Oh, wonderful. I'm sure that's what Daniel Handler had in mind. Let's all donate money so that some 30-year old man who loves witchcraft and proving his intelligence to young teens by picking on them can get his name in the next Lemony Snicket book.
Grow up, Kobolos. If you want to spend your money on this auction, it's your choice. And good luck on winning. Just please go advertise it somewhere else.

This seems like a good place to add that any arguments between rival bids from now on in this thread will be deleted. Eh, with the possible exception of Tragedy, I guess, who is always welcome to post whatever he wants, it being his board and all. Keep to the topic at hand, please, which is discussing what name/word/phrase to use in the event that 667's official bid wins.

Gigi noted that you can spell "fire" from the letters of "six six seven forum". So if we stick with anagrams of that(which I think is the best idea) we could use either "Miniver Sussex Fox" or "fire" followed by some gibberish. I'll see what I can make out of the letters "sxsixsvenoum". Hmm, venom?

Grow up, Kobolos. If you want to spend your money on this auction, it's your choice. And good luck on winning. Just please go advertise it somewhere else. Perhaps you should realize that I ultimately have no interest in what Daniel Handler writes in his thirteenth Snicket book...perhaps if you had an iota of foresight you would realize that in nearly every post I made on this silly subject I was playing devil's advocate.
Were you not so dense you might realize: A) I brought up the name subject so the boys and girls would not fight afterward. B) No one in their right mind would agree that "Kobolos" should be the word (see example: Mr. Who) C) I attempted in my unique way to spur them to their goal of reaching the magic $500 goal G set forth...I was even prepared to make up the difference if needed at the end by "seeing the error of my ways."
Speaking of which, how much are YOU donating?
What I will not stand for is your inane babbling regarding my pursuits...you have not only attempted to insult my beliefs, but the beliefs of quite a few others on here with your "loves witchcraft" comment...why don't you educate yourself on the subject...there are quite a few threads on DD, or perhaps you should really visit: www.religioustolerance.org/
If I "prove my intelligence" to young teens, perhaps it's because any other adult that tries to come here and commune with other LS fans is ultimately dissuaded by a certain admin's apathy. Goddess knows if it were only you I would have given up on this place by now.

Oh, sorry. I wasn't really watching the situation from the start. Gigi just PMed me and told me to make you stop competing with her.
There's a different between apathy and not having enough time for 667. I hope you understand that if I wasn't so busy with other things, I'd be helping out more. In the meantime, I have chosen very capable moderators.
You, on the other hand, seem to display amazing time management. A job (I assume), a wife and children, and still you find time to delve into places like 667. Congratulations.
Again, sorry about the misunderstanding. Just goes to show that I really shouldn't be posting around here anymore because I don't see the whole picture like I used to.
Peace out Koby-G.
P.S. I wasn't attacking your witchcraft beliefs, you chose to take it that way. I was just characterizing you. I'm a very accepting person when it comes to stuff like that.

It's not that you shouldn't be posting, it's a simple matter of reading about two pages before you come riding to the maiden's rescue...I'm just a little miffed that after all this time you still don't understand my methods, or at least have a semblance of trust in me. Call it my prerogative (being the adult and all) to make sure that this thing goes as smoothly as possible, there is OODLES of trust being centered on Gigi, I just wanted to make sure all the ducks are in the proverbial row when this thing goes down.

I totally understand where you're coming from. I need an attitude adjustment. These days, when someone PMs me with a request, I treat it like a burden rather than a duty. I just rush to do whatever it is they want without first checking out exactly what's happening. I'll do my best to never let that happen again.
Everyone, keep making contributions. I'll add mine last.

Well, we can't seem to think of anything else..... Maybe Sunny can just say "Members!" or "Fans!" or something like that. "Forum!" Or something. I think you're on the right track. I think we really should come up with a definite name/word before the auction starts next week. Something short and to the point like "Forum" might be the best thing. I think Handler might mangle something longer like "Miniver Sussex Fox". (Also, I can't come up with anything better from "sixsixsevenforum" that contains "fire" like I'd hoped I would.)

I like "forum" also, but would let him know if he wants to be more specific about OUR forum, that would be great. He is very creative after all and could probably think of something really clever which we haven't thought of.

Perhaps we should have a thread in which everyone nominates ideas? And then a poll to vote on these ideas.
I can't think of anything at the moment...

I wonder if Handler would be flexible enough if we gave him like our top 5 choices and he could pick one.
1. Sixsixsevenforum 2. Miniver Sussex Fox 3. Forum 4. Missen Sixx Fourev 5. -- Don't know--
Throw out your suggestions, let's brainstorm!

How would that be encoded? "Ayesohyueedotproboardzelevendotcom"?
I came up with "fire venom sissux" for "six six seven forum" which isn't quite as good as the other anagrams.

I played around with "asoue proboards" on an anagram server and got some interesting phrases, such as
A bad poseur or so A bad rose, poor us Poe sours aboard A sore, poor Bauds Poor abused oars
