I use them to get hold of Nitram when I'm at work.
Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

Once every couple of weeks; usually just random stuff, sometimes related to a current thread.
OT-- Chess tournament?! I never knew anything about a chess tournament! If another one arises, let me know.

A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

Twice, ever. Once of which I forget the contents of, but it scared me the hell off the board for two years so whatever it was, it must have been really scary.
I feel lonely now.
Luckily, once my large capacity for inane comments results in universal, continuous sigging from every person, I will have subsumed into the whole and then the world will be mine!

I only get PM's when Rogue Ice is bored. 
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

I usually only get about 1 unsolicited PM a month and then tack on one or two replies to PMs I send out. Generally I use it to talk about things with people I trust but would rather send it here than bother going through e-mail. So realistically I bet I've averaged about 3-4/month max.

If you care to, a difibulator and 85 meteric tons of smelling salts might be sufficent to revive it. Or not.

Hardly ever. Every 6 months or so there'll be a short PM exchange with some one and then that's it.

Hahah, no, I think they eventually gave up asking me. I'd always redirect them to fgalshroom anyway because I didn't have the text from the original ACPATHNTDWATGODW craziness handy and he did.2000AD wrote:Not so many people asking about ACPATHNTDWATGODW anymore then![]()

And congrats, you're the first to notice! It was bestowed upon me last night.

I've sent one to Durandal reguarding where I'm going to school, and a responce from him, and then one from some other person about a remark I made that Hillary Clinton couldn't win in '08. So that's 1 sent and 2 received.
