The Bar / Edumacation And Enlearnment
« on: September 02, 2011, 12:56:30 AM »
During my time on the forum, I've noticed that we've got forumites with a wide variety of careers and educational backgrounds that have come up in random conversations, ranging from high school to a gazillion doctoral degrees in superspecificethnolinguistics (*cough, cough, Shecky, cough, cough*).  So, I thought it'd be interesting to see what sorts of educational backgrounds folks have.  I'll kick it off:

I got a triple major for my Bachelor's--History, Political Science, and Criminal Justice.  I've also got a Masters of Business Administration, and am considering a Masters in Strategy/Innovation/something of that nature in a few years.

Starting this morning, I've been unable to post new topics in the DF Spoilers, DF Books, or the Bar.  That is, the New Topic button just isn't there.

I got on this morning and the New Topic button was there, so I was typing up a new topic in the Bar, but when I clicked Post, I got an error message saying that I didn't have permission to post there, or something to that effect.  I refreshed and then went back to the Bar, and that's when I noticed that I don't have the New Topic button anymore...

EDIT: And I don't have the Reply button for threads in those forums, either.

There was a pretty good turnout of forumites at the signing in the DC area last night, but many of us didn't get to socialize too much beforehand or afterwards (due to driving home, work, what have you).  I've seen a few folks mention that they'd be interested in meeting with other Dresdenites in the DC/VA/MD area (Sihnon and SkinsFanVJ, and a couple others, I think).

So, anyone else interested in meeting together every now and then?  If there is enough interest, we could possibly meet somewhere where we could quaff beverages of an adult nature and chow down on dead meat (or dead plants, if that's your thing), and all have a good time convincing each other that our crazy Dresden Files conspiracy theories are the best ones.
