Know as The Fiends -- Vijay, Selket and Jacques set the standard for the Catster forums. They were the first moderators in the forums and taught us all that they knew. I don't know if you ever went to Dogster forums. They could get rough and nasty. Catster forums never did that because the Fiends put their paw down right from the beginning on anyone who tried.

Yes, his mom loves that picture. Typical Tonkinese aquamarine colored eyes.

Yes, it certainly is a beautiful picture.
Oh, I didn't know that the Catster forums were nicer than the Dogster ones. Some of the humans on the Dogster forums were mean and smart-mouthed. It seemed like the furs in the groups were friendly and nice, but the humans in the forums were mean.

Us Catster moderators never understood why the Dogster mods let them get away with so much. In our family's case, we had dogs too, so our dogs could moderate the Dogster forums, but the "politics" were altogether different there and we didn't want to step on anyone's toes so we stayed in Catster.

There is one very nice and friendly family from Quebec, whose very nice mom types with a bit of a Quebecois accent. She said that over on the forums, they insulted her English! I was shocked, first of all because it is scarcely noticeable, but more importantly, how mean to mock her! I would like to see them type in some language different from their own!!! I am sure they would not be able to do it nearly as well as she does.

I think you have told me before, and I'm sorry I forgot, but who are your dogs?

Oh, she's Canadian-French! We love the French language. Like I said, our dogs went there very seldom, but if they would see someone being insulted we would jerk their posts out of the forum.

Oh, Amber, I remember now! I knew that!
I don't think Rosco ever met any of your angel dogs. I think I remember you mentioning Pharaoh though.

That wasn't the Sheba who played at doggie connection, was it?

Pharaoh was an Irish Setter/Great Dane -- beautiful Irish Setter red. He was the only boy dog Mom had. All the rest have been girls. All of our dogs were on Dogster. When Mom first started she posted there and someone jumped down her throat with a snarky answer. Well, Mom wasn't speaking as Amber, she was speaking as B'Elanna, our Airedale. Airedales back down to no one. Without being snarky, B'Elanna posted back and a Dogster moderator jumped in to calm everyone down. That's when Mom stayed in Catster.
No, our Sheba was an Airedale.

Rosco stopped in the forums occasionally, but he didn't like everything he saw there. It seems like they would've been good places for getting advice, but a lot of times it was a place for insults. People would ask for help and instead they would get insulted.

Well, it did seem like there were a handful of dogs that would be snarky. There were a few "safe" forums like the games, memorials -- stuff like that.

Are your Catster and Dogster pages saved on the Wayback Machine?

I don't know if Rosco ever played in game sections of the forums. If he did, I don't remember. I think we only played in the game sections of the groups. Well, my typist is nodding off. I am going to say good night for this evening, but I will stop back into the Mardi Gras party on other nights or days this week
