I've admitted that others have made good points and I could be wrong in the passed. I guess I was wrong when I thought I was dealing with other adults. Have a nice life.

Ya know, not too long ago there was a "PW needs to be banned the next time he derails a thread" movement, but this one is totally awesome.

Yes, We're Total Bastards.
hmmm....how does "Flare Total Bastard Forums" sound?
I recall when I first decided to join, it was springtime and Taft was still in the White House- the country was reeling from the passing of the 16th Amendment (of which I still say is illegal). It was a time of collective anwe'- new states were being added, it seemed daily, and there was a growing concern about the "Irish Problem" at the docks.
Having nothing else to occupy my days besides indulgence in absenthe, collecting my graft and the occasional gathering at the Whitechapel Club, I decided to join this forum: foolishly overlooking the fact that the internet would not exist for some deacdes to come (damn that Marconi- resting on his laurels after recieving the Nobel).
Time passed and the electronic buliten board was created by mutants too freakish to venture out into public- and the seeds of the internet were planted in the fertile soil of pornography and science fiction enthusiast's analysis of the minutae of all things Trek.
Almost as soon as I made my first posting (at the finally mature Flare Forums), I was besieged by the slings and arrows of sarcasm and the verbal barbs that all new members must endure- why, my spelling skills, grammar and even my very name were the subjets of ridicule and scorn.
Yet, I knew that buried beneath the brambles of scorn and ridicule lay a succulent halucenagenic mushroom of acceptance and possibly some sort of discussion on starships as well.

^I still feel like a n00b here sometimes...although, yeah, for all the atmosphere, and Treknical discussions...removing a few kick me signs from my back is totally worth it...

And to Qurras, if he is still reading: this could all have been avoided if you had linked to the pictures directly in your posts, instead of linking your site. If you don't know HTML, just posting the picture URLs would've worked too.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ poiler$
If I know my internet, people would check the pics out, download the prettier ones to their gigantic, protesting image-harddrive(s), and then like that *snap*...they're gone. Of course, the pictures would have to be either new, rare or extremely old pictures for "these" peoples' reptilian brains to react.
If everything worked out perfectly, we would get the ultimate picture thread scenario Views:3300/Downloads:2900/Replies:1*. (*single reply is thread author posting "bump! b-buump! flood the buoy!")
