Hi

im writing to let you know about a brand new message board. we have forums for music, movies, humour n cartoon as well as web design n computer graphics...plus a general forum just for chat. we also just added a chatroom n many other fun hacks.

the good thing about vbulletin boards is you can customize the background of the forums to suit your taste*, upload images, use custom or upload personal avatars* and send private messages.

its still a small growing community but we hope to create a friendly atmosphere...

hope to see you there soon.

Interesting site and all but is everyone getting this?

yep

Well if I recall correctly Nic pegged this person on the way in.

Dammit.

My main complaint with that site (besides the oddball URL) is that you have to register first before you can look at anything, unlike the Cellar's open access. If I can't see what it's all about, then forget it. I'm from Missouri...you have to show me.

Don't you mean dagnabit?

But remember UT, she actually did make a few posts. And let's just face facts here. You know the Cellar whips the horse's ass. I know the Cellar whips the horse's ass. Jesus knows the Cellar whips the horse's ass. We're un-fucking-touchable, so anybody else running a vBulletin-style forum is merely inhaling the exhaust fumes as they follow our lead.

Okay, enough posturing for now.

dagnabit? Now cut that out!

delete from privatemessage where topic='hiya';

All her messages were "hiya".

The rules of their community include "don't spam"... just like ours.

Their color scheme is why we continue to use basically the default color scheme. I admit I don't know colors all that well... just know what doesn't work, and man, that scheme doesn't work. Here you get a nice grey background, a neutral which is easy on the eyes for reading and composing. There, you get electric blue for a composing background!

But I'm not saying... I'm just saying!

How many did she send? Since all of us here are in the top 10, I would imagine at least that many.

22 people got hit.

I didn't get one that I know of. Of course, The Tone could have put it away before I got a chance to read it.

Or maybe she was like "That dhamsaic is so cool, I better not spam him, or surely I will end up in hell."

I thought I was special.

I had a polite exchange with the admin of the site in question. They knew DW was going to talk up their site but it sounded like they didn't know she was gonna send 22 dupes out.

Nic Name · 08-22-2002, 08:49 PM

She is an admin of that site.

Undertoad · 08-22-2002, 11:17 PM

But not the main person.
