Wedge · Apr 30, 2003, 11:32 PM

digitalwanderer · May 1, 2003, 12:30 AM

Are yea the same "Wedge" I knew from me puppy days at RU?

DrBeltway · May 1, 2003, 12:57 AM

I know how it is, but buck up... It doesn't take long, as you can see from my post count...

Wedge · May 1, 2003, 01:27 AM

wow, thanks for giving me ANOTHER reason to POST! DigitalWanderer, I dunno prolly, I've had this handle forever and a day and I visit prettymuch everywhere

welcome to the board, wedge..

at least you're trying to make an effort to make proper
posts than someone has (*coughcoolzonecough*) and
spam messages found in the quick-links.

Falstaff · May 1, 2003, 01:49 AM

There are so many forums dont let someone elses post count bother you either,
1 you tech oriented?
2. got windows problems?
3. political opinions..
4. like to tell joke and bash folks in the flaming warzone?
5. web design, make avatars? got advice, etc etc...
6. so much to offer here man, you gotta look around...
7. got extra cash and like to throw it around....Zardon might like some...who knows, you might get a huge AVATAR...money talks, and well....poor folks walk.....ha ha (just kidding)
give every forum a shot...who knows...but under no circumstances criticize a mod.....they circle the wagons then...and look out, ha ha...

fallang im getting really irritated about your continual comments regarding money, no one is FORCED to donate. and i DONT get the money, it goes to server hosting on a 1 terrabyte a month website. jesus you would think you donated $1000 the way you talk and I went out and spent the money on wild women or something.

my avatar is larger because I want it to be, think of it as an "owner perk".

enough of this, welcome wedge. you will find that not everyone is as bitter and twisted as fallang jeff. we have alot of people willing to help and offer advice.

Mystik · May 1, 2003, 02:00 AM

hey zardon..
where's your avatar and sig from anyway?

is it another one of your works?

i don't believe i've seen that creature before..

Yeah, servers are anything but cheap, not to mention Driverheaven's rapid success, the whole ordeal is a serious hassle thats not to be made fun of.

drwright · May 1, 2003, 09:26 AM

I know what you mean Wedge, I lurk and read posts everywhere but don't want to clog the forums with my any inane chatter and now I suffer for it!

digitalwanderer · May 1, 2003, 09:50 AM

What kind of system are you running right now?

Danka, I've been lurking in the background for quite some time, got a nice get-up running here

I'll have to make it a point to visit and comment more often now with such the warm welcome.

lol you actually remember that? I'm impressed, most impressed. Anyways, I've only got two more shameless posts to make before I qualify for the minimum post count, and I really do appreciate the warm welcome

~~WyreTheWolf~~ · May 2, 2003, 03:24 AM

Welcome to DriverHeaven Wedge! Please stay as long as you like, and enjoy your stay. Dont forget that once you have 10 posts you are eligable to enter the Radeon 9800 Pro giveawawy!

ToshiroOC · May 2, 2003, 03:27 AM

3 posts in a row, eh? I'm going to reply with a litany of smilie faces, then stick my post in here so your next two posts won't make 5 in a row

I hope you post more! It never hurts the community to have a few extra posts now and then, and don't worry if you think its just inane chatter like drwright - we aren't so serious here that we can't appreciate some 'o that

(pssst, same goes for you drwright

I fully agree!

Do a search for my posts and you will find countless more examples of that irritating behavior...
