Uh, PhiloVance, y’all do realize that both of them there posters are ‘Cha-ta Mem-bas’, don’ch’all?
:rolleyes:
I realize this is probably in jest, and if it is, I do hope you’re suspended for a week like everyone else who has pulled this crap (most of which, incidentally, was more humorous than this).
However, I’d like to state that I am taking my free 30 days and then paying. I get a month to post free, before I pay. Your membership will expire 30 days before mine, and you won’t get the free month back on that end.
Would it be a problem if I start selling senses of humor for a nominal fee?
What are you people ON?
The fact is that every “charter” member with one single functioning braincell actually hopes that there will be a constant flow of new “guests” to visit this message board, and that a certain amount of them shall find it interesting enough to stay (= pay and become a member, “charter” or not).
Because you see, clever OP, without “guests” visiting this website, all you get at the end is a little club of “charter” members who constantly beat the same dead horses while everybody can predict the answers of the other “charter” members.
As for your silly-in-their-utterly-arrogant-rudiness remarks about those members who don’t want to pay right now and those who for some reason can’t pay right now: I don’t think that is anybodies business then there own.

Whoosh.
A, I’m guessing that sarcasm and tongue-in-cheek doesn’t translate well for people who’s english is a second language. He wasn’t trying to be rude or even being inadvertently rude - he was just trying to be funny.
Well… “we” obviously think that if the OP meant this to be taken as some “joke” it would be placed at the MPSIM board.

Munch,
Mmmm… Sorry, but in my experience nobody who makes threads on this particular board ever tries to be “funny”.
Salaam. A
:o.
/me wonders how he can revoke his charter member status.
Well then he needs a new sense of humor because his shit is shot. People should spare us and the hamsters their lame attempts at “humor”.
A, I didn’t think it was possible, but you make less and less sense every day. Are you mixing up “board” and “forum” again, or do you think no one has ever posted an attempt at humor at the SDMB?
Can I work for posting privileges? I can type 62 wpm, data entry at 11 000 kph (numeric and alpha-numeric). It would take me about 15 minutes to do enough work for a month’s subscription, I figure. Admins?
(Oh yeah, the OP is lame and if he’s trying to be funny, he’s in the wrong forum.)

Then how come HE/SHE got it? Just smarter than the average “guest”?
I’ll have the replacement card in a week, and should be able to subscribe then. Thanks for the offer, though.
Oh, I’m so sorry… It must be the backwards Arab side of me that makes me look at the words “board” and " forum" as meaning the same to me.
Shall I write it in an other language to make things clear to you?

For fuck’s sake, Aldebaran, I was being helpful.
The Straight Dope Message Board (SDMB) has many forums.
BBQ Pit = forum
MPSIMS=forum
Great Debates=forum
General Questions=forum
SDMB=NOT A FORUM, its a BOARD
A forum is a subset of a board.

This is kinda fun!
Why has no one told this knuckle dragger that hola is spelled with one “L”?
It ain’t part of the joke, I’d guarantee it.
It looks good so far:

Aldebaran’s Corollary to Godwins’s Law: in any thread to which Aldebaran posts, the probability that he will eventually refer to one or more posters as “arrogant” approaches 1.
