I'm probably on the list because of my posting insane pictures on the first G3 topic. EDIT: I just noiced I'm ahead of Alorael by one. Better start posting more.

But you could wring a good ten more posts out of slowly revealing the trick, Thuryl! —Alorael, who finds that the trick to concealing spam is to have a signature that artificially makes your post longer. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I'd reveal my tricks, but I clearly have none. I hardly have any posts, let alone large amounts of hidden spam. Edit: Interestingly, I was told today that spam is supposed to taste oddly similar to human flesh.

Wow, I am falling rather far behind. I find if I was to actually come to these forums every single day, I'd be a lot higher, but as it is, I skip a few here and there, so...

In Ben's defense: could we say that his mistake can be gingerly hovered over, forgiven even, if we consider posting in these forums as a form of informal speech? (I was tempted to steal Alorael's signature to make a comment on my wet dream to see English turn into a more heavily subjunctive language, but I believe that tempting Him in such a way would be a rather bad idea.) -------------------- quote:Random Jack Vance Quote Manual Generator Apparatus (Cugel's Saga) Posts: 604 | Registered: Sunday, June 20 2004 07:00 |

Spring, the keyword was "unobviously", ignoring the fact that it's technically not a real word. hawk king, I notice that although you've said you were going to try before, you still haven't improved at all.

I know I have real trouble posting without substance. I have cought myself many times just deleting what I was going to post because I didn't think it worthy enough. Which is probably why 63 posts in a month seems stageringly high to me. Need an example? In the BoE forum somebody asked about Tatter, I started to reply with look at my site but decided mid-sentence that it might be too much a shameless plug. So I decided to wait to see if someone would answer the question specifically, and they did while also mentioning my site. I got free advertising without the shameless plugging by waiting. Best of both worlds. Now I get to go over and offer a link since it was left out so my post count suffers naught. ;) -------------------- Forever Always on Past the End tracihedlund@charter.net[/url] TrueSite for Blades - Blades Walkthroughs Pixle Profusion - BoE Graphics Archive Posts: 563 | Registered: Tuesday, July 27 2004 07:00 |

To Hawk King: I would not directly call you an idiot, as it would be unkind. Considering your 1990 comment you must be 15 or so. There is no excuse for lack of capital letters or punctuations marks. All computers have a typing program of some sort. The spelling and grammar checked would be useful. You have said you would work on that, so trust is questionable. I was born 1984, and I'm glad to say no false teeth here :D -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |

19 in three months, so it's obvious that I'm born in 1986. And yes, I feel like an old man...

If all youngsters were to plead age as an excuse to turn down the joys of proper writing, no one would ever learn to write properly! There might be no subjunctive or conditional moods ever again! —Alorael, who doesn't have fake teeth. He has no teeth at all! Sure, it makes talk about the good old days difficult, but he can still mumble to himself about how great it was before there were cars on the roads and bright electric lights ruining the night sky.

You don't need teeth to drink cold hard Scribbane though :P And yea, I'm old. I have a beard and glasses. I take public transit to downtown just to get to class unlike the lucky rich kids that happen to be 80% of the population in the area I live in who get to either drive to school in their BMWs or get driven to school in a Benz. -------------------- Polaris - Weather balloons, ninjas, and your big daddy Wise Man.
