Question for Teh Box:

What does it mean when it says "suspended" under someone's FT handle?
Does it mean they have been suspended from posting on FT?

Yup. Lengths of vacation packages available from your friendly moderators range from 7 days to forever.

Welcome to Teh Box! (yes, it is meant to be capitalized, to distinguish it from lesser boxes ) Nice to see some more representation from Asia - we're becoming the Global Center for Excellence in and PWP.

Correct. It usually takes something fairly egregious to get suspended. Someone must've been naughty.

All-Star games in general are . I say the NHL should ditch the All-Star format and make a break in the pro schedule every year for the IIHF World Championships, not every fourth year for the Olympics. The concept of pros playing on what used to be the highest amateur stage in the world irks me.

I know the odds of this happening are nil, and I for one would only miss the skills competition.

I see...I have seen a few "suspended" handles in the past few months and always wondered.

And also, good to see Bxers from Otter parts of Teh Wrld.

Howdy Box. :-:

Spent 40 minutes driving to get to work and didn't make it out of my township so I'm working from home. While I was driving the meeting I was trying to make it to was cancelled.

We're on the edge of getting profound as part of the pending blizzard. One forecast system says torrential rain, high winds and temperatures dropping 30 degrees in three hours. The other forecast suggests I should be testing the gas fireplace, carbon monoxide detector, and flashlights

Nearly all segments of March trip booked...

from what I've seen... mods are extremely lenient... but I guess excessively irritating isn't necessarily "naughty". I know I'd COmplain about at least one of them. ;-)
