Does anyone understand wanking practices?
marichiko: "Does anyone understand banking practices?"
This is called a clone thread. You'll love these.
I can't wait. :rolleyes:
I think you might have to....
This is called a clone thread. You'll love these.
This is called a
groan read.
You'll lose these.
Is that how it works, only I'm one of those older guys who are a bit slow on the uptake...?
@Cyclefrance: You don't actually post on these.
Then, why did you?:unsure:
Oh, yeah: @Flint
@marichiko: Just keeping with the spirit of "Helpy McHelperson"
You don't actually post on these.
Sure you do, just look at the This is Porn thread... or the Sandra Day O'Connor threads (I loved them :blush:)
Flint why are you trying to school us on how to make a message board suck? Your board sucked and now its gone - you should take a lesson from that, not us.
Sure, AudioGalaxy sucked so bad that people kept coming to an MP3 trading site for many years after it was sued by the RIAA. But, to your point, I believe that the number of "helpful suggestions" being offered is not coming from "us", as lothe as I am to continue lumping "us" together into this artificial category, but rather the opposite. Why do "we" need to be "schooled" on using a message board? Like I keep telling people, if I have any problems, I'll let you know. Otherwise, you can assume that if I am still here I am enjoying myself, without any outside "help".
you need to be schooled because you're coming into our yard and making an ass of yourself. you're certainly welcome to post, and you, in particular, seem fairly lucent. you should expect some fair amount of crap from the long time members, though, when you shit the board up with flagrantly meaningless threads. this is not that kind of teenie bopper message board. fit in or fuck off.
barak, anyone?
Audiogalaxy sucked so bad that it died. If it was so wonderful, one of you idiots could have gotten a pay pal thing going to keep the board alive, or even created a free site over on MSN groups. None of you seems to have the ingenuity to re-create AG on a whole new site for yourselves, so you just want to take over the Cellar and are surprised that the people already here might have a problem with this. I backed off and tried to make peace with you for Labrat's sake, but you weren't interested. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I learned my lesson. Labrat can love you folks all she wants, I won't.
@LJ: I'm just being myself. I'm not an ass-kisser, but I do have alot to contribute. You'll learn to like me, or not. My actions will not be dictated by these possibilities, because it is not within my abilities to influence the perceptions of others.
As a rational person, of course I expect to take shit as a "new guy" - in fact my only complaint has been the redundancy of these analysis/commentaries.
As to the "meaningless threads" - I've only started a few threads here, actually. If y'all would quit bumping them they would be gone by now - which I grow weary of explaining.
Also, the chronological age perception I have addressed in depth, and again I grow weary of repeating myself. You will percieve me as "fitting in" or you will have to < expletive deleted >
@marichiko: There is an AudioGalaxy imitation forum. But I like it here better. It's always funny when people think they are in a "fight" with me, and I thought we were just having a polite conversation among adults. You don't get to know a person in a few days - not in real life and not on the internet either. Oh, and for the thousandth time: who said I am "surprised"?

If you like it here better, why are you trying to turn it into adieu gaackasy? Making fun of a post where I expressed my frustration over being hit with a $300 overdraft from my bank is NOT "polite conversation." Hello?
And, no, you don't get to know a person in a day or two. However, when entering a new social situation, most people at least hold back a little and figure out what's going on. For example, most people don't just walk on to their first day on the job and inform their co-workers that from now on they will all act like the people in your old office did.
This is the first grade stuff, and it speaks volumes that we all are being forced to keep repeating it.

What? What are you talking about? Are you saying
I did that? ::: confused :::
Anyway, I
am holding myself back, but not so much that you don't have a chance to
get to know me. If I don't "fit in" here, why should I pretend? Let the truth be known, I don't like to beat around the bush.

Oh, for Christ's sake, even you can't think that I'm that stupid. Your wounded innocent act will simply not fly. I've also explained THAT to you all before.
I didn't say shit about your bank account (???) nor do I have any idea what you mean.
Why do "we" need to be "schooled" on using a message board?
i have been a little too busy to mess around with this whole AG invasion pissing match, but this quote from Flint sticks out a bit. i think there is a very basic misunderstanding here. Flint (along with some others) has lost a place to go and post in the way that he is used to posting. he (or she - i haven't paid much attention) stumbled into the cellar and saw all the meaningless BS we talk about here and assumed that the cellar might be a good fit for his posting style/desires.
Here is the real rub - we cellarites, in general, don't see the cellar as a message board. It is a community. Many of the people know each other IRL. although folks from all walks of life are welcomed (car guys, computer geeks, trannies, blue collar, white collar, addicts, and egomaniacs abound) we generally have something in common - a desire to hold somewhat intelligent conversations with a group of people that combined have a tremendous amount of knowledge. as is true of all groups of friends - we spend a lot of time talking about stupid pointless crap that makes us smile or laugh. but we laugh at many things because we "know" the person sharing the message.
if i just wanted random snippets of meaningless drivel in bitesize morsels i'd go to the local sportsbar and listen to the banter. i'd prefer not to see thread after thread started for no apparent reason. it makes it harder to find the gems when i am sifting through the BS (like this thread).
just my take on things. Flint - if you want to be a part of the cellar then Welcome. pull up a chair and join in - please just don't shit on the carpets. Tony just got them cleaned.
just a thought...
If I "stumbled" into a group of people, after a few times of seeming to not fit in, I think I would politely carry my quest elsewhere as opposed to continually trying to redirect the group to my preference.
that's me though....what the hell do I know.
Also, the chronological age perception I have addressed in depth, and again I grow weary of repeating myself.
Yes, it must be frustrating to have people repeatedly assume that you're an idiot teenager. I wonder what you could do to keep that from happening?
well for starters im putting $50 on mari to win this one. and lookout stepped in with exactly what needed to be said.
maybe they'll get the hint that somethings wrong by by how all their threads turn into a debate about why they are here.
What is Mari going to win? She and a lot of other people are hair triggered because of the rough start the new members have had. OK, but I've seen effort on their part to adjust. Lets give them the benefit of the doubt and simmer down a little.
Mari thinks Flint read her banking thread and is mocking her. Flint says (I think), he just saw the title and thought up this thread.
Well, nobody can prove either, so again, what's she going to win? :confused:
Flint made a clone thread. It is a humorous attempt to take someone else's thread title, and change it a little bit, but turn it into something funny. Even if it just makes you look twice. Maybe you laugh maybe you don't.
Clone threads are NEVER meant as a way to make fun of the original thread, or it's content.
So, you may not think it's funny, but you should not be offended if it happens to be a clone of your thread title.
Oh, and to Kagen... I do think Flint and I like to debate on message boards. Something fun about hammering away back and forth striving for clarity.
Discussions are fun, jokes are fun, debates are fun, and even message board arguments can be fun. Because it's all just words on a screen. No one post can really affect you more or less than another, if you don't want it to.
@ Lookout: You got something against sports bar banter?? :eyebrow:
@Cyclefrance: You don't actually post on these.
... I'm able to post where I want... when I want... and how I want... administrators can put and end to this here... and I'll just go elsewhere... until till then... I'm in control of what and where I post... I don't need anyones help in dictating where or when or how much that will be...
Hey, this could be fun (editted that from 'is fun') - why?, well I am sure there are plenty more contradictions that might look good alongside each other - maybe we should have a Cellarite thread just for that purpose - it could give meaningless drivel a modicum of value....
Audiogalaxy sucked so bad that it died. If it was so wonderful, one of you idiots could have gotten a pay pal thing going to keep the board alive, or even created a free site over on MSN groups.

AG didn't suck, it was a great addicting site. Now that it's shut down there are at least 3 clone sites where AG'ers are flocking. I came here and like this place too. Lucky you!
And why call AG'ers idiots, mari? AG wasn't a message board of mindless nimrods posting nonsense and constantly bickering. It really is just like this place. A community. We know all about each other, posted about our lives there, laughed, and even cried together there (some of us). We're just regular people.
So, some new people come over to "your" site, and don't post the way you like. Why even think about it? It's a public message board. Anyone can join. And honestly, what's been so bad? I think though we've posted a lot, we've been fun, funny, communicative and occasionally interesting. A lot of people "got" the jokes, but I don't think you did. Sorry. But, it's not like we scratched all our posts on the hood of your car. It's a message board. Threads not deemed worthy don't have to be read.
I can't say I know one person on this board well enough to call them an "idiot" or an "asshole" (as seen in another thread today). Why get so upset? Chill and realize, we didn't come here shitting on your boards, we were happy to find a cool place, and jumped in. (And yes you could go cut and paste something I posted that looks like an insult to your message board, or whatever... but here I am now telling you... they were JOKES, and SARCASM, and playful. Never compiled with curses or direct insults, or outright rudeness.)
I've never held a "grudge" on a message board. And, there doesn't have to be a big lovefest here either. No reason to run so hot and cold. Make threads, comment on others you like, don't rush to judge other people. This whole thing us vs. them thing is silly. "We're here, we're dwellars, and you better get used to it."
...people are hair triggered because of the rough start the new members have had. OK, but I've seen effort on their part to adjust. Lets give them the benefit of the doubt and simmer down a little.
I have nothing but respect for your evenhandedness, Bruce. I try to be the same, but something nags at me in this case. It all feels a bit Jekyll and Hyde. If there weren't always an underlying sense of aggression, I think I could follow the line you are taking. Had a 'sorry, geuinely didn't mean any offence' line followed earlier on... well, that would have been a start, but cannot see that kind of reply happening - maybe I'll be proved wrong, which would be nice...
it makes it harder to find the gems when i am sifting through the BS (like this thread).
I think YOUR threads are BS!
(see... if I don't add a note that the above is just a joke, some of you may think I'm instigating here. actually what I'm doing is a little third grade humor: "You're a jerk?" "Oh yeah? Well I think you're a jerk!" "No, you are!" "No, you!" If he can say this thread is BS, than I can say his threads are BS... and of course not even mean it. Which makes the whole thing funny... to me. Although now I've ruined it by explaining.)
I have nothing but respect for your evenhandedness, Bruce.
I was going to say the same thing about Bruce. Probably the most sensible post in this thread.
Bruce is good people. He's always been our peace maker. I've said all I have to say on this subject, and I'm not going to keep repeating myself.
I understand that if you practice wanking you will become blind.
so steve, how DO you like your talking pc and brail keyboard?
:P
Hahaha! Cheyenne's here!
Practice? I've gone pro!
i love your smiley beating it's head into the brick wall. lol
reading this place i can see why you feel the need.
dayam! these peeps do not know how to let their hair down and have fun.
and....Audiogalaxy was one of the biggest and best music sites in the world. the fact that the riaa sut it down is proof of such.

Clone ya later! Tell me how the movie was!
Lookout: You got something against sports bar banter??
no, not at all. it just tends to work better face to face than in the written form.
has anybody else thought to themselves - "damn, these people have managed to make an entrance even less graceful than Radar's"?

It's more *emotional* age perception than chronogical. You clowns come on alike a pandemic-level bad case of high-school senioritis.
I've been here for decades, and even through many a classic flamefest never felt the need to use the ignore list.
Until now.
So, until Tony finally decides you've hit the Cellar "excessively annoying" bannage threshold:
[CENTER][SIZE="4"] *plonk*[/SIZE][/CENTER]
(You can look it up.)
On the one hand, I agree with Bruce because I have been observing this
forum for awhile and have hesitated to join because I have seen the abuse
dished out by long standing members that basically don’t want new members to join.
(Yes, it's obvious) On the other hand, I agree with some of the Cellar heavies that
he AG refugees have mucked up the works a bit. However, as I have been observing for
several months now, the AG virus was irritating even for me. My initial reaction was,
"NOOOO, you're messing it up!" But I think the AG refugees have made an attempt not
only to adjust, but to assert their own personalities as well. Nobody wants a forum
full of sycophants.
This is my two cents as an outsider. (Note: I didn't say lurker--I said observer.)
(MMMMM...fresh meat...)
:beer: Well, Hard, you're an insider now.
Thanks, Steve, but, as I have observed this forum for awhile, I think you have a few things to learn about the people who take part in this forum. I've read 80% of the forums and also read maybe 30% of the archives (depending on what interests me). Looking before you leap might be advised at times. That said, I don't find the AG group to be counter to the general Cellar idea--you just need to spend some time getting to know these people before you jump in head first. I certainly know more about them than they do about me. Not a bad position to be in.
Well, HardDrive, I don't see any need to look before I leap, or research the people here before I type. What's the worst that can happen? People will type insulting messages about me on a message board?
If you like to read everything here before you post, that's fine. But, I can't imagine one single problem with my style of jumping right into this or any message board.
Steve: I'm a noob as well. I'm just saying that these people have continually tried to tell you that this is not just a message board to them. This is a 'community' to them. Like it or lump it--you won't change them. It's your job to figure out if this is your "thing" or not. I'm not an "accepted" member of this board, but because I have taken the time to read their thoughts over several months, I have an idea of what they expect. I'm not saying this is democratic--I'm saying that this is how the Cellar was designed to be and they are protecting the Cellar against garbage. The Internet is chock-full of forums wherein people cannot spell, write, etc. I think they have given you guys more than enough welcome. Stop trouncing it. Read what the people in your "new community" have to say!
"fit in or fuck off"
awwww, someone wants us to conform. *pets it's head* nice dawg...
the movie was quite enjoyable. i especially enjoyed the laughter of the children watching.
:)
like harddrive, i've watched this whole thing unfurl. I have never seen such hostility towards "newbies" before, and I dont understand what all the fuss is about. just as in real life, if you don't like someone and genuinely dont give a fuck about what they think, well fuck them. ignore them. thats your call.
I totally get the desire to keep the cellar as it is, but if it is getting out of hand (which I don't think it is) go snitch to undertoad (who knows all about it already).
get over it.
jeez...........can we have a new subject please? this one is much more irritating than anything the "newbies" have done so far
I don't want to change anybody.
I do not think I am trouncing anything.
I think many here have been quite civil and welcoming, and I appreciate that.
I will post according to how I feel. I will be myself.
I won't ever worry about being "accepted". I was accepted the moment I registered.

but well said just the same... I appreciate it...
and hey there Chey... :)
@Ceyenne: You really don't know the extent of it. Calm down and start reading.
what can i say..I like lurking:blush:
What can I say... I like being informed...:heart-on:
Hi dev! ;)
i did read.
i have no high emotion in my post.
i was quoting.
I'm sorry I have a larger post count and a newer born on date than you have
why are you sorry?
why are you sorry?
I was just being a little sarcastic in a nice cellarite way... :cool:
and with this post I only have 599 before the mark of the beast has set upon me... :devil:
i'm sorry there was no need for me to ask..I am just tired..its almost dawn where I am...morning :angel:
"Fit in or Fuck off"? Surely if you could do either of these, you wouldn't need to understand wanking practices?
i'm sorry there was no need for me to ask..I am just tired..its almost dawn where I am...morning :angel:
Haha... I love posts like this.
*hands funky a cuppa jo*
thank you I am too tired to do it myself:zzz: why do I insist on staying awake? I am deficient in the gene/hormone that makes me go to bed. the birds are actually singing outside my window...
I am an idiot..thats why....*epiphany*...
(there is no emoticon for that, and no. I dont know how to spell it properly)
thank you I am too tired to do it myself:zzz: why do I insist on staying awake?
Because the need to post is addicting ;)
and, you are welcome? sugar? one lump or two? Creamer?

"i'm not even one of you"
"cars" maybe?
i would hate to think he is calling us names. how ever would i be able to live if he were? *cries*
i really do mean that. fit in or fuck off. it's very rude of you to barge into a place an announce that you are going to drastically change the furniture around. why would you want to join a board that resents the headlong knees bent advancing behavior that you exhibit? do you also hang around people at work that dislike you? why wouldn't you try to get along, and go with the flow? are you some type of johnny fucking rebel that thinks he's impressing the chicks? one of your drones keeps repeating that this is 'just an internet message board' and it shouldnt bother you what anyone else says. well, that's just plain old wrong.
this isn't just a message board. it's a circle of friends. for the active posters, we rely on this intimacy and shared knowledge. when some bunch of fruity ass clowns trips into the center of the circle and starts making fart noises and slobbering on everyone, we get the urge to strike you.
I won't hold your AssmunchGalaxy history against you, but fit the fuck in. act like adults. this is not a chat room.
Many of the regulars regularly donate actual cash money to the one guy that physicaly owns the servers, and pays monthly for the internet access that this board survives on......so it really is a privately owned message board. have some goddamned respect for the owner of the joint at least. have you figured out who that is yet? been to busy posting 'lol' and 'me too' to have stumbled across that information yet?
cock.

Well, thank you, Steve, nice of you to say that about my post.
Intersting array of responses. A cross-section of humanity, internet or otherwise. When a clash of perceptions knocks at your door, how will you react? Civilly? Belligerently? Inquisitively? With detachment? With obsession? The answer says alot about a person, or nothing at all. With the limited amount of information which constitutes our collective knowledge of the situation, I would venture to state that none of us are in a position to reach any definitive conclusions whatsoever. This bit of pop philosophy could also be the standard non-statement for any other situation which one desires to make the appearance of a statement about.

1. I can only speak for myself. I honestly don't know what is wrong with my style of posting. Please let me know specifically what you perceive as the problem. How am I not "going with the flow"?
2. My point in saying "it's only a message board" is equivalent to the old "sticks and stones" axiom.
3. I would think an owner would enjoy some new blood here.
4. I opened a paypal account this week just to donate here. I think all AG'ers should consider contributing, if they like this place and want to stay.
5. Hahaha @ finishing your post with "cock"
so it really is a privately owned message board. have some goddamned respect for the owner of the joint at least.
I figured that out a week ago. He's a nice guy, we get along just fine. No problems there. These "complaints" are getting frivolous.
This thread is FUNNIER than the Bump Thread.... geeze what a bunch of boobs....
Get over it
THIS is the ALIEN INVASION
We are posting ont the board site for "crap that doesn't fit anyplace else"
Welcome to the 21st century.
Now, get that expresso machine outta the way, and bring in a keg!
:)
*wonders if the "Ancients" here are human or territorial robots*
Get over it... THIS is the ALIEN INVASION...*wonders if the "Ancients" here are human or territorial robots*
Get over yourself. The "alienated youth" thing's been done before, long before you were born. Today's version is apparently but a pale imitation of a pale imitation.
Anyway, thanks for chiming in, so you can be added to my ignore list. (*plonk*)
Nice honeypot. Any more refugees?
Well, I'm glad we won't have to talk to ^^^that^^^ person. I avoid people like that anyway.
We are posting ont the board site for "crap that doesn't fit anyplace else"
Yes, and if you're in a public place where there isn't a room labeled "bathroom", feel free to squeeze out a turd in the concourse. The management will appreciate it as a hint that they need better signage.
Will everyone please read
Undertoad's post in Meta.
Thank you.:cool:
Thanks LJ. You have an uncanny knack for expressing my thoughts in a more coherent way than I can.
You da man.
Also, UT I love your metaphor. It has that lower chakra earthiness that we all need to keep us honest and grounded. Plus it has just the right amount of sarcasm.
1. I can only speak for myself. I honestly don't know what is wrong with my style of posting. Please let me know specifically what you perceive as the problem. How am I not "going with the flow"?
BJSteve,
From my perspective, you, Flint and Dev have (mostly) shaped up into reasonable cellarfolk. The real problem is that it looks like there will be a continual flow of new AGers (like Tiddybaby) that will need to be educated on our local customs... So, it's hard not to lump alls y'all together and say STFU to all of you.
I'm hoping most of them (those who have no interest in participating in this community) will get tired of our ways and leave. Just my :2cents:
ah lumberjim would love me! ;)
would i?
let's find out: here is a quiz designed specifically for the AGers. this is something i normally do if i think a noob has some promise. in this case, there are so many of you all at once, i think a blanket quiz that you can all take is in order. completion is optionally required.
1. Ketchup or mustard on your hotdog?
2. Righty or lefty?
3. Do you consider Fish to be meat?
4. Has your rash cleared up yet?

I am not spamming your outside of the "homebase threads"
This is a joke thread.
*remember don't go to regular Cellar threads, they maybe full of shitheads like the people that live in the past*
:2cents:
I like that
two cents action. But, I'm still not using smilies. That's just me.
@Tiddybaby: They are going to eat you. They were sharpening their knives when I first showed up!
@Tiddybaby: They are going to eat you. They were sharpening their knives when I first showed up!
no, we've decided to ignore this one. it's a conspiracy. marichiko will probably talk to him, though. she just can;t help it.
@Lumberjim. I noticed that you talked to Tiddybaby yourself. Pot calling the kettle black?
I really, really, really love you LJ! *gives LJ a big ol' lickery kiss*:lol2:
See? We're mean to each other, too - not just you guys!
Really, and I don't mean this in a snitty way, but we understand how message boards work.

mari, this was a recent decision. after i cussed him. now you know.
oh, and your use of @ before the person you're talking to troubles me. they've tainted you. go and cleanse yourself.
See? We're mean to each other, too - not just you guys!
This is what I was resonding to, with "we understand how message boards work" . . . Just an observation.
stop trying to school us.
Who is trying to school who? I am just
existing and
being myself, that's it.
1. Ketchup or mustard on your hotdog?
Both... I like the zing of mustard and the tang of ketchup...
2. Righty or lefty?
neither... I tend to think for myself and not with someones elses values already set in place...
3. Do you consider Fish to be meat?
sure why not... would you like a slice of tomato meat to go on that sandwich also...
4. Has your rash cleared up yet?
the last case of poison ivy has... the next however has not...
5. Camaro or Mustang?
I'll take the 68, 69, of either please...
6. Who invented the screw top jar?
Had to be a woman since they're the only one that seem to be able to open them with ease...
7. What do you like on your pizza?
Tomato sauce and cheese... everything after this is a bonus...
8. If the thunder don't get ya, what will?
Thunder may have caused a few heart attacks but the Lightning itself is far more dangerous...

From what I've seen... No...
10. Are you older than any of your Aunts or Uncles?
No...
11. Have you ever been arrested?
Yes...

14. Do you love or hate the smell of patchouli?
neither I guess... don't think it's something I'd like around me constantly though...
15. Best rock band ever?
For me... Lynyrd Skynyrd... only because I can relate to their music and lyrics more than others...
16. What is the sound of one Elephant clapping?
Applause of a single elephant...
17. What's that next to your monitor? no. the other thing.
I have a laptop with trackpad... so no mouse...
18. How old were you the last time you were in a fist fight?
Let's see... I'm 42 now... yeah 42...
19. If you meet 10 new people in one day, how many will be smarter than you?
None... that I would ever admit to...
20. Who were you in your previous life? Where did you live?
I was probably someone insignificant... cause I can't remember...
and this concludes the cellarite version of the SAT's... :p

This might be one of the best clone threads in a long time!
There're going to eat me?
lol,
ok
Eat ME
marichiko: "Does anyone understand banking practices?"
This is called a clone thread. You'll love these.
so far, I'm not loving these.
Flint made a clone thread. It is a humorous attempt to take someone else's thread title, and change it a little bit, but turn it into something funny.
Ah...like Word Association/Dissociation/Picture Association, only using entire threads.
Nope...still doesn't make much sense, although I'm all about funny.
If they aren't impressed by cloning
I DEFINITELY wouldn't bring up SOUPFIG :P
That's funny Messy, SOUPFIG is certainly NOT for them.
So what do you think of this place so far?
I assume you've dug up some threads.
Who is this? .. I'm checking it out .. I'm really looking for a good political site. Half and Half where people REALLY debate .. being almost the lone " warmongering neocon baby eater" at AG got so boring :(

He's on fire messy... I don't know if this is the place for me yet either... I'm still feeling these people out as they're groping me... :p
This might be one of the best clone threads in a long time!
Yeah - see what you did by saying no one should post a reply? - amazing, eh? Quite an impact and clearly an important lesson - all you need to do to get us incumbents here to act the way you'd like is just demand the opposite.:D
Well, I completely understand the confusion, but what Flint meant, yet did not clearly state, was... you're not supposed to respond to clone threads, but you can, of course. Mostly you can just read, chuckle and move on. But it's never bad when any thread gets attention.
I only know this because I've seen numerous clone threads, hundreds probably, some do get more attention than the original, for whatever reason.
Usually it starts out with a post such as "good one" or "ooooh lame". :)

General opinion is that mine tend to be lame - I can't understand this as I think they're fantastic. Worrying....
From what you say it seems there's more to cloning threads than meets the eye... I think they would be more interesting with a clone the clone approach or else they could give the wrong message to the uninitiated reader, clone-cloning makes it more sort of, well, communal ( if you know what I mean, and I think you do...). Not that I'm trying to set rules or anything (don't want to start that issue off again...!:eek: )
either way theyre a terrible waste of time
How much time do they waste though, really? You read a line on a screen and move on. I like them because they often make me smile.
Well, maybe it's the fact that we're not used to this sort of item, plus the underlying suspiscions about our new members caused the wrong reaction. Easy to jump to the wrong conclusions, and as soon as you do.... well, we've seen what happens next from both sides.
I can see a potential plus side to them once their purpose and harmless intent is taken on board. Think it all happened a bit too fast for us to take on board objectively. Anyway, I'm happy to go back to the beginning of the thread and give this one the heavy groan it deserved - better try harder next time Steve (sorry, that should be Flint - edited but thought I should leave my mistake).... banker/wanker is a bit old hat, after all.... I think even my great-great-great grandfather would have turned in his grave at that one!
(hey, that was post 777 - that MUST be lucky!)
even "spanking" would have been better than "wanking"
Is that a personal insight....?
Haha! I do think "spanking" would have worked better here.
A groan mostly is what clone threads get. Glad cycle's getting into the spirit of it. (And Kagen a little bit too, hehe.)
Hahaha... "personal insight"! Love it.
I vote for spanking.... it's more fun and it removes that messy Catholic belief of having to shave one's palms...
777 is Gods number ~ just an fyi :)
That's what Stryper taught us in the '80's.
Hey I saw them, they opened for amy grant. i was not into hard christain rock at the time. i enjoyed amy though :)
one time we went and saw benny hester. he called all the children up to the foot of the stage. my daughter was about 3, she had her hands folded behind her back and twisting back and forth.....she looked over at the lil boys next to her and stuck out her tongue. benny stopped talking and looked at her and said: "you are so cute, do you know that?" she was sooo embarrased. haha. it was the cutest thing i had ever seen at that point in my life.
I saw Stryper too. I used to like them. Sad but true. I actually caught a Bible they threw into the audience. The bass player Oz Fox threw it right to me. haha!
one of my girls caught a "Plus One" bandana. they were in 777th heaven with that one.
now look at the "time" i am late for work. see what you do to me? ;)
talk laterz doll face!
*lurves her stevie*
Think might have found 'da musica' - get your mental beat-box going:
I ain't so good at cloning, gets da groaning
Forget da wanking - need da spanking,
To gets me Julie moaning.
Boyakasha!
It's me namesake, innit!
Now I really must get on with some work - I've got ships all over the place and cargoes to arrange and god knows what else to do this Monday afternoon here, in sunny Surrey, England, UK. BTW don't you guys ever sleep?

awwww.... love ya too, bye chey!
And remember... "He is the reason for the season." haha!
She and a lot of other people are hair triggered because of the rough start the new members have had.
OK, but I've seen effort on their part to adjust. Lets give them the benefit of the doubt and simmer down a little.
Awesome. Here's Bruce being pretty much the only person taking a sensible view. You all suck compared to him.
Hmmm...this thread was an interesting read. I must have been on sabbatical when this happened. Some things make a lot more sense now.
Now, whatever happened to that Mari chick?
[COLOR="White"]kidding![/COLOR]
that was am interesting read

I believe she may have perished in a tragic road flare accident...
No, Mari got banned, I think. I was one of the few who actually kind of liked her. The rest of you may consider that a warning, or at least, those of you whom I like.
Whew! guess I'm safe then.

still think i'm a prick?
I'm actually brewing a long post on a related topic......it's nearly fermented.....call this statement .....foreshadowing.....
pretty funny to read Flint being blasted as a newbie, and LJ blasting away at posters of meaningless threads . . .
i was egged on.....
...I'm so ashamed......
isn't it deliciously humiliating to read something you've written just a couple years ago? especially if you can see that you were being retarded and juvenile? I think so...
and the words are captured on this here net thingy 4EVAH!
whimper.
Please. Make it go away.
Great stuff. Apparently, cloney funnies weren't "cool" yet. You are ahead of your time, Flintster. ;)
LOL! "Fit the fuck in."
lol!! Ok...new sig.
i just reread through this thread and i have to say that outside of Flint most of the AG invasion did turn out to be shit. fortunately they floated away. I remember being pissed at the absolute flood of shit they brought in.
What's funny is that the "AG invasion" was 99% SteveBsjb and myself. The only flood of shit was the shit that we were stirring.
Aside from the two of us, there was one other guy (that I never even liked on AG) that was a total kiss-ass, trying too hard to fit in, and a few other people that only posted a few times and then lost interest. There were also a few well-behaved AGers that are still members here.
I find it funny that you still believe there was a "flood" or "invasion" of AGers.
From our perspective, there was absolutely a flood. No question.
(where "we" are long term dwellars who were here well before the AG arrival.)
fair enough. there was a not a literal flood of people coming in. But this is the cellar. it seems to be a pretty big month if one new person shows up and becomes an active, positive contributor. You and steveadfhadbfadfhaajob may have been the most active, but my perception was that there was a whole flood of crap. i don't remember the ass-kisser, but I very actively disliked that steve guy's entrance. you, i was cautiously optimistic about. in retrospect I can say that i have an instant dislike/distrust/disinterest in anyone that barges in and instantly has an opinion on every single subject and then plays the "it's only a message board" card. sure, it may only be words on a screen, but i consider the cellar a community of friends. i'm always looking for new friends, but i can be picky about who i like.
Why does everyone misinterpret my "it's only words on a screen" mantra? This is meant to HELP people realize they shouldn't get upset when someone is "mean to them" or insulting on a message board. I get the whole community thing, I really do, but I draw the line at being offended by a faceless post on a message board.
Glad people here seem to appreciate the cleverness which is a clone thread now. I hope newbies aren't being forced to "fit the fuck in". Message boards should be a melting pot. I think all my posts in this thread were quite calm, cool, and polite. I have never been rude first, but I will fight fire with fire (but only because it provides a momentary smirk - never an LOL).
The AG invasion was fun. It didn't ruin anyone's lives. It gave everyone something to talk about. I think it helped create your "Nothingland" too. And AG is still great too. Glad to see that Flint hung in long enough to fight the good fight and show that people from planet AG mean you no harm.
But, it is really only words on a screen you know.
I may start posting here on a regular basis again.
Was this the thread Marichiko talked herself into a permanent ban with? Gawd, she was crankish.
There you have it, proof she wasn't all bad.
