CHARTER MEMBERS, HOLLA! Guests. Gah. I can’t even say it without choking on it. What was it Ben Franklin said? Oh yeah, “fish and guests start to stink after three days.” Who are these losers showing up at OUR bulletin board with their penniless asses and their inability to search? Who goes to a bulletin board where they don’t even have search capabilities. Who knows? After all, they have no biographical information. I can’t tell where they’re from, or when they joined. I can’t even tell how many posts they’ve made. I typically assume less then 10, so I immediately discount everything they say. The number one fact is that they’re poor. And if they’re poor, they must be stupid. I mean, you don’t need to be too bright to have a good enough job to be able to scratch together 5 bones. They’d probably start their own bulletin board, but they’re too stupid to know how. You got a computer but you don’t got 5 bucks??? I think a “nag screen” is too good for 'em. I’d like to see a little hand pop out of the monitor every time they log on that pimp-slaps 'em. They shouldn’t even call it “logging on” – they should call it “hogging on” because they ain’t doin’ nothing except hogging up the server that us CHARTER MEMBERS (HOLLA!!) deserve. So while the SDMB staff has been kind enough to let you all stick around for another month or so, I say take your goldbricking asses back to the curb NOW with your **Will Work for Posting Privileges** sign and get the hell off my message board. ---

Hey, I just want to see what it looks like to be posting as a guest. I will sign up and pay the 4 Euros once the money from my bank account has transfered to my PayPal account. (3 to 4 days accroding to PayPal). Oh, and I assume your location means you’re form “Balmer”. Just more proof that eating too many crabcakes messes with your brains. 😃 No offence meant to other Baltimore dopers. I actually think Baltimore is a really nice city, and “GO O’s!” ---

So the question is will his CHARTER MEMBER ass be suspended for a week like a few other posters who did the same thing. Or will the payment calm some of the more impulsive actions of some of the staff? Unless this for some strange reason this is a real thread. Then WTF?? ---

Some people just don’t want to pay $5 for whatever reason. STFU about it already. ---

Gotta watch them “guests”. They get into your liquer cabnet, drink all your booze, bang your wife, borrow you car and run over your dog, then get caught sniffing your daughter’s pantys. I can see why you don’t like us! 😃 * * * The sig will not be denied! ---

I tried [http://banana.microwave.sunshine.happy.sausage.org/](http://banana.microwave.sunshine.happy.sausage.org/) and it didn’t work. After “will.” type in whatever you are willing to do for food, with a period in between words, and leave “.forfood.org” intact. For example, the will.sing.to.lobsters.forfood sentiment would turn out like [this.](http://will.sing.to.lobsters.forfood.org/) (note the URL.) ---

Hey, **Trunk** , ‘Welcome’ to the SDMB, and fuck you! We’re all guests here, you just happen to have paid earlier than some others. We have until April somethingorother, and beyond that, there will be more guests from time to time, so get the fuck used to it. While you’re getting used to it, shut the fuck up. Your $4.95 don’t mean shit. So, fuck you, Mister Charter Guest. ---

Well, it’s either a joke thread which is going to have an unpleasant ending, or an incredibly insensitive and boorish thread, which is going to have a differently unpleasant ending. Let’s see what’s behind Door Number 3. ---
