Well, I’d like to say I shed a tear… but nothing quite so dramatic. The fledgling shard of Heroine Sheik previously known as Get Oral! is soon to be no more. Apparently, speaking for yourself is overrated, as are adorable avatars of questionable gender.
Anyways, to the few posters who did make use of the site: Thanks, and remember that material you published there is 100% yours (and grade A beef) so feel free to copy, paste, and reclaim it as your own before the site disappears.

To my mind, Get Oral always felt like the sort of party where the few people who showed up hung to the shadows, sipping their drinks, afraid to make eye contact with one another. Clearly, you needed someone who could really get the place jumping. :-)
P.S. You might want to reconsider having the NSFW Flickr pics in your sidebar on HS, for the sake of anyone who might perhaps visit HS during working hours . . . just a thought. ;-)

Okay, okay, I’m working on it. For the sake of convenience (aka because I lack other content) I’m posting five pictues of Hello Kitty toasters in their place. Don’t ask why. You don’t want to know.

I kinda consider this whole site NSFW, so I make sure no one can see my monitor when I go (I thin the hello kitty vibrator is what does it for me).
P.S. I kinda like the hello kitty products, they are cute. Of course I saw a micky mouse tv once that almost made me puke.

Coldstone: it’s not a vibrator, it’s a back massager. Duh.
Also, Malky has posted an interesting piece regarding reclusiveness in online worlds. It’s called Once a recluse…, and is definitely worth a read before we send Get Oral! to bloggy heaven.

Yeah, that’s how I feel too. Then again, I have no real work. And no real sense of decency ;).

I might have posted more there, um, if I had remember it existed. Sorry ’bout that….

I would have been more active, but I’m posting on so many damned boards as it is that I keep losing track.
Also, with all lurve and affection to der Bonster, I just don’t think there’s all that much to say about Sex & Video Games at this point.

Meh, apologies are unnecessary. The thing works if it works; if not, what can you do? Beside, the idea was to create a space where people could speak out. So if no one wants to speak out, that’s the way it is.

“I kinda consider this whole site NSFW.”
Text is just text: no one knows what we’re talking about unless they read it. And the HK vibrator is pretty innocuous-looking at first glance. Screenshots from that Jenna game? Not so much. :-)
“Then again, I have no real work. And no real sense of decency ;)”
That’s how we know you’re still in college. :-)

Maybe my co-workers are just more savy to, uh, ‘back messagers’. But yeah, we got some people that make it a point to read whats on others screens. I hope you cannot imagine the aggravation of that. The pictures are tiny on my monitor and I didn’t even notice at first :)

Any html format works fine–but Scott is really the guy to ask for details.

Wordpress doesn’t use a specific quote syntax, but it does accept an awful lot of HTML. The bold tag or the italics tag work best for citing other comments, in my opinion.

Excellent. Without a preview button, I was at a loss for trial and error.
