Got out of town on a boat
Goin' to Southern islands.
Sailing a reach
Before a followin' sea.
She was makin' for the trades
On the outside,
And the downhill run
To Papeete.
Off the wind on this heading
Lie the Marquesas.
We got eighty feet of the waterline.
Nicely making way.
In a noisy bar in Avalon
I tried to call you.
But on a midnight watch I realized
Why twice you ran away.
Chorus
Think about how many times
I have fallen
Spirits are using me
larger voices callin'.
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten.
I have been around the world,
Lookin' for that woman/girl,
Who knows love can endure.
And you know it will.
And you know it will.
When you see the Southern Cross
For the first time
You understand now
Why you came this way
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from
Is so small.
But it's as big as the promise
The promise of a comin' day.
So I'm sailing for tomorrow
My dreams are a dyin'.
And my love is an anchor tied to you
Tied with a silver chain.
I have my ship
And all her flags are a flyin'
She is all that I have left
And music is her name.
Chorus
Think about how many times
I have fallen
Spirits are using me
larger voices callin'.
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten.
I have been around the world,
Lookin' for that woma/girl,
Who knows love can endure.
And you know it will.
And you know it will.
So we cheated and we lied
And we tested
And we never failed to fail
It was the easiest thing to do.
You will survive being bested.
Somebody fine
Will come along
Make me forget about loving you.
At the Southern Cross.

WOM may have hit the nail on the head.

It's just possible that site coding reads a nick with 'exiled' in it as the nick's 'status'.

It took a while to 'ring around' to check that it was NOT due to an Admin input.

Perhaps just not the world's cleverest nickname...

hey maybe in some way to some, WinC is their Southren Cross..?..
nice idea anyway

...Popped back for a sec...(flu going round and so /me is stuck on Nurse duty)...

Had to dole out a few more ((((((((((HUGS)))))))))) real quick-like.

Jafo /me will be careful not to rename herself ADMIN_Shmoopy...

okay...

((((((((HUGS KISSES HUGS)))))))

/me is in a happy mood

thanx guys and girls!

Shmoopy...
Can you try logging out and back in again?

That 'should' reset the 'exiled'...

Did...twice...still there

I'm an outlaw...where's my pea shooter?

no biggy...

In the words of ph00ey...'owl be bok'

/gotta ski-doodle!

/me should try renaming her name to Administrator Elfkura..........

That was a long read.
Hi Shmoopy ((((Hug))))


btw I think someones boats sank a few days ago I didn't think it was appropriate
Please don't shoot me.

englighten me, Iben?

Well I checked Jm33s creations and the ratings seemed to low.
So I assumed some people may Have done something bad as payback for being mad at him.
I would not Know who they were.
But that is not the way to do things if there is a disagreement
My opinion.

Well, I've just been through the wallpaper section, and the only piece of work there I see from him happened to be ranked... a bit lower than average....

I must say though, whether it be getting back at him or what, my personal opinion was, it wasn't my taste. No, I didn't rank it, but if I did, it wouldn't have been such a great score.

I am not picking sides
the ratings should be sacred

it should, but that doesn't mean it's been treated that way. Just a mention though, I care nothing about the ratings. It has everything to do with personal taste

I just put that out there I will leave it at that.
Hope everyone had a good day.

Speaking of wallpapers and ratings....

How many pages of that wallpapers are there? It took me forever to get through 15 pages!

Those ratings were 'lowered' and are somewhat lower than prior to all 'this'.....which is two things....
Petty, and reprehensible.

Perhaps it's time to list criteria whereby a person WILL be exiled.

Sure.....

and if this was done by someone else, I'll ususally ask it to be sent through me so I can edit it... but since it's Jafo....

It happens all the time but not usually all of one persons at once. Usually just a persons newest upload.

Just a side note, people:

Rumors have that ratings are not being used as a vent for anger against someone else. If I find out who you people are, or if anyone is doing it, I'll be sure to flame your butt... get me?

"Rumors have that ratings are being used as a vent for anger against someone else." Correction of previous post.

SHMOOPY!!!

/me feels warm fuzzies coming on...

Big words Elfkura, but this is an ongoing problem . It has upset (quite understandably) more than few skinners in the past and probably will in the future. This is quite apart from recent events. Why is it not possible to tie the the rating to the author. Does this necessiate major programming changes that the powers that be are not willing to entertain. If so , how are you ever going to flame some butts.
/me hopes Elfkura can flame some butts, but...

I would just like to point out..... We admins have a little button that appears next to every skin, if we click it, it shows us every rating given to that skin, and who gave it, and when. Just something to bear in mind........

/me loves all his little admin buttons

That's a very reassuring thing to hear BoXXi. Hopefully it will 'assist' people in providing a fair rating.

/me always gives a fair rating, even for my less than favourite people - just how it should be
