About half a dozen others.  None of it is true.

I mean, when have you ever seen praise for others on the Internet?


Ok I did it.
Can you give me the buck three eighty to my paypal account now?

I just KNEW the buck three eighty would turn out to be only virtual, just like our virtual personas. Futz.

Did the Bro-Rip-Love post get absorbed into Kishys virtual Ping!? I knew posting one more time after his x-large paste/copy might be pushing him. But I thought it was the absolute most valid time to suggest closing the thread he was trying to moderate, and making a case for the dedicated 'Battlethread' in each members subforum to keep the main forum cleaner. Maybe he lost his canuk cool and reported to iMav since the fonts don't get bigger than what he already used. No reason to delete the thread though.

Demand satisfaction and have the thread reposted but closed. In the meantime I'll go drink a bottle of rum and see what can be done about another Rip-Rant post.

I cried while I wrote it.

Here are my forum rules:

1. Tears, no fears.
2. Respect it, don't neglect it.
3. Treat it, don't beat it.

Max of 3 keyboards per user.
Any user found with more than the allowed amount has to distribute his extras throughout the community.

I hate misleading thread titles. Like that current urinating on monkey one. I thought there was a forum rule against it but I guess not.

I think there is a forum rule (as well as etiquette) on having a misleading thread title. It's for a good reason. The urinating monkey is just inexperience and a bit of a jokester, but it should still be corrected.

Moderators: No need to go and delete the entire thread (that's so Gestapo), the content effectively belongs to the users, which makes the forum what it it. Just send the user the info they need to make better decisions in the future, and maybe close the thread, so a new, better titled thread can take it's place.

Deleting threads is a **** move. Don't be a ****.
