Greetings...
« on: April 28, 2010, 03:06:05 PM »
...people.
I'm usually not one to open Newbie-Threads, but here it is...

...I'm Marie. I come from Germany and usually spend a lot of my free time playing computer games, on the internet [mostly on forums. Even though the last board I've really been active on got shut down not long ago, so I ended up board-less - and bored], watching movies or series...just the usual stuff, I suppose. :| I also play guitar and do some digital painting from time to time.
I'm still in what most of you would call high school, majoring in English and math, but I'm close to finishing Year 12 now.
Guess that's it.

Nowhere. ;)

I just found some sort of a loophole when I registered.

Oh, and sure, you can call me 'Nein'. :lol: I've been given worse names before.

Like....Frankfurter [pretty odd for someone who isn't from Frankfurt, actually]?

Haven't had such a name before. :-o

But some English friend of mine used to call me names. One day he even named me after some Hogan's Heroes character. I was rather lucky he forgot about that nickname in a few hours, though. :P

Don't be coy.  BizB asked you a question.  And I want to know the answer too.

So I'm going to ask you again.  Where did you post your referral link to get so many referrals?

Given the sheer volume of the onslaught of spammers we've had around here lately, I think the answer is relevant.

And this question will not be asked of you a third time.

As I've said, I didn't post the link anywhere. There's really some sort of misleading option when you register.



Did someone refer you to this site?

When I registered I answered that question with "No", just to be told that that user doesn't exist and that I should fill in another name.
And well, I changed my username to "No" and apparently 22 other people were just as dumb as I was and answered that thingy with "No", too.

Ta-da.

Well, I like you, "No".  I think I'm going to kill you last.

Oh, groovy. I was already afraid of the power that will be unleashed when the cork  is removed from the fork.

Ooh, hello, yes.
Don't you dare to beat me, referral-wise.  :evil:

Or, Schlagrahm, as they say in Bavaria.

And, yes, Gymnasium for me. Too bad I live in a part of Germany where Gymnasium takes 12 and a half year. :|
