Hey guys,

I make me reappereance now (just 1 hour). I am at a summer camp right now without a computer. So i haven't had much time to visit the boards. Do i ever miss them. I would like it is someone could e-mail me stuff that i miss (hey a new feature idea). Like new members to the NLC. And other major events like that. People getting banned. etc... and also fwp's that have died. Thank you.


Epgs

Boy do i ever miss you'll.

Poor Epgs. If you are at a summer camp w/o a computer how did you post this?

Is that what's taking up all this bandwidth? I'll have to charge you directly for that Epgs. :D

please, someone email him a life to live. if i'm away from home for a substantial amount of time, would you like know the first thing that doesn't pop into my head?


what keith would most definitely not do, were he away from home for a long while
hey, everyone at freewebspace.net, email me stuff. like what's going on at these forums? who's in what club? and exactly where and when did they do it and or post it? email me every god darned thing you can about freewebspace.net's forums because i can't live without them!!!



what keith would more likely than not do, were he away from home for a long while
hey mom. how's the family. everything's fine? great, i really miss my normal life. yeah, i'll talk to tony... hey, what's going on? yeah. cool... blah, blah, blah... well, ok, gotta go. i'd like to get home as soon as possible to see the people i know and care for. talk to you later.


sorry if this seems a little up front, his requests just seemed a bit unhealthy... i mean, to people he hasn't and probaby never will meet, anyone agree?

i mean, it's a freaking free webspace forum. don't get me wrong, but i find it kind of disturbing when someone mentions "new members to the 'nlc'", "people getting banned", or "fwp's that have died" as major events. yikes. someone has life's priorities all out of whack.

The concept of what a "life" is, is rather subjective.

Maybe he already has a life; with just somewhat different interests to yours?

The events that happens at these boards must be the most exciting things that has ever happened to him... *lol* I do believe he has grown fond of this forum.

And I don't get this: How's he gonna read emails (if anybody sends him any) if he doesn't have access to a computer?

Oh, right... I forgot that his brain's hardwired to the backbone. :p

If you take a look around you would be amazed at the cult like following this board has. A lot of the posts are just general chit chat. I do hope everyone here gets out every now and then but if you don't just buy a palm pilot or laptop and then you can work outside so you are at least out. :D

There is nothing wrong with being addicted to this forum.

Oops! I forgot to click on the banner today...

And every other day. I guess I'll make up for it.

With that said, subliminal advertising works! :) Don't just click for the sake of increasing visitor count numbers click if your interested in what the sponsor is offering. In other words pay for the product/service if you would truly use it and like it. I don't handle advertising for FreeWebspace.net but if you enjoy the forum you should support it by support the sponsors.

I bet I could slowly manipulate every thread on the forum to get on this topic. :D

How do you know that he didn't do both of those?

Meeting people face to face isn't all that essential. Sure, it's nice, but people still exist just the same even if you're meeting their words instead of meeting them face to face. Either way (in person or not in person), it's still meeting the person's words, and the ideas behind the words that make the person, that matters the most. If you don't understand that, well, it's your loss.

For the record, I'm much more addicted to other message boards than this one. I know, I know, that's not a good sign for my mental health, but I don't care. ;)

Evidently some people pilfer life away in silly ways.

Thats Ok. live the life you want to live.

ok well i got to use a computer for 20 minutes today and yesterday. These are the only 2 days they let us go to the computer labs, and the whole post was kinda meant as a joke.

I don't think some people took it as a joke...

A joke? :confused:

Uh, okay~~~~~~~~~~~~~................

Gayowulf

It turned into a joke when he saw the general reaction ;)

Well, I'm going to go to a camp on June 30. I'm gonna miss you guys, remember to email me all the new NLC members and free hosts that die. Anything that's important to the forums should be emailed to me. I'm gonna miss you guys *sniff*

Anyway, I'm really going to be gone on June 30.

Epgs

I was just cruising through the board, and I noticed that..

everybody (except me) who posted to this thread has over 200 posts... hehe

I always like breaking up stuff like dat...

oh, Todd.. I would click on the ads, but I don't see any besides that silly "Commonname" thing hidden in the footer.. :D well, I suppose that the search command also gets ya something...

Bruce

whatevah

I was just giving you guys a hard time. Supporting the sponsors is great but I was just making the most out of a thread that didn't look to be headed in the best direction. :)

Peo has actually kept the forum rather ad free which is surprising considering the number of ad views it would generate. I know the advertising market is rather low right now but that's still quite impressive!

Say better that it was a joke to say that all that was a joke :D

The great efficiency will be achieved if separate posts of a thread be directed the best way (will the option be in a new vB version?) :( :)
