OH NOS! WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL OUR MEMBERS???
« on: May 25, 2006, 10:07:32 AM »

I'll tell you what happened to all of the registered members... I deleted them! Each and everyone one of them who had a post count of 0 got the boot. And you know what, it felt good.

"BUT WHY?!?!" you ask.

The reason being is because I put a visual confirmation script into place, requiring all users to manually fill out a form with random numbers and letters in order to continue. I got tired of spam bots signing up for bosous accounts just to use the "Website" field in their profile in hopes that one person may click it. I figured now would be the best time to prune the user database. You know, kind of like starting fresh.

All I have to say to those scumbags now is:

WHO'S LAUGHING NOW, FUCKER?!

Discuss, if you must.

Oh yea, sorry if you're a lurker and now don't have an account because of this Great Purge.

Maybe you should have posted something and your account would have been fine. All it took was one stupid post to save your ass.

That's why I purged them. The job was still not finished from the 1930s, so I decided to give it a nudge in the right direction.

If that was the case, I wouldn't even make the cut! My lazy ass didn't post much while I was attending college.

Though, I guess I could make an exception...  :roll:

I've only made a few slight changes to stuff around here so far. The next time that I have off from work I will be making more changes to things around here.

Who knows, maybe I'll change everything over to a really cool pink layout. Or intall obscene smilies that piss people off. Or maybe do both!

I didn't realize you wanted us all to leave Chris, you could have just asked us nicely.

Oh, use some of Xolik's gifs for responses, that would be pretty cool.

I think it is a good decision to delete anyone who never attempts to post - I must admit I don't get to post as often as I would like to, but I've visited Forums that have, like, 5,000 Members, and only about 500 have ever posted anything !

Maybe you should be doing your work instead.  You know, so that you can actually pass this time.

Heh.

The school was broken into over the weekend.  The teacher that I share a room with had her digital camera stolen.  They stole stuff, vandalized, wrote racial things on teachers' to do lists, urinated in the halls.

Then bragged to other students about what they had done.  :|

It only took a few hours for them to get caught.  Funny, they're the same ones who broke into the school last year.  Who would have thought they'd get caught again?  Not them apparently.

Here's the best part.

The teacher who had her camera stolen got it back, but they need it for evidence...since the three students FILMED THEMSELVES.

Oh, the reason that came to mind is that one of the students is one of mine.  He needs a good grade in my class (which is strictly based on participation) to pass 7th grade.  They really don't want him in 7th grade for the THIRD TIME.

Welp, looks like that's exactly where he'll be next year.  If not at the alternative school.
