from the dictionary of newspeak vol4 2009 Eric was right all along.. we are dinosaurs and should die out soon. heres a fine example of a totally numb bastard.. morons like this should be taken out and horse whipped until they get some intelligence, or die, removing their terminal stupidity from the gene pool. http://forums.afterdawn.com/t.cfm/f...ay_windows_media_player_shuts_it_down-846724/
hi according to my grand'kids i've been a dino' and dead for years now. the only problem is they reckon that i won't lie down and cross my arms on my chest
Could be your ancestors were beaker people.. ever thought that could be the problem? now.. about grave goods..
More likely their wrists were ruined because they were no longer masters of their domain... "wrist guards to protect their arms from the sting of the bowstring"
Wow, some things really change.... and some things don't. Been part of AD since '04(lurked for a bit prior) and have seen lots of things. dRD is right though... this lull is just another calm before the next storm. Only technology will make the next storm roll in. For me personally, I went from active poster to lurker for several reasons. There was a bit of bickering amongst several social circles that were seriously ruining (for me at least) the atmosphere which at the time was fun and light. At the early stages of my membership the upper ranks were hand selected and when that ended, the literal spamming of the forums began with everyone in a race to addict. The most common was "read my guide" and in most cases the guide had nothing to do with the issue of the original poster. I tired of fighting to get to the root of the issue when everyone had an "end all, cure all" guide that they fought about whose guide was best for the situation. Everyone wanted to be "King of the Hill" and got so wrapped in personal drama that they forgot what this place was for.... sharing information and helping other people. I think the true killer for me was the "Wolves" threads that got put in the safety valve. To allow a place for people to openly insult and bash another member, whether that person was deserving of a tongue lashing or not, was intolerable to me. Tongue lashings should be done by mods behind the scenes, not every member of the forum out in the open. I complained about it via pm to admin and nothing was said or done so I decided I was done. I still check in once in while to stay in touch with some of the interesting people I've gotten the pleasure of knowing, but I won't foray out into the rest of the hostile environment called Afterdawn Forums. And this new version of AD... ewwwww.... me no likey.... I do like alot of the features of it, but the appearance is just not my cup of tea. Guess it matters not, since I'm just a lurker.
zippyd my fellow lurker hi i notice even with our longevity on AD. that we are still seniors. (obviously not social climbers, or maybe even a tad lazy )
Once upon a time I might have cared. Nowadays I just sigh at the idiocy of it all and move on. The wonderful thing about life is there's always a choice. My choice is to ignore the stupid [censored].
