R-E-P-E-C-T Find out what it means for me

[LeeVanCleef]

As I was sitting here in front of the ol' glass pornbox, doing what needed doing to make Saucerful of Secrets even more freaky, my attention was drawn to the gobbledy-gook on the right-hand side; you know, join date, posts, all that nonsense. Oh, and flags which, by the way, don't work anymore! WTF, STEVE? Then my eyes hit on rep points... and I'm sitting at a measly 16! I mean, I've got 618 posts on this site! If you added up the number of all the other posts I've ever made on any internet forums (including VPs old and new) it wouldn't come to half that! And I'm only a 16? I mean, look at Nic, sitting there all fat and happy at 32. Sure, he's been a member of the site longer than I have. He's been a member of the VPF community longer than I have. Then there's all the thankless work he did as admin at VPF. But, really... is he worthy of a 32? And two fucking flags? I think I may have him beat on word count. And really, inside, I feel I'm more of a 34 or a 35. Anyway, I'm assuming that, even at my (temporary) rate of 16 there's some sort of power I wield, however minor. Just tell me how I can use these powers to further our goals. Oh, and let me know what our goals are.
Oh yeah... the 45,000 credits. Is that Bitcoin? I'll take a check. I'm looking at a car.

Dammit man, if it weren't for The Org, we might still be able to sell them off on EBaY.
Big Points!

 

[LeeVanCleef]

A capital idea! And, as you can see, sleepy, you escaped my tirade against "the man", since you start all the cool threads. You've earned those rep points, my son! Hey, while we're on the subject of "the man"... I know I've heard this song a number of times over the years, but I've never really focused on it. Damn, but it's groovy protest!

Compared To What - YouTube

 

[sleepy]

AHA! Compared to What! Heard it on public radio one time 40 years ago I think, and the album title Swiss Movement, which I have erroneously stored in my sweet mind for 40 years as "Swiss Time".

WWRRRONG!

Les McCann could easily pass for Ramsey Lewis with my eyes closed, but Eddie Harris would give it away.

 

[sleepy]

on a different note. You may need to turn up the volume as this recording is a little quiet:

[LeeVanCleef]

I don't know, sleepy... Les really bangs those keys. Lewis seemed more of an "ivory tinkler" than that almost barrelhouse thing Les does. But my knowledge of both is admittedly limited.

 

[sleepy]

Me too, but I sure do appreciate that recording. It is Excellence.

I apologize for the cuss. I had to type "...if the goddamed embed code works..."
just to get it to not fuck up the front page.

I can't help your reputation, ruby, but I could get you on the richest user list, so I did by donating you 43,000 credits.

^ U C wat U done there! :D

oo..er..looky there I have da flags...sweeeet!

In other forum news I haven't had to delete many spambots of late, then again we used to get a lot from the Ukraine, mmmm...?

I'm rich! Rich beyond my wildest dreams! I can buy and sell the lot of you!* Thanks, Shocky! And don't worry about the reputation. No one can help my reputation. BTW, liking the new avatar, Steve. Meet the new boss! (turns out he's just the same as the old boss).



*that is, assuming any and all vendors or other parties with the power to sell and/or buy any of you will accept PN credits.

Those with the flags will be the first to go come the untelevised revolution that sleepy speaks of, Steve! So... no more spambots? Who knew that the one tiny, unauthorized invasion of a sovereign nation would clear up our spambot problems? Thank you, Mother Russia! Now gear up, Putin! Next on the list... Nigeria! We have some emailing princes to take out!

 

[Isaac Sauvage]

i guess i lost it in the shuffle... what was the story of yon flags? still not available?

 

[LeeVanCleef]

LOL! I stumbled into my user settings for the first time in, what I assume, is awhile (my email address was the hotmail account I haven't checked in about six years). Then I halfheartedly tried to add some flags, but the dropdown menus were empty. So I'm assuming that they're not working. Doesn't really matter, anyway. I couldn't find one for the United Federation of Planets, which is the only organized government I'll pledge allegiance to.

 

[LeeVanCleef]

If Phoenixxx were still a mod here, he would have made sure that flag was added. Of course, he would have permanently banned all of us years ago.

 

[Isaac Sauvage]

"edit your details", "additional information"... and both flag types are empty lists? (whuchu talkin bout, bruce willis?)

steve, do you have the answers to this confounding mystery?

Ehhh... rep power of 33. I wouldn't count on miracles. But we apparently could send him a message via ICQ. Is that still a thing? Someone just needs to spam the hell out of him via ICQ. I think I can order someone with lesser Rep points to do it, can't I? Coil Smoke! ICQ! Steve! Get busy!

 

[Isaac Sauvage]

you are loved, bill... you are loved. the size of your 16 rep is not factor in that. :)

but hey! have a bag of cheetohs and check out this new show... it's about a small group of friends trying to hang on in the turbulent post-depression years:

REICH FRIENDS (Una serie del Tercer Reich) - YouTube

 

[StevOz]

Alright already, looked at it and it looked alright to me, so I re-saved the flag options, don't know if that will do it, otherwise I have no clue.

Am I missing something?

See attached...

 

[StevOz]

Ah, ICQ, have not used that or AIM in years, also this rep deal, I'm sure now that it just refers to general rep, as Mr Shockman trumps us all at 50! Then again maybe it's because he gave all his credits away?

 

[Coil_Smoke]

Maybe They "Came" Over here ?

My credits have mysteriously skyrocketed and are ready to ejaculate !

Yea C_S. I thought you were working on your banking.
