Um, what is with the Rama bashing? Yeah THIS board hasn't been around for 8 years... but the whole UP boards thing has been at least around for 6 (when I started posting - remembering replying to Identity Crisis about the FC ships!) Rama was there then - and a lot were. A lot who are here now, weren't. Just chill people. We all come and go. Although a lot of us come more than we go. OK that didn't sound right. You know what I mean.
*peace out*! LOL!

um, Hitler was on Earth before any of us, so does that mean we can't bash him? i'm not saying that RAMA is Hitler, but he was doing some pretty irritating shit.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
For the record, unless I'm greatly mistaken, the original UP board began its existence approximately 5.5 years ago. Maybe slightly less than that.

I would like to know where you, Andrew, get your uppers and speed. It's like in superconcentrated form.

I was not aware that ST5 featured the first use of the phrase "for the record" ever anywhere by anybody in the history of the universe. Ever.

I'm not sure why people seem to be under the impression that attacking individuals is acceptable. Its quite clearly stated in the forum registration process that it is not acceptable behaviour.
Posted by Mucus (Member # 24) on :
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that we have a "flameboard" and we are called the "Flare Sci-Fi Forums". A certain amount of flaming is to be expected...subliminal messaging of a sort? Just a thought.

Hmm yes, I thought it was rather odd that I was met with such a reaction after some good natured posts (even the Wolf 359 one was meant to be positive, ie: Trek tech being cooler than ever). It just occurred to me a few minutes ago that it may have seemed I made my first post in order to post pics, when I really have just been posting the link lately because the page was updated(and I couldn't update my profile at all). I see people here do that all the time (yes I have lurked once in a blue moon). I think some people may have gotten a bit jealous. Its not a big enough issue to continue on with, so let the tech talk commence!

Subliminal. Maybe. However the flameboard is for the flaming of issues, not for the bashing of people.

Umm..Hitler? So is this where we stop taking seriously anyone espousing spurious fallacies?

For anyone who needs a little refresher on the registration agreement, please reread it. Log out of Flare and then click register. Enter a birthdate that will make you older than 13, and you'll be taken the agreement.
Here's the pertinent section of the agreement that you all have read and agreed to that Charles, Daryus, and others have been bringing up (the bolding is mine):
quote:You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this board to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any internationally recognized law.

Good. I would hate to be inaccurate, or otherwise in violation of international law.

He's looking down and sad. And you are smiling! I sense an impotence joke!
That was the worst directory ever.
Posted by RAMAGNUS PYM (Member # 239) on :
Everyone should stop posting altogether now.

I am happy.

You have the demon eyes! And good teeth.

He is a sexy boy toy!
At least he was, until he got fat.
Posted by The_Tom (Member # 38) on :
I'd forgotten how sexy he looked. And those deep brown eyes of his...
Posted by RAMAGNUS PYM (Member # 239) on :
And to think, you saw him in the flesh. All of it. Which is a lot. Because he is fat.
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
I was less fat then. Now, I am. And gym bound!

Poor Jim, I barely got to know him....

Liam is of larger volume than I am. I hereby claim victory. But, then, victory over this is hardly worth having, isn't it?
Posted by Ritten (Member # 417) on :
Doesn't look too impressed with the photographer now...
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
Are any of these other people in any of these pics anyone else off the boards?
Posted by Vogon Poet (Member # 393) on :
Is that a cream-coloured v-necked Ben Sherman long-sleeved T-shirt there? Because I have one just like it. The horror. . .
Posted by The359 (Member # 37) on :
I'm surrounded by ugly psychos....
erm, I mean... Posted by LOA (Member # 49) on :
Ooh, Ooh! Pictures!!! FUN! Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
Lee: Yes. Although it's more a jumper than a t-shirt, surely?
I do have some pictures of me, Lee, and the absent Monty and sparse Orion Sydicate. But not here. So I can't scan them in. Sorry.
I am less ugly in real life too. Honest. A bit. And I played Squash the other day, so yeah!
Posted by Vogon Poet (Member # 393) on :
So, there you go. Liam's and my dress senses are converging. And he is quite good-looking, in an Essex-Boy sort of way. 8)
Posted by Daryus Aden (Member # 12) on :
You guys are Enrie and Bert, aren't you?
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
Did anyone see Conan O'Brien the other night with their picture of Bert doing the Gay Porn! LOL!
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
No.
Is Lee Ernie, or am I? Because I worry.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
I always got the impression that Bert was older, so I think you might be Ernie.
Then again, which of you is taller?
Posted by Free ThoughtCrime America (Member # 480) on :
Do either of you have a really cone-shaped head? That could help matters greatly.
Posted by Vogon Poet (Member # 393) on :
Liam's head is pointier. But I always preferred Bert. He's got that edge, that sense that he's just this close to giving Ernie a good twatting.
Posted by LOA (Member # 49) on :
Did you just say "twatting"? *LOL* Oh, dear... one of those words I NEVER thought I'd hear in conjunction with Bert and Ernie.... hehehe.... too funny.......
~LOA
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Especially since Bert and Ernie wouldn't have one between the two of them. Being male, and all...
Posted by Free ThoughtCrime America (Member # 480) on :
Well, so is Big Bird, but I don't recall ever seeing any apparatus, if you know what I mean. Which could mean they're all baritone females.

Well - how easy is it to see a bird's genetils!?!
They must have nicknamed him "Big" Bird for SOME reason though! Posted by Vogon Poet (Member # 393) on :
In this context, "twatting" means a good kicking. One of those rather bizarre UK expressions.

Anyone here seen Crank Yankers? The second? episode with that frog that is having sex with that pig - one remarkably looked like Kermit, the other Miss Piggy! Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
"...the two hecklers..."
Statler and Waldorf.
"Anyone here seen Crank Yankers?"
Yes, but I don't want to admit to it. Or think about it, even.
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
Crank Yankers was bloody funny!! You are free to admit you saw it. The addition of the muppets made the show I think. LOL at the ep with the 'hot girl' ringing the computer tech guy and getting all hot/deep breathing/getting off when he was talking tech. Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Prank calls stopped being funny in about fifth grade.
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
So I'd thought... The muppets - I think make it funny. I mean some of the pranks are just stupid. It's the muppets. Having things that are so closely associated with one's youth sitting on a bed getting off on a guy talking about computer tech, to a muppet vomiting continually over the entire hotel room is just... fucked up but funny Can you see this happening on Sesame Street or the Muppets!?!
One of the actual funnier prank calls was the one done by Sarah Silverman (Rain Robinson from Future's End) where she's a telemarketer for the Harpo corporation ringing an Oprah fan. She's chained to the desk. And there is a supervisor and every now and then she's wispering to the horrified 'Oprah Fan' - "They won't let us go" or words to that effect. The reactions of the background muppets are especially funny!
