Been reading some topics here over the last few days and I’m impressed. After posting on other various message boards for many years now, it’s nice to find a place with more mature and worthwile discussions. Hello. I’m Chris. I joined on Thursday and look forward to adding my opinions and thoughts to this wonderul place. ---

Welcome, Chris. Very simple rules here, don’t be a jerk, keep the flaming to the Pit, don’t cut and paste an entire article. And be patient…the hampsters can get overloaded sometimes. ---

In case you missed it in the registration agreement, there’s a $250 cover charge. The, uh, online payment scheme is currently down, but I can give you a PO Box that works just as well. I swear. ---

I just experienced a couple times of the boards moving slow. I guess it’s a small price to pay for such a popular forum. Regestration fee? Ah… I got ya. Sent it to Ino Goodfellow Society of Ino for the advancement and succession of Ino. Right? Thank you for the kind welcomes. I’ll remember and respect any rules. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Idle Thoughts \* > **Ino** Goodfellow > Society of **Ino** for the advancement and succession of **Ino**. Considering that my username is lno and not Ino, you’d be sending the funds to the wrong guy. And we don’t want that, do we. Hey, it’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I’ve got Fatty the Bitch breathing down my neck, and if I don’t pay him, then he breaks my knees … so if the wrong guy gets the registration fee, then, well, capiche? ---
