Some forums require flame retardant suits to participate in. nah, I'm not the flouncing type. If I decide not to be here anymore, short of something major happening, I'll just fade out quietly. I just felt that, now that I've seen how some forums operate, that y'all deserved some recognition for being decent hooman beans. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I long for a much more insulting, brutal forum. I know they exist, but I'm lazy and have no ambition. This places cuts me some slack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 On AOL, was room called "Insult The Newbie". So you'd go in, and fifty people would magnificently insult you into oblivion. And you would, individually, insult them all back. And just sit there and wait. For the next guy to come in..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, my buddy contracted out some computer coding to a guy in Pakistan. The guy in Pakistan had never seen an AOL CD like they used to send out in the mail all the time. My buddy shipped him a dozen or two of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I used to participate in DALNET rooms for UNIX, Java and C++ discussions. They started out well, but quickly became a core group of asshats that lived to deem anyone that asked a question to be several steps below an idiot. I always tried to answer the questions, but after a time I got tired of doing everyone's homework in the Java rooms. Now, I'm just an avid Rabbi groupie. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to take every handfull of the AOL CDs from the front of walmarts and supermarkets. They all got target-practiced. Sometimes like skeet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I would change my avatar to that Japanese doll. But, from the neck down. Because her face is creeping me out too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't found anything creepy about your avatar. Looks like a former military guy who is greying gracefully. I guess they don't know the decorum you are used to is never smile for a picture or an ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janice6 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) Good personal time management means that there must be an appropriate time between naps and bed time. Either one has the potential for interfering with the other. Knowing when to do which, is perfected through "aging".
