lol. like I said, L&R is gold.

you could always post a story about using your computer skills to try and get friendly with girl, get rejected by girl, somehow score an evening with girl, then, then things get toasty after she suggests watching some of your porn, throw in some anime tentacle porn to "turn her on," and proceed to ask ATOT why she would be wierded-out by your classy, top grade taste in "porn."

you wouldn't only be official, you would be a legend.

VaporWare MOD

Damn VaporWare mod!

talk about a shitty ban.

btw OP, if you want to get banned, you could include a spoiler in a geekfest thread, like I did with the Dark Knight a few months ago. (though, it's probably more b/c I called the mod a fascist in response to editing my post....)

You used to get banned for abusive language, simply typing "DIAF," threats of any nature, racism and blatant bigotry, overwhelming f-bombs (which used to be censored)....but all of that seems to slide now.

question a mod though, and you're outa here.

Bans simply mean you can't post. You can still read the forums though, log-in, and send and receive PMs (kinda necessary if a dispute is involved). Honestly, that's probably worse than if they would just lock you out of the site for a week.

excessive quoting, spamming...anything that leaves a "mess" will get you banned.
have fun

and spend more time in L&R. It's hilarious. Also check out the Forum issues section (personal esp). See who likes to bitch the most about others and go cry to mommy. Add them to your list

Um, did you really scrutinize the post before replying?

so if you want to become "official," you should learn from this guy. In only 5 months' time, he's made quite a name for himself.

[*]Post an improbable account of a person of interest ripping his/her clothes off, locking you in the bedroom, and running pron tapes on three giant screen TVs in L&R followed by "Do you think she/he likes me?"
[*]Use the "word" pron w/o noticing.
[*]"stick out your left hand" - Is this a rule or a comment?
[*]Be familiar with the following keywords: oldsmoboat's law, RossMAN, Alternator sized Bulk beef, Plane & Treadmill, Syringer, Better nate than lever, HomeBrewerDude's cat, and Dug777, Aircooled's cat, Ducknuts, the butter thread, rate in AC, and cheesecake
