Well I have determined that this website has gremlins. And thanks to alanna we have named a couple of them.
We have Peekaboo who reveals hidden boards to anybody that wants to see them. Who alanna had the priviledge of meeting.
My personal pet is Wires, who I know is chewing on my satellite wires so it only works when it wants to.
ladyidril has met one that is combining her posts and mine together making them a jumbled mess. I think she called that one Gollum.
So if anyone out there has there own private Gremlin that just loves to make their life difficult please feel free to introduce them to us. As a matter of fact, I'm sure they would insist. If not you might find yourself tied up in your christmas lights later this year.
Well ta,ta for now. I'm going to go feed Wires. It is before midnight right? Anyway he's begging for a drink of water.

Current list of Gremlins and their descriptions:
[glow=red,2,300]Peekaboo:[/glow] Shows people hidden boards.
[glow=red,2,300]Wires:[/glow] Chews on satellite wires making your internet conection not work half the time.
[glow=red,2,300]Gollum:[/glow] Combines members posts, istead of seperating them as they should be.
[glow=red,2,300]Redo:[/glow] She tells you to redo a message, because it's too long.
[glow=red,2,300]Insomnia:[/glow] I think most writers suffer from this one. It's pretty much self explanatory.
[glow=red,2,300]Caffinia:[/glow] Helps Insomnia, and totally makes you jittery.
[glow=red,2,300]Obligations:[/glow] Keeps you from being online 24/7. School and family fit into this one.
[glow=red,2,300]Bad Link:[/glow] This appears at the worst times and ticks everyone off.
[glow=red,2,300]NoAvatar and NoIcon:[/glow] These go hand in hand. Whenever Avatars and Icons don't show up on a forum.
[glow=red,2,300]TYPO:[/glow] Just ask Alanna.
[glow=red,2,300]Trojan.Vundo:[/glow] Don't we love the ever present Virus threat on the net?
[glow=red,2,300]APATHY:[/glow] Not getting anything done, because your just too darn numb.
[glow=red,2,300]Smartie:[/glow] This one's another of Alanna's. Sugar, hyper. Small children. Bad combination.
[glow=red,2,300]Geroof:[/glow] The sound your parents make when they find you on the internet late on a school night.
[glow=red,2,300]PM Problem:[/glow] I want my messages. Give me my darn messages.
[glow=red,2,300]Migrania:[/glow] Be very quiet, while this one's around.
[glow=red,2,300]Idiocy:[/glow] If you can't figure this one out, then it's one of yours.
[glow=red,2,300]Funnybunny:[/glow] She looks like a cute little bunny, but she loves to delete your reviews.
[glow=red,2,300]Food:[/glow] The need to eat that takes you away from computer.
[glow=red,2,300]Sugar:[/glow] Just ask Alanna.
[glow=red,2,300]Bodily functions: [/glow] Do I really have to put this one? Alanna says yes. This includes the need to go to the loo and the F*RTS let out by boys that drive you from the computer room.
[glow=red,2,300]Delayed Email: [/glow] When it takes 24 hours for an email to get to the person you sent it to. Darn I could have priority mailed it faster than that.
