Steve, you are a noob, the mods have the ability to see our IP adresses, they already knew it was me before Saikoro told everyone.

Think for a moment, why did the mods have a problem with you in the first place and then reread your post. I have a saying, whoever uses the word 'noob' is a 'noob' themselves, as 'noob' is such a 'noobish' word. If you're gonna flame me, as I'd expect you to, think why I am saying what I am saying rather than reacting on anger, because think if I decided not to think, I would have flamed, sworn and completely on pretty much all of the posts you have made.

Or if you forgotten, you are one person quick to insult people, what Steve J said was light hearted

Yey! I removed the sig...

Drew G/Strong Bad is more than a sucker for punishment, he's just another kid with too much free time and nothing to do but return to the forum that doesn't want or need him.

I honestly feel more sympathy than anger because I too was at a point where I didn't know what to do with my life but spam and annoy people for fun.

Look, everyone would expect me to get mad at that post, but a few weeks ago you mentioned you had a change, which I respect, so I have no comment.

No, he IS Drew G. As long as he smartens up a bit from his Drew G days, I've got no problems with him.
Edit: Posted this before I saw his post....

@Strong Bad, I liked your other sig better...

Cattle and I live in the same place, but although I haven't met him I'm not surprised if his name really is Rustler, Cattle. He lives in Queens afterall My real-life name is Coke Can but I adopted this more non-New York sounding name to decieve onliners

They can be great to get peoples attentions, but it can annoy some people, and sometimes it depends on what people are doing, I hate it when someone nudges me or continuously talks to me on MSN...perhaps I should set myself to busy more often

Quote: "(NO my name is not Fat Albert)"

If its any relevance to you, my name is Big Gay Al....

Quote: "Look, everyone would expect me to get mad at that post, but a few weeks ago you mentioned you had a change, which I respect, so I have no comment."


As long as you keep that attitude there, then we can get along more easily and try to ignore your Drew G days.

Quote: "its just funny because it like NUDGE!!and your screen shakes and you freak out"


As any real nudge does, except you can't hit the other guy over MSN, unless the person is within distance. And do you know whats funnier than that...Llamas, why? Don't ask me...

Yey! I removed the sig...

Binghamton (upstate boonies) and New York City (da shizzle) are not the same place! The only commonality they share is both being part of NY State, thats all. Stop glomming onto my teh rockz0rz city man!!!

Don't think it particularly matters what people call themselves, as long as you recognise who they are.

From what I've seen, it seems that the new mods appear to believe that it's a "requirement" of being a mod here, as everyone of them who changed their handles in that style did so when they became a mod, not before.

Well with the exceptions of RobK and IanM, who've used their handles for god knows how long. (although iirc Rob did have a previous handle, just can't remember what it was)

I still miss a dude called Requiem, he used to be cool

lol Binghamton isn't "boonies," it's the third-largest city in the state (out of the 10-12 cities that are flippin' huge) And let's not forget that I could hop in the car and be there in literally no time at all... we're the gateway city so all of the upstate people can get into NYC Besides that, I lived in Brooklyn for a while AND my parents met and were married there, so I'm just as much a NY'er as you are I just don't currently live underneath the Major Deegan

If my parents met and married in Germany, would that make me German? No. Being bloodborn from Germany makes me German (about 1/4th i spose).

My whole point is, I live an hour away... it's not like I'm from fresh off the boat from Nebraska in the big city and calling myself a New Yorker I often drive into NYC to shop and whatnot because it's close enough that I can do that. And at least I was born here, unlike 99.9% of the other people who claim to be New Yorkers. And in my opinion, even if you were born and raised in Buffalo or Rochester you're a lot more of a New Yorker than any of those "imported" people I'm proud of where I come from, as any other person from NY would be, and there's nothing wrong with pride (unless it involves hate crimes).

Agreed. Half the time I don't know who is sending me a message. And when they do have a name, it's one different from the forums.

sheesh."


I know isnt it stupid? I mean, its fine for it to pe the persional message to show your fealings at the time (atleast thats what AliM does), but... the name?

Quote: "Quote: "Who is Exeat now?"

Dave J"


Nope, he's Billy Bob Thorton.

Quote: " Megaton's just upset cause his real name isn't cool. "


...Or anything else about him.


I dont think it mattars WHAT your name is, forum or not. As long as it isnt... jsut plain stupid.

Chris B is my name (the "B" stands for breaux which is pronounced Bro), and I just threw in the = thingy so Apolo would like it, cause Lee's bro is ChrisB .

Personally it doesn't matter, but if you constantly change your name (unless everyone hates you of course), then people won't remember you.

So you are still three quarters of a **** then? I'm assuming here that you are also Saesneg (translated means Scum. Or close enough.... )

My mom is black and my dad is Italian.. I'm always trying to deep fry linguini but to no avail. But one day, if I try hard enough, I'll master the recipe and open a restaurant with deep fried pasta and make millions of dollars

Probably been done in Scotland I would have thought. Either that or it's on the list. Honest to god, they live in a surreal otherworldy zone where everything is deep fried. Apart from sucking at football I suppose they have to reach the top at something And before you say it, I am half Welsh (born in Cambridge I'll have you know young chap, and don't you forget it...) so I can be choosey when it comes to the great and beautiful game (when you don't watch Millwall that is)
