BBS End-of-Year Awards 2007

[Nineteen Seventy Nine]

Happy New Year, everybody! I hope I'm not too late on this one, I kept waiting for it to show up.

Same thing as last year. You don't have to use the categories I listed, and you can make up your own. Please, just don't get too serious about things, and as of this time there are no actual awards available to winners.

Best thread of '07:

I'll post mine later.

[coke_a_holic]

I need more time to think about it, but the best thread is definitely, without a doubt the Music Upload/Sharing thread. Holy shit. I had over EIGHT DAYS of music I hadn't listened to. I've been going through it, though, and I'm at, like, 6 and a half or something now.

[JohnnyNemesis]

I nominate TheOldMark for every single category.

[0r4ng3]

the best thread is definitely, without a doubt the Music Upload/Sharing thread.
That, and the circumcision thread.

[Harnum]

I'll do mine right now and edit in some later if I'm unsure.

- Best member of '07: mrconeman. He's helped with a lot of music related stuff with me.

- Worst member of '07: noodlesfan (razor in dick? come on now..)

- Funniest member of '07: 0r4ng3 (comics ftw), JN, RickyCrack, Vera, and JoY. (Bella and Sanni together make me laugh. [/suckup] )

- Best newbie of '07: Mr Gepetto. He came from nowhere and is totally fine.

- Worst newbie of '07: I honestly don't know...

- Most improved member of '07: [edit in]

- Most annoying member of '07: noodlesfan. (...as stated above!)

- Best thread of '07: Play!!! (http://www.offspring.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30739) or all of the threads that lead to the big mod 'scandal' thing. Where we though we were gonna get all new mods. Oh, what a fun time. (Ehm, in all honestly... I can't remember if that was early in 2007. It was, wasn't it? :o )

As I said, I'll edit tomorrow.

[ilovellamas]

Were there any newbies this year? At least, any of merit?

[Harnum]

Mr. Gepetto, unless he was an old BBS member on a new account (I hopez nottt. :o). Either way, he's decent. Kinda hangs around 'Your Band' and 'Other Bands' more, but you can actually talk to him. Besides him, there's nobody really.

[Nineteen Seventy Nine]

MVP member of '07: Jakebert. He made so many good threads when this BBS was on the downside, and had some awesome posts.
Worst member of '07: Noodlesfan, maybe?
Funniest member of '07: 0r4ng3, and that JohnnyNemesis character.
Best newbie of '07: Mr. Gepetto
Most improved member of '07: Err, tough to say.
Most annoying member of '07: I'm with noodlesfan.
Best thread of '07: Oh yes, the Music Sharing thread.

Were there any newbies this year? At least, any of merit?
Mr. Gepetto is the only one really that gave himself some notice. He gets my vote for best newbie.

[Harnum]

Best thread of '07: Oh yes, the Music Sharing thread.
Honestly, I don't use this thread. Maybe I should? Anyway, is it actually that great?

[mrconeman]

This is going to be hard to do, I think. The categories with which I can actually think of some people, I can think of too many, and other categories I can think of none at all appropriate.
Gimmie some time to think and I'll do something.

Am I cynical in saying that I'm not really a music sharing thread enthusiast?
It's useful in seeing recommendation's and of course, letting other people know about stuff, I suppose, but if you already know what you're after, why not just go download it?

[coke_a_holic]

The joy of the thread is downloading music you may have never even heard of before and expanding horizons further than you thought you would. You should definitely check it out; I try and include reviews of albums that describe them with my uploads so that people who may have never heard of the album could determine if they want to try it out or not.

Also, I guess I'll fill this nonsense out:

Best member of '07: I would agree with Wally, and say Jakebert has been particularly excellent this year.
Worst member of '07: Sin Studly ditched us. Weak.
Funniest member of '07: Mota Boy continues to make me lol.
Best newbie of '07: Kasavin, obv.
Worst newbie of '07: Kasavin, obv.
Most improved member of '07: I wasn't paying attention here.
Most annoying member of '07: Kasavin, obv.
Best thread of '07: Music sharing thread.

[Stranger With Candy]

I have not been posting that mutch the last year, but ill do a list anyway.

Best member of '07:This is a tough one. Jakebert and JohnnyNemesis.
Worst member of '07: Noodlesfan
Funniest member of '07: JohnnyNemesis
Best newbie of '07: I dont know...
Worst newbie of '07: Umm... Emil
Most improved member of '07: I dont know...
Most annoying member of '07: Noodlesfan
Best thread of '07: Gotta be Play!!!

[the_offsprings_monkey]

I didn't spend too much time on here in 2007, so I'm gonna go by what I seen!

Best member of '07:JohnnyNemesis.
Worst member of '07: Camelfilters and Lodat
Funniest member of '07: JohnnyNemesis
Best newbie of '07: Was there any new people this year?
Worst newbie of '07: See the above
Most improved member of '07: I didn't notice anybody had improved this year.
Most annoying member of '07: Camelfilters
Best thread of '07: Dunno

[TBD]

Best member of '07: Umm....I enjoy hornypope/wheelchairman posts I guess. And that Chinese dude with 3 posts who just posted in the Photo Album cause his english is ridiculous.
Worst member of '07: Camel Filters
Funniest member of '07: not sure
Best newbie of '07: not sure
Worst newbie of '07: Camel Filters I think he's new.
Most improved member of '07: Don't know.
Most annoying member of '07: Camel Filters.
Best thread of '07: Don't know.

I still like you mr. Camel Filters. You're the only name I could think of.

[sKratch]

web_dude all around

[TBD]

LOL Justin Beope.

edited out incriminating information

[RickyCrack]

i vote for whiplash. in all categories.

[SkunkIt]

I haven't been here much, but I recommend three more categories:

Sexiest member

Blackest member

sexiest, blackest member

[JohnnyNemesis]

I'm going to win at least two of those categories. <3

[RickyCrack]

Blackest member

sexiest, blackest member

ricky is obviously removed from these categories since he's rly not black and since i'm blacker than him.........................

[SkunkIt]

Ricky is black, you are albino black. Therefore, you are both black. However, Ricky is blacker than Ricky.

[RickyCrack]

but i have a black uncle in rl

[Lizardus]

I nominate everyone for everything.
That should take care of it.

[mrconeman]

k here I go

Best member of '07: Honestly, for me this could go to Jakebert for keeping the place alive, or Johnnynemesis or Wheelchairman or Motaboy just for consistent great posting.

Worst member of '07: The epic faggotrifecta of Zagmeno, Noodlesfan and Lodat. Maybe that's just a hangover from 06, I honestly can't even remember if they were at their worst this year?

Funniest member of '07: Orange has been making me laugh as always, and it seems that every single time Skratch posts he says something lolworthy.

Best newbie of '07": There wasn't one.

Worst newbie of '07: All of them, because they failed to produce a good one.

Most improved member of '07: Harnum, he's one of the only members still active in Your band, which for a long time for me was the best part of this place, and he's just generally pretty cool. Y'know, for a Canadian. I was going to put Sinister here too, but that would have been more for his efforts off the board than on. And he's Canadian too, we don't need two of them.

Most annoying member of '07: TheoldMark. He hasn't done anything particularly bad of late I don't think, but it's like, I see his name and I'm annoyed just by the connotations.

Most unfortunate decrease in posting of '07: Sin Studly. Leaving was gay, but seriously, he was one of the best posters on here, his posts were always of high quality, even when dealing with morons, and you could never quite tell if he was entirely serious or not, I liked that about him. I<3llamas should stop her posting decrease also. Also, PaintitBlack and JoY.

Most fortunate decrease in posting of '07: I feel like I'll be lynched for saying it, but I honestly never saw the merit of some of the 1337 posters that don't really post anymore, and just so I'm not a fag, yeah, I'll name names, The_Goddess seemed particularly boring, and Iza only seemed to show up to agree with Sunny or JoY or someone and leave again. Sunny is good though.

Most highly justified ban of all time: Noodlesfan. Great justice.

Best thread of '07: All the Camel Filters threads provided lols, drama and entertainment when it was sorely lacking.

I may or may not add more.

[the_offsprings_monkey]

this could go to Jakebert for keeping the place alive

Actually I was thinking along these lines! Is it me or is this place kinda dying?!

[HornyPope]

Actually I was thinking along these lines! Is it me or is this place kinda dying?!

It's you...

Most fortunate decrease in posting of '07: I feel like I'll be lynched for saying it, but I honestly never saw the merit of some of the 1337 posters that don't really post anymore, and just so I'm not a fag, yeah, I'll name names, The_Goddess seemed particularly boring, and Iza only seemed to show up to agree with Sunny or JoY or someone and leave again. Sunny is good though.

The used to post bunches though, as indicated by their post count (and much, much more before this board).

[Jakebert]

I usually have trouble with these, but here it goes.

Best member of '07: 3 way tie between Little Miss 1565, JN, and 0r4ng3.
Worst member of '07: TheOldMark
Funniest member of '07: ninth
Best newbie of '07" I haven't noticed any of the new people this year unless they were bad, so I can't say anything for this one.
Worst newbie of '07: Schythe Death
Most improved member of '07: I haven't really been paying attention, but I'm sure there's a few.
Most annoying member of '07: noodlesfan
Best thread of '07: Any thread that came out of the April Fools moderator prank.

[Sunny]

ok... hm. i'm having a hard time making a list because a lot of the popular male personalities kinda... blend into one in my perception. like it's just a homogenous mass of kinda witty, decently intelligent young guys that occasionally bring the lols, but seem to have no distinctive traits of their own. :z

but anyways.

it's a shame ninth doesn't post much anymore.

as far as best members go, 1565, skratch and mota boy are consistently funny and smart. not to mention hottiezz.

[Harnum]

Most improved member of '07: Harnum, he's just generally pretty cool. Y'know, for a Canadian.
For a Canadian? that hurt.. H84U! :(

[JohnnyNemesis]

Harnum was awesome since day one though.

Oh, and I'm surprised this thread has existed for 18 hours without accusations of 1337ness and asskissing. Is the whining truly dead?

[nieh]

No one voted for me! It's a 1337 conspiracy! New mods!

[Harnum]

Oh, and I'm surprised this thread has existed for 18 hours without accusations of 1337ness and asskissing. Is the whining truly dead?
I hope. Come to think of it, I don't think there's that much whining about the whole '1337' thing anymore. Besides the occasional MB420 and OldMark run-in. But I think those are minor.

No one voted for me! It's a 1337 conspiracy! New mods!
Winwinwin! =]

[calichix]

I'm glad sunny's back. it's a drag sin studly left. other than that I haven't been paying attention enough to give an opinion on anything.

[Meg]

I don't know about the other categories, but definitely the Play! thread would be my favourite =]

[coke_a_holic]

Josh: me too! I FAVOR NUDE MODS.

I CHANGE MY ANSWER TO JOSH FOR ALL CATEGORIES.

Hey Rick, do you wear Ben Sherman? Because you're such a mod.

[Camel Filters]

Worst newbie of '07: Camel Filters I think he's new.

That's impossible because I joined on November 20th, 2006. So Techniclly, I wasn't a newbie.

[drex878]

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned Venom in this thread. I miss that funny old dickhead.

[sKratch]

I nominate Claibia for "Most often responsible for causing me not to post because he said what I wanted to say, but did it way better than I could have."

I also nominate myself for "Most unnecessarily verbose sentences whose goal is to minimize ambiguity through specificity of diction, but in the end are just confusing and/or don't make any sense period."

[Harnum]

I also nominate myself for "Most unnecessarily verbose sentences whose goal is to minimize ambiguity through specificity of diction, but in the end are just confusing and/or don't make any sense period."
This post is truly amazing!

.. and because of that, sigged.

[Little_Miss_1565]

I concur with Claibe's nomination, skratchy.


I also nominate myself for "Most unnecessarily verbose sentences whose goal is to minimize ambiguity through specificity of diction, but in the end are just confusing and/or don't make any sense period."

Appropriately perfect, really, I look forward out on lovin' soon.

[nieh]

Josh: me too! I FAVOR NUDE MODS.

I CHANGE MY ANSWER TO JOSH FOR ALL CATEGORIES.

Hey Rick, do you wear Ben Sherman? Because you're such a mod.

That means I'm tied with TheOldMark, Whiplash and Web_Dude, the cream of the crop. Awesome!

[ilovellamas]

I also nominate myself for "Most unnecessarily verbose sentences whose goal is to minimize ambiguity through specificity of diction, but in the end are just confusing and/or don't make any sense period."

I vote for Scythe for that one.

I will cry 1337 conspiracy cause I wasn't voted for anything yet :( :(

[TBD]

hottest member: vera

<3

[JohnnyNemesis]

I nominate Claibia for "Most often responsible for causing me not to post because he said what I wanted to say, but did it way better than I could have."

Actually, that quote made up about 99% of your posts this year

I also nominate myself for "Most unnecessarily verbose sentences whose goal is to minimize ambiguity through specificity of diction, but in the end are just confusing and/or don't make any sense period."

I should win that one. I do it too often, and I annoy myself with it.

Appropriately perfect, really, I look forward out on lovin' soon.

I love it.

[JoY]

I want to thank Harnum & mrconeman for the lovin'.

but I'd like to add Sim was, is & will never be boring & Iza has contributed a shitload to this board over time. their interest in this board just decreased & not without reason. I miss their regular presence around here.<3

I agree with Laura that it sucks to see Justin gone & it's fantastic to have Sunny around again. I also love to see Laura posting semi-regularly again. I love her way of wording things. she gets a chuckle out of me with every post.

some nominations: Claibe is the best at wording his always sensible points, Josh was undeserved the most unlucky member of the year, Per & Tizz the cutest member-combination, Sanni the most cuddle-worthy member & deserving of the female-with-best-functioning-brain-award. which is special, because Scythe knows, there aren't many females with a functioning brain at all. TheOldMark caused the most disturbance & gets to share the by-moderators-most-discussed-award with Noodlesfan & Scythe & Venom may share the award for spreading the most bitterness. Brianna gets the mad-Brianna-science-award.<3

I could nominate everyone for something, but I really don't want to do that. I already should win the award for being the most long-winded member as it is.

edit; & making the most edits.

[Sunny]

thank you, m'dear.

i'm with you on the Sim thing, i was actually kind of surprised to see her singled out as the "boring 1337 member". uh, wtf. i personally feel her posts are thought out and interesting. *shrugs* i think Sim's online persona can get a bit over the top now and then, but in debates she makes better points than most, and eloquently so.

[mrconeman]

It's entirely possible that I missed her prime, but this last year all I've seen her do is agree with people really.

[Harnum]

It's entirely possible that I missed her prime, but this last year all I've seen her do is agree with people really.I agree.

..

Wait, what?

[T-6005]

I think Mota Boy has some of the best responses I read, although like Skratch mentioned it kind of curtails any attempt at a point I might have made because I'd just be repeating his point.

And Iza and Sim for most unfortunate decrease in posting.

I think Harnum's a pretty cool guy, but don't much notice him aside from Your Band. I don't know quite how new Sham is, but he seems willing to learn and friendly enough that I'd nominate him for best newbie.

[JohnnyNemesis]

Best thread of '07: Lodat

I'll read what the categories are later.

[Nicole]

I haven't read enough of the BBS by any means to know what's going on, I didn't even know half the people that have been mentioned as leaving were gone. I was assuming Sunny and Cali were just always here, oops.

I have to give a mention to 1565 as best member, because when I read her posts I find myself agreeing and thinking she's the voice of reason.

And I have to agree, Mota Boy still blows me away with his train of thought and wording. Pure brilliance. No category there, there should be.

[mrconeman]

I agree.

..

Wait, what?
It took me like 4 reads of this post to get what you did there. That was wonderful.

[Endymion]

why don't we have cool categories like "best hair" "most likely to succeed" "least likely to end up in prison" "largest penis" "most likely to be dead by year's end" etc?

[Andy]

I haven't paid enough attention lately to make a proper ballot, so I'll just list the members I like and happily read posts from (whether they still post or not):

Ricky, Per, Tijs, Dave (tunb), 1565, Endymion, Coneman, Tijs, Meg, 1979, Bella, Sunny, Jesse, Simona, Thibault, Mike, Alec. I don't think I've missed anyone out.

I would list the members I don't care for, but I've not drank enough. In fact, I don't actively dislike anyone. Just don't really care.

[Harnum]

It took me like 4 reads of this post to get what you did there. That was wonderful.
Someone's a bit slow tonight? =]

"largest penis"... "most likely to be dead by year's end"

I'll take both of these, thank you very much.

[Rag Doll]

why don't we have cool categories like "best hair" "most likely to succeed" "least likely to end up in prison" "largest penis" "most likely to be dead by year's end" etc?

yeah. like superlatives in a year book and shit.

[Endymion]

i vote sam for biggest boobies!

[Andy]

I'm sure Jojan will have something to say about that.

[Endymion]

my one regret in life is that i no longer have his boob photo =/

[Andy]

Somebody must have. Please.

[Harnum]

Jojan's boob makes me go from :) to :( to :confused:

Remember when everyone's avatars were his right and left boob? Oh, the horrorz!

[Camel Filters]

Remember when everyone's avatars were his right and left boob? Oh, the horrorz!

No I do not remember

[Mota Boy]

i vote sam for biggest boobies!That's not really something you can vote on. We'd have to establish a BBS Weights and Means committee.

[Andy]

Not to mention a whole new Photo Album thread.

[Harnum]

No I do not remember
It was a short period. I guess post-wishomie and pre-camel filters.

[Endymion]

it was only jebus and i. no one else had the stomach for it.

[Harnum]

Yes, that's who did it! Who was left and who was right? Was one heavier than the other?

[Dead Kennedy]

I wanna nominate myself and my invisible buddy Al over here. Can I do that?

[HornyPope]

I wanna nominate myself and my invisible buddy Al over here. Can I do that?

You can always nominate yourself, but be mindful that the voting comitee is very strict. Frankly, I doubt your chances.

[Dead Kennedy]

You can always nominate yourself, but be mindful that the voting comitee is very strict. Frankly, I doubt your chances.

And what about Al?

[HornyPope]

What about him?

[Dead Kennedy]

Can I nominate him, you know, hes very useful :D

[HornyPope]

You can nominate him. :)

[Andy]

No he isn't; He's fictional.

[0r4ng3]

Technically neither of them are eligible since they both joined in 2008.

[Dead Kennedy]

I nominate:
Best Member of 07- HornyPope
Worst member of 07- Al, invisible buddy
funniest member of 07- Jojan (it just croosed my mind, no offense to every funny guy on forum)
Best newbie of 07-Mr. Gepetto (advice:find Pinocchio!)

[HornyPope]

Tanks! I'll vote for you in 2009.

[Mota Boy]

[JohnnyNemesis]

Most likely to be in the city sometime so we can make out: NOT JOHNNY "RIQUITO BANANA" NEMESIS!!

I wanna rub our penii together.

[Mota Boy]

Dun dunt dunt dun, dun dunt dunt duh-dan

DUN DUNT DUNT DUN, DUN DUNT DUNT DUH-DAN!

[Camilamazed]

Whoa


What made bd007h leave?

[ruroken]

Worst member of '07: TheOldMark
(Honorable Mentions: Lodat225)

Least sad departure: bd007h
(Honorable Mentions: Sin Studly)

1. Richard > You
2. You lie. You know you miss Justin.
3. I also vote Richard for everything.

[nieh]

What made bd007h leave?

He never quite left, but he doesn't post nearly as much anymore.

[Jakebert]

The rumor is that he joined the police force and is trying to settle who killed Kurt Cobain.

That, or Dave Grohl lifted the restraining order.

[JohnnyNemesis]

1. Richard > You

Go fuck yourself.

2. You lie. You know you miss Justin.

I honestly don't. Not even the slightest bit. I would be really happy if he came back, though. But that doesn't mean I miss him.

[Bazza]

I'm surprised no one has nominated Tijs for the all round nice guy award.

[Lodat225]

1. Richard > You
2. You lie. You know you miss Justin.
3. I also vote Richard for everything.

you know what you're talking about.

I also nominate ruroken for everything except the negative nominations.

[calichix]

oh, c'mon. anyone who says they don't miss justin/ wasn't secretly in mad cyb3r love with him is sooooo full of it.

[JohnnyNemesis]

I was madly in love with him when he posted more often. His decrease in posting + absolutely shocking performance in that thread (Justin? WHINING? I swear on all that is holy, that's the last thing I would have ever expected) made the transition to departure practically seamless.

I do love him, seriously. But he made leaving so easy.

[ilovellamas]

I tried to like him. I really did. But his posts just generally bored me. And he really did whine too much (not just his leaving post... what about that HAU/sinster incident?) to pretend to be as much of an internet bully as he did. Over time, I often ended up skimming most of his posts. Meh.

[calichix]

Maybe you just didn't get it.



ricky, uright. <3

[HornyPope]

I was madly in love with him when he posted more often. His decrease in posting + absolutely shocking performance in that thread (Justin? WHINING? I swear on all that is holy, that's the last thing I would have ever expected) made the transition to departure practically seamless.

I do love him, seriously. But he made leaving so easy.

I don't know why you think it's a big deal. It was his goodbye thread after 7 years here and he just got really emotional. Justin had emotional problems and struggled with it for as long as I know him. His badass personality was a shtick--and he pulled it off waaaay better than your lame, generic catchphrases. It's your fault for not knowing his personality outside of the BBS.

[JohnnyNemesis]

I don't know why you think it's a big deal

Big deal? No. Shock? Yes.

His badass personality was a shtick--and he pulled it off waaaay better than your lame, generic catchphrases.

I could give a fuck about his "badassness". I liked his humor.

It's your fault for not knowing his personality outside of the BBS.

Irrelevant. I didn't know him outside of the BBS.

[Duskygrin]

to my belief he's a capricorn

The Capricornian is generally a serious character possessing a wry sense of humor. Independent, steady as a rock, Capricorn reflects earthy qualities that range from clever to vacuous. Mostly cautious, confident, strong willed, reasonable and hard working, Capricorns are a rock upon which to build. They are often aloof, shrewd, practical, responsible and persevering. They are capable of great endurance Reliable in any profession they undertake, but lacking in originality, they usually excel in following up on what someone else has started.

Within prescribed areas, Capricorn is a resourceful, practical manager. These folks set high standards for themselves and others. They are self critical, and work well in a disciplined environment, demanding equal measure from their subordinates.

A careful, ambitious planner, Capricorn moves forward with quiet, deliberate persistence. They can be frugal, possessing the ability to achieve results with minimum effort and expense. Highly organized, they excel in managing several projects simultaneously.

Capricorn will often vie for a position of authority. Once attaining control, they are demanding and exacting in leadership. Although firm, they are usually fair to people they deal with. They value tradition.

Positive Traits

A person born under the sign of Capricorn will have a tendency to be goal oriented. They seek positions where they can have great control and authority. They don't function well in subordinate positions. If they believe they can succeed in attaining a goal, they will perservere until it is reached.

Capricorns tend to be profound thinkers. To them life is a serious business, and the need to be in control of it is paramount. They are seekers after knowledge and wisdom. Rational, logical and clearheaded, they have excellent concentration, and delight in all forms of debate but will maintain these bonds their entire life.

They are loyal to intimates. Never impetuous, they consider business and personal relationships carefully before becoming involved. These are family people, and family usually comes first, except where business is their primary concern.

Main positive traits: Ambitious, hard working, responsible, practical, perserverance, self-discipline.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Negative Traits

Their naturally pessimistic nature explains their wry sense of humor, which some think is no humor at all. They can spread gloom and tension in a minute and are quite capable of depressing everyone else around them. Never really up, but often down, they need a positive environment to enliven their spirits.
In personal relationships they tend to be uncomfortable. Rather self-centered, they are wary and suspicious of others. They often have few close friends,but indifferent and sometimes callous to those outside their circle.

Main negative traits: Stubborn, overbearing, unforgiving, inhibited, fatalistic, condescending.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Profession

The occupations Capricorns usually choose are as doctors, lawyers, accountants, and any endeavor that deals with maths or money. They excel as bureaucrats, especially where projects demanding long-term planning are concerned.

Capricorns also make excellent politicians due to their skill in debate, and good teachers . They do best in an environment wherein they can exercise their desire for authority and organization. They are good with their hands, and may choose to be engineers, farmers or builders. The wit and flippancy so characteristic of some Capricorns allows them to consider entertainment as a career. Many are also strongly attracted to musical pursuits.

Lucky Stone



Garnet

Garnets can be found in a wide variety of colors except for blue. This is due to the fact that there is a wide variety of chemical compositions in this family of gemstones. Garnet is the name of a large family of stones that includes almandine, andradite, grossular, pyrope, and spessartine. The most precious and widely used gems of all these families are almandine and pyrope.



oh fuck it, garnet is MY fave stone... got the loveliest garnet earrings on some birthday or other... garnet is usually found in deep, shimmering red, mind you

Big deal? No. Shock? Yes.

Shock is a big deal. Surprised - not a big deal.

I could give a fuck about his "badassness". I liked his humor.

I could give a fuck if you liked his humour. You implied how his whining contrasted with the personality he pulled off, and i'm telling you that this is just a gimmick. It's not one's real personality.

Irrelevant. I didn't know him outside of the BBS.

Don't blame you, I didn't like his personality outside of the BBS either.

My mistake, I misunderstood your post.

[Duskygrin]

Not horoscopes, zodiacs...

[Nicole]

Do you honestly believe that shit? I've never met anybody so far apart from their Star Sign. About the only accurate point is the sense of humour and the cleverness. The rest of it - the organisation, reliability etc etc is all wrong. Don't delude yourself.

[HeadAroundU]

Not horoscopes, zodiacs...
Same shit.
Don't delude yourself.
I love that word when Maria is around.

[BREAK]

In keeping with the spirit of Justin's legacy, I always hated him as a human being and I hope he never comes back. In fact, I wish he'd left sooner.

Lots of his posts were fucking brilliant, but the man was very clearly off his rocker.

[bd007h]

The rumor is that he joined the police force and is trying to settle who killed Kurt Cobain.

That, or Dave Grohl lifted the restraining order.

I must admit, this post is pure gold

I must admit, this post is pure gold

ummm, no it wasn't.

[JohnnyNemesis]

Actually, it was.

[Betty]

Rick I can never figure out what you actually think cause you're always switching what you say around...

I admire Justin cause I believe he is a genius.

[0r4ng3]

I have/had a somewhat neutral opinion on him. Sometimes he could be annoying, but other times he'd be hilarious. Especially when he talked about soccer/football.

[Autonomist]

I was a complete Justin fanboy, and believed he could pretty much do no wrong. He's one of the reasons I started and continued posting here.

[Nicole]

Hey Autonomist, where on Oz are you?

Slightly off topic but this entire thing HAS turned into a bit of a Justin-lovefest.

[Mota Boy]

I noticed the same thing. Love him, hate him or feign indifference, you can't ignore the motherfucker, even if he's but a ghost.

[Nicole]

Well it has been an ambition of his of late to have his own religion, with him as the Messiah. I need a really, really strong drink.

As to the zodiac, it depends on where in that zodiac you were born, as in the date, the circumstances, arrangement of stars and all that. My dad's got a mug for capricorn somewhere , and to be honest, most of what was in Maria's post describes my dad [B]perfectly

Christ that took a while to write

[Nicole]

That may be the case but that's not exactly the context she was applying it to.

[Sunny]

i don't get where the whole part of "justin was being a whiny bitch" comes from. i actually went back and read the thread for the first time, and he made excellent points as far as i'm concerned.

and honestly, even though his act would get old (really old, at times) it was still a bajillion times more entertaining than the lukewarm, pubescent attempts at wit that seem to have dominated this board.

clearly, i still visit and have no intention of leaving, but holy jesus on a turnpike this board used to be a lot less shitty.

[Autonomist]

Hey Autonomist, where on Oz are you?

Well it has been an ambition of his of late to have his own religion, with him as the Messiah. I need a really, really strong drink.There are still some Amazonian tribes that have yet to discover fire. They tend to be a bit shoot-y with the arrows, but if he can get past that, he's got a pretty easy place for a dry run.

[ruroken]

Don't blame you, I didn't like his personality outside of the BBS either.
Even now I can relate to him...

[Duskygrin]

oh for fuck sake nicole whoever you are, don't speak to me

as for the zodiac, meg, well yeah, it all depends, on the ascendant, too, and haven't a clue where justin was born and what hour and all that... anyway capricorn and I are so totally incompatible it's a hilarious tragedy

i'm gemini and i once dated a virgo i ditched him on account of his being the most selfish, catholic, hypocritical bastard i ever encountered in all-my-life. a liar, basically, and with that, greedy as all hell. well i knew when he was born, not his zodiac, i checked and found out he was a virgo, and boy did i laugh on seeing "incompatible" written in plain white over black. he was so fucking self-centered and down-to-earth i'll never, ever, ever consider dating a virgo again.

hau, horoscopes are shit. i can write my own horoscope for that matter. but check out what they say about geminis on a good zodiac page (i like findyourfate.com) and see if it compares favourably with yours truly. if it doesn't, then you'll just shrug it off, won't you?


oh and meg this shit is priceless; wish i had a mug for gems haha "great eaters of flesh" ace, baby

Oh jeez that's mature. I've been trying to point out your futile logic in your obsession for this guy you've never met in your life, who you used to send stalkerish emails WHILE I was dating him, and you act like I'm just randomly telling you facts like you're totally wrong, when I know you actually are right off the mark? God, I'm trying to do you a favour and say stop analyzing somebody you have never met, trying to pull off the Zodiac as some kind of personality guide. Because it's almost entirely innaccurate, by a long, long shot. I would have been nicer but your obsession is nothing short of disturbing and it's hard for me to swallow.

nicole, when I say "don't speak to me", it means "don't speak to me".

Maria, this is a public forum. You do not get to dictate who may and may not speak to you. There is an ignore function to strip out any posters you do not want to see on your screen. There's also a Greasemonkey script to remove them entirely and not just a "Post from someone on your ignore list" message.

I highly suggest you use it.

[Duskygrin]

I wouldn't wish to philosophise overly much on it, but I don't have any power. Hence I can't actually make Nicole stop talking to me on a whim.

However, I felt that as she seemed a little untoward, she needed reminding that "don't speak to me" means "don't speak to me".

She still may do as she feels like.

[Little_Miss_1565]

Do you need reminding that you don't get to throw around demands like that? You have the tools at your disposal to prevent her from annoying you--and prevent you from annoying everyone else on this forum with your tantrum. Use them.

this is like prepubescent jealous girl angst.

holy. shit. did anyone hear about that girl whose mom and sister made a fake persona on the internet and seduced the girl so she was totally in love with her internet boyfriend then they told her it was fake and she killed herself? :[

[T-6005]

Some threads are better off derailed. This is not one of them.

[Mota Boy]

holy. shit. did anyone hear about that girl whose mom and sister made a fake persona on the internet and seduced the girl so she was totally in love with her internet boyfriend then they told her it was fake and she killed herself? :[Dude, not even. They never told her it was fake; they told her that they didn't like her any more and heard she was "mean to her friends" (the girl was an ex-friend of the girl they went after, so they were getting "revenge" or something like that - oh, and the girl's mom knew that their target had been taking anti-depressants) and that nobody liked her and that she should go kill herself.

And THEN.

It was only several weeks after the incident that it all came out (a mutual friend told them), and the family of the girl that killed herself was keeping a foosball table in storage as a Christmas present for the family of the woman that killed their girl, and so they fucking took an axe to it and left it in chunks in their driveway. And the POLICE only learned about the whole thing when the other family tried to file charges for destroying the foosball table.

While the whole thing is a tragic story about extreme human pettiness, I love the fact that it's basically elicited a sense of national mob justice. The woman had to close down her business and people protested outside her home and the local attorney general tried to find a law to prosecute her under but couldn't so the state *passed* a law specifically to make the crime an offense and because everyone feels something should be done to the woman, the attorney general's office out in California is now looking into charging her for defrauding MySpace (because MySpace is headquartered in Cali, they have jurisdiction) and the entire nation basically hates her.

There's something about that I kinda like, that we can all pull together collectively and go "Man, what a bitch."

[JohnnyNemesis]

Word, Mota Boy. What gets me about the whole situation is that so many people (including myself) seem to be extra appalled at the fact that the woman wasn't the slightest bit apologetic. That little detail really gets people's blood flowing, and I understand why, but it's a little funny because if she did apologize, I'm thinking these same people would go all "ohhh, save it, of course you would say that NOW" on us. And again, for good reason. It's just funny how the absence of an apology increases the venom, even though the inclusion of an apology would do nothing to soothe anyone's rage. I guess I find it sorta chuckleworthy people are so mediated by those kinds of details (apologies, motive), but when it comes down to it, the disgust over the actual crime overshadows everything...as it should.

[calichix]

ooooh. god, news is such a game of telephone. wait, so the girl's mom knew about the prank? or the ex-friend's mom knew? why doesn't everyone hate the girl who played the prank in the first place?


my little sister did that to her friend jasmin. she e-seduced jasmin and got her to tell this fake dude she'd blow him and they should meet up, then my sister and her evil little friend sent the messages to jasmin's boyfriend. the most depressing part of it (besides the fact that my sister actually BRAGGED to me about it and showed me the back and forths after the fact) is that somewhere in the messages jasmin had gone on a little shpiel about how much she loves my sister and the other little terror.

ps where's my china thing at?

[Mota Boy]

To me it's not just the lack of an apology (I think they did go to the family's house to apologize or say something, but the family, understandably, didn't even want to see them, 'specially 'cause they originally tried to cover it all up and whatnot), it's the fact that they tried to press charges over the goddamn foosball table. You think they could've at least been all like "OK, a foosball table for a daughter, that's cool." (I mean, plenty of culture's have blood feuds for Chrissakes, we're just like "Oh yeah? Take THAT semi-luxurious entertainment device!")

Lauura - the ex-friend's mom knew, and was helping her daughter along with it. And I think she told another woman, all giggly-like, who ended up telling the dead girl's mother a few weeks after the incident. People don't hate the daughter because she was, like, thirteen at the time, and little children are expected to be stupid and cruel. The idea of an adult intentionally fucking with an overweight, depressed girl like that is what sets people off. Oh, and their address is totally pasted all over the web if you really want to look it up and send them a dead chipmunk.

I think it's just that the woman thought she was bonding with her daughter and defending her from... something, I dunno, and was too caught up in being her daughter's friend to be her daughter's mom. Oh, and you have one twisted sister, sister.

[Lizardus]

So, Who wins?

[Nicole]

I have seriously never heard that story before. What the hell is wrong with some people? Has anybody got a link for this or something?

Laura, your sister has some issues there. Yay for the petty teenage years.

[wheelchairman]

Well I imagine Laura's disgust will help put her right. Ah the advantage of being the oldest sibling. Giving all the judgement while avoiding most of it during your adolescence. (Although I suppose it could be argued that parents come down the hardest on the oldest and then loosen up/get tired the further on down it goes.)

it's interesting how everyone who's banding together to attack this girl's vile mother pretends they give a shit about the girl who died as if they wouldn't look down their noses at her if they'd ever met. a lot of the time the most infuriated people in situations like this are infuriated because they see something of themselves in the infuriator (supposing that's a word). of course anyone who hears about this is going to say, "what a piece of human trash." but I think it's probably more of a complete lack of self worth on the mother's part than pure evil maliciousness. that being said, maybe I'll tell my sister and she can send the unapologetic mother a douchebag in the mail.

ahaha you nailed it. I gave her the longest most belittling lecture of all time when she did that. she has no idea I did awful things to girls when I was her age too and that I'm still a major dick on occasion, she just strives to be half the beacon of morality her big sister is.

dude, it already happened. the chick's dead. it's kind of irreversible. all that could be done right now to make the situation the slightest bit less terrible & inhumane, is an apology. of course now the shit's already hit the fan & no one can turn back time, people hope for an apology. for a deep, soulcracking feeling of guilt & remorse. it's the last & least thing you could hope for, but nooooo. that..WOMAN, a mother for god's sake, has to be the most childish, immature, revengeful bitch on earth. which was of course to be expected, seeing the whole act had to involve those traits. but I already said this in very elaborate ways; that people can't expect remorse, or even a fake apology from someone who is twisted enough to do such a thing.

thanks a bunch, Laura. ;p <33

what is there you can do, after a young teenage girl already commited suicide?

not much, but you could at least apologise. it's just not to be expected in this case.

did we ever talk, or was it my last topic that got me this interesting nomination?

[Sham]

That lady doesn't deserve to give an apology. Some things are so bad apoligizing is out of bounds. It's like Osama apoligizing for 9/11, or Hitler apologizing for the Holocaust.

[JoY]

or like giving Jews & their family members a load of money as an apology for the discomfort of the second world war?

if an apology is sincere & not just a couple of words to make someone feel better, or to look better in the eyes of others, or to make the situation less uncomfortable for yourself... any apology from anyone in any situation is welcome.

your scenario; if Hitler was still alive & would tell my family he's sorry for what he did & that he was wrong, knows that now, & feels remorse.. I bet every single one of my family members would say it's too little too late & turn around & walk away. but at the same time.. him knowing & admitting he was wrong & feeling bad about it.. I think that would mean something to them. they probably wouldn't admit it, but he would become more human & less of a monster in their eyes.

[TBD]

That Myspace mom fucking pwnt the shit out of that dumbass thirteen year old girl. Who fucking cares she would have found another reason to kill herself anyways. Natural selection. If they charge the mom over that the justice system is flawed.

[calichix]

yeah, it's definitely not the holocaust. the mom did a really mean thing, sure. but people manage to muster up sympathy for women who have smoked crack during pregnancy, left babies in dumpsters, abandoned or neglected their children, etc. so wtf.

[wheelchairman]

Who fucking cares she would have found another reason to kill herself anyways. Natural selection.

Not only is that not necessarily true at all. Those two sentences don't fit together in any way. Furthermore natural selection is no longer the manner in which our species moves forward anyways.

[Offspring-Junkie]

gossip?

did we ever talk, or was it my last topic that got me this interesting nomination?

1. No.
2. I just think you post (very) much and nothing about The Offspring or similar topics. I don't say that's bad, but that's the way it is. Gossip was the first word that came into my mind.

[nieh]

No one in general chat makes posts about the Offspring. That's why it's called general chat and not GOD 2: Electric Boogaloo.

[Offspring-Junkie]

Yeah, I know. That's ok. No big deal. Do I have to apologize, or what? I know what general chat means. I never saw her like in general offspring discussion, that's what I mean. But that's ok either. Get over it.

1. No.
2. I just think you post (very) much and nothing about The Offspring or similar topics. I don't say that's bad, but that's the way it is. Gossip was the first word that came into my mind.

so not talking about the Offspring is gossip?
I learn something new every day.

I don't only hang out in General Chat, by the way. not that I talk much about the Offspring in other forums, but I do visit most of them regularly, with or without posting there. not that it's important anyway.

& actually, you don't get to talk to nieh like "get over it". you made a wrong judgement about me, which is fine, because you don't know me, but when he points out this is General Chat, & he has every right to point it out, you don't get to say "get over it". like he has to get over the fact that I don't post much in GOD. I think you need to get over it.

[Duskygrin]

as far as gossip goes, you're still the queen. and blah and blah and blah and don't you talk to nieh that way and blah and blah and blah and blah and my mother this and my bf that and my second cousin twice removed that and blah and blah and blah and me a gossiper? NEVER and blah and blah and blah

you certainly make it a point of being a pest. i've grown to smile tenderly whenever you post some venomous thing like the above. you're such a scorpio.

P.S.: did I mention he's Huib and I'm Isabel? Amen? But I'd better watch out, a friend is hitting on me! Ah! What must I do?

[nieh]

I think Maria is just mad about this:

although I get along with Maria, especially in one-on-one conversations, I totally, completely, utterly support this post.

[Duskygrin]

ha. the lark. to think you've just been told to get over it and she just went "don't you talk to nieh that way!"

well how does it feel when you're talked to that way? do your knees buckle? do you piss your pants?

P.S.: really, I'd like to get back to being the same old Huib and Isabel, but.. is this possible? is he my future? Can it all be true? Can we go back to normal?

Will Barry open the door? WILL Connie confess to her ardent love for Donnagan?

Mostly just questions. For the suspense. You'll never know if Barry will actually open the door. Maybe he'll keep it ajar. Maybe he'll slam it against the wall and it'll slam back again from sheer momentum.

Maybe Huib and Isabel will marry, maybe Isa will ditch Huib, maybe she'll go out with the friend that's hitting on, maybe she'll have a threesome. Your guess is as good as mine.

From Maria's long running obsession with Justin (*takes you unawares*) to her talking about her and her man of the week doing poppers to just generally being a childish little bitch to anyone that voices a different opinion than her, she kind of forfeits her right to complain about anyone else posting personal/drama stuff on the board.

I FAVOR NEW MODS.

[Duskygrin]

So I'm guesing my "sphere" is earth and yours is out past Pluto then?

No. I'm intelligent. I'm beautiful. I've got a man whom I adore. What issues I might have are in no way commensurate to "oh my GOD someone is hitting on me". as for the poppers as to justin as to "man of the week" (what is that? I don't know that) I have no other words than: don't give a fuck what gossip, jokes, shit I've ever put here, my real life you know fuckall about, you nerd. Who is my man? What do I like in life? What are my studies and in what bank am I currently employed?

Really, sod off. you make me puke.

P.S.: what annoys me is that you're actually interested in gossip. like you've got no other hobby. just gossipgossipgossip and shit to spread on the cover of the sun. drama, gossip, and shit. if you could dig things up about me you would, you sick fuck

[JohnnyNemesis]

You study business.

[nieh]

I'm intelligent. I'm beautiful.

Those are both debatable.

[Duskygrin]

Ricky, I know you DESPISE business studies. That's not my fault. That's a generic term. I've actually done sth more PRECISE. Never mind. If you despise my studies or what I'm doing, so be it.

[JohnnyNemesis]

I do despise business studies, but that has nothing to do with this thread or you. I was merely answering one of the many questions you posed. Calm down.

[Duskygrin]

Hmm. Ok. To each their own I guess. *shrugs* I know I don't contribute in any great way to the general well-being of this nation, but I'm interested in what I do and dedicated. And besides *wry* I gotta earn my crust. Studies are over, am in last-year internship now.

But this is gossip! I'm off. Cheers.

[0r4ng3]

I don't think this argument (or even the cause of this argument) is gossip at all, what with it all being on a public forum. Isn't gossip usually behind people's backs, without their knowledge?

[Duskygrin]

I take offence. I don't like my mug be pasted on a frog's body. What if I posted your mug on a grasshopper's? Since you're so lean and lanky.

And besides, I look so young on it, I can't have been over 16.

Barely legal Maria!

[Duskygrin]

yeah, the wrong side of legal. but I had good times, fear not.

[nieh]

Yeah, you look about 40 instead of the usual 50.

[Duskygrin]

ho ho ho. I can see you've been to humour school.

[the_offsprings_monkey]

ho ho ho. I can see you've been to humour school.

Santa?

[Duskygrin]

ha. that's not a phrase I was acquainted with. over here there's a shitty radio station called "rire et chanson" (laughter & song). that's where nieh has prolly been schooled. I sense he fared well.

P.S.: (gossip) (I'm off, must shower and go out, check your pm's in a second though)

[coke_a_holic]

This is utterly ridiculous, stop feeding her and maybe she'll actually go away.

You make me so proud to be Welsh.

[HeadAroundU]

methinks it's time to depart?
It's time to delete all of your posts.

[HornyPope]

It's time to delete all of your posts.

Stick around on the forum for ten more years, campaign real hard when a mod position becomes available and do it yourself!

you fuck sheep! and not only that you're proud of it! :eek:

No fucking way are you older than 13.

[offspringer24]

im 27 in may fuck head, whats yer beef?

[Meg]

That you're remarkably immature.

Are you sure you weren't born on a leap year?

[JohnnyNemesis]

im 27 in may fuck head, whats yer beef?

If you're almost 27 years old, why the fuck would you possibly post something like "you fuck sheep"?

[0r4ng3]

And not to mention basically every other post.

Because he's a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.

Don't know what it's for....

[wheelchairman]

It's a common British joke about the Welsh.

[JohnnyNemesis]

Don't know what it's for....

I was waiting for that, I swear.

It's a common British joke about the Welsh.

I did not know that. Now I do.

[ilovellamas]

Don't know what it's for....

omg, how did I miss that?? :( You've retroactively won my heart.

[0r4ng3]

I think I'm missing something here. I'd ask someone to explain it, but it would probably ruin the joke.

[ilovellamas]

hint: Sometimes, people make a war. They don't know what it's for. But a certain Hungarian rapper knows that it's for business.

Nice and dreamy post. She's going to do it herself sooner or later.

If the Mossad wants to enlist my services, i'm sure they know how to find me.

[JoY]

as far as gossip goes, you're still the queen. and blah and blah and blah and don't you talk to nieh that way and blah and blah and blah and blah and my mother this and my bf that and my second cousin twice removed that and blah and blah and blah and me a gossiper? NEVER and blah and blah and blah

jesus; learn concision.

- I didn't gossip about nieh by saying he didn't deserve such a ridiculously rude reaction. wtf.
- I share things about me & about my life. because it's easier said than done to understand a situation/person over the internet. talking about my family & my man, the people I love, isn't gossip. they are part of my life.
- asking for advice when I'm in a messy situation, isn't gossip either.
- using a story, or an experience of myself, or somebody else as an example, isn't gossip either.

you people don't know what gossip is. it's habitually discussing private stuff about other people behind their back for the love of sensation. when I tell something about somebody else to you guys, the focus is never on just the story & getting oooh's & aaah's. it usually always has a purpose.

edit; alright, now I'm actually updated & have read the rest of the discussion... what the fucking hell? Maria, you drag things into this that all have to do with me personally. & you ridicule them. you must be kidding me. & this I get for agreeing with Nicole??

[Meg]

And it's usually derogatory. And I should imagine it would be kind of difficult to gossip derogatory stuff about yourself when you're trying to get advice about something.

And usually "gossip" is the sort of thing mothers do. You know, on the edge of the football field when they're meant to be watching their kid. Something to do y'know?

[JoY]

hey, I remember days stories about me & my relationship on here were completely out of my control. I had to hear things about my relationship through this board & it was pretty much a soap opera even I was watching. I was used to people on here having an opinion about private things about me & my life, that I didn't inform them on. the only way I could maximize my control over it, was by oversharing myself, so at least people heard it from me, before they heard it from anyone else.

if I let some of you enjoy my posts as some kind of soap opera by sharing things about my life & asking for advice, then yay for you. if people don't want to read it, fine. but this is my life. maybe I come off on here as egocentric & selfabsorbed to some people, but I am pretty damn sure that I give out advice more often, than I ask for it. we're supposed to interact on here, I like interacting.

ps. I wish my boyfriend was in the Offspring, because then I could still mention him, without gossiping.

[HornyPope]

Maria's just doing it for the attention. Don't be compelled to apologize, it's not your fault she has a problem with you. Being outspoken is not a bad thing at all.

I'm right with you on that Isa, as pointless as my opinion is going to be in this context. All of that just for agreeing with me, kind of reflects how much I'm hated. And I really don't give a shit, it's funny as.

For the record, I don't remember you "gossiping" as such. I think the translation there is your presence is pissing her off. Cause I'm at a loss to pinpoint anything else that it be directed at.

i dont even notice joys posts which means shes not that annoying or something.

Take that, Endy!

[JohnnyNemesis]

But I thought it was the same hair :(

Like, you know, when an actor gets nominated twice in a year for his role in two different awards?

[Bazza]

Yeah sooo I'm drunk. I'm actually gonna concentrate on the whole typing thing. So what I really wanna know is what the fuck was the whole Maria thing with mentioning Barry in the end of year bbs awards thread? i hope that wasn't a reference to me, since I'm the only Barry here?

Yeah so a repost-ish, maybe it's more apt here. This has been bugging me a little, so if anyone wants to give some insight then please do.

[nieh]

I think she was just throwing random names out there at that point.

[Bazza]

Quite a random/coincidental name. Surely more random would be pierre/jerome/jean etc.

hey, when you have a personality that has a very small treshold to go bazerk at someone... you can't blame the trigger.

& thanks, all is fine.:) like you said, our opinions in this context probably aren't valued a whole deal, so none of the posts we direct to each other will be taken seriously, except by the one it's directed to, rite? ;]

i dont even notice joys posts which means shes not that annoying or something.

are you serious about that?
& what the hell happened to your ability to type?

Why do the two have the same avatar?

hahahahahahahaha!! *two thumbs up*

[TBD]

am i getting graded? i don't think so.

also, if you're going to criticize someone's typing, don't say "when you have a personality that has a very small treshold to go bazerk" in the same post.

I was basically trying to defend you but you don't seem to take 'not being noticed' very well. Attention whore.

hey, my English isn't perfect, I know that. but I do my best. I just thought you normally typed out your posts with more punctuation, so I didn't recognise that post as being yours.

I didn't know you'd get so hostile. I heard you were an asshole, but I just never believed it.
