who are the "characters" on the palm forum ?

But more accurately, some lurk now with little response and others interact more on fb, not as much under their own name, but in the International Palm Society group. I try to do a bit on both.

I feel out of the loop if I don't log in to Gmail, Facebook, and PalmTalk at least once a day!  FB can be a pain and subject you to unnecessary drama, but I like it to keep up with dog rescues. Plus it's just a convenient way to keep in touch with people because I hate hate hate talking on the phone.

I’m personally a little disappointed at the removal of the stumphead classification, I enjoyed it while it lasted. Actually all of those classifications are gone, juvenile, trunking, setting seed etc. Too bad 

Actually, they are still there. Just look at the profile of any some (not all for reasons I can't comprehend ) non-IPS Palmtalk forum members (like mine, I am a 'seedling' ).

The Stumphead designation came from a former member who called himself TreeStump Head and who got really wildly abusive. Too many meds, or, more likely, not enough. He was 86'd from Palm Talk, though maybe he still lurks, hopefully properly medicated . . . .

If it still exists, then I would probably not want the Stumphead designation myself for this reason (now that I know of it), unless it is just for fun .

Interesting and cool designation anyway...

@DoomsDave I have no idea what 86'd means. I think it has something to do with being kicked off the forum completely with all of your posts being deleted, though. Is this correct or is elaboration necessary?

@Palmsbro Your definition for 86'd is likely close when put in the context of the forum.  For a little history behind the term "86'd": https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=86%27d

Got it! Thank you, @kinzyjr.

Well that’s interesting, I see yours says ‘seedling’ I don’t see anything on mine and I don’t see anything on most other profiles after a quick few glances.

How about Bill (BS Man about Palms) when he was going through his 15 minutes of fame phase?

He was real happy, and polite, when he met 3 of my sisters there. I kept watching his hands but BS was a perfect gentleman.
