Avatars

[Klitzy]

Maybe I am just stupid, but I can't figure out how to get an avatar. Anyone else having the same problem?

[wildey]

yeah i have the same prob. maybe its on there "to do" list of things to fix

[shanehensley]

Avatars are disabled at the time being. Things are still being worked out, but this is something that will probabaly be enabled in the near future. Thanks for the input.

-ShaneThanks for the update



in the spirit of Token's love for necroposting. :D

[tokenuser]

Yeah ... thanks for that :)

Irony is that the avatars were playing up a week or so back for people uploading new ones.

[apocxp]

Good thing I haven't tried to set an avatar for myself now. :p

[chuckles]

Yeah ... thanks for that :)

We only had to re-sacrifice Peter to the ImageMagick gods.. and it is all good again...

-chuckles-

[rabidbadger]

Dang, for a second there I thought Klitzy was back. haha.

[AriaStar]

Unban Klitzy!

[esophagus]

Stop saying that!

[Secret Steve Crumbles]

Stop saying that!
Stop saying stop saying that!

Besides, do you honestly think Klitzy isn't around. Do you?

[rabidbadger]

first hand knowledge: He is NOT. He has grown up, moved beyond, and is very happy. Proud of that young man. (but yeah, he would like a second chance as an adult)

[samureye]

Well now that he had the badger seal of approval I can see why he can move on with his life. Some of us aren't so fortunate though.

Unban Kowgod!

[chuckles]

Unban Kowgod!

Not gonna happen.

-chuckles-

[Secret Steve Crumbles]

first hand knowledge: He is NOT. He has grown up, moved beyond, and is very happy. Proud of that young man. (but yeah, he would like a second chance as an adult)So, if I could prove otherwise, what would that mean to you?

[samureye]

Can you ban me in place? I will serve as the vBulletin Martyr.

[esophagus]

So, if I could prove otherwise, what would that mean to you?Klitzy? Is that the secret? ;)

[samureye]

So, if I could prove otherwise, what would that mean to you?

You know, I keep remembering you telling me to ban you from the forums.

"Please, ban me, be a friend."

"seriously, ban me from the forums, I don't wanna be there anymore"

"Sam, please, ban me, I need to stop talking about how much I love Universal Healthcare."

You are still here, but klitzy aint. That scopetech oath must be real potent.

Oh, what were we talking about? Oh yeah. A two year old thread. never mind.

[Guytheninja]

Who is this "klitzy" that you speak of in your fables of yore???

(not the klitzy at the beginning of the thread, the "klitzy" you are discussing)

[samureye]

Just an old member, aligning himself with the Aria/Badger way of life. Warned multiple times for various things, on permaban due to a culmination of things. Legends abound about his rise from the ashes like a Phoenix, but the ones called Gimpbully, Chuckles and the rest of the moderators shall ensure no permabanned user shall return. Of course Aria and Badger are the only ones telling the Legend.

Rumor has it he still lurks the forums in another form, but this has yet to be proven, for revealing himself shall mean banishment yet again.

But I thought if you got banned --- it was for a week or something to that effect.

[samureye]

Permaban = permanent ban.


Usually a banning is less than a week, on few occasions some users need to be shown the door as we lock it behind them and throw away the key.

[Guytheninja]

Wow, now I am really curious of his exploits. :eek:

[samureye]

Again, while I cannot remember specifically what went on, it was a culmination of things. You know, warning after warning after warning.

I think things hit a fever pitch around the whole "we want Diggnation released on the same day" thing, some stuff in private also came into play. But permabans don't happen at the drop of a hat, unless your first post is spam in which case I do perma. I hear Tokenuser tries to rehabilitate such posters.

[phatlip12]

No comment. Crap- I just did.



:D

[Guytheninja]

Oh, I thought Klitzy was "double-secret permabanned" ---

"Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode" (Animal House)

The basic idea is someone gets perma-banned for pulling the most wildly hilarious of pranks. Even the moderators would be rolling in the floor, but you have to enforce the rules. :rolleyes:

To be fair- Klitzy was indeed warned time after time. I know this because I warned him a few times myself as a moderator.

[Guytheninja]

I'm not saying to unban klitzy. I'm just saying it would be hilarious to perma-ban someone for "Animal-House" like reasons.

Of course, obtaining such a double-secret permaban may be doable in theory -- in practice it is most likely impossible.:(

[samureye]

Well, with some things, such as the Diggnation release for all on the same day or being hosted on other sites, personal opinion may very well be in-line with the people causing a ruckus, but we have to act based on how we're instructed, which means throwing whatever you think out the window. Or, people whom you might agree with may just be handling the situation poorly.

[xibalba]

there is an entire thread on the subject of the ban somewhere in general. search for "klitzy banned" and it should come up.

[samureye]

Argh, don't encourage it!

[xibalba]

he will never get unbanned and guy was curious...so no harm done.


Also Slipknot out sold The Game hahah :p

[Guytheninja]

Oh I get it now. Your YMCA picture was quite hilarious btw.

[samureye]

He was first, then the "recount" changed things by 1200 copies. I don't buy that. At least he had 2 #1s and it's #1 in rap. blah!

[xibalba]

The Game was on Leno and wow umm I think he sucked big time might have been due to the fact it was more of a ballad he "sung" than a rap song. I still haven't found a rapper I like besides Snoop.

I suppose ICP could count sorta.

edit: forgot about Ice T

edit2: a couple others I like I forgot about too.

[samureye]

Yeah I saw it. I dunno what that was about. But I am listening to the album right now haha.

This is what you were supposed to hear.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQUSpHQp5H4

And Game sold more than Snoop and Ice Cube's last albums. He's number 2 for a reason, but do people buy CDs anymore? Jeez.

Most new rap sucks IMO.

Nothing beats: Snoop, Dre, Biggie, Tupac the Wu-Tang Clan, Eazy-E & NWA! :)

Eazy E now that is going back.
I used to love Bone thugs N Harmony back then ..still have the east 1999 album.

Also still love Coolio's gangstas paradise.

Not listened to rap since those days however.

[samureye]

You guys are sleeping on Game. Snoop co-signs him, and Dre, who was with Eazy E. It's everything you could want and more! Act now! Supplies are limited!

[xibalba]

I still got Doggystyle on cassette somewhere.

I still own the album this song is from.

Game and Travis Barker! What more do you want?

A song that I believe they lost some fans over.

ICP - Thy Unveiling

Oh, you youngsters...

When I was a kid we had to Rap with giant radios on our shoulders...

[rabidbadger]

I hate myself for liking this song, and not just cause he was handsome and is now one of my fave actors...

I am truly sorry that I necroposted. I have learned my lesson. It will not happen again.

I still love that song.

[rabidbadger]

I still love that song.

Yeah, I just listened to it for the first time in more than 20 years. Amazing they got away with saying some of the stuff back then, (faghag, and the prison rape thing, and pretty much unedited on the radio back then.) but i got no issues with it. Was just the nature of that time, and that society, but It is good that they were actually giving advice and wisdom to the younger kids from their community. as far as I know, rap now not only doesn't to that, but sadly makes heroes out of those who do what they were warning about back then.

also severely embarrassed that I like a few Eminem songs. And even early Kid Rock. But, I'll spare you the vids, though. haha.

but back to the classics... and more handsome (fake) boxing theme, :)

(Odd, Thought I didn't like Rap, but in retrospect I guess I kinda do. haha)

(now stop me before i post "walk this way-Run DMC" and/or early RHCP.

Oddly enough, I wasn't a a big blondie fan until after they faded from the scene. When they were big I was heavily into more punkish stuff. They were "hyped" as punk, but really were more "new wave" ala cars, early Police, Flock of Seaguls, B52s, etc...

I loved all those bands, but they were no Clash or Sex Pistols. Or Even Pretenders... (god the Pretenders were awesome, Saw them open for the Who. Excellent concert.) Hey. They got a new song... Pretty good, too... but can't find it online. Any help?

meanwhile. "bad boys get spanked" from the tour I saw them on, Drummer is amazing.
