Nice! Will this be your first year then? What are you going to be studying?

Are you in college?
Yeah I'm moving to a new state for college (Chicago, Illinois). I get there the 17th for early move in since I took the last available orientation. Orientation is the 18th-19th and then that whole week is Welcome Week so I get a pretty good chance to explore the city.

What exactly is a Mentor?
They were basically invented to be the "door greeters" of the forum. Their official job description was "To serve as role models and ambassadors for the community."But they had no powers.

I would never want to be in the same classification as MoonDawg. I always hated the mentors.

Why so late?
Another string of insomnia. Took me until 4 am to fall asleep.

You guys have a little say. We do listen but in the end it's what Cheat wants. He's putting in all the work to make this site and paying for it as well. So it's his site, and you'd do well to keep that in mind.

Nah man. I got so many Unfrigginbelievables from banshee whoring. It's really an artform. Takes a lot of skill.

I just don't give a fuck.
I can't really put into words how little I genuinely care about anything really.
But can't you see that you're pretty goddamn intelligent? Don't you wanna do something with that?

I know you get a lot of humor out of this ordeal but goddamn Meta.
I wish you would give up this "attitude" you have. I don't know if it's the whole Sociopathic thing or you just don't give a fuck. You're one of the smartest people I know and have a shit load of potential but I really don't think you'll get anywhere with this mindset you have.

I'm never going to respond to the ads even if I can see them, so... or does he get money just from me seeing them? That would be truly depressing.
Yeah he get's money just from them being displayed. Clicking the ads brings in more revenue. A few other members including me click on the ads frequently to generate more revenue.

Ad blocker. I don't know nor care what it has to do with 'bandwidth' or whatever.
Well it has to deal with more of being polite, if you care about that (most people don't). You're using bandwidth, which is limited, on a server which our admin is paying for. He can only generate revenue from the ads. Using adblocker generates no revenue. It's your choice though.

Sandtrap's posts really make my mind think and are always a joy to read.
Meta is one of the few people that have read many of the philosophy books that I've read and I can have some top notch conversations with him.
Vien is by far one of the strangest (in a good way) people I've met but also one of the coolest.
TBlocks just plain out makes me laugh a lot. Top notch canuck he is.
Korra writes some good Flood Fiction
Piranha is one of the few people I've met that likes the early 90's Seattle bands. Especially the ones nobody has heard of i.e. Melvins, Mudhoneys, Green River, etc.
Demonic always has cool shit to say and he's got some damn nice art.
A Cheese Potato cracks me up with his Aussieness
Doom is a quality Norwegian to conversate with
Flee is one of the best people on the forums. He's got my back if I ever get arrested in Europe.
Jocephalopod introduced me to Skeleton Man and deserves a mention for that.
Mr P knows cool shit.
Napalm is a cool dude and showed me the Deutsche music
Officer Nasty is a goddamn badass and we are good at impersonating black people.
All of these people are interesting to me. It's amazing the people you meet on a gaming forum.

I've only been there for a day. It seemed alright, but it's generally considered to be the least... civilised city, from what I've heard. Freakin' humid too. Hot and humid.
Alright one more. Sydney or Melbourne?

If I were to switch the functions of the red and green buttons, I wonder how long it would take before you guys realized what was happening...

If you're going to continue to put that on every one of your posts I'm going to treat it as spam and have to ban you for it.

Let's see if anyone get's this joke.  Joke explained: Spoiler Rid X is something you clear your septic system (where all your poop goes) with. So me being Rid X and the "Serious" forum being the shit. The advertisements want me to go into the Serious forum and clean up all the shit.
