I... I have an iPhone in my pocket. Would that do?

If you have enough for everyone. :colbert:

The joke is that during the rampant "Free iPod!" pyramid-scheme days of the Internet, this forum would have several new members a day signing up to solicit more people with the promise of a "free iPod" so that they can earn their free iPod themselves. It became synonymous with drive-by posters and spammers.

Your lack of obvious motivation for signing up other than to promote the music mentioned in your username is triggering our spidey sense. Your responses have been encouraging though.

Olds has a law, and now I has a law too: No legitimate poster ever joins with a "Hi, I'm new!" post.

I can win your heart if you believe in me! My music is the most important thing to me, so I try to lead with that whenever I meet new people. Don't get me wrong, I'd love you to listen to all of it, but I'm not going to spam the forum with links.

Whew, that takes care of everybody. Next time I'll try to group them all in one reply. Will check back again soon!

I'm back! And feeding trolls!

You will do well if you are not an alt/returning banned member. You seem to get it.

People still ride my tail and in reality I am a pretty nice guy when someone is in need.

I am opinionated, but usually objective / un-biased as best as I can be and I have a vast education to pull from.

What's TH thread, precious? I'm a noob, remember, acronyms are beyond me.

May I introduce you to the multi-quote feature first of all?
It's really fantastic.

As for the TH-thing.... it wouldn't be a test if you went in prepared. Just know, the day of judgment will come.

Alky?! Due to mod edict, he probably won't insult your mother like he used to do to everyone, but he's still probably going to make you regret saying that.

The only people that regret me are those that trolled me or others in their times of need or are just being dicks every chance they get.

I am an OG onliner where we actually traveled and met up in the past when the internet thing started and in the BBS days just got together every so often.

People then would try to troll with things like "just kill that dumb animal" or "you can steal that easy" and instead of agreeing the masses said "WTF!"

TexasHiker. Another infamous user.
It's cool. I expect my mother to be insulted whenever I'm spending time on the internet.
Sup?

Not an alt. Pretty easy going in general, thick skinned on the internet.
