Searching for the sailor..... some irresistible (?) headlines for your posts on B-net-MBs!


yau! Updated june 2005!
see bottom!

Unfortunately they now have changed the design of Bowienet into something better called "barbienet" - all that pink and light blue... well, and, even worse, we also have to change our designs of some features to keep our chameleonlike mimicry...
(updated october 2003)

Seems, things have changed just a few days after this page appeared on bowiefun, as we can see on bowienet-journals and even the MBs: Sailor is busy at work now. We take that proudly as a success of the affords of bowiefun. But in our internal conference we decided not yet to delete the topic...
see here the original version from january 2003 (updated February 2003):

As a newbie on b-net I just was faced with a very strange thing happening there: Sailor is gone...vanished without leaving a trace...
Yes, it seeems, the main topic on the b-net-MB's is the absence of sailor. Certainy we have to respect his decision never to talk to us... (arghhh!!!) - but also we should never give up hope....
So, bowiefun thought about some interesting and irresistible headlines for our posts on the b-net-messageboards...

mb
No sense at all - boring!
mb
Oh, he won't even read, forget it!

mb
this shows ambition - but probably useless. Gives him a good snooze...

mb
So you try the honest way! But be prepared, he's lying, right now, when he opens his mouth...! But maybe you get a reaction...

mb
Ah, you could be right and this is the best way to catch him, wherever he's hiding... he is a quite curious man - but be prepared - you will have to offer him a really funny joke!

mb
Hawhaw... and what telling him? Eh? He will call his wife on the phone - and not You on the board!

mb
You really think he will answer to such a stupid offence?
mb
You really think he will answer to such a stupid flattery?
mb
provoke him, eh? So you may get a wonderful sailor-written "fuck off"
[this had been tested in 2003 by glitterrouge on the MB - but did not work - there was just some amusing
irritation by some loyal fans... ;-))]
mb
Ah, very good, confuse him. Use another language to draw his attention on your post... and he speaks a little bit german (as an old Berliner) - although this is just the title of a silly german shanty...(a bit modified...)
mb
Oh, god! Are you crazy? Best method to expel him forever from the board....
mb
...tasteless and racist! Shame on your jealousy! Well, not very pc - and useless, he would rather become a muslim than leave her! - maybe you just risk to be banned from b-net... - and, be aware, you really could cause serious trouble for the Bowies by spreading such a rumour these days!

mb
Now you ARE banned from b-net.
mb
What???!! Bring it to me! Immediately!!!

mb
Hawhaw, I get every day lots of SPAM offering me nearly the same... he won't even look at it... and if... you have something to show...?

mb
Oh-oh , little expert? But beware! He could jump out the window reading this!!
mb
good idea, I'm sure he'll read it, but he won't answer...

mb
maybe this gives him a good laugh (look at point 5)

mb
minimalism rules.

mb
oh yes, wonderful... a little quarrel! What's your problem? You are addicted to his music and his photographs and he takes all the money... right... not a good basis ... not really...

mb
well, that's just a test for the new design. These days we are quite happy with sailor's presence on the boards. But we hope, he has a laptop with him on that tour....
mb
seems at the moment, only this headline makes sense... ;-)
