Right ho..

I'm gonna be straight here.. most of this crap is down to a lot of shaking. some of it by me. People were complaining about the shitty state this site was in so instead of complaining a few of us took more direct action. It resulted in a much more proactive zero tolerance policy.. which is good for a tech forums site.
Lets be honest here.. there was far too much bickering and garbage going on.. at last we managed to get attention and the changes that were needed.. (if you don't believe me ask dela about our night of serious irc debate on the subject)

Now some people may think things have become unfair and biased. I can report that is not the truth. It was important to get something done, and there will be casualties in any stir it up and see what falls out action.

About ireland.. he's probably just off on one of his "holidays". we know about them and understand how it goes don't we?? Been there.. seen it and got the t-shirt. He will be back when it suits him.. no worries.

in parting (going to watch Polly Harvey live at some huge thing in the states wot I just pirated off t'internet) peace to all.. no more warring.. It's coming to the end of a crappy year. Lets all just try to get along and remember the REAL mission of this site.... to allow fair use of something you have paid for.. no more, no less.

(dammit.. the site admin side comes out again)

regards to all my friends.. not listing them, you know who you are ;-) just saying.. peace.. no more stirring.. would like to see the last idea thrown to dela implemented.. the archiving of old stuff and closure of things that are solved/stumped/abandoned after a certain number of posts.

Aus.. please reconsider your actions.. I told you to keep your head down.. not go off on a strop (doing an ireland?.. lmao) C'mon bud.. it's never that bad... unless like me you need a new start.

oi zoso.. I like your new look.. much better. Didn't know you were a zep fan. battle of evermore FTW eh? peace bro.. why not start a "favourite zep tune" thread? I can go with that.

edited cos it didn't have enough bad language in it

Rumours that garmoon is human have been falsly exaggerated..

All we know about said subject is he has a mother... which implies a biological background.. whether that is carbon or silicon based is open to conjecture.

We had about 40 trick or treaters at our house and still had candy left over and that isn't counting the 10 pounds me and my boy gathered up walking around the neighborhood.

@Chris

Glad you liked it, I assume you are talking about DVD Flick.

Mushroom hunting. I watched Dr Strangelove and can't get Slim Pickens last ride off my mind. LOL Weird movie. If you've never watched it, give it a try. It's a pretty good comedy.

I still get a good laugh from some of the lines and gags they used. Pickens character name was appropriate, Maj. T.J. "King" Kong.

At this height why they might harpoon us but they dang sure ain't gonna spot us on no radar screen!
Did you by any chance pay attention to the characters' names? LOL Keenan Wynn had a good one, Col. 'Bat' Guano.

You can buy or rent a copy from Blockbuster. It gives me a laugh when I think of dangerous times, morbid humor.

Apparently that description needs some adjustment.

I'm not trying to stir anything or make anyone angry. All I'd like to hear is someone from the staff tell us what the SV is for and have it stated in the title description. I already know it's not for arguing with the staff.
I'm up with pacman on this one, it needs to be explained so no more members get banned for speaking there mind or put "Enter At You're Own Risk"

and I'm back doing what i do best helping nOObs or anyone in the DVD Burning/Media threads etc.. after almost 10,000 post here i have a little knowledge thanks to the great members of this site that i have learned much from and I'm able to pass it on, its the least i can do. and Janrocks lol about being a Led Zeppelin fan i thought everyone knew that I've seen them live a few times 1973/1975/1977/1979/1998(without John Paul Jones in 1998) so i thought the new nick would fit glad you like it. i would start a Led Zeppelin thread but we already have a music thread that i can post in "What are you currently listening to" join us there i post alot of great music most people like (not all though lol) well I'm off to go see Joe Bonamassa in Chicago so stay cool all!!


WOW MAYBE WE COULD ALMOST HAVE A GROUP HUG HERE lmao!!!

OT!!

zudzig (gerry1),
Hope you find a branch to land on and it holds you buddy. Just remember that you have other friends here and unfortunately this isn't a democracy it's privately owned and therefore privately ruled. Like it or not that's what we have here.

I know this statement might bring some questions but that's what we have here, just ask the MOD's...

LOCO is the same old LOCO........A$$HOLE from the word go.....hehehe...don't blame the messenger, just ask the originator...LOCO himself.... :P

BBMAYO nice post...

PacMan you too...

Ripper and billyboy.....you play nice.....you're my favorite kiddies on the site..... :D

For those of you that want to leave then do so.....THAT's the beauty of this site and all the others out there.....enter and leave when you want to....I'll stay for a while since I have plenty of friends here whether they like it or not.....hehehe....... :P

zoso, slugf**, and couple of others have impressed me with their "acceptance" of each other....WOW is all I can say...

the MOD's (ddp and creaky).....
I know you guys "bang your head on the wall" sometimes but please continue your patience with me and the rest of the member base when we go slightly OT or something similar. When action needs to be taken I expect it. I've followed the rules pretty well but I know for a fact that ddp has asked me to "follow" one before...lol I'm sure he doesn't remember tho.... :P

the MOD's (binkie7 & LOCO)....
I know you have taken on a "difficult" responsibility but you can do it. I haven't seen a BIG change in either of you but I KNOW for a fact that you have to change in some way to be effective at your MOST unwanted job. You guys know that the TITLE will in effect seem to make you different so don't take it the wrong way when someone says it. :P

ON TOPIC!!!

Halloween was terrible for us (ME).

Someone broke into my house but didn't get much thank goodness. I'm poor and have 3 kiddies so we don't have anything or any money...lol We weren't home so again THANK GOD for that. Get this they broke into the FRONT door. How big of reproductive organs do you have to have for that?? Anyway I replaced the FRONT door with a metal one and if they get in now it won't be thru the FRONT door.... :P

The kiddies went to the Fall Festival at our church so they had a little fun. NOT much candy tho. lol. THAT's ok tho, they don't NEED it!!!

Everyone is ok so tia for your well wishes.....

....gm

[img]quoted from creaky, "I think i need a break away from this thread, you are just talking absolute and utter nonsense now. Im off to ban myself and hit myself repeatedly with blunt objects. And if im still conscious after that im going to install Windows Me."[/img]
