whatever you want. our post counts are going up. the forum totals are going up. the weather is still nice. life is good!
general discussion? now thats my specialty!
edwin, you are the post leader as well as my hero :)
post leader? i had no idea http://www.web-mastery.net/modules.php?name=Members_List&file=index&sid=78bf09736d18afc9730ef310c00999be this is quite a day for me! i'm going to call mother to let he know :idea:
I see I have work to do to catch up to ya'll! ... Hmm a goal.. I like goals!
i am still a "newbie" i have much work to do also!
i am a "newbie" as well :(
How many posts do you have to nail to get that "newbie" changed???
[quote:1b9e51c66c="fpworld"]How many posts do you have to nail to get that "newbie" changed???[/quote:1b9e51c66c] just what I was thinking! what number need we shoot for?
[quote:4c6d22bb49="fpworld"]How many posts do you have to nail to get that "newbie" changed???[/quote:4c6d22bb49] good question. I haven't found the configuration for it but I would guess its at 100. although that seems a little steep. i'm not even sure what the name is then either. hmm, i will investigate and post my results.
scorpionbutted that word doesn't exist on Google. how long til a search turns it up?
you could have used the more common form of the word scorpionbutt to equal effect, edwin.
looks like you found the configuration! i am a novice now !
i set up a couple "ranks" we can always change these later the complete newbies are now called "Kids" in honor of our famous member :)
Hey! You both are novices! *grumbles* I have a ways to go to catch up!!!
Ohhh Cool! I'm novice!! ... and LOL !! Cool! I like the "Kids" thing
You are a "Novice" too :) When you hit 100 you become a "BigTimer" :)
i CaNt bELiEVe tHiS
How Many before I can be "PostingGoddess"??? :wink:
ummm...probably not that many more than 100!
Late comer to this bash.. Posting Goddesses we are indeed!!
i think we need MANY levels of ranks
Hmmm So a few more yet to go.... And Brigid - Better late then never! :wink: to my fellow PostingGoddess!
The Kid should be honored.. Wait.. maybe not. The Kids are the newbies!!!
Ok, I have been on the net for a lot of years.. but I truly don't understand..... What is the meaning or purpose of dOiNG LeTteRS lIke tHIs??? Or is it just to make things difficult to read?
postingGoddess may not be appropriate for the guys...well some of the guys anyway :) we can configure an unlimited amount of ranks so i imagine they can evolve as time goes on.
Hmmm .. MajesticPoster ???
the LeTTeRs thing i don't understand either. probably something to do with our age is why we don't understand. i think TheKid does it to look cool :)
I'm 27 and too old to be cool! *groan* Darn .. I knew this day would come.. but not so soon! :cry:
i stopped being "cool" before i got started. this is page 3 already. now i'm thinking maybe there should be a rank between 50 and 100! that is a big void to fill
3 pages! all it takes is a few motivated nuts to make a huge thread :)
A name for posters between 50-100 .. hmmmm lemme think.. ---- From Nut #2
hmmmm..... :idea:
Level 1: Kid Level 2: Confused Level 3: Novice Level 4: Enough2BDangerous Level 5: Elite Level 6: Majestic
Too old to be cool here, too. :oops: At what age does one "officially" become uncool anyhow??
Not sure.. Till today I thought I was still cool!!! *pouts* :cry:
hmm not bad on those ranks. we can play with these a bit :) brigid i became uncool at age 2 months. i was only cool for one month and then never again!
general discussion is my favorite thread. i dont like "hold up" as much :)
[quote:f8ead1334d="edwin"]general discussion is my favorite thread. i dont like "hold up" as much :)[/quote:f8ead1334d] now that's just nitpicky :)
Something is new here. Is it your hair? New glasses? I can't quite place it. 8O
It's a new outfit! :lol:
I don't think its nitpicky... I think he just likes this one better because its #1! hehe
that's what i think too. people are attracted to the noise and the excitement of big things! like this big thread!
What is wrong with "hold up"? :?:
when I holler roll up people holler HOLD UP you aint getting my benzo 20 inch lorenzos....
Not enough pretty flashy big messages Feathers! hehe ... He's drawn to the 4 page threads!
I like pretty, shiny things.
[quote:00ec238001="neofight"]I like pretty, shiny things.[/quote:00ec238001] Now that's scary :)
i think neofight is trying to tell us something. not sure what that might be.
Just make sure the pretty shiny things aren't the headlights of an oncoming car in the road. 8O
[quote:e2df0d98d8="Chance"]Just make sure the pretty shiny things aren't the headlights of an oncoming car in the road. 8O[/quote:e2df0d98d8] That's an extremely valid point.

I thought my sanity was hanging by a thread! ... Then I come here..... and.... I know I'm not the only one :lol: :wink:
i thought your fingers were sore from yesterday's post-a-thon! this is one MIGHTY thread. :lol:
at least i am still the posting leader! its nice to be able to count on that
[quote:2f8f2a0200="edwin"]at least i am still the posting leader! its nice to be able to count on that[/quote:2f8f2a0200] you WERE the post leader. read it and weep :)
Read this and weep: http://www.web-mastery.net/modules.php?name=Members_List&file=index&sid=bf43e8f194902a5396ab05f0e3d3f088
your link didn't work. and btw, I am the post leader.
LOL My fingers hurt from these long posts.. but that is ok.. I will keep up! (as much as I can.. I actually have to work today! *groan*) and LOL UhOh.. We're catchin up in posting numbers! .... My Goal in life is to out post you boys !!!!
i'm "working" every day. but i always have time to pad my post count :)
i don't really type all that fast. i just take my time.
Hey, everyone wait up for me to catch up on the post count. :D I think we might even have to start a new topic of discussion. Maybe just the emoticon only postings ? (no words...just smily faces)
I think we need a thumbs up icon! That way you can click the thumbs up to indicate you agree!
That would be cheating... This is a lot of work to think of things to say! :lol: Just using faces, and stuff would not be playing fair! :P
i decided to go easy on everyone since you are all working :)
Ahhh work... "Everytime I close the door on reality, it comes through the windows.." *sigh* Such is life... "HiHoHiHo Its off to work I go...." hehe.. Do all of you do all this wonderful Internet work for life completely? or do you guys do other things as well??? (figured if we're gonna chat may as well make it useful! LOL I do it full time...
i work online.
i am a student! i LIVE online though
I work online. Live online....
i also plan on working online. i am studying computers et al
I currently work a crappy offline job but I plan on changing that in the future.
nothing worse than crappy offline jobs!
Don't we all live online???
more and more people do these days. i am starting to see the "new economy" which was predicted years ago. online is a whole new world!
Too bad Genie can't arive to grant us all high hit counts! LOL I love my work, I love my friends I've made online .... But doesn't it get scary at what we can do with computers nowadays?? Does it scare anyone else that technology as the ability to go faster then any one can truly imagine?
i am not scared by it. but i am impressed. i am finally learning to accept change better than i used to. i used to be afraid to change anything. now i try to stay updated all the time and i try to stay ahead of the curve. there will always be more to learn with these computers.
Lucky you.. Sometimes technology scares me.. It grants too many idiots too many abilities... and yet at the same time... it can do so much good for so many people... Amazing how confusing that can get!
security has to be the biggest growing field in the future. someone has to protect people from themselves. unleashing newbies on the internet with dedicated 24 hour per day connections, no firewalls and no common sense, is bound to be trouble.
Case in Point: The awesome jump in sales for programs like Norton Anti Virus.... I get about 10 emails a day from friends asking "is this real" .. all the hoaxes are stupid! Before you repost hoaxes - Check if they are real... go to: http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/
most people don't read. they want others to do it for them. unlike me. maybe that's why i am a BigTimer :) :)
:lol: 6 more to go.. and I'll be there too.. so :P Who here is willing to share pictures so we know who is chatting on the other end?
a picture? of me! no one wants to see that! 8O
I do!!!!!!! I like knowing who I'm talking to... Makes it easier... I'll go first! http://profiles.yahoo.com/fpgirlie2003
a BigTimer! edwin, we are all so very proud of you!
thank you. thank you. okay i have to dig up a picture and scan one in. it might take a few months! :P
Ohhhh No... Noone has a computer that big!! Should take no more then 5 minutes!!!
the homely people won't have pictures ready!
If I can put mine up.. anyone can do it! If you don't have one now, you can get one fast... I'll bet that 95% of the "geeks" on this site have either a digital cam, scanner and/or a webcam...So it can't be difficult! :)
Mind you.. I'm a complete "geek" .. I have all 3!!!!!!
tom is right. i have struggled with homeliness my whole life. it has not been easy. :(
I hate showing pictures of myself. That's just me. :D
Think of it this way... Technically we are all here supporting each other thru work, and friendship... If this was RL - and we were coworkers... We'd all be seeing each other daily... So whats the big deal? It isn't a test to see who is the best looking, noone is going to beg to have the pic removed... Its so we can put a face to the post, we will know who we are talking to and learning from and sharing with....
you make a valid point. i will get one together and post it later. but on one condition: i don't want you ladies hitting on me!
Ok Ok... I wont force ya'll... (even tho I did put mine up :P ) If and when ya'll are ready.. We'd ... or at the very least I'd love to see who I'm chatting with! So when you're ready.. I'll be here.. *I made Big Timer - Happy Dance*
*holds up right hand* I swear I will TRY to control myself!
[quote:11e9f092ed="fpworld"]*holds up right hand* I swear I will TRY to control myself![/quote:11e9f092ed] that's what they all say!
haha@edwin. That's pretty funny!!
i think you can even make your picture you avatar.
:lol: edwin!!! What can I POSSIBLY say to that one?? and Tom... You're right.. You can... but first you have to be willing to post a pic :P
let me take a moment to congratulate fpworld. she is now our second BigTimer. congratulations, you earned it! 8O
:lol: Aww Shucks! Thanks!! .. Even better still couple more posts and a beat edwin ;-)
more like a "couple million" to beat edwin :)
pictures huh? let me see what i can dig up......
How come I can't make pictures smaller? When I try they get fuzzy?
What program are you using?? if its not PSP 7+.. get it!! I will show you how to make them smaller without screwing them up
Frederico? Do you have yahoo? If you do I will go online and walk you thru it... I've been there done that and messed up so many pictures because of programs and settings.. so I know the feeling.... Look in my profile and get my yahoo ID ... or if you don't have yahoo just post here....
It is some thing called Picture It.
Is there anyway you can download PSP here - http://www.jasc.com/products/paintshoppro/ Free for a month... and its the best.... but you have to fix a couple settings in it once downloaded... or it gets pixalated <sp?>
Yay! At last, a General Discussion folder! What this site needed! Now we can waste time! :P
nothing worst than that fuzziness in shrunken pictures.
i know how to email.. isn't that pathetic?? **looking at pic that is HUGE!!!**
If you guys want, you can email me the pics and I'll shrink them for you...
haha... the "kids" can't make their pics smaller !!!!
what address would i send that to? **blushing in embarassment**
andrea@fpworld.com
i'll get that along!
[quote:224e603347="tom"]haha... the "kids" can't make their pics smaller !!!![/quote:224e603347] looks like a job for a BigTimer!
*flips hair* Yeah the one in the lead :lol: :P
Feathers - You should have the pic back... :) Great pic btw!
thanks so much andrea. it was the happiest day of my life! thanks for also resizing! you're the best :wink: http://www.geocities.com/featherish17/index.html
awww *blush* Shucks! Thanks.... Hey .. cool we got 2 pics up... who's next.. anybody???
i'm filming some action sequences now. i'll release the stills later :)
i will stand in line for those photos, edwin!
Me First Me First.. It was my idea :P
i knew a woman who thought a 16 page was thread was huge!
[quote:b49960190b="edwin"]i knew a woman who thought a 16 page was thread was huge![/quote:b49960190b] for one day maybe.
This is going to be a "first" but I'm at a total loss for how to respond to this one... LMAO!!!
[quote:fe96611d5e="fpworld"]This is going to be a "first" but I'm at a total loss for how to respond to this one... LMAO!!![/quote:fe96611d5e] i am taking a mental snapshop of this moment!
:lol: :oops:
looks like this thread is over! and it is short of the 16 pages!
not yet. i find it hard to believe that fp is left speechless!!
she's probably rebooting! she took the lead from me somehow. :P
Wow, I read all of page 9 and was completely confused out of my mind. reading 8 more pages may not be worth the loss of confusion though.
i hope you enjoyed reading those pages as much as we enjoyed writing them ! :roll:
you have catchin up to do.. shuffle your feet, lose your seat!!
Jeez.. I leave for a few minutes and you think its over?? I think not my dears!!!!!!!!!!!
i really didn't believe that. after all, you are the current post leader !
:lol: only by about 8 or so.. (2 of mine don't count!)
that is still a LOT. 8) im starting to get nervous!
Lol that's what I should have done to get my forums started... Had a giant prize for the post leader after a month.
post leader is a highly sought after title! i had it for a few days.
I'm still waiting for my prize... *sniffs and pouts pretty* .. hehe (wonders where all these "digging up pictures" are !! Hmmmmm FWR how 'bout u????
the photographer is over right now. these modeling sessions take hours!
:lol: mmhmmm sure... I've done modeling.. don't take THIS long :P I coulda had 5 sets of 50+ pics done by now ....
this is a very important pictorial! it just takes time!
:lol: I think you're just going for anticipation factor!
[quote:ac88a17852="fpworld"]:lol: I think you're just going for anticipation factor![/quote:ac88a17852] it's working too! :)
Yeahyeahyeah...*grumbles I hate it when you're right!* LOL
f-w-r ran away when you asked about his picture! you are scaring everyone!
*hangs head* K... I'm gonna go work then... *sniffs*
me too. i will finish up my photo shoot and meet you back here later!
lol, I can hardly wait!
Just what I want to see, pictures of dorky webmasters.
I didn't think I looked *THAT* bad!!!! *peeks over shoulder making sure edwin isn't on... * *crawls back into my work hole*
I didn't even see your picture. Now I feel bad! I was just making an off hand comment.
hehe s'ok :) Don't bother me... Way I look at it... You don't like it .. don't look .. Just had to tease a little... after all Feathers and I were the only ones who......... had pics available!
it's because they are jealous of our beauty!!
Ahhhhhhhhh I knew there was a reason!! :wink:
:D Guy Webmasters hide thier light under a bushel barrell.. that's what I hear anyhow! :(
I decided to withhold my comments due to the fact I can't duck but so much! *ducks from the flying objects from my programmers!*
Flying objects from programmers. Now that's a scary thought :)
You're tellin' me!!! It is very scary!
i try to stay away from flying objects! 8O
unless it's a plane going to the Bahamas.. :D
Ohhhhh The Bahamas! That is 2x in one day someone has brought those up!! It must be a sign... Tropical Drinks.... Swim Up Bars... Beautiful Weather.. Sandy Beaches... I want to gooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! *groan*
white sand beaches.
I give!! No more torture please.... Crystal Clear Water... White Warm Sand... *groan*
they always play those commercials for the bahamas and jamaica in the winter time. i wonder why!
"she" is quiet today. perhaps her lead is in jeopardy :)
[quote:ac6a01788c="edwin"]"she" is quiet today. perhaps her lead is in jeopardy :)[/quote:ac6a01788c] lol :lol
If *I* am the "she" you are refering to! Awww.. you just missed me :P Had to go shopping!!! But I'm back.. and my lead will never be in jeopardy
i hate when i have to shop. i call it "going out for supplies"
I'm the exact opposite.. I *love* to shop! I call it "wasting money!" :lol:
i need to get better clothes and jewelry. my image is really shabby.
Gotta get stylin!! as my daughter says... :) (2 y/o is to smart for me!)
i didn't even realize 2 year olds could talk!
Neither did I ... but I can't shut mine up! LOL
lol :) do you take video of her? stuff to show her 20 years from now?
Ohhh Yeah!! I have plenty of material for her first date... Husband-To-Be... General Bribery! hehe.. I have it ALL....
back when i was a kid they only had like one or two still photos. not entire MOVIES of embarassing moments!
Me too.. but this is oh so much more fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah. there is no denying video. poor kid doesn't stand a chance.
Kids. Can't live with them. Can't live without them!
fortunately only one photo of me as a lad survives.
To quote a friend.. "kids can't live with them.. can duct tape them" *shakes head* there was only one photo of me my mother had to hold over my head.. because none of the others bothered me ... and it mysteriously dissappeared about 10 years ago...
i love mysteries. now we can only speculate what happened.
probably she got rid of the evidence!
Noone can prove it!!!!!! I'm innocent I tell ya!
i'll take your word for it :)
yeah, nothing quite like the old photos to drag out and embarrass you.. **oh look, here's one with her naked when she was 3!!** thanks ma..
that's why i always come up missing around picture time.
i don't like your sad face smiley, edwin. it depresses me.
i am really sorry to hear that :(
[quote:140ec47920="edwin"]i am really sorry to hear that :([/quote:140ec47920] i didn't mean to make you sad. :(
i'm not really sad. i was watching videos. i like the one about "Stacy's Mom" stacys mom. she's got it going on.. i might be wrong...but i'm in love with stacy's mom.
Stacy's mom is pretty hot. I like when Stacy catches the kid in the bathroom at the end. Funny stuff :)

what the heck was that? i was replying to fpworld in the hello forum! LOL
i guess if you want to be post leader, not every post can be a beauty :)
[quote:69bd906347="tom"]i guess if you want to be post leader, not every post can be a beauty :)[/quote:69bd906347] you got that right!
edwin, i passed you up! you aren't as tough as you used to be!
LOL I was wondering what that email meant.... I guess now we're even on "booboo" posts??? :P
LOL... that post made absolutely no sense in that context. looked like edwin just escaped from a mental hospital! :D
LOL Why do you think I didn't respond... I was trying to figure out what in the world the gift was! ....
it's good to see edwin smiling again!
Definantly good!!!
he's taking the loss of posting leader status quite well. i guess he's getting used to it :)
I've noticed... I dunno.. It was so much more fun being posting leader when he would fight for it ....*sigh*
maybe he lost the will to fight!
Nah.. Not him!! He's just planning his strategy!! its gotta be that!
sort of like playing "Battleship" maybe he's planning a strategy to get it back.. :D **sitting in the corner plotting out his plan**
E4 F4 Sunk the PT Boat!
i really can't imagine edwin would give up. there's too much at stake!

:lol: nonono.... I shall stay strong and post as quick as my lil fingers can do so!!! I will stay [b:bc271cce3b]Posting Leader [/b:bc271cce3b]~dramatic music plays~
be brave little soldier!
So who's gonna be the first one to break the "big Timer" title ?
i will. i'm note even sure if there are ranks beyond that. but there will need to be! :idea:
i'm a bit of a laggard, but i hear post count is 100 to hit that prestigious status..
it takes a lot of work and determination, but you can do it :)
I'm not even in the running. I can admit when I've been defeated!
OK, admitedly closed tags should not be displayed correctly so that you know that it's wrong. However, I thought we were discussing tag variation in differant browsers and weird rules that other languages have that HTML is blessed not to have
good luck to you all. you will need it :)
good luck to you too, edwin! :roll:
Why does this thread have so many hits? Do people really read it from the beginning?
i will soon pass fpworld. i think she got hit by the hurricane!
[quote:fe2b4d3223="edwin"]i will soon pass fpworld. i think she got hit by the hurricane![/quote:fe2b4d3223] let's hope not!
Sorry everyone... No.. I didn't get hit too bad with the hurricane.. Had some downed wires and stuff... but nothing to dramatic.... It was my step-daughters 8th bday party yesterday.. so my house was full all day and evening (slumber party) and couldn't come on... :) So nope..I'm Ok.. I'm back.. and I'm staying ahead! :P
hehe, that's not as dramatic as a hurricane! you still have a slim lead, but these other posters are hungry!
hehe Tom... s'ok.. they can stay hungry... I'm going to fight .... *raises eyebrow* Looks like YOU are the one I have to worry about right now :wink: :lol:
somehow i knew it wouldn't be so easy! :D
Nothing in life worth having ever is :wink:
there were no newbies to show up, so i couldn't even pad my post count with "hello" posts.
A newbie shortage! Now that's a dilemna! :cry:
more like a newbie drought! by the way, i like your pelican avatar, Frederico.
I wonder why people join a forum if they don't want to talk about the problems they are having? or share their knowledge? I guess I just don't make a very good "lurker"
i guess they are "shy". i have overcome my own shyness! :roll:
Shyness is definately a factor... :oops:
i can understand shyness in "real life"... but not on the web! you are already anonymous for the most part.
[quote:6d02711527="edwin"] by the way, i like your pelican avatar, Frederico.[/quote:6d02711527] Thanks! I really put a lot of effort into it! :king
The one thing I've never been in RL or Online.. is Shy... I agree with you Tom, don't see why anyone would be shy online.. BTW .. Cool.. We're "Heavy Hitters" now...
there aren't many "Heavy Hitters" here. very elite crowd :) :king
i shall be a heavy hitter someday.. :cry: i have a lot of work to do..
i still haven'yt got to novice status yet..
Don't worry Feathers.. you're almost there!!!
i think i was a "novice" once for a very brief time. :D
:lol: Only 'cause tom kept changing our names that day :P
i just noticed i have a new rank! haha! my parents are going to be so proud when they find out their boy is a HEAVY HITTER!
:lol: Definantly something to be proud of... *sighs* My daughter just said .. "ok" and ran... *claps hands for myself* (and I suppose for edwin too :P)
but the rank i truly crave is HEAVIEST hitter! :P
hehe Nah... shall forever be held by moi ...
forever is a very long time!
More title's are going to have to be created for ya both when you break the 100k markers....which will probably happen before forever comes. :?
hehe we strive to keep tom on his toes ;-)
100,000 posts? seems easily doable :)
i will have to think of a really good rank for a person with 100,000 posts. and try not to insult them at the same time :)
100,000 posts! I'm almost there! :P
Tom- Can't wait to see what you come up with! after all.. I shall be there first!! ;-) *giggle*
well i'll start thinking of it now. so when by the time someone hits it, it will be a doozy :)

makes sense to me. i might be able to get past being a kid :)
At 100k posts, we'll have just about solved all the internet issues :!:
[quote:37222cb36b="feathers"]makes sense to me. i might be able to get past being a kid :)[/quote:37222cb36b] you are already a novice and well on your way to Heavy Hitter status! :P
Feathers.. 2 more for you and you're changing!!! Woohoo! As for solving all the internet issues in 100k.. so not possible... is it?
featherish won't be a heavy hitter just yet. i think everyone has forgotten about BigTimer status. i was one of those for like a day i think.
A BigTimer! That's always been one of my dreams!
:lol: edwin, you are correct.. I completely forgot about it ... after all I too was only one for a day or two :P
bigtimer was a short lived but pleasant memory!
i did it! i did it! i did it! i did it! i'm BIG TIME now!! hurray for me!!
congratulations. i know the 10 minutes i spent as a bigtimer were some of the happiest moments of my life!
I can only dream about that kind of status!

*claps hands for feathers* Congrats Sweetie! Knew you could do it!!
** clapping ** :P
the few. the proud. the bigtimers!
whew hewwwww................. it almost feels as if i have won the lottery.. well, maybe not quite.... :wink:

[quote:489a30910a="BigRob"]I'm still a "novice"! Yeck![/quote:489a30910a] i hear ya. get to work.
i think this would be a great topic for MTV's "Made". i wanna be made into a posting leader.
Made? 'fraid i don't know what you're talking about here.. I'm "out of the loop" on this one.. :oops:
you never saw "made"? well your assignment is to click on MTV this saturday at noon and watch an episode!
:lol: never saw the show... but can we all fight for the title on the show?? :P
we can always fight for the title!
This is a good thing! Without competition.. life can be sooo boring! ;-)
i think they say it best in "made". how far would you go for a dream?
[quote:46789bdc8c="tom"]i think they say it best in "made". how far would you go for a dream?[/quote:46789bdc8c] i will: 1) do whatever it takes 2) win by any means necessary! :twisted:

You'll have to fight hard edwin!! Come on Feathers.. Post like you've never posted before!!! I don't mind losing to you.. but these boys can't get the best of us!!

:lol: Ohhh Ok.. hehe *sends and ice pack for your head* :oops:
at least he isn't in sixth! sixth is a lousy position!
:lol: *stands on a podium* I Apologize for edwin to whoever is in 6th place! He's just upset .. 'cause he's in 3rd!!
no one even knows the name of the person in 6th!
[quote:49a614910a="edwin"]no one even knows the name of the person in 6th![/quote:49a614910a] same with 7, 8, 9 etc :)

haha. poor edwin!
My bad... #8 is Luthor! :oops:
we forgot luthor? that must mean he's forgettable!
No, it was just lack of Coffee in my system... :P I could never forget Luthor! :wink:
I see you've been promoted to SuperHeavyweight. congratulations!
Ohhh That is soooo Cool!!!! Congrats to you to Tom!!!
its like a non stop carnival in here :) woo hoo!
:lol: You're catching up to me Tom... I gotta do something to stop you! :P
there is no stopping me. i am a posting machine!
[quote:089827abad="tom"]there is no stopping me. i am a posting machine![/quote:089827abad] a rusty one!
[quote:8784285c37="tom"]we forgot luthor? that must mean he's forgettable![/quote:8784285c37] Hey now! That was a cold shot.
Isn't he sooo mean Luthor?? I truly am so very sorry... I somehow missed your name! Please forgive me :wink:
'Tis okay. I am but a novice.
Not for long! :) You're almost there :D You can do it!!!
he's like 30 posts away! he'll never make it!
Awww You're just afraid you're going to have a run for your money with him! ...
I have no idea where I stand in ths. Have to go check out the members list.. or look at my post count after I post this..
only 56.. well 57 now. Like Heinz 57!! Almost as good as A1.
Good Job Brigid.. You'll be with us before you know it!! hehe A1!! Andrea=#1 ... How fitting...
[quote:4ee6761d16="Brigid"]only 56.. well 57 now. Like Heinz 57!! Almost as good as A1.[/quote:4ee6761d16] haha! almost 60! you're only like a million behind now!
This from the man who is 33 behind me! :roll:
my god! 33! i had no idea it was getting this bad.
The benefits of insomnia! You stay ahead of the game :P
yeah. i feel i have betrayed my status of SuperHeavyWeight!
[quote:4e281c71b6="edwin"]yeah. i feel i have betrayed my status of SuperHeavyWeight![/quote:4e281c71b6] indeed you have. i can't imagine you recovering from such a huge deficit either.
*hums the theme to Rocky* Awww come on .. you can do it!!
i think edwin is tired and played out!
not me. i don't quit and i don't play!
:lol: Go Edwin Go Edwin!! You tell him!
ya! ya!
[quote:75e4a37fc9="edwin"]ya! ya![/quote:75e4a37fc9] very impressive post! but I guess when you're behind by as many posts as you are, every one helps :)
I sense a lot of hostility between the SuperHeavyWeights! Us novices don't have this problem.
:lol: I have no hostility *angelic smile*
me neither. just jealousy. from edwin :)
you are lulling yourself into a false sense of security. :roll:
[quote:3016d6d122="edwin"]you are lulling yourself into a false sense of security. :roll:[/quote:3016d6d122] might be because of my huge lead :)
:roll: Men!! Huge Leads... Huge Paychecks... Huge Ego's !! :roll:
poor edwin is really lagging. i doubt he can catch up.
I enjoy being a novice. Less pressure.
:lol: Rob... Just wait.. soon you will transform to the Big Time... and thats when the power goes to your head ;-)
rumors of my demise are greatly exagerated!
[quote:76527ffd74="edwin"]rumors of my demise are greatly exagerated![/quote:76527ffd74] your demise maybe. but rumors of your post count deficit are all true :)

umm. well. oh yeah? ! :lol:
Come on Edwin, Ya have to get back in the race... I'll cheer for ya... 8)

:)
[quote:b75b6be0fd="edwin"]:)[/quote:b75b6be0fd] has it really come to this? a smiley face "post". how tawdry!
:lol: The king of one faced posts??
if posting leader comes down to one post we're going to have to disallow edwin's one smiley "commentary" above ;)
Oh Definantly!! There should be more rules... such as only one face post a day.. otherwise it could get really unfair! :lol:
i would think of a lot more rules to screw edwin up... if he wasn't so far behind
keep dreaming! i have nearly caught up.
i decided to change my avatar today. i feel like being a "ducky" not that anyone cares, or should, but since the rules of the race have yet to be defined, i figured it was worth a commentary!!
:lol: Feathers.. I like your ducky!!! Very "featherish" :wink:
congrats on your new avatar! may it bring you as much happiness as mine has!
[quote:0afa1b123e]may it bring you as much happiness as mine has![/quote:0afa1b123e] i hope not! your avatar looks like he's constipated, needs some mallox or something!! :D

You're always frowning and in need of Malox??? I think you're bluffing.. I bet you smile more then you're willing to admit!
this avatar could be my twin.
[quote:6d4e245fe8="edwin"]this avatar could be my twin.[/quote:6d4e245fe8] lucky you. :oops:
Just a big yellow constipated head with no body ? I hope it's not your twin... 8O
i am seriously contemplating changing my avatar. it has server me well for the last 300 posts though.
[quote:34cd7266f9="edwin"]i am seriously contemplating changing my avatar. it has server me well for the last 300 posts though.[/quote:34cd7266f9] servered you well? you are mister webmaster 24x7 aren't ya?
[quote:04ce1ecadb]server me well[/quote:04ce1ecadb] hehe.. 300 posts should put a smile on that avatar.. if nothing else!
Thanks for the compliment, fpworld.. i thought today would be a good day to be "ducky"
all servers all the time. and i happen to LIKE this avatar! i viewed all 2,000 of them and this one is the one that resonated to me. it spoke to me.
:lol: Feathers... Edwin.. What did it say?? :wink: I say if it truly resembles you.. keep it.. *dramatic voice* we'll find a way to deal with the frowns somehow!
its understandable. i have a "lucky avatar" too.
Looks like we all believe in our avatars.... :D Guess that means we all have to live with them! :lol:
unhappy harry is my pet name for my avatar. he's my friend.
:lol: Why is your friend unhappy? Did he tell you?
I feel like my avatar is somehow related to Edwin's....but sort of a cross between good and evil.... and in desperate need of some Malox.
its a ghostly avatar for sure. sort of scary.
Ahh Chance.. Yours is a complicated one.. the opposite ends of the universe... Good v Evil... Health v Sickness .... Love v Hate ... and oh so much more... One of my favorite symbols ever! Yin/Yang
looks more like a ghostly smiley than the ying/yang symbol. i guess chance took it to symbolize his concern over the duality of nature.
hmm. could be any number of things.
I guess it shall be what each of us believes it to be :lol: (but if you look closely .. it is yin/yang :lol: :P )
definitely a ghost! just in time for halloween!
i think its just a poorly drawn avatar.
I prefer my understated avatar. I can forever be a "STAR" (not that I'm not one anyway..)
I used to have a star. Where did it go?
Did you check under the couch cushions? :wink: Sometimes your avatar gets erased.. just reset it.. happened to me before too :)
i would be crushed if my avatar was ever erased!
Me too.. I like being a Goddess! *bats eyelashes*
every day i say a prayer to the avatar gods that unhappy harry will be protected. so far its working!
so far it IS working. but for how long?
I have no emotional attachment to my avatar.
[quote:c3de68f04b]Did you check under the couch cushions?[/quote:c3de68f04b] **Singing an old Hee-haw tune** I looked the world over and thought I found true love and **boom** she was gone! Whats a girl to do??
hee haw? i haven't heard that one in awhile.
hee haw was a very deep show. very intellectual.
I agree Edwin.. boy do I miss hee haw *sighs at the memories* :lol:
no more hee haw, but at least i still have my avatar.
hee haw sucked. and so does unhappy harry. :roll:
*gasps* Either you are too young to appreciate heehaw... or tsktsk you need therapy!
I'm shopping for an avatar now. I'll let you all know when I've picked it.
i tend to agree that hee-haw stunk to high heaven. that was a bonus show on 3 channel networks of the 70's. i could add a few more to the bad programming of the 70's. - solid gold - star trek - that superhero guy on saturday mornings that featured really bad godzilla flicks.. hmmmm.. i'll have to thin for some more.. keep ya posted!!
[quote:983b422c30="BigRob"]I'm shopping for an avatar now. I'll let you all know when I've picked it.[/quote:983b422c30] you don't even have the little default star! how is yours blank exactly?
I don't think it is a good idea to get too involved with an avatar. In life, you will have many avatars.
How very Philosophical Frederico.. :D I like that theory!
you will only "truly love" three avatars though.
Why only 3?? Odd number to pick
Well the XHTML "movement" is trying to push towards standards of proper, neat mark-up's like: [code:1:a54912b60d] <table> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </table> [/code:1:a54912b60d] Instead of leaving the 'td' open. I actually went through and verified my html, xhtml, and css for a page, and that alone fixed multiple problems I was having with crossbrowser viewing. When I was sucked into Mr. Globalism Gates' monopoly back in the day I never worried about that stuff, but until you have the ability to view your page from different aspects, you normally don't. Now that I am using Linux I am constantly aware of things that DON'T display right in IE, but DO in other browsers, and Visa Versa. It's a pain but when you get done making sure your page looks identicle, besides maybe fonts, in IE, Mozilla, Konqueror, Opera and Safari, it's one hell of a nice feeling ;)[/code]
uh i don't know. i think i heard that somewhere :)
i think it was 3 women, not 3 avatars :)
I don't think you should love your avatar. If you find yourself loving your avatar too much, make sure to go outside and get a deep breath.

i haven't crossed any lines. i don't even see a line!
*points to the line on the floor* See edwin.. its right there.. Tom said so :lol: :P
yeah edwin. if you don't see the line, of course you stepped over it!
*** looks around *** still nothing! :roll:
you have crossed over the line! so of course you cant see it. :idea:
:lol: Turn around.. since you're already across it.. maybe if you look BEHIND you... it will be there? ... *looks for a can of neon spray paint...*
**** looks around some more ***** still nothing! :P
Edwin, Da Nile is not just a river in Egypt :)
I'm starting to like the "no avatar" look myself. Elegant and simple.
Sounds kinda generic... but, to each their own..
i think you should keep the little dog. have a little personality at least.
Hey Edwin.... I just found something for ya. ___________________________________________________________
I would have to agree with Tom here...
[quote:e3342d696d="Chance"]Hey Edwin.... I just found something for ya. ___________________________________________________________[/quote:e3342d696d] cool. let me know what it is when you get a chance.

lol. and i actually thought i was getting a prize! :D btw, congrats on the fact you have almost risen a rank!
:lol: Good One Chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! None of us thought to physically show him like that! Perfect! hehe

I think Edwin gets it now :)
Yep, would be long now for me to break the novice level... Although, you all have to be close on a new level, should be interesting to see what it will be called. :)

Congrats Chance on you're new status!! Sorry I'm a little late.. had a bizzy day!
there is a new Grand Prize every 50 posts now. ranks 'o' plenty. :king
:lol: I like your new avatar Tom!!! Stylish!
i don't like the new avatar. in fact i hate change! when i see tom i expect to see bugs bunny. not some weird duck with a bad haircut!
:lol: thats not a duck.. thats a badly drawn boy I think....
a boy that looks like a duck maybe. i dont like him!

his name is francois. i think :)
a love affair on the 'net.. how cute!!
I have made my debut as one of the "coolest cats" on this website. :) My star got lost somewhere along the way, so here I come
that is a very cool cat :)
Definantly a "Cool Cat" Brigid... :) I like it!
the only really bad avatar is edwin's. just absolutely horrible.
Tom :lol: thats not very nice!!! His is just .. ummm unique...
i am flabbergasted! take it back, tom!!!!!!!!!! 8O
Thanks all for such a great reception! I feel like a beauty walking down the runway in a Dior gown.. OK.. maybe that's a little exaggerated, but I feel special anyhow... :D

Edwin.. Maybe if you'd take yourself to the restroom, your avatar wouldn't look so uuuuhh, uncomfortable? :)
I happen to like Edwin's avatar. It brings a smile to my face when I visit here.

bigrob! congats on your bigtimer status upgrade! i am almost posting leader again! il will be by this evening!
Congrats BigRob... And Edwin.. I don't think so.. Just because my hub crashed and I wasn't online during the day.. doesn't mean you shall over take me!! Never Never Never
you should never use a hub. buy a switch at once. all your network problems will disappear forever.
It's a switched hub with a router and we back it up with a firewall.... We don't use just a switch because it wouldn't give us enough functionality for the number of computers we have hooked in... We work at home...
well in that case i will allow it :) LOL
:lol: Why thank you Edwin! I'm so very glad .... :P
my god you are a POWER POSTER! i wanna be one too.
I'm a POWER POSTER Girl .. Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man.. I'm good!
my god. the first POWER POSTER in history and it isn't me!
Don't worry Edwin.. You'll make it here soon!! have no fear! :) 2nd or 3rd isn't that bad ... :P
i am in 2nd. tom is waaaay behind.
*looks at Toms post count* Tsk Tsk Tom.. he's right.. just yesterday you were number 2... *shakes head* Come on!! Catch up with us..
tom was too busy optimizing for "deer front page templates": http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=frontpage+deer+templates&ei=UTF-8&fr=fp-top&cop=mss
:lol: Well.. its always good to .. ummm... diversify?
i bet he's going after duck templates next :)
or blue hair templates.... Hey :lol: we all gotta do what we gotta do..
ya gotta do what ya gotta do! hard to argue with that!
*clutching my heart* OMG.... Edwin!!! Your avatar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That doesn't look like Edwin! What have you done with Edwin? :lol:
it is me my friends! i am just trying to be hep and get with the times :)
WHOA! i am amazed! 8O
So anyway.... I'm a BigTimer...have you heard?
Congrats Edwin... On you're recent upgrade in status!! 'bout time :P and LOL BigRob...
thank you. i would like to thank all the little people who made it possible!
EDWIN! Holy moley.. I didn't recognize you !!
[quote:87493e4b34="feathers"]EDWIN! Holy moley.. I didn't recognize you !![/quote:87493e4b34] thats why change is bad! see what i mean :)
:lol: Oh Puhleez.. Change isn't bad.. you like the fact that you shocked all of us into almost calling 911 for our hearts!
nice profile! it's good to see that you picked a "big head" to go along with your big post count! :D
[quote:a7d43feed4="Brigid"]nice profile! it's good to see that you picked a "big head" to go along with your big post count! :D[/quote:a7d43feed4] HUGE post count. big is for people under Power Poster status :)
i am a power poster, did you know that?
congrats on a job well done, edwin! :)
thank you! thank you! it wasn't easy but i persevered!
:lol: And yet.. I STILL beat you! :P
you haven't beaten me. you are currently beating me. it's a temporary condition :)
LOL Thats lasted ummmm HOW LONG?? ... :P
irrelevant. it is not a permanent condition :)
I dunno Edwin.. its starting to seem to be :wink:
BWAAA HAAA!!!!!!!!! :idea:
*raises eyebrow* I do believe you would not be at the number you are without your "padded" posts :P
BWAAAA HAAA!!!!!!!!!!! :P
Yeah. That's some low content posting there Edwin! Bad boy :)
I think "Bwaa haa" posts should not be counted!
I agree with BigRob... sooo not fair that he can laugh and up his post count However.. even with the padded posts... I'm STILL Posting Leader *bows to the crowd*
I think if there's a tie, Edwin can't win. Because of the faux posts.
I look up to all of you power posters!
[quote:a79a14f071="Frederico"]I look up to all of you power posters![/quote:a79a14f071] and you should. it is prestige at its best :)
Prestige :)
I think PowerPoster has gone to Tom's and Edwin's heads!! One worded and laughing posts... TskTsk.. I'm shocked!
I didn't even realize I had made it yet. I hardly feel different.
LOL Its just a new feeling.. it will hit you soon... Congrats :wink:
by the time i am done you will need many new titles!
I like the new title ! Looks like a couple of you changed your avatars.
i have decided to roll with the changes! new avatar but same old reliable edwin. :king
*faints dead away* Less the 7 days since Harry.. and you're on your second avatar!! I don't know what to do with myself! Nice choice btw... somehow.. it suits you.... :P
put some paddin' in yer posts :)
[quote:b63bf4a0bb="edwin"]put some paddin' in yer posts :)[/quote:b63bf4a0bb] Is that your secret for success?
How would Edwin know the secrets of success? J/K :)
hehe.. that's a good one edwin, what is it exactly?
hehe Searchy.. that's what I was going to say :P
I don't like Edwins new avatar. It reminds me of something unspeakable.
*claps hands* Congrats Searchy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You made it to Big Timer!!!
Way to go Searchey! BT BT BT!
[quote:03096519ff]. It reminds me of something unspeakable.[/quote:03096519ff] thats sort of what I thought, but beings I'm lady I didn't want to come right out and say it!
:lol: Feathers.. you're not the only one ...
then maybe you "ladies" out to get your minds out of the gutter. congrats to searchey, i guess. i mean bigtimer is a like a baby rank but congrats anyway :)
:lol: Thank You Edwin... Us "ladies" appreciate it .. right Feathers :wink: and *bop on the head* Hey! You be nice.. it is not a "Baby Rank" ... Big Timer is awesome..
BWAAA HAAAAAAAA 8O
Right on FP.. :) Having your mind in the gutter is better than being out of your mind!! hehe..
Ohhh Jeez.. There goes the padded posts again!! *sigh* You know.. whats really great?? is even with his padded posts.. he's still BEHIND ME!!!!!!!!!!
[quote:ddc11fdb55="edwin"]BWAAA HAAAAAAAA 8O[/quote:ddc11fdb55] That is really very deep :)
he is indeed still behind you.. **I'm still behind both of you!!** Got lotsa posting to do to to ever hope of catching up!! :)
[quote:1ecfe99d93]That is really bery deep [/quote:1ecfe99d93] bery deep tom!
hey!!!! listen!!!!!!!!!
:lol: Tom and Feathers.... and Yes Edwin??? What would you like us to listen too??? :P
since he's become Drill Sargeant Edwin :) or G.I. Edwin Power Poster **whichever he prefers**
Powerless Poster... has sort of a nice ring to it.
not very fair to the folks who have been power posting :(
[quote:a95152e297="feathers"]not very fair to the folks who have been power posting :([/quote:a95152e297] yeah. like me mainly!
It's going to be difficult to keep dreaming up new titles that sound bigger than the last though...... 8)
Nah.. I have faith in Tom .... he can do it!
I'm gonna need one soon it looks for 500 pounds! Ohhh wait, I got it! :P
I've been dusted. Maybe I should write some poetry to convey the pain I feel for being so behind...
good old tommy boy is gonna have to think of lots of ranks. :x
I wonder what it is.... hmmm...... I'll know within a couple days :lol:
Woe, woe, woe is me, A power poster wannabe. Watching edwins post counts go up unsensibly, padding posts to noteriety. I am in a novice indefinitely. Composed by Ms. B a tribute to my friends here at web-mastery.net one day I will catch up with all of you.

hehe.. you should be honored that someone would write a poem in your honor.. :) i thought only Police officers checked sobriety..
maybe i just need a checkup from the neckup??
throws arms up in celebration, I am now a 'contender' **hurray for me**
Wonderful poems you two :lol: WooHoo... Congrats Feathers!
featherish, nice job on the baby rank! 8O
THX. i'll prolly be able to break on through one of these days!! i really wanna be a power poster when i grow up!
you are now a contender for the title. if you wanna be a power poster you should imitate fpworld: just post some short nonsense post and pad your count. :x
We are all contenders. Your fingers might give out Edwin :)
IMITATE ME????? Padding Posts?????? If I'm not mistaken.. *I* am not the one who uses "laughing" for a post... :P At least my posts contain more then 2 words Edwin dear... :P
Here I thought I could pad my bra and make it count for something. :(
:lol: Brigid... Don't worry Honey.. its your mind we're after... not your bra size (no comments boys!) ... :wink:
of all the things I miss, I miss my mind the most.. hehe.. I will pad my bra anyways! And become a power poster someday! :)
Hey.. you can think of it this way.. 9 more posts and you'll be on the next level :wink:
Many people closing in on new ranks!
you have a great point fpworld! padding bras, padding posts.. hmmm .. i'm ready to be a contender!
You're going to give some of these poor guys heartfailure thinking about padded bras! LOL Edwin tho just likes padded posts :P
i'm all about the padding.
if you know what i mean.
keep this in mind concerning the next level. its hotter than a tea kettle.
You know Edwin... You're such a cheater :P Everyone knows that even if you do pass my post count... that you cheat :P
huh? moi? :?
Oui vous Edwin, qui autrement I probablement parleriez?
I doubt Edwin can speak any foreign languages!
holy crap! a french speaking 900 pound gorilla!! way to go fp!
French, Italian, and Spanish... (with help here and there with all the above.. ) and Thanks!! But still.... A Gorilla???????????
i wish i was a 900 pound gorilla! but i can't win with all these cheaters! :P
:lol: Oh You mean those of us who call you on your padded posting?? *bats eyelashes innocently*
900 pounds is far from 'featherish' :? I've got a ways to go to be a gorilla, or 900 pounds for that matter!
the 900 pound gorilla gets to sit wherever he/she wants ! plus its hard to move them out of the way!
:lol: That is very good point... never thought of it that way..
The 900 pound Gorilla can't be beat :)
that's what i wanna be!
You know.. I bet here is the only place in the world you can find people honestly willing to admit to wanting to be a 900lb Gorilla :wink:
because its so HUGE! i :D
Not only do I see huge post counts but I also see huge egos at play!
huge skills is what i see. and ambition :)
Yawn. How was that post, Edwin?
[quote:896c34f6d5="BigRob"]Yawn. How was that post, Edwin?[/quote:896c34f6d5] which post? the one that made me a 900 pound gorilla? it was: BWAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAA! for lack of a better word!
Congrats on your new status Edwin... :) I'm baaaaaaaack... Ya miss me???
ya! i had to ease up on the posting. none of the others could hang with me anyway :)
Welcome back. :D
I see **spam** hehehe.. :twisted:
[quote:b575b58e4a="Brigid"]I see **spam** hehehe.. :twisted:[/quote:b575b58e4a] one more post and you can be a somebody!
Come on Brigid... One More!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *claps hands*!
you can win a baby rank! :lol:
:lol: Edwin.. you're so lucky I can't smack you upside the head thru this 'puter! If I'm not mistaken... YOU were once very proud of that rank....
for like 10 minutes! before i became a 900 pound gorilla!
Hey Tom.. I think this Gorilla status has gone to poor Edwin's head!!! *shakes head* Soooo sad
gorillas, schmorrillas.. thats what I say..
[quote:efe5eccdd5="feathers"]gorillas, schmorrillas.. thats what I say..[/quote:efe5eccdd5] wrong attitude! just jealous i bet :x
She's got a pretty good rank... I think you're just upset she isn't impressed about your rather large.... padded post count :P
BWAAAA HAAAAAAAAAA! :lol:
Spam, Spam, Spam.. I said it three times.. now my wish of going up in rank will come true.. or is that bettlejuice?? :)
it did, it did!!!
you are learning fast :)
*claps hands for Brigid* GOOD JOB!!!!
Thanks all. I really needed that boost for my self-esteem!! lol@andrea and her comment about the rather large padded post count!! Thats a good one!! :D
Congrats to all the rank climbers! Good work!
*bows and :wink: * to Brigid thank you hehe
thank you brigid. my huge post count is a source of pride for me!
[quote:0f79c9b671]thank you brigid. my huge post count is a source of pride for me![/quote:0f79c9b671] de nada! Power posters such as yourself give me direction.. a focus, a goal.. something to work up to.. :wink:
FpWorld is the female role model I look up to.. :P
[quote:a4c0c2228d="Brigid"]FpWorld is the female role model I look up to.. :P[/quote:a4c0c2228d] bwaaaaa!!! we all need heros i guess!
I am going to walk in her footsteps.. Post in her shadow.. Become a power poster 6 months after her!
:oops: I'm nuffin' special! *kicks the dirt around my feet* :oops:
[quote:30a7258c5a="fpworld"]:oops: I'm nuffin' special! *kicks the dirt around my feet* :oops:[/quote:30a7258c5a] truth in that statement! :P
I think that it's noble! Not everyone can juggle the stress of life, work, kids, clients, AND still be the lead power poster!
Good point. It's not like Edwin is in the lead either. I think we need to point that out!
Aww Thanks Feather!!! :) and Edwin .. as for you... all I gotta say is ... :P :P :P :P
i hear that. and :) back at ya :)
I had to post a message.. I'm very superstitious and couldn't handle the message count being 666 ...
the thread turned EVIL for a moment. with my help of course :)
I noticed that too.. Edwin was 666.. maybe he'll cast a spell to take the lead now?? :evil:
I have had laughs reading these posts, such fun! Best Wishes, Giselle :D
we love to entertain here too.. it takes the pressure of being a full time webmaster!! :welcome to you BTW!! I like your avatar..:)
Nah.. No spell can overtake me!! I'm.. I've.. ummmm... I've casted a protection spell from evil takeover spells!! Yeah! thats it.. and you can only overtake me from hard work!!! *looks at edwins padded post count* and ummmm.. I'm not worried about him! :wink: :lol: :lol: Giselle.. Glad you are enjoying it... I have to say its definantly a stress reliever (like feathers says)
Well reading the posts brightened my day! :D Laughter and humor sure can be a stress reliever. Thank you for your comments Feathers and Ftworld on my avatar, now everyone knows what I look like, hehehehe..... Best Wishes, Giselle
I re-read this thread a couple times a day. It only takes a few hours. I learn so much! :)
...and the humor never gets stale, either!! haha
:lol: The most educational thread out there... How many Laugh's of Edwin's do we have in here?? :P
many many laughs. i have entertained 10s of webmasters :)
Indeed. It doesn't take much to entertain webmasters :)
Oops, on the serious side, [b:ce5b30f67d]FPWORLD[/b:ce5b30f67d], there I got the spelling correct, :oops: , I must have FTP on my brain, lol! Best Wishes, Giselle
Entertaining us is very easy.. that is true... Just make sure you don't use anything flashing too many colors! the flashing makes us angry! :wink: S'ok Giselle... :) Could have been lots worse :wink:
I'm still on page one of this thread. It is going to be awhile :(
I don't think its physically possible for one person to start at the beginning of this thread and not get lost long before they reach page 46... Recap: Started out as a how long we can make this thread... Arguement about posting pictures (Feathers and I were the only ones) Lots of Compliments and Congrats on Changing Status and Lots of "Laugh" posts which Edwin uses to try and catch up with me :P :lol: There.. now you're caught up! :) Stick with page #40 and up ... trust me .. it will keep your sanity! :lol:
i think it's very important to go back and read all of my posts. there are some definite gems in there :)
Gems? More like rhinestones :)
60+ pages of the corniest humor imaginable. :twisted:
I'd have to agree with Tom and say crystals/rhinestones.. at best :P hehe :lol: Rob... Some of it wasn't corny right??? Nahh... You're right... All of it was corny...
corny, yes! but still entertaining for simple minded folks! :lol:
Corny is absolutely good!!!!! Lightens up the day! :lol: Best Wishes, Giselle
well i think the cornpone ratio will stay high for awhile. especially as long as tom and fpworld are here.
Us????????? I think its definantly YOU.. more then us!
hmmm. i guess that's one way of looking at it! the WRONG way :P
I think I'll make a cheap post now. See! I did it!
*claps hands for BigRob* ... Felt good huh??? and Edwin... There is no right or wrong way.. only my way :P
Cheap posts! Sometimes you have to make them. If you're edwin, you always have to make'em :)
my posts are chock full of information! i can't believe what i'm hearing!
Some of them dear Edwin, I completely agree.. But lets be honest.. How many things can we learn from "BWAAAA HAAAAAAAAAA!"??? :P
I'm not sure what one can learn from that either, but I do know it made me laugh LOL Laughter, the best medicine! :lol: raven
Oh Boy.. I can just see the posts now.... If he beats me with laughter posts .. it'll be all your fault :P Tho I do agree with you.. laughter is the best medicine...
glad to see i'm appreciated around here :)
You've always been appreciated Edwin... we just refuse to make your ego fly :P :lol:
what would this place be wothout edwin? andrea would have nobody to have post battles with if that were the case! i know i'm running far behind!! :)
:lol: Feathers... Hey.. you're not doing that bad... you only have a few more to go before your next status! :)
i am a status hog!
[quote:5c620b78a7="edwin"]i am a status hog![/quote:5c620b78a7] That sounds like a bad thing!
it is a good thing! i love my status! :P
I have moved up quite a bit too. Very impressive.
You are one away from another big prize!
Come on Rob.. One more and you'll be a Contender!! You can do it!
You and I are both close to rank increases also!
whew hoo! This place rocks..Everyone is making ranks.. Look at Edwin's posting pranks!! :twisted:
Your poetry is really deep, Brigid!
ya. brigid has a big future in front of her! :lol:
I am a 900 pound gorilla now! :P
congrats tom! the day i became a 900 pound gorilla was one of the happiest days of my life!
Congrats Tom!!!!! :) Sorry for the delay... Was gone for a couple days... My grandfather passed away, and my father is in the hospital with heart problems :( I'm having a bad week and it hasn't even started!
sorry to hear that fpworld! hang in there. it is always darkest before the dawn.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss Andrea.. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.. Heather
Thanks Heather and Edwin! :)
no problem! just keep on keepin' on.
Congrats on your new rank FP!! :D
Thanks!! Cool.. I'm GodLike... I didn't even realize I moved up .. LOL Woohoo!
Now that's more like it! Wooo hooooo!!!
oh that is a great rank! soon it will be mine! :P
At least I have the satisfaction of knowing I got to it before you Edwin ;-) :P
ya. that's the only bad part for me! 8O
Congratulations on the rank promotion FPWorld. That is quite an accomplishment!
Congrats on yours as well Rob... (can't remember if I already congratulated you yet) ... In no time you'll be a Gorilla!
[quote:94a405c4b5="fpworld"]Thanks!! Cool.. I'm GodLike... I didn't even realize I moved up .. LOL Woohoo![/quote:94a405c4b5] Are we supposed to bow before you and stuff now? :lol: raven
Thank you FPWorld. Yes, contender status is quite a good thing! At least I'm in the running.
[quote:5a7dbffc66="BigRob"]Thank you FPWorld. Yes, contender status is quite a good thing! At least I'm in the running.[/quote:5a7dbffc66] barely! LOL :P
I bow to noone. That is my policy. :)
Bow before me??? Nah... Edwin will probably make you do that.. but not me.... You can just worship me with your keys ;-) :roll:
i don't need any praise. just knowing how great my posting accomplishments are is reward enough! :)
I admire all you big posters. You are the unsung heroes of this message board :)
Thanks Searchey! It's nice to be called a hero for something so trivial :)
Tom.. I just have to look at your avatar to know that you are a true hero. :)
Yes :) That is quite a manly portrait I have in there :)
I'm ducky! **thinking about switching it out for something more, hmmmm Better!**
I am always searching for the "perfect" avatar. So far I haven't found it.
i had the perfect avatar and jealous people made me get rid of it!
My avatar is perfect for my status... as long as you add "dess" before "like"
I am thinking of hiring an artist to make my avatar. I feel that would be very unique.
i am gonna have a new status. soon! SOON!
1 more edwin.. and you can join me in the "GodLike" status.. feels great up here...
Congrats Edwin! *throws streamers* You made it to GodLike with your post in the "Google" area... *claps hands* Hows it feel??
i can't believe it! i would like to thank the academy... i want to thank all of the little people. and most of all i want to thank my trusty keyboard!
Way to go Edwin! You're my hero :)
I am still a Novice. What is the deal with that?
You have to post 34 more times.... then you wont be a novice... 0-50= "kid" 50-100=Novice... can't remember all the ones that come after that....I think its Big Timer, then Contender
fpworld and i can't be bothered to remember all the baby ranks. we passed through them so quick! :P
:lol: thats what YOU feel... *I* on the other hand just have a LOUSY memory! :P
yeah me too. it has plagued me whole life. :P
I think I become a BigTimer next. Or was I that one already?
Meant that much to ya, eh? :lol:
:lol: Looks like Rob can't be bothered with ranks in the past either :lol:
no one can remember those easy ranks. he will remember some of the huge ranks, if he ever gets there :)
I have to come up with some truly impressive ranks in the future. Something HUGE!
2 more days till Turkey Day! I can hardly wait!
Yeah Tom.. I'm dying to know what my next rank in *peeks* around 25 or so posts ;-) Me too Brigid! I love this time of year... Second only too CHRISTMAS!! My mother is so excited about this Christmas (last year my 2 year old was VERY sick) that she's already got her tree up!
happy holidays to all! :D
Happy Turkey Day to you too. BTW, I cherish every rank I so richly deserve 8)
Happy Holidays to everyone here! I soooo look forward to this time of the year. If anyone REALLY needs to know what the "baby ranks" are around here, I'm way behind, so you can just refresh yourself as I go along! hehe!
Gobble gobble! Time to overeat today! BTW, BigTimer comes before Contender for those who forgot :)
wow did i have a lot of turkey! and it made me sleepy. i almost fell asleep at 3pm!
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving... Too much turkey.. too much stuffing.. too much everything! :D
Mine was a great Thanksgiving. And there is a medical explanation for why turkey makes you sleepy, but I forget the particulars right now.
Turkey makes you tired because of the drugs given to the turkeys before processing them :)
hehe! I think they are actually called tryptophans. Thanksgiving is always a nice day! Now it's the weekend!
You can definitely tell it's a holiday. Everything is slow except the stores. Yesterday morning they showed 700 people who lined up at 5am outside a WalMart. They were selling DVD players for $29! They sold out in 10 minutes.
Circuit City had 32" really nice TV's on sale for $199 yesterday... i imagine they sold out pretty quick too... Everything around here was competing to open earlier ... I don't think one store opened after 6:30am ... and diners and stuff were opening at 4:30am... *shakes head* Nothing could be powerful enough for me to go shopping yesterday! LOL
the day i get up at 4am because i'm excited about a sale at walmart is the day i give it up. :P
:lol: I would have to agree with you... Unless its free diamonds and I'm guaranteed to get a LOT of them ... I ain't bothering getting up for noone but my daughter at 4am There are several more shopping days.. and everyone has sales off and on from now till christmas... I don't like anyone enough to get them a TV or DVD anyways!!
everyone should have a dvd player. they have crappy ones for $29!!! no more excuses. :P
my god a woman was trampled to death because of the $29 DVD player [url=http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&e=9&u=/ap/20031129/ap_on_re_us/trampled_shopper_2]Link to Story[/url]
They will put a 29$ DVD player on hold??? A. Hope its FREE!!! B. Umm... Hope there are a few other things on "hold" This is my biggest issue with Black Friday and "major sales" ... It completely removes all the spirit and point of Christmas... Its the season of Giving, Love, Peace and Joy... Not Kill or Be Killed... There are a ton of days each store can pick randomly from now till Christmas to put stuff on major sale.... *shakes head* Hope all those people who bought DVD players that day in that store live the rest of the Christmas season in misery knowing that its possible their shoes caused this poor woman to be injured and possibly killed...
at first i thought she died but it turned out she was "only" bruised and battered. that is definitely the spirit! :P
Imagine that. The sanctity of a sale item over the sanctity of a human life. What is with people. And come on! For $29 you know that DVD player ain't that great :)
I bought a $50 one a few months back... It doesn't play the harsh copywrited DVD's (ie: DISNEY) ... and within 2 months of having it.. it quit playing around 60% of my other DVD's... I can only imagine what this wonderfully $29.00 DVD player does... Especially for those with bad Karma... I don't think any of those people trampling that poor woman earned any Karma points... half of those players probably don't work now :lol:
Bad Karma and a crappy cheap DVD player! Now that is a scary combination.
i am gonna put one of those dvd players away on lay away as soon as i can save up the two bucks :P
Good idea Edwin. You can always get it out when you're feeling a bit flush.
Maybe if you go for a long walk you'll find the two dollars in lucky pennies on the ground? ;-) :lol:
my street is paved with gold.. :) maybe you need to take a walk in my neighborhood!!
** they aren't really, but I wanted to say something clever **
** oh yeah, and pad my post count **
:lol: Congrats Feathers on your newest Rank!!!
Heavy Hitters are by far the coolest rank in my opinion! Congrats feathers on your latest accomplishment. :)
FPWorld.. You better get 4 posts in fast! Look at that count number..
well isnt that something. another new rank for an old member!
Hey.. I'm ok.. I've still got 13 or so up on him! :)
You remain unbeatable. :P
:lol: For now... ;-) Few more posts and I get to find out what creative name you came up with!
I'm sure it will be brilliant! We're all waiting for the next "Big One" :D
Indeed. The Big One!
i am at a difficult "in between rank". the only thing that keeps me posting is fpworld. i know that somewhere. "out there" she is posting her pad count. it keeps me on my toes. :P
hehe.. I'm glad I can motivate you! ;-)
Congrats on the evil post count Edwin. I always knew you had it in you. :P
Way to go Edwin! You deserve some sort of special status for that one :)
Must we encourage him? :P Hey Tom!! I made it over 700.. and I'm still GodLike?! *pouts* I was DYING to know what I was going to be next...
yeah! are we getting chincy with these ranks? :P
It takes some thought to go above Godlike. I'll be glued to my seat for the next one! :) I gotta long way to get there for sure. Congrats to edwin on his latest status update. You are my herO!
he didn't change status... I did.. he's way behind me :P
thank you. thank you. your contender status is impressive too brigid!
I've got the best avatar of all. a lil Christmas cheer Snoopy style!
**having a blonde moment** the excitement of a Christmas avatar has get me so excited my attention span.. whooosh.. you know the feeling. it's kinda like a rank change, only different.
you find yourself talking to yourself in an 72 page thread about not much of anything! :)
:lol: Feathers... Very good avatar! and its ok to talk to yourself this time of year... s'long as you don't answer all the time
most times I don't. I just had to ramble for a bit!
"saturday word game" is already almost as big as "general discussion!" madness!
that is crazy!
:lol: I guess we all seem to like padding our post counts with legit posts ;-) J/K :) Its actually a fun game.. I can see why it is
Some good mindless fun. Nothing wrong with that! :P
i like mindless fun! i wonder why! :P
Hey.. "Bigger Than Big" i like it!!!! way better then the 900lb Monkey! hehe
At this rate we'll have a million of them.
...and so many forgotten ranks left in the dust.. :wink:
Long forgotten ranks for some of you!
[quote:e8b25f8348="Searchey"]Long forgotten ranks for some of you![/quote:e8b25f8348] you ain't kidding. but congrats on all the new rank holders. :P
Yes, well done! Looks like Edwin is going to get a rank increase...at long last!
At the rate your going Tom.. you're not far behind him!
bwaaa haaaaaa
Just had to do it didn't you?? :P Congrats on your Bigger status
thank you. it is quite an honor! i want to thank all the little people! :P
De nada. Glad to help cheer you along.. :)
thanks brigid! you got a lot of class!
Looks like Saturday Word Game is beating this thread bad!
i never thought i would see the day where general discussion was this slow!
Everyone is busy getting ready for whatever holiday they celebrate this time of year... Merry Christmas, Happy Yule, Happy Chanukah (Hannikah) (which one is correct by the way anyone know?) and Happy Kwanzaa.... I don't know all the holidays people celebrate so.....Happy Holidays to one an all...
Right, it's the holiday season. It pre-occupies nearly everyone. :P
i eat a lot around the holidays! for the whole month of december.
fpworld..Happy Holidays to you, too. Glad to hear that your daughter is feeling better. 105 is a very high fever. I had the best Christmas ever :) Santa brought me everything I had on my list.. It is very hard to think that 2004 is in just a day or two.. I have already got a resolution or two in mind for 2004. Anyone else here got a New Years Resolutions?
You mean there are browsers other than Explorer?
I actually gained 7 pounds in the last week. I have been over-doing it.
:lol: what would the holidays be without a few extra pounds??? Hope everyone had a great holiday! Mine was wonderful, but still very rough.... My family always gets sick for Christmas.. and this year was no different .. my daughter was spiking 105 fevers all Christmas Eve and Day... but ... she also was feeling well enough to open all her presents so that was one up on last year (she didn't open presents till New Years...) All and All is was good... Did Santa bring all the good boys and girls something good?? Next up [b:d38e356d7c]2004 [/b:d38e356d7c]*groan* boy does time fly!
105 fever! That is tough. I hope they feel better soon!
Had a very nice holiday myself. Now just have to make it to the New Year.. it is hard to believe it actually wind up time for 2003. I had a spectacular year, and I'm planning on 2004 being even better! FPWorld.. Wowza! That is one "hot" child! Hope that she is feeling better. I'm sure Santa coming to visit probably helped some ;) Feathers.. I have a couple of different resolutions for the New Year. Just like everyone else in the world, Self Improvement is one of them. Get in better shape, exercise more, the basic kinda stuff..
Holidays are always nice! I am totally relaxed!
Yup.. Santa brought her a CareBear Castle (which is ALL she asked for for 3 months... considering she is 3 that attention span caught Santa's attention) so it was one VERY happy VERY hot child LOL she is a lot better all.. thanks for asking... We went to the docs yesterday.. and we were all downgraded from the deadly flu and high fevers to broncitis... Tis the season! New Years Resolutions? 1. Stay up in Google... and the rest.. haven't thought about them much this year.. hmmmmm
Staying on top of Google is never a bad resolution :) Did your daughter get a flu shot at all? I'm glad to hear that her doctor has upgraded her condition. There were a bunch of kids out in Colorado that died from it. That is some pretty scary stuff. So I'm happy to hear all is well :) Pretty funny how Care Bears are making a comeback. I remember there being a shortage of them back in the 80's. If you would held on to them from your childhood you'd be set.
This flu thing is out of control. I don't get it. What's so different nowadays that you would get the flu so easily?
funny it's called a 'virus' It's the same way that a virus on the internet morphs, gets smarter and adapts to it's environment to infect more computers. Only it does this to humans. Is pennecillan (sp) even used to treat the flu anymore? I would think it helps even less as we treat more and more symptoms with it..
the virii keep getting worse. thats for sure!
Expect more of the same in 2004. The war against Virii is never over.
In real life and on the internet. I was watching the news last night and there was a 6 month old baby that just died symptoms of the flu. It's hard to believe that the flu is bad enough to kill people, and very sad to hear. Keep healthy everyone, and stay diligent in your fight against viruses..
Remember to take your Multi-Vitamins.. It's 55 degrees here today, so winter is getting shorter and shorter all of the time!
Yeah, first week of January already and Summer is just around corner!
enjoy the weather while it lasts. this summer i am going to make a vow to get off my computer and go outdoors more. i didn't do much outdoors this summer and i regret it now. i am stir crazy! :P
It's never a bad idea to get outdoors whenever you can. If you get a nice day in the winter months, go for a walk or something. The fresh air always uplifts me and puts me in a better mood.
When I was a kid I didn't mind the Winter at all. Not even the bitter ones. Must be a matter of perspective. I have to admit, this winter hasn't even been a problem. I predict a short one and a nice long summer.
Last year for Christmas we got 30+ inches of snow... this year.. we've had a total since the beginning of winter of around 15.... ... I agree.. doesn't look like this year will be much of a winter.. but of course.. last time I said that I had a snow storm of 40+ inches in April... :lol:
you never know if the snow is coming back. it can. at any second.
hey edwin.. did you finally post a photo of yourself?
To dream the impossible dream Feathers :lol: I think Beetlejuice is one of a kind... but you never know....
its my moms favorite picture of me? you like? :P
Great picture! And this looks like a great thread for a rank increase! :P
:!: That is an excellent picture of you Edwin :-D
it's my class picture actually. valedictorian, believe it or not! :P
Looks like BigRob got a rank increase and Edwin shows his face.. This thread gets longer all the time!
Were you Class President?
Brigid, you are very close to a rank increase!
Congrats Big Rob... and Brigid you're almost there! :lol: Edwin... I'd buy you being valedictorian... because you are very smart... But I didn't realize you were famous too... :wink: what is Howard Stern really like?? :P :P :P
uh. ah. i am at a loss for words! :P
Edwin.. you look a lot like Dennis Rodman.. ..err sort of..
Brigid! Congrats on your rank increase!
WTG Brigid. :) You're working your way up!
I hope your not serious.
wow brigid! you got a puny rank increase! i am so happy for you!
Congrats to Feathers, also.. SuperHeavyHitter is pretty intense! Nice Job :)
..heavyweight! whew-wooooo! Time for a party on a Friday night for that accomplishment!
Ahh. Rank increases. My favorite!
rank increases are my favorite too!
I look so small in mine own eyes.... *bows*
i know how you feel ricky! well not really, but you get the idea :)
Well.. Hopefully this time I wont be going away anymore... Remember that infection the ER said I had? ... Well I just got out of the hospital last night.. I've been there since Thursday... I called my doctor to get a less expensive antibiotic because the one the hospital gave me was around $20/pill... they told me they wanted to see me...on Thursday and immediately sent me right to a surgeon who then rushed me into emergency surgery that evening... I apparently had a Ventricular <sp?> hernia ... which is one of the worse ones you can have... The surgeon was FURIOUS noone caught it in the 2 ER trips... I'm ok now.. 2 new scars and very sore... ordered to bed for a couple days (thank goodness for laptops!) but I'm ok now... hopefully no more ER trips anytime soon... *sigh*
Hope you feel better! I haven't been to a hospital for any major illnesses or anything since I was a wee baby. I had a seizure or something, but guess I was never the same since then! ;)
Glad you're feeling better, FP! Look on the bright side, you got that out of your system to start the year. The rest of the year should be smooth sailing.
Heyer, what are you talking about. There are no browsers other then Internet Explorer.
[quote:bdfc8f7a3c="fpworld"]I apparently had a Ventricular <sp?> hernia ... which is one of the worse ones you can have...[/quote:bdfc8f7a3c] Sorry to hear about everything you've been going through. Any idea what causes one of those hernias? raven
wow fp! glad to hear they finally figured it out! at least you are on the road to recovery. get well soon!
Thanks everyone.. yes, i'm glad we finally figured it out as well... No, they don't know what caused it.. other then I'm a mommy and it was probably carrying my daughter and life in general .... Ahhh well... The new year is definantely been interesting so far! Whats next? hehe
Well the main thing is it all worked out and you should be feeling a lot better soon!
Glad you are back and OK!
Thanks all!
Well page 58 and 59 were about FP! I wonder what page 60 will be about? :P
Who all would prefer Bush over Dean ??!!! ::RAISES HAND:: Even if i wasn't republican (which I am mind you) .. every democrat I know is voting for Bush over Dean....
Of course Bush. Bush is the greatest President I remeber, even greater than Bush the Elder or Reagan. Thank God Al Gore is not running things ;)
::Raises hand:: I am of the overall conservative persuation. I love politics! Dean is crazy it looks like to me (please forgive me if you disagree)! I like most of what Bush is done but some of his stuff really makes me tick. But hey, I am not too picky. I mean not even a president can be perfect. Hey, he probably knows more than I do. BTW Tom, how dare you put low the great Lord Reagan? :) Who watches/listens to the great Sean Hannity (and maybe even his cohost the still - despite his left wing position - very cool allen colmes)?
..coming in late.. FPworld, glad to hear you are doing better take it easy and get yourself better.. as for politics, Republican here..
What are the ranks in this forum? How high do you have to go?
The software is pretty configurable. I think we could stop adding ranks around 1,000,000,000 posts or so.
Looks like we've got a ways to go RickyJo!
well keep thinking of those ranks because i am on my way!
O.O wow, that's cool! *nod nod* I'll probably be long gone before i get that far, I'll let my kids/grandkids take over...
that's definitely something the whole family can get involved in. your kids and grand kids will really appreciate it.
*nod* NOTE: this is not here to pad my post count o.O
How much do you think the internet is going to change between now and then. Think HTML will still be the standard? Or will we have somthing like: super complex no-longer mark up language. That's what I love about HTML, it's so easy i get into the webmaster stuff at age uh *ponders* 11 i think.
I prefer Opera. It is really good. Fast, plenty of features and good looking. What else do you need?
Methinks HTML still needs to be standardized (xhtml is getting there) before it can advance any further. If you keep adding to an unstandard system then everything ets further and further from repairable. HTML will maintain its popularity, but it will need to fall into standards for everyone. Sloppy HTML should just not be displayed properly, instead of Microshaft letting it slide in their browser. (and others of course). I think PHP will be the next major thing as well. It's compatibility with HTML is great, (if you can call it compatibility). Maybe interwoven aspects instead? Anyhoo, everything will work together in peaceful harmony, and work on all browsers.
Stricter enforcement of rules is interesting. But with the number of non-compliant websites out there, it would be a nightmare. People would be sure it was the browser that was broken.
strickter rule enforcement would help what exactly? My website would probably cause the user's computer to blow up... Besides, some people dont have the time or money (if they hired somebody) to continually fix their website. You want to know it will work for a while if you leave it allone. Isn't that why HTML is special? Because it is easy and flexable? *noble voice of reason* Is that not why the internet has become so awesome? why even the computer illiterate can make a website! *getting excited* strict enforcement of rules would kill it... The internet would come to ruin.... maybe.
0.0025 % of people prefer Konquerer.
must...double post....cannot reist....must have....rank...up.....*gasp*
It is only flexible because of its faults. Tags not being closed appear right but are wrong and it jsut is...I've typed to much else where and am tired...discuss later...good job on 100.
Haven't been here for a while. Now thats one humongous discussion! What haven't you guys discussed yet? :lol:
ummmmmmm... pretty much nothing that I can think of...
What was the question again?
lol I had to go back and look, why can't you? raven
hehheheh me too *shh its a secret*
Oh yeah! The question was about rank increases. Congrats on yours Raven :)
Thanks, Tom :) raven
Opera is OK, except my computer and it don't get allong very well.... I do use it to download stuff now that my IE is messed up and netscape won't even run. My computer is so old, and has a lode of stuff on it...
I use Mozilla in Linux and Opera in Windoze. All's good. All's good.
I always hated NetScape. Never even liked Mozilla. Years ago I read a report that said people almost always ended up using the program they learned first. That's why technology companies are always so interested in getting products out there first. However, if you're Microsoft, you can always release a product second, and just crush the competition.
^ You got it! That is the reason that macintosh computers cannot catch on. I really like the windows operating system...but i realise that the reason i like it is because i learned about it first. Macs are actually better and i know it. Too bad no software works on them. Who here has tried B_heyer's signiture changer. It's really cool! I'm lovin' it.
thank god i'm more open minded than that! i have tried many different programs in life and switched.
I really like linux but there just too few applications for it in order for me to do what I do. :cry: Andrey
I learned using "Integrator" back in the dos days. It was a rather nice menu based gui. I Moved on to bigger and better things, windows 3.1, then 95, and had been at 98 until I hated it so much that I switched to Linux. I love Linux, it is so much better then Windoze 98, and I think a lot of the lack of apps is compensated for not having to reboot twice a day, etc. I am getting used to GIMP to replace photoshop, and I am sure I'll be sticking around for quite some time. RickyJo: Thanks :)
The only Linux GUI I've tried is Classic X and it's just a bit clunky and foreign to me. Of course this what Microsoft wants. I'm used to using XP and don't really want to be bothered to learn much that's new.
KDE is a great windows manager. I have tried Windows Maker and it seemed far more foreign then KDE does.
Windows 3.1?! Heyer, you said you are 17. So how old were you when windows 3.1 came out?...6-7 yrs old :?:
I bought my first copy of Windows 3.1 in 1990. It was available until at least 1994. Heyer may have been between 4 - 8 years old.
Lets see.. I used Integrator till probably 5 or six, then we bought a 486, which was whopping fast compared to the 286 and I'd imagine that one had 3.1 on it. So about five or six. I actually just dismantled the old AT tower a few months ago. That thing was a steel beast.
Are your parents into computers, or just you?
They know computers, but they introduced me to them when my brain was a sponge. So now I know a lot more then them. My dad is still prety knowledgable but mostly on the hardware side of things, his eyes have been blinded by microshaft.
the best time to learn computers is when you're young. as heyer said, you are a spone and take it all in. its tough teaching older folks and some people are even technology resistant.
Believe it or not: I still have a DOS machine that runs! A 286 :)
4 years ago I still had 486 with 8MB of ram and windows 95 :lol: 3 years ago I used AMD K-6 233MHZ with 32MB of ram and windows 98. Now I'm still using 1GHz with 512MB of ram and windows xp pro. It's time to move to a better machine but I get too attached to my computer :P and hate to let go and transfer all those files... :lol:
Oh heaven, I am using a windows ME computer. Maybe I can convince my dad to set up the windows 3.1! IT WOULD WORK BETTER! *runs off screaming* I hate windows ME!.........
Yep, tried all of them including Linux, Lindows and BeOS and Windows ME is the worst out there. If it runs slow, it might be a good idea to install win 98, its more stable and much faster.
98 is getting pretty rank these days. at least grab a bootleg windows xp off someone and run that. but you should also dual boot into linux.
Edwin, he said that his computer runs slow on ME, do you really think XP will solve the problem? That's why I said 98 cause its faster and has lower requirements. There is another possibility: You have too much crap on your pc and you need to delete all of it and install new windows, should work much better. P.S. We are becoming soft (I mean sort, oh my god, they gonna sue...) of technical forum here, don't you think?
Many people say Linux is the one for stability, scalability, resistance and durability. I'd prefer Mandrake, Debian, or RedHat. Although , i'm running XP too over here, will think of upgrading later on my other computer. But the problem still remains with linux - compability. How many programs work with linux? I think the amount is less than 5000, how many programs run with Windows? 100,000?
Windows ME is abismal, and we own Windows 98 so, maybe we should just install that. I dunno, we do have a lot of cr*p, but we have wiped it many MANY times...so that can't be it.
ME was bad. I'll agree to that.
ME was the worst! I agree to that.
me too
The only major difference between ME and 98 is the "new interface". It was a new windows at some point and everybody including me rushed to try it. Turned out to be crap, so most of people I know switched either to 98 or 2000. I personally like 2000 much better cause its based on NT platform which is fast and stable. From what I understood, in your case your pc is slow so you need 98 because 2000 takes even more system resources then ME.
truth is, windows has always been slow and will always be slow. but it doesn't matter anymore because cheap machines are just so fast!
Windows ME is the quirkiest by far. They don't seem to recover well from crashes..

And how many are free for windows, probably about the same. Every program you NEED in windows can be found in an equal in Linux. Office - OpenOffice Photoshop - Gimp etc. etc. etc.
i don't care about programs. i care about applications and linux has that! oh boy does the boy called linux have that. free mysql. free apache. free php. you can build anything you want. and bill gates doesn't see a penny.
I still don't think it is worth switching from XP to Linux... BTW, what linux are you guys using, and what applications? Maybe you info will change my mind :wink:
Edwin...by programs I meant applications. Same deal. DesignVelocity - I am using Slackware, and just about any app I can find that is useful to me.
Is b-heyer's avatar working for everyone else? I used to see it, but now I'm just seeing a red x. Is it me or...? raven
I guess you're a little too late, raven - b_heyers was requested to change it by all other members at web-mastery, as per the "annoyingness" :lol:
I thought it was awesome!
Oh! I must have missed that. Thanks, sootle, now I don't need to fiddle with my browser :) raven
Yesss! That avatar is gone for good :wink:
bring back b_heyers sig!
Hahah I was never contacted...Methinks its a conspiracy, unless it was in one of the DIR's in my old webhost, but I thought they were uploaded to this server...The game must go on *goes off to his profile*
That just IRKs ME! Ya'll gone up and removed uploadable avatars! Booo :x :| I find my new one to be appropriate now. :lol:
But then again OTHER people have avatars. *cries* You could have just let me know if you hate me :(
Don't cry b_heyer, it'll be okay.... raven
I found that avartar annoying too - infact, I even covered the avartar part of the screen everytime I viewed your posts :lol: (just-kidding)
I feel your pain b_heyer. I say we write a petition to Tom. I liked your avatar. You all stuck your tongue out and everything :-D (newsflash: rickyjo makes obviouse statement of the day)
For petition to be valid you need a lot of signatures. Where are you gonna get those :?: :lol: Petition of two :?: :!:
I didn't even see it.. was too busy the last few days.. *shrug* But Tom would only have removed it for a good reason I'm sure...
Bring it back! bring it back! more B_heyer sigs! :P
the b_heyer sig file was one of the major draws of this thread! that plus my posting. :P
Of course mainly your posting, Edwin :twisted: raven
*nod* *nod* Yeah, i mean, nothing beets edwin's posts right?
Just to set the record straight: I didn't edit or remove anyone's avatar. Might be a bug like the "blank.gif" bug in PhpNuke that periodically removes the default image.
so how do I go about reuploading my avatar? I don't see any option in the profile editor.
nvm got it bak :-)
Well that's good news for everyone. Well, not everyone, but you get the point :)
:lol: sooo funny! :-P ;)
*cheer*
b_heyer, how'd ya do it? I can't see any option to have your own avatar. Care to share? :)
You have the option of uploading one. I did anyway. It just has to be so small (ie. low quality eg. edwin's), that I couldn't get one to work *sigh*.
where is the uploading option stored at?
sootle, look in your profile under Avatar control panel. There's an option there to upload. raven
hm.. hunted every where for it but can't seem to find it :oops: can you please point me to the URL? Thanks
Heyer, I see you got your avatar back :x ...congratu... :x
ye, congratu..... :x
It is right under the google ad at the top of the page "profile"
All my image files are too big! I gotta shrink them like a witch doctor.
[quote:7ff85aa366="RickyJo"]*nod* *nod* Yeah, i mean, nothing beets edwin's posts right?[/quote:7ff85aa366] boy you got that right! man you are a genius! :P

Click on Profile and scroll down until you see the upload option for avatars. raven
yep, found it, thanks guys :D
hmmm. a contender. i guess for my title? :)
Well now I see a big red X where sootle's avatar should be. Do we have an avatar eating monster onboard or something? raven
something is killing our avatars! our is it someone?
Yep, there is some kind of bug on the forum, I lost my avatar twice yesterday. I found a solution for the problem though. I uploaded my avatar on my server and then just linked to it without uploading it on web-mastery server. Seems to work...so far.
I have posted about that Bug before on NukeCops but haven't seen an answer. If I can patch it, I will.
Oh, so I can put my detective hat and magnifying glass away? raven
I definitely would if I were you :)
this thread has pr 4 in places :)
Looks as if FPWorld is going to be getting behind here pretty soon.. Edwin is gonna take the lead.. :oops: :oops: :oops:
yep! edwin is the number one poster! :P
Yes, he temporarily took over my title.. but I shall get it back :D .. Its a short lived victory I assure you.... I just literally have had no time between work, recovery and kid...
this is exciting to watch *thrill music plays* by the end of the week who do you think will have the lead?
I love sootle's avatar! Good job.
i'm number one! i'm number one!
I've got a lot of catching up to do! :P
Enjoy it while it lasts Dearest Edwin.. I was 40+ ahead of you for a LONG time.. I shall do it again!!!
this is deja vue all over again! :P
I'm the 1001st post.. Glad to see you back at it FPWorld :)
;-) Thanks Brigid.. Good to be back at it...
we're all glad you're back. :)
not all of us are glad! :P j/k
I looked at some of your templates FPworld. They are very nice. Very good ideas, and loads cheaper than to get your page custom designed. I also finally realised why it's called FPworld...I'm so slow. :lol: I never really thought about buying templates as a viable way to get a good website. It seems like it could be a good way to go...maybe even for my church. *ponders*.
i agree! wooo hoooo!
Thanks guys! :) I'm glad you like them Ricky... A lot of people have a bad tummy over templates.. because half the "designers" out there use boxed art (templates that are sold to numerous people cheap and sold over and over again).... We pride ourselves on NEVER using those.. a lot of my repeat clients are
