an actual chat room. Conversations should be meant to encompass ALL users.
3. Back-to-back posts and spamming will not be tolerated. If the conversation dies down do not post simply to “up” the thread. (i.e. “This thread has died” or “Where is everyone?”) Additionally, using this thread to increase one’s post count is also discouraged. There are no prizes for big post counts.
4. If you snark, we ban. Keep personal feuds and unfriendly comments off the board. This includes negative opinions about the seasonal awards programs, other users, moderators, archivists, religion, social commentaries, or any other topic that might provoke snarking, or more importantly, hurt feelings. If you can’t say something nice, don’t say it. Keep in mind, putting tongue or “just kidding” (or some other derivative) after a comment, is not an excuse for a comment normally considered snarky to be seen as being playful.
5. Fanfic-related or thread-specific discussions do not belong here. Steering the conversation in the direction of a specific fic is not allowed. Posts on specific fics will be viewed as “pimping” and will be edited/deleted from the thread by a moderator. The user will receive one warning before further disciplinary action is taken, i.e., a short term ban. DO NOT USE THIS FORUM TO TALK ABOUT YOUR FICs. IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT A PARTICULAR FIC, DO IT IN THE APPROPRIATE RESOURCE THREAD.
“But why not? This is a Fanfic Board isn’t it?”
The logical rationale behind this rule is to ensure that this social thread is a welcome place for all users regardless of whose story threads they frequent. One of the chief criticisms about this thread in the past (and one of the primary reasons we are always hesitant to re-open it) has been that it has served as a private club for a small number of authors who used it to discuss their own fics and the fics of their friends. Use of the social thread as a “fan club” is not in the best interests of this community and simply unfair to all of the other users. Please keep comments on specific fics to the story thread, an appropriate Resource thread or PM. We shouldn't have to be this specific, since the rules CLEARLY state that you aren't allowed to discuss your fic, direct readers to your fic, or make this thread about your writing in any way, but LINKING your fic is strictly forbidden and in fact far worse than just talking about your fic. There are other threads in which you can link your fic. Take the links there, please.
Please also remember that this is NOT the place to ask for a beta, talk about a work you might be beta reading, or to promise someone you'll get their piece right back to them. There is a PM system in place for such communications. It is also not the place to chat with your co-authors about a story you're currently collaberating on.
6. This is not a role playing thread. E-romance, e-bickering, etc… and the drama typically associated with such activities is not permitted in the context of this thread. Users wanting to engage in this sort of activity should do so via IM, PM or in an actual chat room.
7. The general guideline for posting pictures is three per 25 posts. This is a courtesy to the people on dial-up. (average would be one pic every two pages)
8. Try to be inclusive of all users who happen to wander into the social thread (this particularly concerns newbies). Treat all users with courtesy and an abundance of friendliness. You never know when you might make a new friend because of it.
So, there you have it. It's the social thread. Enjoy it and post responsibly. Remember anything you say can and will be found with a simple Google search. Yup, it's all public.
Live long and prosper.
Han shot first.

*Walks in* Evening, everyone.
Everyone. "Jon!"
Allie. "Jonathan."
Ah, nice to stretch out and relax. My high-school reunion is this Friday and I'm semi-freaking out about it.

Feh. The important one is the 85th-year reunion. That was the one where they announced that I had won the tontine. Best $15 I ever earned.

Why's that Jon? Is "she" going to be there?
EDIT: There's always a "she". That's why I haven't gone to any of mine.

I went to both of mine. LOVED IT! All those popular people looked terrible and a lot of the geeks were looking fine.
It was most satisfying to walk by that old crush and think "Oh yuck..."
I've been spending the last few days going over my new Star Wars Vault. It's AMAZING.

Is this the same "she" the Monkees were singing about?

Hi, Lola64. *Waves*
Sadly, Ale, yes. There is a 'she'. And I think she will be there. The one...
VaderLVR, I'm one of those geeks. I've put on 45 pounds since High Shcool and am in great shape, 'bulking up' from 80 pounds to 125.

Whirl away lola!
MamaV, what ever is a "Star Wars Vault"?
Jon, I had one of those myself. Ran into her unexpectantly working at a Dunkin Donuts; with my little girl in tow. I felt kinda' bad later down he line when I found out how bad her personal life had become, and how regretful she had sounded at the time.

I've been surprisingly unstressed all weekend. It's funny how being out with a bad cold triples my laziness.
