[QUOTE=Byzantine]I didnt do that.[/QUOTE]

I wasn't citing you and claimed that you did :)

What is a referral and how do you refer someone?

[QUOTE=Byzantine]What is a referral and how do you refer someone?[/QUOTE]
A referal is someone who cites your name when they sign up.

I cited my own name when i signed up with my ban account.

[QUOTE=Jom]
Well, nah, I'm not saying that. If you make a thread, do it. You shouldn't feel like you can't make a thread here. Just be weary of HeavyRiva's wrath when it comes to pseudo-FAs :)[/QUOTE]
Sheesh, there's so much to learn here :(

[QUOTE=Arucard]I cited my own name when i signed up with my ban account.[/QUOTE]
Heh, that's what I did. I wonder if the referral still counts, since my ban account was merged with this one.

You have 2 referals so probobly.

Joe, you dont have any referals though.

Arucard- I did that too. :upset:

So I just got back from Boston, which I really thought was a great city. I'm seriously considering going to BU now.

What did you like about Boston? I was there when I was 3, and it was pretty wicked. I got to ride in some girl's Barbi motorized plastic car thing. :cool:

Maybe that was Baltimore. I can never differentiate between the two, because they're both cities that start with B, and they're both in states that start with M.

So I haven't been around here in a while due to vacations and whatnot. Anyway, what's up with all the unofficial FA type threads?

The key difference for me is that Baltimore sucks and Boston is great.

/would respond more, but AIM convo is covering this

I live about 45 minutes from Baltimore :cool:

Steerpike started everything with his spotlights, then after that, it seemed like everyone just sort of jumped on the bandwagon. There are quite a few good ones, like Steerpike's and Lunch's, but there are starting to be repeat bands and stuff, so it's really getting quite overdone, despite good intentions.

[QUOTE=Slug]I live about 45 minutes from Baltimore :cool:[/QUOTE]

Yea, well I live about 35 minutes from Baltimore. Take that!

[QUOTE=Lunch]The key difference for me is that Baltimore sucks and Boston is great.

/would respond more, but AIM convo is covering this[/QUOTE]


Hmm, I remember having AIM...

I just remember the traffic being miserable. Besides that I think it was cool There are a million great colleges in and around there, I never thought of it as a college town though

EDIT: So if I have a refferal, it means that someone I know signed up and put my name into something?

Yeah, when I left, the only one I noticed was Steerpike's. Now there's like 10 different series that I've seen. I give it less than two weeks before "series" threads are outlawed, which would be a shame if that included Riva's threads.

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]So if I have a refferal, it means that someone I know signed up and put my name into something?[/QUOTE]
Yes, sir.

That's not really a series though. It's a weekly summary of what's gone in that week pertaining to R&M. Maybe instead of people creating their own series, they could just write FAs? :eek:

[QUOTE=halfdeadhippo]


Yes, ma'am.[/QUOTE]

Fixed

I wonder who it could have been...

I'll probably quit when I start school, I anticipate being busy this school year.

It's probably a combination of the fame associated with having your own series, and the waiting list for the official FA's that makes people want to take matters into their own hands.

:eek:

Porcupine Tree

MON. SEP. 26
$20.00
Just Announced

These series are well written and helpful, I dont see why they would be outlawed especially now we finally got some underground metal ones. [B]NJMetalMeister's[/B] is awesome, introduced me to many high quality obscure bands. Same with [B]Freezing Moon[/B] who has uploaded many albums including the incredible THORNS s/t. [B]the2stranger[/B] is making a decent effort (solefald thread) too.

/starves for underground metal :D

It's been on their site for a while Chris. They're gonna be in Portland on Oct. 18th, and I'm dying to go. :D

Jake, yeah, I have your file still. Hehe...

On the subject of series', it's just becoming a bit silly now, that we have at least 10 distinct series threads. I think I actually had a big hand in this trend too, with my "MNM" and my "DIY: Good Threads" threads.

Basically, I'm not that wrathful, unless someone infringes on the bounds of FAs, which people have patiently waited in queue to do.

If you want to do a write-up, just talk to Med and ask him if it is already covered by an FA. If it is, you can still make the thread, just keep it succinct, to avoid trampling someone's toes.

[QUOTE=Lunch]So I just got back from Boston, which I really thought was a great city. I'm seriously considering going to BU now.[/QUOTE]

You were in Boston? wpah, maybe I saw you.

I also have a few buddies at BU. I think they might be gone by the time you go there (if you go there, that is).

Also, Med, Chicago is better than New York

/hometown-whoring

Hometown whoring eh? Well my hometown is better than yours. Grand Forks, North Dakota > Chicago, Illinois

Waldorf, Maryland > everywhere else in the world

Wellsburg, WV > ...oh wait, nevermind :upset:

So it's 11:11, I have the munchies, and my fridge is broke. Late night McDonalds run?

I thought my ELO thread was pretty good.

It's the only one I'll ever do, even though I put a #1 at the end.

Today was awesome. We left early for Kennywood park, but it was too hot, so we left in the afternoon, planning to cool off. However, my entire family got sick from the heat except me. I've always had a strong ability to resist temperature.

Anyway, around 7 PM, I went back to the park myself since I'm leaving for college soon, and I wanted to live it up with everything my hometown can offer.

For some reason, being by myself really let me do what I wanted to. I got on most of the rides, but the two best were The Exterminator and The Pirate.

The Exterminator is a coaster completely enclosed in a building. It's a steel wild mouse coaster that simulates a power plant taken over by giant rats. Since they won't let you ride solo, I got partnered up with other small groups, and I shamelessly over-acted. Much to the delight of my ridemates.

"Don't eat me, giant rat! Eat this one!" (pointing to the person next to me)
"We're all gonna diiiee!"
"OW!" (in response to the animatronic "exterminators" firing on the giant rats)

I then proceeded to do the same on The Pirate, which is a swinging ship ride that looks like a pirate ship. At the top of each arc, I would try to get the passengers into a screaming contest. With all my vocal training, I had the edge. I was able to yell and shout my lungs out with very little effort on my throat's part. Whenever one side wasn't responding, I kept taunting and goading them to do better. And if they still hadn't responded by the time the ride was over, I'd just shake my head and yell at all of them, "You're all such a disappointment."

It's a shame none of the young ladies there were single, because they all thought I was a scream. The biggest reaction I got was on my last ride when I broke into a maniacal falsetto cackle complete with overly dramatic gestures and facial expression. The women were practically falling over each other laughing their [size=2]a[/size]sses off. Interestingly, my cackling got everyone else on the ride into it, and people started screaming back and forth with the swing of the ride trying to outdo each other. Several of the other guys even tried to mimic my cackling, but couldn't do it without breaking into real laughter.

At the end of the ride, I always had at least a couple people asking me how I could scream like that and still have a normal speaking voice afterward.

It felt d[size=2]a[/size]mn good to be the center of attention like that.

[QUOTE=jpj]Wellsburg, WV > Jake's hometown [/QUOTE]

Dammit. :upset:

So for dinner, I had left over crepes, a left over twice(or would it be thrice?) back potato, and some iced tea.

[QUOTE=Steerpike]/adventure in theme park[/quote]

That sounds fun. I like doing that, but usually my friends are too embarassed to do anything like that.

[QUOTE=Steerpike]It felt d[size=2]a[/size]mn good to be the center of attention like that.[/QUOTE]
I try to avoid being the center of attention whenever possible.

Being the center of attention is fun, but doing that at Kennywood would be kinda weird for me. Congrats on having fun Steerpike :)

[QUOTE=Kage]I try to avoid being the center of attention whenever possible.[/QUOTE]

It's kind of fun to be in the center of attention for a while.

Nice way to pick up chicks too, cos they know you're outgoing and fun.

[QUOTE=Slug]So it's 11:11, I have the munchies, and my fridge is broke. Late night McDonalds run?[/QUOTE]

I did that earlier. I highly recommend it.
