Hello... I Come in Peace...
 

:p I'm new here... so be gentle with me...

Very nice that you came in peace. Stay to wrassle. It's what they do here.

ill show you peace!! :flamer:

welcome

Hi Dev, C'mon in. Just ignore the picketers on the sidewalk.:D

I'm new too, yet from the same Galaxy.

AG: "wretched hive of scum and villainy"

Welcome all you AG kids....

Hello you extraordinary lurker.

Yeah, come on... there must be a story here. Tell us about the old place & why it's toast.

Welcome AG refugees. Yeah give us the dirt. We love to hear how inferior other boards are to our beloved Cellar! ;)

Audio Galaxy is a defunct MP3 site, sued by the RIAA years ago. It was a file-trading model built on community-building though groups and message boards. After the music went away, the boards were still there. A group of nutjobs decided to stick around out of habit, this was like 5 years ago. Eventually the ability to verify new accounts went away, so the site was populated by permanent regulars. Functionality was incrimentally lost as the years went by, with no admin at the helm. Now, it may have gone kaput, although the owner (or someobody hacking his account) was seen there in recent weeks. He always asks "why are you still here? lol" . . . We were still there because the board was completely un-moderated.

Yes, do tell!!

(PS. Kagen, loved the flames....you crack me up!:lol: )

Well it all happened in a Galaxy far far away... where music was traded and children danced...

There were short kids fat kids even kids with spots... brown kids white kids even kids with chicken pox...

then one day a terrible scourge came along and ripped the music from their hard drives and chased the music away... things were very sad... most ran as far away from this scourge as they could... some didn't however cause they felt they had no where else to go...

See this place was unmoderated for the most part and anyone could say any fracking thing they wanted at any frackin' time of the day and no one really gave a frack...

Every so often though... someone would just vanish... as if their existence was plucked from the screen... it was called the great death by way of "white paged"... scary stuff I tell ya...:worried: :worried: :worried: :p

Then one day it all quit working and well... here we are... :D

Well, there is no moderation on this board - we are a most immoderate group! UT kicks off the spammers and maybe one really impossible troll at rare intervals, but other than that, the members here pretty much police the board themselves.

You will need a wicked sense of humor, the ability to give as good as you get, any you may not be "intolerably irritating."

Oh, and LJ may be along to administer the TEST - sometimes he does and sometimes he doesn't.

Welcome.

That one day being... today?? Well welcome again!

Was it a collective "plan ahead for a rainy day" kinda thang that AG refugees would meet at the Cellar? or just coincidence?

do we get some kind of vacination shot along with this test mari... :-/

We didn't really have a plan... most of us are probably still working on our next move... there were a few other places to go but this being one is where I landed in my ejection seat... :p

...
and thanks for the welcome everyone... I can take a flame thrower with a bucket of water anyday... :p

"Was it a collective "plan ahead for a rainy day" kinda thang"?

I don't rightly know, when I came to I found myself here.

...
we're living out the hit show... "LOST"... :p

I will slap those TV show references right out of your mouth.

Welcome all you folks, I would just say that historically we have been much more of a slow, considered sort. I had a look at the audiogalaxy forums and they encourage a one-off, one-sentence, immediate reply sort of approach. Historically we have been more like, we take a few minutes to think about stuff, compose a careful reply, and then expect similar composed replies back.

It doesn't always have to be that way and I'm not making any demands, it's not even strictly my place to, just saying that you may expect a different sort of culture and like, don't freak out and stuff.

Thanks, Undertoad. I like thoughtful, considered conversation.

AudioGalaxy has alot of quirks that may appear strange from the outside.

you can't even slap your own meat you lifeless limp fracker... :D

...
cause ya can't anyway...

Maybe the AG folks could start their own little special thread under the Internet section, like "This is not porn" group has done. They could give one liners to each other to their heart's content. Just a thought...

And Dev, no vaccinations. You get the bird flu, and you're on your own buddy! :lol:

Don't worry, marichiko, we'll just overtake the board like a fungus.

:::being careful to compose thoughts into a single-sentence format:::

I'm an AG quirk.

the fungus is you flint you and you're snide remarks in a thread I started aren't appreciated...

This is a new beginning here and right off the bat you had to take a swing...

As I said in the title... is how I came here... but you seem to be here to stir shit...

and now I've wasted enough effort and time on this post to you... So I'll tell ya what... you do your thing here and I'll do mine... don't act like you know me dumbass...

Yes sir, sir. I will do my thing. :::does thing:::

If it's defunct, fair minds could differ as to where "outside" is. Right now, from where I sit, "outside" is where y'all sit. :-)

Undertoad said he/she "had a look at the audiogalaxy forums" - that was specifically what I was referencing, sorry I didn't make that more clear.

me too

Don't worry Dev_of_AG, most of the Cellarites can sort out who's who and evaluate individually. ;)

14,000 posts is impressive. I wish I knew how many I had on AG.

Anyway, glad to hear some here wish to take time to sort, and not judge. Nice to meet you. The future IS unwritten.

Bruce didn't say he hadn't judged.....

True, Steve. I was wondering what his reponse would be. And gave him the benefit of the doubt.

No, what's really impressive is that they are 14,000 QUALITY posts. Well, 13,000, and a bunch of really really funny one liners. Bruce rocks most of our worlds. Y'all could learn a thing or 6 from the master there.

I very much look forward to having the opportunity to wear my tokaido...

and the chance to evolve beyond the "grasshopper" status I now have...

in the Cellar dojo.... :lol:

at you guy's rate of posts you should have 14,000 in a few more days.

then I'll applaud.

You may applaud. I'll barf! Let's see, at the rate of a 100 posts a day... Oh, Gaacckk! I don't wanna even think about it, much less read them! :vomitblu:

:shotgun: :typing:

Post a pic of the barf! Eat corn first too!

Such violence in your cartoons.

Heh!

You obviously haven't checked back on the "Taking up a collection" thread yet. A little slow on the draw, are we partner? :p

"Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them."

:rolleyes:
No one told me this was a post count contest...

hell... I didn't even send in the entry fee... :p

Damn. Here for less than a day and you're already posting a suicide note?

Handy hint: Across to the hospital, down to the morgue.

Haha.. you said "handy".

Drop it off at the handy little PAYPAL link down there at the the bottom right of the front screen;)

....the thread lapses into a haunting silence.....

I think you and everyone here will enjoy this break in the silence you speak of...

drum role please... :drummer: ... AG has been restored to post on once again... :thankyou: ...
and good :zzz: night...

So it is.... but I'll stick around here, methinks.

Me too, I like it here. They have really comfortable chairs.

It's been some time since I last walked the corridors of the Cellar.
I hope this finds you in good spirits... :)

I just felt like taking a stroll down memory lane...

Hi. Why are you up at 3am?

because thats about the time you get frisky
