Hi I am going to be joining this board to talk to you all because I need some friends online, well i have lots of friends in real life but on the internet im kinda lacking. if anyone wants to get a little personal then you can always drop me a pm. I’m making a blog called “you asked, I answered” my name in real life is reece and i am 16 yrs old. I like dance music, which is what I just been watching because I got reminded of some experiences last night. Peace out guys 🆒

You violated a number of board rules with your first post. Also, General Questions is for questions with factual answers.

I don’t see how. There’s not a single question mark in the whole teensy tiny wall of text, nor is there any evident place where one should have been but for the (hypothetical) negligent punctuation skills of the OP.

Seems friendly enough, but I suspect has a lot to learn about this place’s board culture. :dubious:

I hope the regulars will be kind.

Most of those words are English, but I swear they say absolutely nothing when strung together in that order. 😕

“PM’d” is “private messaged”. It’s a feature of vBulletin, and the method of response requested by the originator of this thread. I’m not sure how you can be unclear on the rest of it.

I’m still unclear on the assertion that you married OP. (Frankly, the only part of your post I could make sense of was the part that wasn’t English. The bit about PM’ing.)

It was? Do you have a citation to support that assertion? 😕

Well, assuming it was a joke, I’m not sure a 16-year old boy would make an appropriate wife anywhere. Or a legal one, more importantly. So, not the kind of thing sane people joke about.
