A Nice Thread - show your buddies some love.

I am with ya pimpster, I do the fifty-six K thing from time to time and as weird as it is to say, it is the next best thing to DSL!

 

Maybe for viewing internet pages you find it ok, but for downloading, i know for sure i cant get speeds of 75k downloading from a 56k modem!!! I can with my DSL.

 

Thank you Ken0042 for your suport. Everyone should know I can't spell.
Also thank Oriphus and Dela for their help. Good guys out there.
And the side topic 56k is faster then my current 28.8 but it is my only connection method today. The hospital was down with the blackout problems. They actually expected to hold all the computer needs with one server. We normally have six and they are normall always at maxed. Silly RIS people.

 

Hmmm funny how this forum has changed topics but since we are on the modem/internet topic I will just break it down really quick.

Rank in order from worst to best:

56k-->DSL-->Cable

I used to think DSL and cable were neck and neck but Cable rocks all the way around not just half way like DSL and dialup.I will never go with anything else unless of course T1 connection or something of that sort thing becomes available, for a price I can afford!

Okay now back to forum topic, I just want to say Dela rocks and is doing an awesome job as a moderator.

Hats off tooya mate. I hope your fellow blokes arn't gettin to yus and you are bloody well happy these days!

 

The 2-10MB Teledesic system available in 2005 with virtually no latency will be the way of the future i guess!

 

Yep it is like my male to female ratio thread I started.

Okay so maybe that was a lame thread, whatever. The point is I started it and thought well, people will just come in and say hey I am male or I am a female or am still trying to find out. Maybe add a few side comments about being that gender and then off you go. People want to know if Oriphus is a girl or not can know by going to the male femal ratio. Kinda of a reference tool like most of the threads on this forum should be.

Whatever, but what happens is new topics come out like DVD topics about burning, topics about new software to use for burning and then people start arguing over which software is better and all this who shot John stuff.

That's literally why I post like one time on a thread, maybe up to three times, but after that the thread usually is gone to a new topic, and I don't have time to keep checking my email on software problems when the thread turns from a software topic to people arguing over what color the smurfs were.

So as soon as it goes that direction I hit the little remove email reminder from thread option and move the hell to a fresh untainted unadulterated thread. And let me tell you that is always a refreshing site.

I think I could even deal with people saying whatever off the topic comment but closing with something that is back on the topic in their replies.

That way when someone goes to the how old you are topic or female/male ratio topic or any other topic, they don't have to feel weird about saying I am sally and I am twenty two after a bunch of posts that are talking about how great the Simpsons are.

I know Dela hates the double post thing and that is annoying but what annoys me most is this off the topic rambling on just so I can get more posts in to make myself a senior member and then a moderator and then king of afterdawn. Give me a break like any of that even matters.

What matters is we are here to post in reply to the thread topic so when people come to the thread they are like kewl and get the help they need without having to surf through everones personal problems and issues they have.

People please their are therpist for things like that. And if you have to talk about how many times you should change your underwear a day, argue about it in PM.

You should see Dela and I's PM. We worked the shit out over other topics and probably have the record for PM length.

In Summary, if you don't have anything on the topic, don't post it! Your friends will love you for it and so will I.

Yeah I know I should have started a thread on this, but tomorrow I would wake up and see people writing on the post about JFK's affair with Marilyn Monroe and I figured since this post already screwed up with off the topic mess, screw it just make my point here.

With that being said let me just close by saying, I miss my buddy Praetor, he is such a kewl guy. I have lost that other guy with the letter "P" at the beginning of his name. Kinda like the letter "D" in Dela and Darth. Now I go on and see my partner in crime is no longer there... No more little Praetor and no more little eeeeeeekkkkk no more littl WB Phantom...

Praetor my little buddy, Pal, friend, I miss you man... I will be joining you soon in the ranks of insane schedules!!

Until then kick ass and hold your head high and make sure everyone knows who you are. In the great words of Al Paccino "You come with me, we all profit. You challenge me, we all fail. There was one NAPOLEAN! ONE WASHINGTON! ONE ME!"

That's you pimpasaures!

 

If this was directed at me, the thread isnt on any sort of topic!!!! It went from its original topic, to med-school, to running for office, to problems with DSL, to me stating that a new internet system will be available, etc.....

 

Go Go dumplings!!! And I can say something nice and honest about the RIAA. We will crush and trash them! THEY WILL BE DESTROYED!!! And, thank you everyone, for creating this atmosphere that no-one else can create. It's the aD atmosphere. Dela + Orphius of course is the leader of the aD pack, but I want to thank EVERYONE! That's EVERYONE!!!

Thank you. And Rogers Cable is shit. Don't get it. Thank y'all.
