So you are a different sort of tard than the ones you have found here?
As it happens, I don’t expect you to do anything at all. This is not my site. I happen to be a member and, as you posted your question in the middle of the night, I thought I’d provide an immediate answer rather than making you wait for some staff member to wander by, later. If you would prefer to churlishly, that is fine, but if you respond to polite responses with hostility, you are unlikely to get many more polite responses.
The money may or may not be adequate to fund a server (and since this board is strictly a side issue for the Chicago Reader, they have less interest in buying more powerful servers that you might guess). There has been a recent upgrade, but it has been too recent to re-evaluate the rules limiting expensive tack-ons.
One benefit of the fee has been to reduce the number of cranks and other nasty posters with little to contribute. Judging by your posts, so far, it would seem that that will continue to be successful effort. As to those who “gheyed up” your thread, that would be a form of banter or badinage that you are likely to encounter in many threads, here. If you are not up to handling that sort of humor, this may, indeed, not be the site for you.
That’s just the kind of reply I’d expect from an ass kissing n00b putting on a show for the regs & mods around here. I asked tomndebb legitimate questions, I didnt ask for a posthumping toadie to give me any lip
I can handle anyhting this board has to deal out, don’t worry. I’m a Hall of Fame poster. If the tards of this site want to ghey up my posts fine. I know they’re all just nicswitching bastards following me around anyway. Why not come out and show yourselves Evil Blood, Mini-Me, Cardtrick and all the rest of the Beaver haters I’ve bitchslapped and beaten! I know you’re here.
How can an upgrade be too recent to know what it can do? It sounds to me like yourre just trying to keep me down. Either a server can handle the traffic or it can’t! Better server, more functions allowed. Let me test the new server. Give me all the normal functions of a paying member including avs and sigs and I’ll test the board!
Mockingbird’s not a n00b, dumbass. That would be, uh, you. And to paraphrase what tomndebb said, if you don’t like the “ghey” (or proper spelling) maybe you should fuck off. I mean really, you come in here calling us a bunch of assholes and expect us to be polite? Yeah, right.
Oh, and to answer your question, Beav, if you can’t make your personality and opinions clear without some bandwidth-hogging gif of Barbara Billingsley dancing the tango naked except for her pearls and heels, you might just not belong here.
show me where I called anyone here an asshole! Link please! No I don’t expect you to be polite, I expect to be given the right to have my avatar and sig put up! And compared to my interenet post counts Mockingbird (or should I say Doomsday) is a n00b!
OK, so you didn’t use the exact word “asshole”, but you did use “tards”, “nicswitching bastards”, “ass kissing n00b”, and “posthumping toadie”. And since when do you have a “right” to have an avatar and sig? Can you point to some law that says this? Is it in the US Constitution somewhere that I overlooked?
If I pay membership dues to this site, I expect to get my moneys worth. That includes a server than can handle my posts and the right to bear avs & sigs!
You’re from Texas and you posthump me with two words. You must be George Bush. Do you have simian features? Shoo little girl Daddys trying to talk with adults.
I dont have time to argue with the riff raff in here about issues they don’t have the depth or qualifications to talk about anyway. Put me through to the head honcho around here. I want somebody from the admin to give me some viable answers about my issues! I’m not just going to give this site free money to be dictated to about my board profile options! Who do you people think you’re dealing with here anyway? Get in the back seat and let me drive and I’ll bring sweeping changes to this dustbowl.
I request the board owner to address the true issue of this thread immediately and give me some answers that I can’t poke full of holes without opening my eyes.
What are you, twelve? Avatars are for gaming boards (maybe). Around here we prefer to establish our personna on the basis of our words of wit and wisdom.
To make your first post a demand for an avatar is the worst way to establish yourself here.
(Let me apologize in advance to any 12-year-old Dopers who post at levels far beyond their years – I was speaking in terms of average 12-year olds.)
What the fuck are avatars about anyway? Oh look at my sci-fi shit, the band I like this week, pic of me being all deep and meaningful or cute pussy shot (yes both kinds of pussy). How on Earth do they add to anything?
Same goes for smilies. As a smilie over-user I thank the dope daily that it doesn’t have all those animated crappy smilies.
Beaver I’m sure your avatar was very groovy…now move on. Post without it or fuck off. Grown ups can cope with change.
