Nope. But registering locks down your username.

This is fucking awesome!!

[OscarQ]

I'm not much of a PCE regular poster but I lurk all the time and I'm so happy to have an option other than FB.

And, I know the board isn't snarky or that much of an entertainment source, but I'd like to put a plug in for the D&R board. Any chance we can add it?

ETA: Must have been added while I was reading this thread. Thanks!

It's working.
The smilies aren't janky.

Now quick someone lecture me on how the term janky is racist, so it will feel like home.

Oh hell, I just called something jank yesterday. Is it really racist? Because, you know, fuck.

[gpw]

well, fuck it....I'll join too...

This is the first time I have heard the word "jank."

I am going to need a complete education on this word.

ummmm....me too. What the hell does that mean? I wonder if dictionary.com will be of use? Off to check.

[secretlyevil]

dictionary.com was no help so I'm sitting here waiting for an education on this word. look! color options! How awesome!

[glow=red,2,300]Boo! It didn't work.[/glow]

Janky is like busted.

"Adjective used to describe a person, place or thing which is questionable, fucked up, wrong, strange, broken down, undesirable, and/or just some thing you can't think of another word for."

Janky is the new wonky.

I say "janky" all the time, because it seems so inoffensive. I had no idea it might be racist. How disappointing! Is it?

I thought wonky was the new janky. I've been using the latter longer than the former.

Dude, I just took a look at the boards listed under general and I think we've almost entirely recreated the nest.

[Lucille Bluth]

It's fucking insane how quickly this happened and caught on. There are almost 800 members and there have been 3,500 guests today.

Seriously. It is all kinds of awesome - even if we go back to TN (and I think we will), we can always reminisce about the great escape of 2012

And we can all say we were here from the beginning. Sah-weet.

It's crazy. I think there were like 30 members last night.

While this board isn't that pretty it actually works and is easy. I am not that anxious to go back to the nest.

I've never heard janky until now. I've been hearing wonky for over 10 years. As in, "We can't vanquish demons because Piper's powers are wonky."

i LOVE proboards- i've been part of 3 of them for a while now- my local NJ nest board moved over there a few months ago and everyone loves it now.

i love my app, too.

Being PC all the time is kind of exhausting. So is it racist? Is wonky racist? I use it all the time.

[y4m]

I just made up the possibility that it's racist, for the record.

Because so many random terms are, according to us.

[Deleted]

Janky ain't racist. YWIA!

Agreed! It's the nest promise land!

[IIOY]

Jank/Janky is definitely not new, but I've been using wonky far longer. I was sort of surprised when wonky seemed to catch on in Nestville because I don't know anyone aside from me who uses it IRL.

Wonky is used irl in my household but I don't think I've evere typed it in a post. So now you know someone else who uses the word.

[pixy0stix]

I use wonky as part of my daily vernacular.

[epphd]

Well hello! Glad I found you all. Amazing how... easy this board is. Why again is it that it is soooooooo fucking for the nest to be similarly functional?

[heightsyankee]

I use wonky. I actually got it from my husband, who says it all the time.
