It seems so.

I don't think you're an idiot.

When I tried to login w/my info from last year, it led me to what appeared to be a blank page. Going to the password-reset screen produced the same result. And going to my personal page from last year returned a 404. (Firefox, XP, maybe I'm the idiot.)

Holy crow, I think I spoke too soon. Way, way too soon.

what if nobody knows me yet?

posted by Stewriffic 11 February | 17:01

Okay, so I was perfectly able to log in, whereupon I received the message "It isn't Valentine's Day yet. Check back later..."

I was, however, able to read my valentines from last year.

Get drunk and dance on the table. Everyone will know you!

you're not an idiot. I'm one and you're never at the meetings. actually nobody is at the meetings since nobody can remember where they are.

I'd forgotten how funny some of the ones from last year were.

I just want to make clear that upthread, I was answering the "Valentine's Day gig" part of the question, *not* the idiot part.

Bunny Love is indeed alive and kicking again (with some exciting new features because I got bored one day).

You can sign up, log in and sort out your password issues now, in preparation for the big day. Drop me an email if you have any problems getting in.

initapplette, don't be silly. No worries!

And jon, LOL.

And, yay! Bunny valentines!! I am FREAKING PSYCHED!

posted by tr33hggr 11 February | 17:40

The restraining order expires tomorrow, so I'll be able to participate.

Yay!

Oh, I cannot wait (though I know I must). And luckily, V-Day falls on a Thursday, a day that keeps me trapped at my desk until 4:30 pm. :-D

posted by initapplette 11 February | 18:10

i forgot i sent out so many, many of which were probably never seen.
This is why there is no love at the bottom of my cold cold robot heart.

I am embarrassed to say I only just now saw the lovely bunnytines I got last year.

I wasn't even aware this site existed. I just registered and logged in to find unread valentines from a year ago. Man, am I slow or what.

posted by Daniel Charms 11 February | 18:35

I love Bunnytines Day.

This makes me so happy. Technology spreading love.

I'm, like, so stoked I just typed stoked. I couldn't send last year because I was on travel, but DID spend a lovely evening with BP and Mr. BP. I will make up for it this year, sending annony-love a-plenty! There's a phrase you don't see very often!

posted by rainbaby 11 February | 19:03

Hahaha, I just reread mine from last year and realized that virutally every one of my Valentines denied having a crush on me...I'm not exactly sure what that means. I must have been the mercy valentine of MetaChat.

posted by Frisbee Girl 11 February | 19:03

It means I'm not the only liar on Mecha.

I'm still on my wanderings, but will make a point of sharing in the swoonariffic Valentiney goodness. I had no idea last year's were still there; re-reading them made me grin goofily and sometimes laugh out loud. That was so much fun, it was.

Thanks, chrismear, for making this anonymous outpouring possible. Hmmm...that sounds a bit squicky. But not necessarily in a bad way. Er...yeah, in a bad way, which is not how I meant it.

posted by elizard 11 February | 19:12

Yeah. Technology is awesome.

posted by Daniel Charms 11 February | 19:16

*makes list of bunnies to send Valentiney goodness to, or annony-love wishes (good phrase, rainbaby!)*

posted by redvixen 11 February | 20:15

I signed up. How does the whole thing work? It looks like you can *get* valentines, but how do you send them?

posted by Stewriffic 11 February | 20:41

You'll be able to send valentines when it's Valentine's Day!

posted by chrismear 11 February | 20:46

Ooooh. So only ON the day. Gotcha. Thanks! I got a paper valentine in the mail today. Hopefully I won't forget to do it!

posted by Stewriffic 11 February | 21:14

oooo yay!
::readies slings and arrows:

Would it be possible to get a list of everyone who's signed up, or is that too non-anonymous?

posted by casarkos 11 February | 22:15

Yay! I can't wait 'til Thursday!

posted by jrossi4r 11 February | 22:22

For those worried they won't get any, fear not! We generally do a thread day of where people announce if they're signed up.

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 11 February | 22:32

And it's very common to send way more than you get. So don't feel bad about it, just let your imagination soar.

If you check the archives from 2006, I think you'll find that mike9322 and I wrote the book on being a newbie attention whore.

posted by Eideteker 12 February | 07:47

OMG! I just found mine from last year too!

I'm all snurfly now.

posted by Frisbee Girl 12 February | 13:17

Reading the Valentine's I sent last year reminds me just how evil I can be. It's going to be hard to top!
