... probably lionesses - about an hour ago.  They are blurry streaks!  I recorded it, but am not posting anything anywhere until NG clearly states its copyright rules.

 

 If anyone has this recorded, you will hear a very large splash after the animals streaked across the screen.  This splash was followed by several others that were not made by fish.  It sounded to me like an animal swimming or thrashing in the water.  There were large waves associated with the splashes.

Jayell,  Thank You for the link and the explanation. I have been asking for one for some time now. Still think the whole thing is whacked and that a NG explanation is warranted. 

To Carmen and Nancy and Miesy and anyone else who may check in. so sorry. We miss you. Hope you will come back given an opportunity. You better be handed that opportunity!!

Love Pete's Pond and love the forum and am still darn confused about the recent turn of events. 

We had splashing, bird calls and ripples :)

Wyoming, don't fret about it. It was a discussion on why some were no longer able to post here...that can lead to long debates that belong on a different thread...

 

 If moved would we know where to?

Not without manually checking all of the topics.  I haven't found any moved posts so far. 

I just made an off-topic-here post to To Lisa & NGS/NGM re: copyright concerns with videos  thinking it would move that topic to page 1, however there are now so many topics pinned to the top of the list that Page 1 is already filled with threads pinned to the top, so we now have to go to page 2 to see any other topics!  Please use the link above to check it out.

 

 

Jayell, I've sent you  a PM.  Also, thank you for the link to this thread.

The problem may be that I was a member back when the Forum got started, what?, 3 years ago...and then rejoined with my new email address.  My new profile does have the current email address, but there may be two profiles for me back in the wherever. 

August of 2007 was the first time there was any opportunity for us to join.  In 2006 we were all "Anonymous", and in 2005 different software was used.

It took me a long time to realize we were frozen in one spot.   And the sounds are very nice. Even a critter or two has past by.   Sure wish the Elephants would come back.   I wonder where they are??    

There is nothing going on at the pond, so I thought nothing of it being so quiet. Then I realized I had no sound ! Had to completely restart RP. Now I hear that bird that always keeps us company every night. So soothing.

There is no birthday thread that I know of. All, or most of the off topic chat is on the Let's Chat thead:

Guess Hide having trouble posting as we haven't heard anything from them in a while, esp about stuck cam...I thought it was my mind...being stuck in one gear, and going nowhere.

THere's lots of splashing going on, but no ripples that I can see...

Stuck cam...but I hoave to get back to the ol' job anyway. 

BTW, I didn't happen to notice any long debates. An explanation would have been appreciated however :)) Guess I missed it?

I have been thinking about this. And I decided that I don't really get it. With the exception of the occasional drift away from topic, I thought this forum didn't get particularly off topic. And that usually happens at a time like right now.  And usually someone throws out a reminder and all it back on track. I thinks folks have been pretty good:) So is relating a story that didn't happen at the pond but might relate to the pond off topic? could get murky:)

On topic...quiet at the pond. Insects and a bit of splashing. 

 Oh drat, H. Palmer.

The email I sent explained the off topic deletion and invited to you to post more of your lovely Pond related poetry. Your work is wonderful (I checked out your Web site). I'm sure all members would enjoy reading your work here in the forum.

Have you attempted to update your email address in your profile?

Thanks,

Mary

 Hi H. Palmer,

I'll try again later today!

Thanks,

 Hi Everyone,

I have requests from members to reserve this thread for Sightings and Animal Sounds at Pete's Pond. I have removed or moved to another thread posts that are off topic in an effort to keep the conversation moving toward Pete's Pond.  I need your help with this to be consistent.

Having said that, Happy Birthday, Michele, enjoy! 

Mary, NGS

Then why are the birthday wishes still here? I'm confused about this policy at the moment.

Happy birthday, Michelle! I guess it is ok for that to be off topic.

My apologies.  I will certainly stop posting poems to the forum.  Most of the newer ones will be availble in book form soon anyway.

Thanks,

Palmer
