[QUOTE=fishbicycle] Kid, and I call you kid because you are one, I’m going to give you a tiny bit of wisdom. When you pay your fifteen bucks, you pay to join the board. You do not pay to have the board join you. [/QUOTE] And you pay $15 primarily to become a Member. You pay $15 secondarily for the services such as posting. ---

In the unlikely case that our OP is trainable, keep starting those same threads and doing all the same things you are doing. Just do it in IMHO or MPSIMS. Most your questions, when in GQ, are seen as asking for medical advice. ---

Why the hell did you pay $15 straight up? Did you miss the part where you get 30 days free? It’s not like we were all nice in the beginning and suddenly turned into cunts the moment you paid your moneys. If you’d half a brain in your head, you would have lurked, then guest posted and then if you liked the place you should have paid your money. Even with the “emergency” of your supposed girlfriend’s possibly getting pregnant you still could have posted that as a guest. Why you ponied up $15 without researching the boards a bit better is beyond me. At this point, it just gets to where I’m wanting to drop a PALATR in your direction. Don’t let the door hit you, etcetera. ---

> [@](#): > > Beaucarnea, youre the coolest person on this board. Keep it up. I see a ray of hope for you. You are very perceptive! Welcome to the SDMB. Give **SamClem** a chance. He’s moody and so old that he has forgotten anything before the age of thirty. It’s worth the $15 a year just to have a place to rant! As a whole, though, this is a place to give attention, not to get it. Too often, when you _get_ attention here, you won’t like it. Learn not to take it too seriously though. ---

[QUOTE=unbrok3npp] First of all, Ive never seen another forum online that you have to pay for…but i figured the information I could get was worth the money. So I embarked on the biggest waste of $15 ever. [/QUOTE] The reason it is worth paying $15 is that it is somewhat semi-filtered from people filling it up with obvious questions that they could figure out by spending an hour with Google. This is not an “I need help please help me” kind of forum. This is not a “go search Google for me” kind of forum. Even so, those kinds of questions are tolerated, now and again. Initially I stood up for you, even. But it seems like you keep raising the same types of “help me” question over and over. Worse, you don’t seem to be trying to understand the answers you’re given, you keep making people spell them out letter by letter over some very long threads. If that’s the kind of board you were looking for, then I’m sorry, this isn’t the place. You might get the $15 worth by listening to what you’ve been told here, taking a step back to think about it, and improving your intellectual discipline in how you figure things out for yourself. ---

[QUOTE=unbrok3npp] So I embarked on the biggest waste of $15 ever. [/QUOTE] Personally, I think the biggest waste of $15 ever was when your dad bought those two bottles of Boone’s Farm Strawberry Wine eighteen or so years ago. If he’d only spent another buck on a couple of rubbers, we’d all have been spared your fucking stupidity. ---
