Hardly. The kid says he’s 18. The lyrics are more than twice his age. Unless his parents raised him properly and he obliged them, he would have no idea what you’re talking about.
Boy, for a second there I thought I was an admin.
Seriously though, listen to Beaucarnea. You have all the advice you need in this thread to become an appreciated member of this internet haven. Filter out the snark in this thread, learn from the advice (mainly to read the stickied rules posts closer), and then go your merry way.
Thanks a lot. I think I bought the 45 for that song. Now I feel old. 
His posts just give me perspective on exactly how clueless I used to be.
I certainly hope I’ve gotten better.
I thought I gave him good advice. shrug Another wise man once said “You can’t always get what you want, but you find sometimes, you get what you need.” Now, those lyrics predate ME, so probably not much chance of the OP hearing them, but still.
Take a breather kid. You are dealing with way, way too much and way, way more than you should. (Another song comes to mind…“Listen to what the man said…”)
*I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for girls, I had a bad yen
And I had quite a ball
When I was young
When I was young, it was more important
Pain more painful
Laughter much louder
Yeah, when I was young
When I was young*
Quit yer whining, ya punk ya!
107 posts when I read this thread, and you’ve allegedly started 17 threads?
First, you could have taken the 30 day thing, assuming they still have that, and saved yourself the money.
Second, that’s too damned many threads in a very short time. Read more, respond to other people more, start fewer threads. As someone else pointed out, this isn’t your blog.
Third, given the number of people on this board and the general nature of it, you’re bound to get negative responses from time to time. Hell, it’s a general rule of thumb that at least 2% of the population can be found to agree with the most wacked out shit, or violently disagree with absolute common sense. Therefore, don’t be surprised or offended when someone here does likewise.
Fourth, whining, insulting and then asking for tolerance usually doesn’t work. No one here needs you so much that they need to accept your shit and then turn around and beg you to remain. Maybe that works with people in your life because they need you, but it doesn’t work with strangers. (And it only works with friends and family for so long before they finally say “You know, fuck it. I don’t need to put up with unbrok3npp’s behavior anymore.”)
Arg, TLDR.
I tried.
Fucking idiot.
Well, in a serious attempt to analyze and advise the OP, I’ll take a quick gander at his recent threads:
What is the best way to gain weight?? (2 questions) earned a fair amount of wisecracks along with some useful advice, but I’d guess that the thread was doomed with the OP’s post #22:
The only reasonable response to this is to advise her to seek out another doctor for a second opinion. Anything beyond that risks embroiling the board in legal trouble and I don’t fault a moderator for intervening.
**“cheating” at sex…paranoid ** also earned wisecracks, and some genuinely GQ-inappropriate insults. On the first page, the OP just made repeated requests for reassurance. I jumped ahead to the last page and it looks like some useful advice was being offered.
**windows vista vs. xp ** - looks civil enough, as do most of the other threads. Going all the way back to Wrinkle questions and the best eye cream?? and I have to side with samclem that these are effectively identical and it was correct to close one of them. I’m sure the decision to close that thread was a major influence in the closing of What is the best way to gain weight?? (2 questions), since the second of those questions was again about wrinkle treatments. The OP may not be aware, but the board has long-established precedent for discouraging a poster from creating multiple threads on a specific subject, to the point of using warnings and even bannings. The point being, I gather, to keep people obsessed with one narrow topic from compulsively starting thread after thread about it, crowding out other discussions.
Anyway, my overall advice is that is the OP wants to be treated like an adult and get serious answers to his questions, a BIG help would be taking the extra five minutes and checking his posts for spelling, capitalization and punctuation. He’s been given the same rough ride anyone using instant-messaging style gets around here. I see no indication that it’s personal.
For what it’s worth.
Thinking back, it must be a trip to be young and be able to get advice from a board on the net.
Good and bad I guess.
Back in the day, closest thing we had to a message board was tacking shit on the wall at the local Rexall.
I’ll see your troll, and raise you an asshat, with a side of douchebag.
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.
Hundreds of people have come and gone before you. Some of them were really great. Some of them were idiots. Some of them had no idea how to be a part of a community. This is as close as you can get to a community, even though we’re mainly strangers to one another. If you want to belong to it, all you need to do is watch and learn, and contribute.
On the other hand, you can be an attention whore and a whiner. Here’s another tiny bit of wisdom:
Start searching the universe right now. If you ever come up with another sentient being who gives a flying fuck about your opinion of this message board, you can both bite our shiny metal ass.
The minimum age for being a member of this message board is 13. However, this is not and never has been a place for kids of whatever age…we expect and require a certain level of maturity. That doesn’t mean that everyone has to be dead serious all the time, but it does mean that we expect our posters to behave like grownups. We expect posters to try to have a little consideration for others. Previewing one’s post before submitting it is one way to show consideration. Another way is to make ONE SINGLE thread on a topic, and not try to repeat that topic until a reasonable amount of time has passed.
Unbrokenpeepee, you should take Bryan’s post as the gold it is - he usually just points and laughs (in ways that usually make me laugh out loud). For some reason, he felt kindly enough to actually tell you something you can stand to hear. Heck, you’re getting a lot of good advice in this thread - from what I’ve read of you, better advice than you deserve. Maybe they’re hopeful that the only thing wrong with you is callow youth, and you’ll be cured of that soon enough. This message board is not like the Rest of the Internet - if it isn’t working out for you, please feel free to not re-up. Or you could do something wild and crazy and take some of the advice being given here.
No need, we can assure you.
I lurked for three years prior to paying the $15 to join. I know what I am getting into and it scares that crap outta me that I could be in your shoes. This community has a mostly established population that you do not want to piss off. I mostly learned what not to do by reading the ugly pit threads. And I am sure that I will still screw up, but at least I will be prepared for the shitstorm.
You seem to have fallen into the same trap as others that have been run off, left, or chastised in the recent past. That is, too much too soon. Listen to the advise of the veterans, go back and read some old pit threads from situations similar to yours and learn from both those to alter your ways.
Unifying everybody against you is actually pretty easy. The real challenge is to turn the membership against itself.
Thread suggestion: “So, what’s this I hear about gun control?” Six hours, tops, before it’s in full donnybrook. This particular board has its little cliques, but since they all hate each other, the entertainment never stops. If it ever reached a point where it wasn’t possible for someone to start a ten-page mudfight, then we really would have become a boring hive-mind, utterly and hopelessly ridiculous.
Not that I’ve ever done this myself. Honest. Nobody cares about the threads I start.
On my brother’s birth certificate I am listed as “other issue”
A good way to keep from being sworn at, and being insulted to an almost unlimited degree, is to STAY OUT OF THE FUCKING PIT!
Is this not clear to anyone?
Obviously not!
Chickenfucker!

Oooh, now you’ve done it! I sentence you to witness the evil you have summoned!
