what is the story with not being able to get to Babble so often???????? ever since it is on some new server we have trouble.
10:31 am
BzznBea
It's not on a new server. Dr. God hasn't had time to switch it.
10:31 am
penquis
shouldn't complain....Dr. God is keeping this site going with no compensation...
10:31 am
mkg
so why all the down times?
10:31 am
penquis
server problems...
10:32 am
mkg
i guess so. but isnt it still 25 dollars to join? i recall it was that amount but not sure.
10:32 am
penquis
there is no cost to join now...
10:32 am
mkg
really? wow. good to know.
10:32 am
penquis
it was $15 when I joined....
10:32 am
BzznBea
I think the $25 was for Lickety.
10:32 am
hokie carla
howdy folks! it actually was moved to a new server in 2025 that hasn't been good, so he said he will move it again.
10:32 am

i wont complain. i am just disappointed when i cant get on. thanks.
10:33 am
hokie carla
but I reckon he hasn't had the time
10:33 am
hokie carla
I think I paid $10 20 years ago, so I think I got my money's worth.
10:33 am
mkg
i recall the 25 dollars was so that i could either get chat or see the word stats or something..........i dont remember anymorel.
10:33 am
mkg
i got my 25 dollars worth as well.
10:34 am
penquis
it was to see the tile stats...
10:34 am

You won't complain, yet there you were throwing a fit.
10:34 am

aaah ok. thanks bea. glad you remember.

10:40 am
Dr_God
I just saw the chat. Babble "Pro" was $10 at first. Then it was $15 for a while. Anyone who remembers either has been here for a looong time. ;) Babble Pro gave you access to profile icons and maybe the Tile/Word stats? I can't remember; it's been too long. :)
10:41 am

yes.. I paid $15 IN 2007
10:41 am

Thank you for all you do, Dr. God.

It isn't my favorite ups and downs though welki

probably the best 10 bucks I ever spent
10:42 am
mkg
I guess i paid 15 then. thanks for the clarification. well worth the money! i love this game. thanks Dr. God for creating it.
10:42 am
Dr_God
As far as the server goes, I really do apologize. I feel terrible on mornings when I wake up and see that the server has been down for 9 hours. And on those days, I tell myself that I'm going to move the site to the new server at midnight. And then midnight comes, and all I wanna do is go to bed. :) One of these nights it will happen though.
10:43 am
penquis
well we appreciate all that you do!
10:43 am
rururocks
I for one would like it fixed though
10:44 am
penquis
aren't you the demanding one...
10:44 am
hokie carla
hard to believe it has been 20 years
10:44 am
rururocks
well.. it is a pain in the butt pen
10:44 am
penquis
it would be more of a pain if Dr. God said the heck with it and didn't fix it...
10:45 am
welki
<--- agrees with pen
10:45 am
hokie carla
maybe just warn us when you do the server move so everyone doesn't freak out again ;)
10:45 am
mkg
Dr. God, I assume you live in the time zone of chicago right? can you only move servers at midnight? i think if you can move it at any other time, that is ok too. it would be down for a bit i assume. but we are all willing to have no babble for the time it takes if you feel the new server will be better. and thank you for this wonderful game! it makes my day every day that I play. most of us love this game. but we understand if you need to move it.
10:45 am

we've offered to pay a fee or an annual charge, it's not my fault if he doesn't want to accept that
10:46 am
penquis
no, but you can be appreciative and not demanding...just my opinion...
10:46 am
welki
wow ru - you're being pretty harsh. no ups and downs, ins or outs, apparently
10:47 am
mkg
I am very very appreciative for this game. Now that i understand that this is a glitch of the server, I wont ever complain again! Dr. God, we are all your fans!
10:47 am
hokie carla
well, you can't please everybody. as soon as he made it subscription people would be complaining about that. and I for one am thankful I don't have to do yet another subscription of something.

Dr. God, you are younger than I am by far. so at least we know you are a male...........or is it not proper for me to guess or say that today? i am so ancient that I dont know what is politically correct anymore.

he chose a blue person
11:12 am
mkg
I am 78 years old and trying to keep my body in good condition by swimming almost every day. one mile a day in the pool.
11:13 am

so that would indicate that he does identify as male

what is a blue person? what does that mean?

I'm not non-binary. Just here. I hate medical forms that now say "sex assigned at birth." It was not "assigned." It was observed.
11:18 am
mkg
what i mean is she is not trans.
11:19 am
hokie carla
I don't understand the people who say they are non-binary but dress as one gender specifically. that's not really non-binary, that's picking one of two.
11:19 am
hurshy
gender might involve more than just clothing
11:19 am
Kaplan the Magne
There are a minority of cases described in the Talmud where the genitals are ambiguous and the rabbis do make an assignment. Hope they make the right one.

hokie carla
still no ollies on enable
11:21 am
mkg
sadly, there are babies born where they are not clearly one or the other. sad stuff.. i read of a person who at birth was not clearly one or the other so they chose male. when the person grew up, it felt more female than male and made the change and is very very happy now. kaplan how do you know talmud? i didnt know this was in the talmud. amazing. the talmud really does cover a lot.
11:21 am
Kaplan the Magne
I no somebody who says he knew he was a she because as a little boy, he liked black velvet. What I see is a tall gay guy trying very hard to be a female.
11:22 am
hokie carla
that's kind of an odd reason. guys can't like black velvet? and you mean the song or actual fabric?
11:22 am

many people have terrible struggles with this stuff.
