They cost $8.95, and they rotate for a month. It would be a good way to bring more people into the community, as I know there are a lot of fans of David and Mr. Show. As long as the ad is not obnoxious they should be a pretty respectful and intelligent crew, barring the occasional bad apple.

EDIT: Also who would you pick for a moderator? Me or tjamick? (Inside tip: I heard tjamick is fat. Just something to consider.)

Yeah, but I heard a rumor that The Captain is a gay.

You know what we should do? We should all start posting stupid, annoying shit over there and put links to THIS forum in our posts! That would work, wouldn't it?

Please 3v3 this forum is a place for serious discussion only. All jocularity must be kept in the Jokes forum.

See I'd be a kickass mod I just turned my back on my friend and let the power completely go to my head!

FACT- "captain" planet is not really a captian, in fact he has no real military history.

FACT- in 1968 tjamick was knee deep in a rice patty killing gooks for america. where was cptplanet? smoking the mary-jane at a sodomy party in san fransisco.

FACT- cpt planet declares his allegaince to known muslim fundemantalist groups.

FACT- tjamick only swears allegaince to christian fundementalist organizations.


Vote for tj, he's thecoolest guy in the world

vote-for-tj, he's okay protecting the u-s-a, go tj!

agent_PUNT? More like AGENT OF COMMUNISM!

Agent of Communism? More like Agent of Commu-JISM!


You can be the Ralph Nader to me and tjamick's Bush/Gore. I get to be Bush since (spoiler alert!) he actually won the 2000 election.

Can I run on the Prohibition ticket?

P.S. SA forums suck. We don't want all those suck monkeys over here. the only funny thing about those forums is that whenever Lowtax makes a post about 500 people will reply with "i agree" and "lol yuo the man loqwtax".

i have a couple good ideas for banners, such as one with bob saying "this summer, america will blow up the moon, then the site logo, and then show people saying things such as "since i went to blowupthemoon.com, my baby doesnt cry anymore." , "with blowupthemoon.com, the checks come straight to my front door, and i dont even have to leave my house!", and "thanks to blowupthemoon.com my AIDS is gone!"

Yeah the Lowtax asskissing is pretty fucking stupid, but that's mainly GBS'ers who think that SA is the end-all be-all pinnacle of the internet. They wouldn't visit a different forum anyway just because "it's not SA". There actually are some cool cats over there. I think you're bitter because you tried to shave your testicles and wound up infertile and maybe you also got banned for some arbitrary bullshit, which does happen quite a bit over there.

yeah, that's a good point about the fanboys probably not caring enough to venture off the site. There are some decent posters over there. And I'll have you know my infertility stems from a lawn dart accident thank you very much.

somethingawful.com. A humor site with a very active community. Something like 33,000 members. They spawn a lot of popular internet catchphrases and phenomena. ("All your base are belong to us.")

they charge you like 10 bucks to join, i think its a waste of money, there are plenty of other good FREE boards on the web to use.

SA is well worth the $10 (us).

Definitely worth it. As long as you read the rules and don't go off half cocked and get yourself banned.

Why do you have to pay?

CptPlanet
06-10-2004, 06:16 PM
A) To offset the bandwidth bills for a forum with over 30,000 members. It runs above 10TB/mo. if memory serves.

B) To keep out spammers, 10 year olds, and other riff-raff.

and tj: The admins can be a little dickish sometimes but it's still worth the 10 bucks.

tjamick

well in that case, next time i have 10 bucks i'll buy some ciggarettes, but the time after that, i might just join the site.

Tip: some gas stations have a 2-for-1 deal on certain varieties of camels. Imagine: 4 packs for the price of 2!

dear tjamick

SA is worth more than two packs of camels. Once you join you'll know why. The admins are not nazis. Just follow the simple rules and you won't be banned. eg of rule... don't post "hey first post on page 4". I can live with that for all I get back and the site doesn't cause lung cancer.


ps cigarettes cost $27 a pack in Canada
