Curious of age's here

It annoys me more when people spell things incorrectly as "text speak", but the words they are supposed to be shortening, are the same fucking length of characters :lol: like "cee yoo 2omorrow"... *sigh*

:lol: yeah, and even worse again when they shorten emails too the same way! We get those at work every so often.. it's like "you're not paying per character dumbshit, learn to spell!"
 
and guys, maybe zach, you're pretty much the only forumer left from the time i first came here, but anyone remember shreddy? he was 13 when he was posting on here, but highly advanced for his years.. he is all grown up now and turned out to be such a talented guy! not that ive talked to him in years..

I remember Shreddy quite well! That guy was awesome. He still has the same msn name as back then too, signs on every now and then. I hit him up about a year back and it seems like he remembered us haha.

that guy was a badass though.
 
Do I remember Shreddy? I might, because I think I joined near when you guys did and lurked for a while.

While we're having the "forum reminiscing" time, remember when someone dug up the continuing story thread where the Prog and Power metallers defeated the Black and Death metallers and went to Times Square to take on MTV? I wonder if that still exists.
 
What happened to that kid who made those funny ass stories but got really boring after about 5 posts.. Horus has a quote from one of his posts in his sig I think? It was just the most randomest crap ever but he made it all connect with each other and made it really funny.. like giant paragraphs.


Elven shadows, you are not 65. The fact that you have Guilty Gear under your name gives you away. BTW, I will own your ass at that game with Potemkin, Ky Kiske, and Millia Rage.
 
shame... I'm very quickly progressing into the realm of Jazz-fusion, but I'll always have room for bands like Symphony X...

For me, my own personal progression in musical taste is in a way a curse. I get bored with stuff after a while, and I always have to find something more complicated to keep my mind interested. Symphony X was that band for a long time. At the moment its stuff like Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, which has its complexity in more abstract elements rather than the standard rhythm/melody. As I get older I'm constantly plunging deeper into the rabbit hole, trying desperately to find stuff that my brain finds new and interesting. Luckily the rabbit hole isn't so much of a hole, as it extends in various directions :).

I don't think most people are like that from what I've seen. Most seem to settle on a certain style after a while.
 
I think I have a total of about 4000 posts in internet forums everywhere, but I've never gotten banned. I did get one warning though, which was because I was joking about scientology in a scientology thread... Unfair, don't you think?
 
Idk man.. I don't think that is really something to be proud of. 7000 posts? Its quality, not quantity.

I got banned once on a forum called shoryuken over a mod telling me not to troll.. seriously when you tell someone not to troll isn't that trolling in itself? I told him to fuck off and to add something to the conversation or don't post at all... turned out he was a MOD. It was for a week and after that week I pmed him about it and when I asked for an Admin's SN (this forum is huge and it doesn't say whos an admin or mod) he banned me for a year. Luckily I have friends in high places and got another Admin to unban me. That shit was so stupid.
