Title: a few nice and clean buckling spring M's
Post by: agbiotec on Mon, 21 December 2009, 15:05:23: Here at this seller's store on ebay:

From the pictures all the boards seem pretty clean, and all cost around 25$ + 10$ shipping. Good for those who want their first buckling spring (or for those who painted black theirs, and want a new one = me).

What's the deal with tinyurl'ing things anyway? Those kind of links always make me suspicious...

I use it a lot (and many, many others) to micro-blog on twitter.com

There another shortner: http://bit.ly

Post by: ch_123 on Tue, 22 December 2009, 03:31:28: I know what they are, but I was asking what was the point in doing it in the first place. When you post a URL, it automatically becomes a link. There's no advantage to shortening the links, and it just wastes your time doing it.
