So I'm not actually new, but I haven't posted in... a long time. I just started posting again a few days ago (forgot how much I loved this site), could someone update me on any changes to the site, or just news that's happened since I've been gone?

Tropies are gone, there's now a Relationship Status in your profile, new spoiler policy, and that's all I can remember.

The cutlist was modified so that it doesn't lock pages upon cutting, the workshops got their thread cap replaced by an approval system like OTC does have, and there is a new tool that lists pages with a given pagetype/namespace combination.

Wait, does that mean that you turn into an ael beneath the light of the full moon?

And if so, what's an ael?

If you meet me have some courtesy, have some sympathy, have some taste. Use all your well-learned politesse or I'll lay your soul to waste.

Is it like an eel?

I wouldn't want to be a were-eel...

[Initiate completely serious response to joking responses] I'm using were in the context that it is a change, e.g. Werecat, which would be any species that turned into a cat. The most popular of these is werewolf, which is where the general confusion over the fact of were comes from. Also ael, iel, and I think uel(?) are always appended to the names of the angels from the bible. Using this, I created a word for my username, wereael. The context the word would be used in is describing a member of any species that turns into an angel or grows angel-like wings, temporarily. Chose ael instead because it sounded better. @Jimmyman_10: I don't think I would want to be a were-eel either.

It automatically formats camelcase words like that, as part of the markup. For example, NiceHat becomes Nice Hat automatically, even though I didn't put a space there.

Greetings,

your name has spaces because it has capital letters in places other than the first letter.

Hey I'm Ferret not a huge fan of introductory posts, I've always felt they are kind of awkward. I've gone on tv tropes for awhile now and I often find myself, like I presume the rest of you do too, with like a billion tabs open at 1 in the morning. Never been on the forums here before though, just joined, but if it is made up of the community that keeps Tv tropes great, then I'm sure I'll have a pretty rad time.

That's my dog Joey-Joe-Joe in my avatar if you were wondering.

Aww man it's so cute looking back at your first post!

He's a Papillon. He got really excited one time and tried to do a sort of back flip, but he fell on his head and got all embarrassed and didn't want to look anyone in the eye for the rest of the day
