Welcome to Gatchamania! Leave your sanity at the door and come and join the mayhem that is Gatch. Imi will be along soon no doubt to frisk you to check your affiliations and make sure you have no concealed weapons. Seriously though feel free to read join in and post and tell us a little about yourself. I am sure Ashke and Elysia will tell you what a very friendly bunch we are.

We have a new member? And I wasn't.....well alright I haven't checked.

Sure, sure. You've been too busy elsewhere to check. Like, just what is more important than welcoming a new member? Ken, welcome aboard Gatchamania Express. Emergency exits are . In the unlikely event of loss of insanity, please remain calm; a member of the staff will rescue you. Please remain seated and observe all postings. No smoking outside of the designated frisking room. Your frisking team will be along shortly to finish the initiation. Cricket

Aha Its drive! but the silly buggers tried to register 3 times. I'll give him an email oo and fix the thread title

3 times? Drive couldn't recognize the brand new door? I can't wait to see when ImiCondor tries to drag Drive-Eagle into the redecorated Frisking Room. Does anybody remember what happened last time? You are late, you know, Drive? And you've got quite a lot to catch up! Hurry up and tell us what took you so long to come back? It's so nice to have you back here! Mei

bah .. it is probably a pretend Drive-ling, here to confuse us with petty resemblance to the last one.

You are probably right, Lyon, If THIS Drive doesn't talk at all. I think we can figure it out in the frisking room, soon. Mei

Drive, hmm, we dont need Imi to figure out if this is the real Drive we will know soon enough as you say. I think this should be a group frisk effort, one at a time of course just to be sure Well Drive, are you the same person we know and love from old or are you someone else pretending?

I am not late. You're early. I recognised the bleedin' brand new door all right - it didnt recognise ME! What's with the rules? No profanity, insults, offensive messages or material of a graphic or sexual nature, eh? Now THAT doesn't sound like the Gatchamania I know and love! How's a troll supposed to get in now? How the heck am I supposed to finish my PHd in Trollology with rules like that? Ah, well. Things change, the world turns and life goes on. *grin* So, this is the new house. *observes decor for 10 seconds* WHO picked that wallpaper? And what the hell is that thing in the corner? Katse must have lost her decorative touch or something. Or maybe Lyon picked it up from some hippy market down the road. Oh, man. It's really hard actually, to restrain myself from using vulgar or offensive language. *gives everyone a massive group hug strong enough to nearly suffocate them all* HOWDY Y'ALL!!! HOW Y'ALL BEEN?!?!? I've been sailing round the world, climbing up mountains and trekking through the jungles in South America...I lost Ken somewhere in Peru, after chasing him all over the Arctic, through Finland, lost him again in Prague, found him in Canada, lost him in Brasil, found him in Argentina and lost him again in some jungle near ancient Inca ruins. If anyone sees him, tell him he forgot his lunch and a clean pair of undies. I'm off to the pub!

Well...well...well...That's the original Drive, all right! What do you say, Firebird? Group-frisking action still on the way? Mei

*gives that cheeky little grin only black swans are capable of -- then hides the whip and cuffs behind her back* Ken? You're looking for Ken? uh uh I haven't seen him....honest. *scurries back to the room from where she originally appeared from - her harried writer looks on with a raised brow and a shrug* I don't wanna know....nope...Don't need to know... Hiya Drive! I think we met once or twice before, but chances are you don't remember me *sobs painfully at not being one of those striking chickies that leaves a mark forever in your mind* But welcome back!! Good to see the old team filling this place back up again. Woohoo!! May my lurking days be full of mischief and mayhem as you turn the world up-side-down!! Frisking? Did someone say frisking? SJ

*grabs Mei and Sj* Ok Driveling needs a proper new Gatch welcome girls so lets welcome Drive and show the new improve facilities. It is great to see you again Drive look forward to catching up with you soon. Given how crazy your KEn is it probably meant you had time to appreciate all the wonderful things in the places you lost him. Tell me is he still fighting with you? *pouncehuggles you* You come play with us often now you hear.

Ooooh, Drive, you must be special. I sure didn't get any fine print when I signed up; at least, I don't think I did. Never can tell with these artificial memory implants. Hmmm, maybe I should try something, just to see if I get caught.

Tell me is he still fighting with you? *pouncehuggles you*

*pouncehuggles you back* And er, anyone else in the vicinity! Yup, that's our Ken, still got the fighting spirit. He got jack of me beating him all the time *cough* *wheeze* and took off. It's good to catch up again! But I won't be making regular appearences, I'm afraid. Life is sporadic and unpredictable for me, as it always has been, so hopefully I won't have my account suspended!! How often do you have to keep posting?

well when you get to 25 posts you are considered an active member and just have to post once every two months. Hope that helps

ACK! So I should really just post 25 times tonight and be done with it! *grin* Hmm...well, looks like I need some al-kee-hol for that mission then! Brb!

You have a month from registering to make the 25 posts. So get plenty of alcohol!!!

Or you can email admin and try go convince him you're not an evil, nasty-type creature.

You could do an Imi and just count... you might even be able to get the numbers in the right order

Bwahahahahaha! Aaarrrghhhh! Merrydanny! You are tooooo much!! Man, has your tongue been sharpened by Galactor in my absence or somethin'? *shakes head, goes off chuckling*

Yeah but IMi counting and being put off is usual for us. Besides Imicondor is often destracted just set up a load of Triple BJ's and Imi is well gone. I am sure you all remember that

ACK! So late. Darn packing and moving and stuff.... WELCOME! Or welcome back...er...glad you found your way... (Imi, I thought you said he wouldn't figure out how to get back here!)

Hi Drive, I have a whole new avartar here...its of me in the nuddy, so if you want any frisking done.... and the emergency exits...we dont seem to have any. (is that one of the things Im not supposed to tell?) oh yes, we lost an awful lot of members when Cep introduced the new rules, turned out most of them didnt exist anyway. My fic will be back up soon.

*leans against the doorway of the thread, bathtowel slung over shoulder, .eyeing Drive, with an mischievous glint and smirk, casually tossing a bar of soap in hand. * Well well well. Too bad you lost Ken on the way back here eh? Badder still to have written in the Intro thread . *smirk transforms into quite an evil grin* Pushes Drive into a shower stall next to the Frisking Room to complete what Eagle-Ken had started over a year ago. Given the inspiration of Tengu's fics, Lyon's and Ninja's heady contributions to Gatch Yaoi, you SURE picked a bad time to come back and without Ken. Im sure youll be motivated enough with the insanity of the old members and encouragement of wonderful new .. to find him again.. *Slides shower screen shut behind them and will deal with snickerers who doubt my counting abilities right after Drive gets a little trip down memory lane wishing they had brought Ken with them..
