Oliver=love
i gotta see what is so cute

nevermind, it doesnt work on my computer :-(
Jordan
Now, Oliver. Don't get too discouraged if it doesn't work on your computer. It doesn't on most peoples computers. If you use FireFox, then you won't be able to view it because the code isn't formatted to function in Mozilla FireFox, as of now. If you have Internet Explorer (IE) then you'll be able to view it on the "HP for Christians?" page.

Would you like to become a member? smile.gif It'll sure help in boosting our member count closer to 100.

Oh, Annie. I have no idea what you're talking about - glimpses of footprints? You've got to be hallucinating! nerd.gif

I still have never seen these footprints, but i would really like to join S.P.I.M.F., and see these footprints once they are up and running (or walking) or whatever they do, since i havent seen them, id also like to say goodluck to patrick.

Hey there, Bitten by a Zombie.

If you try this link here, it will lead you to the area that the footprints are kept. Then type "snuffles" and you should see the paw prints. wink.gif
Jordan
Welcome Oliver, hp6 and Bitten! smile.gif Spimf was looking for you!

Two new members - or three, even. We hit the 100 member mark everyone - what's our plan of action as of now? Ain't there a holiday coming up soon, Razz? You know... holiday surprises. woot.gif Patrick, I hope you get these little furry buggers working before long - I've been needing to see them for ages! rolleyes.gif
Bumblebee
Well, Jordan , ... gniffle gniffle ... you know what to do to bring them back ... press that wrong button again.

Hey, I just got a great idea! You could post a date/time that the muddy footprints (and Snuffles, of course) will be back for a short period (say a quarter hour or so. Anyone online at that time will be able to have the Ingenious Muddy Footprint experience. If they are on for a short time, people will have to be logged on and watch out for them. Until they are back permanently, there could be more than one brief appearance.

Wouldn't that be fun? There are at least a hundred VTM members that will be on the lookout for that post of yours, and will try to be online at the announced time. And as a bonus, anyone who hasn't found their way to this S.P.I.M.F. thread will get a surprise that might make them into supporters as well.

Albus-wan
Hi there, ginny_girl14, and welcome to the forums! smile.gif

I see that you're new here, so I'd like to invite you to check out some specific sections of the forums. First off, there's a whole forum for people who are new to VTM that is useful for anyone who's here for the first time. You can find that forum here. Within that forum there are some great threads, but the most important might be the FAQ thread, which contains information on everything from signatures to searching and many other useful topics. You might also want to make your way over to the Introduction thread so that you can let everyone know who you are. wink.gif

The other section of the forums that I think you should visit is the Rules forum, and specifically, the Main Forums Rules, which have been established to help make Veritaserum one of the best Harry Potter fan sites on the web. wink.gif

In the future, could you please elaborate more in your posts. Even with your post spread across two lines because you pressed "Enter", you still have less than one line of text. We encourage thoughtful and intelligent discussion, which simply is not possible with so little text.

We also encourage people to read at least a few of the most recent posts. I understand how daunting it may be to read through so many pages of text, but even a few posts back you would have seen that the footprints have been disabled and will be until a JavaScript programmer can bring them back. Patrick has said he will do what he can, and we're all hopeful that he will succeed.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me or any of the Wizengamot or Aurors. smile.gif

Hello, smurfishpotteruver and Death Eater By Nature, and welcome to our little club of footprint lovers. Not so "little" now, with new members joining almost every day!

You have noticed that *snuffles* does not work ... indeed it does not, and this is what our club is all about: our dear footprints and *snuffles* were disabled because they were wreaking too much havoc on the VTM pages, causing browsers to give up, messing up other functions, slowing down processes, etc.

It is only because of our persistent whining and the creation of the S.P.I.M.F. that the matter was given any attention at all -- from a technical point of view, the footprints are a nightmare. We have been searching for a Javascript guru for a long time, someone who could create the programming that would make the footprints less disruptive on the site. Very recently, this person has been found. His name is Patrick and he is working very hard on a glorious comeback of the Footprints and *snuffles* .

Unfortunately, this takes time! So the only place where you can see footprints is here. *snuffles* doesn't work on that page either -- it works when you are typing (in a reply box) -- but you can see how the footprints look and behave.

smurfishpotterluver
oh my gosh!!!! thats soooooo cute!!! i have seen them before but that was a long time ago! they are soooo cute! yay! im so excited! i finally saw them!!
frznbug

Golden Phoenix

morsemord
I saw the footsteps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But what is S.P.I.M.F? nO-ONE ACTUALLY SAYS WHAT IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mad.gif
So someone please tell me!
Bumblebee
S.P.I.M.F. means ....

the Society for the Protection of the Ingenious Muddy Footprints ... founded at the time when the staff of VTM announced that they were wreaking too much havoc with the functions of the site to be allowed to continue.

Ever since then, S.P.I.M.F. has shown, through its membership, that there are a lot of people who care about them and want them back.

morsemord
Thank yooooooooooooooooooooooooooou!
Can I join S.P.I.M.F? How do you join? wacko.gif

Everyone seems to be typing Snuffles so here goes:

*sigh*

You know, I haven't been in this thread for a while so I thought I'd drop by, see what's going on...and oh deary, deary me...

This is degenerating into several posts of absolute bandwidth wasting rubbish, interspersed with the Aurors trying desperately to get some kind of discussion going.

I'm not so sure I see a future for this thread if all that's going on is 'ooh, snuffles, snuffles, snuffles...can I join?'

From what I can gather, Patrick is working on it, so the aim has been achieved, has it not? Maybe we can come up with something a little more constructive - such as if people want to sign the petition, so to speak, they can Owl an auror or wizengamot member to get their names added to the first post.

Newcomers - please read through a few posts before replying, then you won't need to post 'what's going on here' type things.

I'm sorry, SPIMF members, but really, if that's all this thread is turning into then it's going to need to be locked pending a volunteer to receive the PM's.
Louise
I'm reopening this thread just for a little while for a few reasons -

Firstly, to let everyone know that Bumblebee has volunteered to be coordinator of this thread, and so if anyone is interested in joining SPIMF, please send her an Owl so that we can get you added to the list of supporters.

Secondly, I am willing to give this thread another chance, but it's going to need a little bit more organisation than it's had up until now, which means a summary post placed at the beginning of a new thread explaining all about SPIMF and the members you have so far. Hopefully, it should bypass a lot of the need for one liners and 'snuffles, snuffles' posts that resulted in this thread being locked. So, if anyone is willing to help Bumblebee out with running this place, let me know and I'll start up a new thread for you.

In the meantime, I'm putting the lock back on. Please Owl either me or Bumblebee if you're serious about helping to run this. Please note that we will need you to have been a member of the site for a good while, have an excellent posting record and have the commitment necessary to check in here at least a few times a week. We really don't want to have to be replacing people all the time, so please only contact us if you know you have the time to help out.

Thanks.
