Have a great night, pal.

I'm not looking for a fight. I thought it was a cool post, but I recall a couple of years ago staff asked us not to post pictures in the forums. It was taxing the system, and it stopped. You are a new member so you don't know. I think it's a good post, but I think you should know that we don't do that anymore. I still think it was funny.

Don't be disingenuous, Smythe. Of course, you're looking for a fight, but not just any fight; you're looking to pick a fight with me. I stand by what I wrote before: go back through this thread, look at all the other images (and video) that people have posted, and tell me why you're calling out me and only me for having posted an image in this thread. Everyone reading this knows the answer, Smythe. So tell us, why aren't you calling out the good Mister Ozark, or LGT, or the Den's own mods — all of whom have posted images in this thread? Tell us.

Forgive me, but, since I saw other people doing it, including the people who are charged with enforcing rules, and since those same mods did not chastise anyone else for doing it, and since the software permits it, and since I see no prohibitions in the FAQ against doing what I did, I assumed that doing what I did was fine. Now, ordinarily, I'd be happy to follow the link that I'm sure you can provide to the section of the FAQ that explains how that which I have done ist verboten, but, unfortunately, I won't be able to do that because I am putting you on "ignore" now.

But, by all means, report me to the mods for my misconduct. I would gladly and happily and deferentially respond to their instructions and correct my alledged misbehavior, if, indeed, I am misbehaving.

Good luck, Smythe, and take care of yourself. I mean that sincerely.

I would never report you to mods for misconduct. Just saying that they told us to cool it with photos.
On another note... I met a member from Yorkshire, England who wants to do the Coast to Coast Walk across England. Met him today, here on this thread. So this thread is pretty darn cool.

It pleases me that you enjoyed it.

Love you avatar, btw.

Hunger City is running beautifully, with new content, and new staff. Electric Ladyland is now back up and running with lots of great torrents.

Get your bets in early!

UPDATE: My rank is back to "user".
The HC tracker is still up.
The HC forum is still down, but their crack staff is working on the problem.

"UPDATE: My rank is back to "user"." I don't understand that at all. You uploaded some great shows, most of which you taped yourself. Very odd for that to happen. I hope you can get uploader status soon.

dear thread full of <pejorative adjective here>

it's because the guy who runs the site is some kind of dishonest megalomaniac wannabe


You guys' pages full of continual surprise reminds me of when women are surprised at getting their period each month. At some point, you should learn to expect it, eh?

[mike1061]

I'd also like to ask, why don't you just up load stuff here. Both of you guys have great stuff.
Thanks
Mike

Frankly, between helping my parents as much as possible during their battles with cancer and the ravages of old age, as well as my quest to see the world, I have no desire to digitize videotape.

Understood. Hope your parents struggles are as peaceful and easy as possible.
