speaking up....
« on: August 07, 2002, 04:19:27 PM »

One never knows where the interesting stuff is going to be....

I was bipping around looking for Staind's "Epiphany" on MP3, (not a big mp3 collector, just idly poking around) found my way here, looked around, thought some of y'all made for good reading, and stayed.  Find the "idiot of the day" AIM transcripts highly amusing; messing w/ people's heads is one of my favourite pastimes.. *grin* i applaud you guys.
Figure sitting back and waiting and getting a feel of this place before piping up on a regular basis is the best way to go.

Welcome to The Geekery then. Enjoy your stay. As long as you don't do anything that's too stupid, you should be fine with the rest of us.

A lot of people get here looking for mp3s thanks in part to the massive mp3 list I have here. It turns out it was big mistake making that list of all my mp3s, but thanks to that I now have half of the regulars here.

I'm sure you'll find it fun here because you like messing with people. Heck, I do that all the time on AIM to people that annoy me. It's quite ammusing.

Maybe you should use this just for the n00b forum then, hm?

Looking at that more and more it makes me want to change the current logo for the forums, or even make a rotation of them.

Sitting back and waiting is usually the best way to regard forums.  I find that people that actually read threads before making idiots of themselves are usually more well regarded than people that think they know everything about the internet and pipe up before realizing that they're dumbasses.  That's just my thoughts.

Hey, I'm Gumbo. Still very green so i thought I'd just say hey, and hope that I don't get torn to shreds in the near future. Found this site while looking for sound garden mp3's. Big fan. Anywho, love the site, not too many idiots here, I only hope that it will not get completely over-run with idiots and the like, just as many great forums have. Have a good one.

Idiots? *Grins* Aside from YOU, there's only one.

Doesn't take one to figure out who it is.

Unless of course...mind games are your thing, in THAT case...

WHO DO YOU THINK IT IS???

Another one looking for mp3s. People looking for Guns N Roses mp3s are also very common. Oh yea, and also "mp3s de guns n roses". Don't want to forget about the Spanish speaking people.

Something about Guns N Roses that they like. I don't know why either.

Kinda funny. Ran into that on several occasions before I "bumped into" this site. All Spanish guys too. Freaked the hell outta me.

Ronnie!  It's exciting to see new people on the site.  It's new blood that keeps us alive.  We would like to inform you of our reduced thread price for new threads in the New Geeks on the Block section of the site.  Normally, we charge huge fees and make every attempt to keep the number of new threads to a minimum because... well, because we're simple people.  In the New Geeks on the Block section, however, we don't charge anything for new threads.  It bottles my mind why you would go back and revive a thread that had been dead for SIX FUCKING YEARS when you introduced yourself.

You're not doing well so far, but we see potential in you.  Please create a new thread of your very own and give us a proper introduction.
