The return of "You know you're an old school LPMBer when..."

[Angiepantalones]

You had something Linkin Park related in your name.
You bumped threads.
You had shoutouts in your sig.
You remember the two smiley limit.
Getting 1,000 posts was a big deal.
When someone was banned, their title was changed to reflect that status.
You remember the red and black boards fondly.
You made threads to announce you were going to bed.
The Rumors forum.
You remember when Patch hit the 10,000 post mark, and the party that ensued.
You remember the shit green Meteora boards and cringe.
You remember hake.
Glow text was a big deal.
Your eyes hurt when you think of the bright red and grey boards.
You remember when and why Tribio got banned.
Megabot.
Pink vs yellow.
You remember when Jason wasn't a mod.
Chat was always active and there were regulars.
Cat in the microwave.
The 50 million other versions of this thread.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Glow text was the shiz, lol.

[monkeylove]

heh... all too familiar...
smilies that would come out as text after 2... and wasn't it opened up for a bit and people went smiley crazy?
i usually used =] anyway
i'm still not sure which board colours were worst.
i remember patch.... and i remember someone (had 'eyes' in her name) with over 30k posts.
and tribio... but widget (george?) was more fun.

[polkadots]

lol, funny I can agree to remembering this BUT it was on another board. However getting 1,000 wasnt nothing since you could get that in a week or two, yes no lives, lmao.

[KerovinBlack]

good old days

awwwww :(

[Avii]

another thread how new boards sucks and old were great :p
God, guys, we already know that...

[KerovinBlack]

yeah well things change, ppl change, everything is chenging and its not coming back so we could just be grown up about it and let it be i guess :rolleyes:

haha :D

[Rob1]

The Red and Black boards...:(


sigh

[J.]

LP chat.....lolz GLOW TEXT YES!

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Ooh I've got another one to add. When everyone had that fading text in their sigs. Damn, I can't remember who it was on here who made that little program specifically to do fade text - was it Lex?

[KerovinBlack]

[J.]

[KerovinBlack]

its just so damned LONG to figure out lol, i wish there was a way 2 make it easier

Lol there is a Prgram for it where you mix the colour and it gives you the codes in the seperate lettersits quite easy

[Monty_Python]

You remember when the Layne Staley thread was a year old!

[Monty_Python]

Also, you remember the Barracks awards threads.

[Angiepantalones]

Ooh I've got another one to add. When everyone had that fading text in their sigs. Damn, I can't remember who it was on here who made that little program specifically to do fade text - was it Lex?

Fuck yeah IROTA! I've still got it too, hahah.

I miss the Barracks Awards. :(

[Monty_Python]

Fuck yeah IROTA! I've still got it too, hahah.

There was another better one. It was a website. I think it was cooltextthingy.com. Haha I used that constantly.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Fuck yeah IROTA! I've still got it too, hahah.


T'was awesome lol. I think I require a new sig and might go all retro and have the fading text again.

[IDwellOnThoughtsOfYou]

I remember Megabot. I wonder where that Swedish douchebag wandered off to.

[Angiepantalones]

~*~*~*~bump~*~*~*~

:'(

[monkeylove]

it was a lot of fun back then.
this is my first time back in over a year.
there are almost no names i recognise now... i guess some might have changed but i think most are just new

[KerovinBlack]

Also, you remember the Barracks awards threads.

yeah i remember that too shame they dont do that anymore:(

~*~*~*~bump~*~*~*~

:'(
haha yeah those were classic shame we cant do that anymore :(

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Lets face it, there's not really enough regular members to have substantial barracks awards anymore. :( Although maybe I'd have a chance of winning some if we did them now lol.

[KerovinBlack]

yeah thats true it be cool to win something for once :)

[Flames_Go_Higher]

I think the oldies around here should get a title anyway just for being here for so long.

[monkeylove]

have you changed your name?
if so what did it used to be?
I think the oldies around here should get a title anyway just for being here for so long.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

It was Flames Go Higher without the underscores before the board change.
It was 0_o for ages before that.
And I'm not saying what my first name was - so very embarassing lol.

[WrestlingChick]

~*~*~*~bump~*~*~*~

:'(

*humps Angie*

<3<3

[monkeylove]

ah.. it sounded familiar... and i figure i must've bumped into you. i think i started about a month before you.
on come on! now we have to know.. =D

Well, lets just say it had Shinoda in the name and we'll leave it at that lol.

Have you always had that name, or variations of it?

[Eleanor]

I remember all the things listed in the first post. I also remember that Widge and I hated eachother with every bone in our bodies... and now he's the only person I met from here that I talk to regulary, atleast once a week... funny how that worked out.

[Beauty_Fiend]

Damn, I can't remember who it was on here who made that little program specifically to do fade text - was it Lex?


I remember before IROTA, when you actually had to code it all by hand. :'( It took foreverrrr.

[Rob1]

Anyone remember my old sig?

Peter Griffin: You better watch who you're calling a child, Lois, because if I'm a child, then you know what that makes you? A pedophile. And I'll be damned if I'm gonna stand here and be lectured by a pervert.

I remember getting complimented on it a lot back in the day, someone remembers it.

[monkeylove]

Well, lets just say it had Shinoda in the name and we'll leave it at that lol.

Have you always had that name, or variations of it?

fair enough =P .. i can imagine.

yep. i wasn't able to get it back after the boards changed though so i just reregistered.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Ooh yeah I remember you!! I loved that quote!

Beauty_Fiend - Wow you really did it all manually? Must've taken bloody ages.

[Rob1]

Ooh yeah I remember you!! I loved that quote!

I think I got more attention for that signature than anything I ever said in all those years. :p

[monkeylove]

I'm not sure why you seem familiar.... did you have a different name back then?

[Rob1]

I'm not sure why you seem familiar.... did you have a different name back then?

just Rob...........

[monkeylove]

just Rob...........

ah. must've been someone else.
it's been a while.. =]

[Rob1]

Yeah. Just as well though, I really don't remember anyone personally from years back either. I just sort of remember certain things happening. I can't even remember the people I used to talk to before, really. :(

[monkeylove]

i remember a bunch but i can't remember all the usernames. sometimes a real name... usually the country they live in..
oooo.. hidey stuff... =]

[Rob1]

I think I talk to more people now than I did before. So that's pretty cool. :)

[monkeylove]

that's a good thing.
i'm really not sure if i have the time to spend on here that i used to... it was an addiction =]

[Widge]

You know you're an LPMBer when..

..you return to these boards months after you stopped caring and you see that absolutely nothing has changed and, in fact, has gotten worse and that little part of you that enjoyed this place dies a little on the inside.

..after returning, you see a bunch of threads that make you think "Hey, that thread about watching grass grow from the early years wasn't so bad after all!"

..you, at one point in time, have had a feud with one of the moderation staff here.

..Silverdragonfly.

..you remember the debates from yesteryear and look at the "LOL WHAT COLOR IS UR CUNT j/k what culor is ur undies", "punch the next person in da face thread v. cxxivyxx" type threads and wonder what happened to any semi-intelligent discourse there used to be here.

..you remember when the boards didn't log you out every five minutes.

[Angiepantalones]

Truer words, etc etc.

[Squishy_Ho]

Fuck yeah IROTA! I've still got it too, hahah.

I miss the Barracks Awards. :(

we have to bring kat back to make it all over again

edit: and OMFG it's Widge o.o

[Rob1]

..you remember when the boards didn't log you out every five minutes.

[Widge]

edit: and OMFG it's Widge o.o
The Barracks Awards didn't really work that well the last time they were done (I believe it was done before the switch), so I don't think they'd work now, surely. Seems this board went from a dwindling rain forest to the Sahara Desert in less than a year. So, suck on that, Shadow_Of_A_Doubt, Global Warming's alive and it infested the LPMB!

And hello.

God I feel bad that I don't know your actual name or a name you used to use. I've been very rarely on these boards since last July/Augest and I hadn't been here for two months at all until yesterday or so.

So, what's your name / previous usernames that I might remember? :''(

The boards died a long time ago, but I still come back to see if anything's changed. It never does. It will never be like it was back in '01, but maybe that is for the best.

i actually did them with Kat and since i didn't know about the other awards (never participated/got nominated/etc.) well i couldn't compare with the ones we did so. i'm sure all the noobs would totally be into it though.

i've been Squishy Ho for two years now or so. i've been Pert Plus for a long time before that. most people(that know me) around here know me as Dre. we didn't talk often. i just mostly read you cause you were here often and for a long time so.

[FoenixGirl]

... when you know only TWO threads in The Barracks (which both happened to be traditional threads) and have no idea what is going on in other threads (nor do you care about it).


HI DRE LONG TIME NO SEE.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

...when you don't know a single member of the 'popular' clique that is currently overrunning the boards.

[Angiepantalones]

...when you don't know a single member of the 'popular' clique that is currently overrunning the boards.
Pretty much.

[Rob1]

...when you don't know a single member of the 'popular' clique that is currently overrunning the boards.

Who's that?

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Who's that?

You mean you don't know?/Can't tell?

[Rob1]

You mean you don't know?/Can't tell?

I know there's the group of 03-04 "The boards suck now!" old guys and some of the MTM-era kids, but I don't see any clique.

Unless I'm just not looking hard enough.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

I see a bit of a clique with some new kids.. they all appear to post together and if you have beef with one you have beef with all.

[Rob1]

I haven't seen it, though they're probably doing it. Weak.

They total asshats?

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Nah not necessarily.

[Rob1]

Ah well, so long as they aren't being total schmucks, guess it ain't so bad.

I'm starting me a clique...

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Yeah... not saying they aren't at times, but everyone has their dickhead days.

Really? And what kind of people will you be having in this clique?

[Rob1]

Probably new kids for the most part...

...but I can mold them how I see fit. Or something like that.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

You have power over these kids? o.O

[Rob1]

No. None at all...

Still, a lot seem to like me, so that's pretty cool, seeing as in the 6+ years I was here before, nobody knew me.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Ahh yes, I know that feeling unfortunately. :(

Incidentally, apologies for copying the quote, but I needed a change and I love that quote.

[Rob1]

The Family Guy one? No prob. I don't even like FG anymore anyway.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Yeah, that one. :eek: Really?

[Rob1]

Yeah, it's horrible now. :(

[Flames_Go_Higher]

I disagree, but own opinions and all that. :)

[Rob1]

Yeah...


Back to topic;

Yeah, LPMB all them years ago. Sure was...something...

[Flames_Go_Higher]

People actually posted in proper threads where there was an actual discussion.

[Danasaur]

... when you know only TWO threads in The Barracks (which both happened to be traditional threads) and have no idea what is going on in other threads (nor do you care about it).


HI DRE LONG TIME NO SEE.
You! =|

post too short blah blah blah

[FoenixGirl]

You! =|

post too short blah blah blah


Hi Dana. >_>

[Squishy_Ho]

... when you know only TWO threads in The Barracks (which both happened to be traditional threads) and have no idea what is going on in other threads (nor do you care about it).


HI DRE LONG TIME NO SEE.

YEAH WELL I WASN'T THE ONE WHO DESERTED THIS PLACE though i pretty much understand why people would do so nowadays...

and HI DANA

[FoenixGirl]

From the way the board seems (and this new system logging me out every other minute), I don't think I missed much.

[Angiepantalones]

AAAAAAAAAAH DANA OMG OMG OMG OMG OMFDOGujdfgesriotgdr HI

[Squishy_Ho]

lol she posted a couple of times before now angie

and yeah Le you didn't miss much really

[Temperance]

I think the oldies around here should get a title anyway just for being here for so long.

*laughs maniacally*

I totally agree. I mean really, how many of us actually still have 2001 as our join date?

(no offense Joe, I know you were here) :)

[Flames_Go_Higher]

*laughs maniacally*

I totally agree. I mean really, how many of us actually still have 2001 as our join date?

(no offense Joe, I know you were here) :)

But if you limited it to 2001 I wouldn't get one. :(

[Temperance]

But if you limited it to 2001 I wouldn't get one. :(

Awwwwww. :(

Okay, 2001 get theirs first, then 2002. Does that work?

[Rob1]

(no offense Joe, I know you were here) :)

Yay, I'm remembered! :p

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Awwwwww. :(

Okay, 2001 get theirs first, then 2002. Does that work?

Why yes it does thank you. :)

[Temperance]

Well good. I'm glad everyone is happy. :)

And Joe, duh, how could I forget you???

[Squishy_Ho]

i think titles should be given after a certain number of years passed here. like not only 2001-2002 but like if you're still here after 4 or 5 years, you should get one cause that's a hell of a long time still

[Temperance]

i think titles should be given after a certain number of years passed here. like not only 2001-2002 but like if you're still here after 4 or 5 years, you should get one cause that's a hell of a long time still

I absolutely agree. :)

[Rob1]

i think titles should be given after a certain number of years passed here. like not only 2001-2002 but like if you're still here after 4 or 5 years, you should get one cause that's a hell of a long time still

Sounds pretty cool. I want one.

[Temperance]

Me too. I mean really, how are you supposed to get a title if they don't have the Barracks Awards anymore? :confused:

[Rob1]

I dunno. :confused:
:(

[Flames_Go_Higher]

The fact that there's very rarely anyone around here who's able to dish out a title is probably a contributing factor.

[Angiepantalones]

The fact that there's very rarely anyone around here who's able to dish out a title is probably a contributing factor.
This.

Fuck you 10 chars.

[Temperance]

True...very true.

[Squishy_Ho]

Me too. I mean really, how are you supposed to get a title if they don't have the Barracks Awards anymore? :confused:

last barracks awards we had we didn't get titles cause it was 2 members who made them and not like the mods so

The fact that there's very rarely anyone around here who's able to dish out a title is probably a contributing factor.
totally agree with that. Even Jason can't give titles away. when i asked him about it, he told me to ask wendy and justin but they never answered =/ except when Wendy posted in whichever thread i forgot about

[Flames_Go_Higher]

I remember, Wendy posted in that thread about name changes. She said there'd be a name change thread soon and titles would be given out then to certain people. Thats a few weeks ago though now.

[Temperance]

It surprises me that Jason can't give out titles. He's practically the only mod that is ever here. And I don't think I've seen Justin since the board switch. :( So frustrating!

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Maybe a new selection of mods is in order?

[Squishy_Ho]

hell it should've been done some time ago. even back on the old boards, there was just Jason, Liz, Wendy and Justin posting. the rest of the mods stopped posting a long time ago.

[Temperance]

It seems like it would take an act of God to get any new mods around here. I think they do a great job, when they are here. It's just that they are never, ever here.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

How would they even do it anyway? A vote of the board or get the current mods to pick?

[ikin]

yeah. i was old school lpmber too. now i had to register again. my old username was lost. i miss the old times...

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Ooh what was your old username?

[Temperance]

Yay, more old-schoolers! :)

I think it's hilarious that the current cliques haven't hijacked this thread yet. :)

[Squishy_Ho]

oh and Temperance: i don't see why they would since they have nothing to do here. they'd get kicked out pretty fast at least.

How would they even do it anyway? A vote of the board or get the current mods to pick?

dunno how they did it before. probably picked someone closed to them that they knew would do a good job and just said "hey, you're a mod now" or something

[Temperance]

I would hope they would get kicked out pretty quick. Although it doesn't seem to have stopped them from taking over other threads that really had nothing to do with them. Bah, don't mind me, I'm in a massively bitchy mood today. :rolleyes:

[Blood_Pearl]

u know you're an old schooler when you're indignant you have to PC-dumb-down your vocab. i.e. calling newbies newbies and backtracking to 'historically challenged'.


and the board made me join again. grr.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Yay, more old-schoolers! :)

I think it's hilarious that the current cliques haven't hijacked this thread yet. :)

I'm shocked they haven't tried yet and like you say, just because they have nothing to do in here doesn't mean they wouldn't try.

[Temperance]

I agree with Helen, I'm annoyed I can't call anyone a n00b or newbie anymore.

*pouts*

[Squishy_Ho]

who says you can't? the rules? meh, they're all just guidelines anyway... and made to be broken. and even there, they're so like "dude i'm so lkie 15 so liekz i'm big and grown up so i can defend meself" that they won't report you.

I would hope they would get kicked out pretty quick. Although it doesn't seem to have stopped them from taking over other threads that really had nothing to do with them. Bah, don't mind me, I'm in a massively bitchy mood today. :rolleyes:

true =/

Damn you, now I can't stop laughing! :p

[Squishy_Ho]

i'm not sure it's a bad thing so =P

and also: they can defend themselves as long as they're 15 persons to defend them too...

[Temperance]

Oh yeah, God forbid you say one negative thing to them. Then the whole group gangs up you. I swear, there are times I feel like I'm back in junior high.

Oh wait, I suppose I kind of am.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Oh yeah, God forbid you say one negative thing to them. Then the whole group gangs up you. I swear, there are times I feel like I'm back in junior high.

Oh wait, I suppose I kind of am.

Ooh so I'm not the only one to have experienced that whole school thing here too with them lot?

[Rob1]

Damn, I missed out on all this, huh? 0_0

[Squishy_Ho]

Ooh so I'm not the only one to have experienced that whole school thing here too with them lot?

nope, really not. try telling them to think some happy thoughts and you're dead... or nearly so

[Flames_Go_Higher]

lol I'll remember that.

I think all I did was try and start a discussion about their opinion on someone and then totally went off on one and got their little friends involved. It was rather funny.

[Squishy_Ho]

yeah kitty/mindzmisery kind of does that. she's like one of the worse.

i tried telling someone that was 19 to grow up and stop ranting about every god damned thing and making threads about it and all the kids saying "LAWLZ U SO FUNNEY" just jumped at my throat or something.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

lol yeah I found that one out.

Seriously? When you can't even stand up for yourself without getting all your little friends to wade in then there's something wrong and you need to grow up (which is what they need to do).

[Squishy_Ho]

when i look at younger kids, i feel like they're all Kingkids in their family or something. it looks like that kind of generation

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Kingkids?

10 bloody chars.

[Squishy_Ho]

like they can do whatever they want and ask whatever they want and they get it.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Oh yeah, I get it. Sounds about right.

[Rob1]

Ooooooh...

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Ooooooh...

?

(10 chars blah blah blah)

[Rob1]

Just groovin' on the conversation is all.

[Squishy_Ho]

lmao that was random o.O

[Temperance]

Damn, I leave work to drive home and I miss the whole convo. Grrr.

But I completely agree with all points made. :p

And now I hope some of you are still online so I don't have to wade through all the immature crap to find a good post.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

I'm still online and unfortunately, usually am lol.

I've just had a really funny argument with one of the immature kids around here, it made be laugh.

[Squishy_Ho]

i'm still here. and i'm just laughing at the person who ended an argument with "no, you shut up!"

[Flames_Go_Higher]

So we're laughing at the same thing then lol. They're annoying but at least they provide some amusement.

[Temperance]

Yeah, I jumped in on your behalf. Fucking n00bs just need to grow up.

Oooooh, you hurt her feelings so she's not going to message on this board. Are you crying now too?

And to top it all off, she's the same person who PM'd me saying she had no idea who Layne Staley was. WTF???

[Squishy_Ho]

i was more amused when there was arguments between like Angie and George (Widge) or when Hal or Dru or Yan were posting and there were fights. dunno but thinking back, in my mind, it was more entertaining.

[Squishy_Ho]

Yeah, I jumped in on your behalf. Fucking n00bs just need to grow up.

Oooooh, you hurt her feelings so she's not going to message on this board. Are you crying now too?

And to top it all off, she's the same person who PM'd me saying she had no idea who Layne Staley was. WTF???

i saw the name somewhere but i don't know who is Layne Staley. could you please educate me on the behalf of the planet, please?

[Flames_Go_Higher]

I just saw thanks, your response made me smile. :)

I'm so upset... I thought we could've been best friends!

Really? Oh dearie me.

[Temperance]

Yeah, they were way better because they actually used facts and logic in their arguments. Not to mention a great dose of sarcasm. Damn, anyone arguing with Widge was a great convo!

[Flames_Go_Higher]

i was more amused when there was arguments between like Angie and George (Widge) or when Hal or Dru or Yan were posting and there were fights. dunno but thinking back, in my mind, it was more entertaining.

Oh god yeah their arguments were much better, but with the kids round here I don't think we're going to get an argument that good round here.

[Temperance]

Layne Staley was the lead singer for the band Alice in Chains. He died of a drug overdose in 2002.

[Temperance]

And I just realized I don't actually know either of your names.

I'm Tiernan btw :)

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Nice to meet you Tiernan, I'm Emma. :)

[Squishy_Ho]

cool hopefully i will remember. and in 2002, i was one of those annoying kids so the world was a concept i couldn't understand.

i remember being fucking afraid of the barracks cause there was all those old-schoolers that were roaming around and they were scary...

and the sarcasm and the intelligence in the back-then fights with those people must be why the fights were better, now that i think about it...

and i'm Andrea but most people here call me Dre, whichever suits you =)

[Flames_Go_Higher]

i remember being fucking afraid of the barracks cause there was all those old-schoolers that were roaming around and they were scary...



lol I remember that feeling.

[Temperance]

Oh yes, the Barracks were terrifying until you got used to them.

I think I may have posted in there maybe 10 times the first year I was here!

[Squishy_Ho]

i don't remember when or why i started posting there. it might be because one of my friend posted a thread there and i checked it then got hooked up on SWOYM but still i don't know. i have no memories of that =/

[Rob1]

I remember stuff like that. :D

I also had a noob that liked to argue with me too.

I'm an official vet, huh?

[Squishy_Ho]

you're from 2001 it seems so

[Rob1]

Fuck yeah :)

[Squishy_Ho]

America! Fuck yeah!

sorry <.<

[Blood_Pearl]

so...who's left? i mean, what were your old names because chances are i don't remember/ except squishy ho because i never learnt their name anyway. they were too cool for me :(

[Squishy_Ho]

i don't remember you though. who are you?

[Temperance]

I remember when it was still okay to be a newbie. Mostly because, well, almost all of us were in 2001. Anyone else remember newbie adoptions? Hehe, those were pretty funny.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Newbie adoptions? Ooh I don't remember that...

[Temperance]

Oh yes. I still actually talk to my "big sister" occasionally.

As a side note, I find your avater disturbingly hilarious!

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Oh really? That one must've passed me by.

lol it's pretty good isn't it?

[Temperance]

My hubby watches Family Guy practically every night. I didn't like it at first, but I have to admit, its grown on me!

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Its really good, I love it. Its an acquired taste though, and does have to grow on some people.

[Temperance]

Stewie was always my favorite, but Brian is getting closer.

*makes a mental note to watch Family Guy tonight*

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Yeah they're the best characters. I love it when its just those two together, its really funny.

[Temperance]

I forget what channel does it, but there is this hilarious montage of just the two of them. They use it for advertising the show. I crack up everytime I see it.

I'm going to be gone for a bit. I'm (finally) heading out of work, and it takes me about an hour to get home. I'll catch up with you later!

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Not that you'll get this till you get back - but where'd you work that you can get away with being on here?

[Starsky]

Angie! Do you use Facebook?

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Angie! Do you use Facebook?

Wow! When was the last time you were around here?

[Temperance]

I'm home, finally. I hate my commute.

I work at a hospital, in the Dietary department, doing all of the accounting. I'm on a computer most of the day, and the only other person in my office is one of my best friends. Come to think of it, I do most of my posting while I'm at work. :p

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Ohh I see. My work is rubbish, they've banned all websites on the computers.

[Rob1]

Wow! When was the last time you were around here?

Aw, I want an old friend from years past... :(

[Squishy_Ho]

Angie! Do you use Facebook?

i knwo you don't me, i don't care, but you still got your account after that much time without posting and it fucking impresses me.

plus, i've already seen you posting around so i'm really "omg"-ish right now. it does that with pretty much all 2001 people actually...

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Aw, I want an old friend from years past... :(

Not an old friend, just someone I remember from SO long ago.

[Temperance]

Ohh I see. My work is rubbish, they've banned all websites on the computers.

I can still get to YouTube, and most message boards. MySpace is the only one that I can't get to. It drives me nuts, especially when I get an email saying I have a message or friend request and I have to wait until I get home to check it.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Thats annoying... why allow most things apart from MySpace?

[Temperance]

Who knows? I will never understand our IT department. There are certain links on MSN I can't click on either. My guess about MySpace is because too many people were spending too much time on it. Come to think of it, I don't know if I can check Facebook or LiveJournal. I'm hardly ever on any of those.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Sounds like when I was at college and only some, random, websites would work. It's alll about Facebook lol.

[Temperance]

I think I've logged onto Facebook like, 10 times lol. And I'm only on MySpace when I get a message saying someone contacted me. I am horrible at keeping in touch with people. Which is yet anout reason I find it incredible that I am still on this site.

[Temperance]

Ha, I just tried logging in to Facebook and got a "this site has been blocked" message. :p

[Rob1]

Not an old friend, just someone I remember from SO long ago.

I want an old ass person I know to post again and make me go "No wai!" :eek:

[Flames_Go_Higher]

I want an old ass person I know to post again and make me go "No wai!" :eek:

lol don't you remember Starksy and Hutch? (not the TV show)

Tiernan - haha they're clearly against social networking of any kind. Yeah I know what you mean, I think I'm just lazy towards keeping in contact with people and sometimes find it a bit of an effort, which is quite bad.

[Rob1]

lol don't you remember Starksy and Hutch? (not the TV show)

Very vaguely.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

They're one of the few names I remember. Most other people with 2001 registration dates who post I'm like: 'who the hell are you?' lol.

[Rob1]

Same here, though really, I didn't know many people back then.

[Temperance]

No social networking of any kind, apparently. Pfft.

I remember a lot of names, but I didn't really talk to a lot of them. I had a group that I posted with that I knew pretty well. Outside of that, it was just this weird admiration for the people with enough balls to get into political/religious arguments with Widge.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

I don't really remember talking to many people. I'll have had the odd chat with someone every so often but that was really it that I can remember.

[Temperance]

I mostly posted in the LC. When you're posting about something as personal as poetry/lyrics etc you get to know people pretty well. The only drawback is that I missed a lot of what went on in the Barracks.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Yeah I doubt you missed much as you seemed to catch George's arguments.

[Temperance]

How could you miss them?!

And I see in the other thread (the silly "what are you" one), that we're about to get in another amusing argument. :D

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Hehe I know, lol @ your post in there. I'd reply to your posts in there but don't want to look like one of the kids from the cliques who's brought their little mates in to help.

I want someone mildly intelligent to argue with though, just so it's more amusing for me and everyone else. (Clearly I have aspirations to be the female George lol)

[Rob1]

Ah, flame wars with the newbies.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

It passes the time of day when I should be writing the conclusion to my dissertation. :D

[Rob1]

It doesn't take much to set one off, I know that much.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

lol yeah. Today's is from a harmless comment made by me and another. Now the newbie wants to leave the boards. Didn't realise I had such an impact on people lol.

[Temperance]

At least this one doesn't end the arguments with "u shut up!!11!!1 :D

[Flames_Go_Higher]

lol yeah thats true. It ends with me being scared at how angry and violent this kid actually is. He was telling me about it the other day... v.scary.

[Rob1]

This one girl I had such a "feud" with stemmed from a a topic I started about that Nebraska Mall shooting a few months ago. She posted some crazy shit about it being Bush's fault and a whole bunch of off the wall bullshit. Don't get me wrong, I'm not pro-G.W, but the shit she was saying was just batshit crazy with no relevance, so I called her out on it.

In turn, she lashed out over my alleged insults and how totally inappropriate they were (while insulting me...). That wouldn't have been so bad, had she just left it in the thread. Instead, she followed me to every thread I posted and proceeded to bitch about my insults and mocking people, shit that had very little to do with anything, topping off with her sending me quite a few PM's. After awhile it died down, then she sends me ANOTHER PM some weeks later, a kind of "And another thing!" deal, and when I PM her back telling her to drop it, she gets an attitude over it. I'm like "Bitch, I'm not the one who kick started a month old argument..."

So that's my Bad Noob experience.

[Temperance]

I know, I read that. Creepy.

Oh, now he wants to rip my throat out. Verrrrrrry mature. :rolleyes:

Didn't she have a screen name that started with an A? I remember her going all postal in the "Jamie Spears is pregnant"
thread. Same person?

Ooh I wanna know the noob now as I didn't read that.

Thats how it starts though, you try and provoke a grown up discussion and all they do in return is throw childish insults your way.

Tiernan - yeah, this kid has issues.

[Rob1]

Didn't she have a screen name that started with an A? I remember her going all postal in the "Jamie Spears is pregnant"

Akaree was the name.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Don't think I've ever seen them posting.

[Rob1]

Don't think I've ever seen them posting.

I think she's gone now.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Aww did you scare the noob away cos you were so nasty to her? :P

[Temperance]

Yep. Big bad Joe scared her off. :)

It seems we're being too harsh on Mr. Short Circuit. Am I the only one that can see he doesn't need provoking? Jeez, he goes off if you reply to anything.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

I'm not sure about too harsh. No, I can see that, but I won't curb what I say in other posts (don't know if you've got to that yet) in case he might read it.

[Temperance]

LMAO, now he's dragging the argument into SWOYM. Classic.

[Temperance]

I'm not sure about too harsh. No, I can see that, but I won't curb what I say in other posts (don't know if you've got to that yet) in case he might read it.

Sorry, I meant that sarcastically. I think we've actually been quite civil. And I completely agree, you shouldn't have to edit what you say just because someone flies off the handle about it.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Oops sorry lol. I know, it's called free speech for a reason. I'm not liking other certain people wading into that thread, I have to say.

Oh and I know, he really can't let it drop can he?

[Temperance]

Ooooh, he's all calm now. Lets see how long that lasts. I'm feeling mighty bitchy today lol. I may be gone for a bit, I have to go do a couple of errands for work. I'm just waiting for my friend so I don't have to drive lol.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

I know, I had to restrain myself from saying something to him in SWOYM.

Okie dokie, talk to you in a bit.

[Rob1]

Aww did you scare the noob away cos you were so nasty to her? :P

I dunno what happened, but I'm glad she left.

[Temperance]

Yeah, she was something else. Always ranting about the media and then posting celebrity gossip stories. Bizarre.

Emma - now I'm not going anywhere lol. And I've gotten sucked into the board today, so I'm not going to get much accomplished while I'm still at work.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Emma - now I'm not going anywhere lol. And I've gotten sucked into the board today, so I'm not going to get much accomplished while I'm still at work.

lol same here... I've barely got any of my work done because of the events on here lol.

[Temperance]

I'm actually thinking of leaving early today, hehe. I have to train someone the next 2 days, so i won't be on much the rest of the week.

Yep, I decided I'm leaving early. :D
I'll get caught back up when I get home.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Wish I could just choose to leave work early lol.

[Starsky]

This is the first time I've had a nosey in ages, I actually thought my account had been deleted after that odd thing with old accounts being wiped or something. Anyway, I just thought I'd see if there was anyone familiar floating about!

[Temperance]

Probably not. And most of us that could be have posted in this thread. I know for a fact that Dave (Obsidian) isn't coming back because his account got deleted. :( I miss him.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

There's been a few floating around but I think all they've done is poked their nose round the door and gone again.

[Squishy_Ho]

Ha, I just tried logging in to Facebook and got a "this site has been blocked" message. :p

hurray for channeling or tunneling or whatever's the word

[Blood_Pearl]

Probably not. And most of us that could be have posted in this thread. I know for a fact that Dave (Obsidian) isn't coming back because his account got deleted. :( I miss him.
dave hasn't been around for years, not regularly. that's why we're the ones labelling dave's thread as his when we've been doing the work for the last 16 editions.


i like him really, but it's true. i find lies boring.

[Squishy_Ho]

i still don't know who you are btw lol

[Blood_Pearl]

Tiernan or moi?

[Squishy_Ho]

you cause i know tiernan

6 seconds

[Blood_Pearl]

if it helps, for a long time in 2003 i was called Fur!0u$ Angel

[Temperance]

i like him really, but it's true. i find lies boring.

I was gone for awhile too, but I remember when Dave was literally the king around here.

I do agree with you about his thread though. I can't believe it's almost to 20 editions. :eek:

[Flames_Go_Higher]

if it helps, for a long time in 2003 i was called Fur!0u$ Angel

Ooh I remember you... not sure if we ever spoke but I remember the name.

[Blood_Pearl]

bear in mind i was 16/17 when i had that name. so any twattish things i said then i cannot be responsible for now...

[Flames_Go_Higher]

lol I was the same age back then so chances are, even if I could remember them, at the time I probably won't have thought they were twattish.

[Temperance]

Add me to that list too. I will not be held responsible for the stupid things I said 7 years ago!

[Flames_Go_Higher]

I think there should be an unspoken rule between the old schoolers that we don't bring up anything stupid/embarassing that was said in years gone by. :p

[Temperance]

LMAO.

Totally Agreed!

[Rob1]

I wish I had an old Linkin Park board rep. :cool:

[Temperance]

Poor Joe.

If it's any consolation, I don't have a rep either. I just know know I said some dumbass things!

[Rob1]

Poor Joe.

If it's any consolation, I don't have a rep either. I just know know I said some dumbass things!

We're losers. :(

[Temperance]

We're losers. :(

LMAO

*hugs my fellow loser*

[Squishy_Ho]

if it helps, for a long time in 2003 i was called Fur!0u$ Angel

HOLY HELL I TOTALLY REMEMBER YOU NOW

i remember talking to you too. i think cause you spoke some french or you had some french in your sig or something of the sort

[Squishy_Ho]

I was gone for awhile too, but I remember when Dave was literally the king around here.

I do agree with you about his thread though. I can't believe it's almost to 20 editions. :eek:

what is the thread you guys are talking about?

[Rob1]

LMAO

*hugs my fellow loser*

yay :p

Oh well, we're the cool kids now...

[Temperance]

what is the thread you guys are talking about?

It's in The Workshop. It's "Dave's 19th Thread for Self-Mutilation."

The first one was started in 2001.

[Temperance]

yay :p

Oh well, we're the cool kids now...

Wahoo! We better get something for being here this long.

[Squishy_Ho]

It's in The Workshop. It's "Dave's 19th Thread for Self-Mutilation."

The first one was started in 2001.

that's what i thought. my friend used to hang in there

[Rob1]

Wahoo! We better get something for being here this long.

Of course!

We want benefits! :p

[Temperance]

Of course!

We want benefits! :p

And titles damn it!

[Flames_Go_Higher]

I like a title but I'd be stuck as to what the hell it would be.

[Temperance]

Ha, I always think the exact same thing. I would want it to be something bad ass and totally memorable, but everything I come up with sounds lame. :p

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Official veteran as a joke would be kinda funny..

[Rob1]

I don't know what mine would be. :(


Probably "Dude".

[Blood_Pearl]

i miss titles based on post count. NOW i'm showing my oldschool-ness!

[Temperance]

Oh yeah, I remember those. Weren't they something like "street soldier?" For some reason that's the only one I can remember.

I think "Official Veteran" would be hilarious!

[Blood_Pearl]

the final one was general. i think veteran should be on offer.

[Temperance]

What count did you have to get to before you got general? Although given that I still have less than 1400 posts after 7 years, I probably wouldn't have gotten very far! :p

[Blood_Pearl]

i think 3, 000. but i have a funny feeling it was a lame-as 1,000 or something. i had over 11, 000 on my last username.
