hey i already told u that i wasnt going before and i wasnt convienced to go by her flirting i got to know her as a friend and thats why im going
I also agree with shartley.
im not sure but i think spazz may have decided to go during this time as well
Man,I feel sorry for you shartley,you have mised the point completely!We are all just mesing around and having fun!It has been stated as such many times not to be taken seriously,were you like abandoned as a child?;)
Everything in this thread is supposed to be taken with a grain of salt,now you've probably scared away everyone who was ENJOYING this thread.Don't like it?Complain to Tom,not us,we certainly can't and won't do anything.
If Tom comes on and says"Ok guys,time to stop having fun,go back to your humdrum day and have 0 fun on onr of the best forums out there!"THEN,and only then,will we stop.You as a mod can get me booted,you can close this thread,but I bet dollars to doughnuts,you will lose lots(not all of course)trafic.
I mod over on other forums(one other),I try to keep major opinions of mine out of these kind of threads.
And,like my comments earlier,I don't think we broke any rules considering we are not taking this seriously,like others are I guess.
And I reitterate my point IF TOM WANTS TO GIVE TDS A MAG FOR ANY REASON HE SEE'S FIT THEN THERE'S nothing ANYONE can do to change that!
And thats all I have to say about that..............
heh i was going to post that i didnt think u were or atleast it didnt say so at the top of the forum ;)
Tom,
Wow! I don't know what to say. That was a very generous offer, Thank you very much! You've gone out of your way to make me feel welcomed on the board, and I appreciate it. You are too kewl!!! 1000 posts here I come. :D
Hey Everyone,
Please don't argue . I think everyone got their points across very well, and I don't want anyone fighting or being upset with anyone else.
BTW, I never flirted with the owner.
No. But why does it have to be the ONLY reason, or even a direct reason? It is HELPING maintain interest. If interest is maintained more people will end up going. How many, I don't know.Quote:

Do you suppose that certain members of this forum are worried that a woman (2DS) is better equipped than they are?
yea I dont have the boob equipment, and t hus i am jelious :rolleyes:
I'll be one of the first ones to congratulate 2DS if she gets the rtpro & I'll mean it, too.
But, I don't approve of the way TK is handling this. (I'm using myself as an example because I'd rather use me & get the factsright, than not.)
How come I didn't get an rtpro for encouraging AO to give DianaL on Shatner's forum, kind words when she was having tough times? Or for (as far as I saw) being the only person who posted a "Thank-you" thread for our soldiers, past & present, on Memorial Day? How come Army, Shartley, Oldsolider, Dansim etc. didn't get one for serving our country, which in IMO deserve far more than any of us could ever give?
Why?
Don't get me wrong, 2ds is cool, & fun to chat w/, but... well, ya know.
Shartley,
Bottomline is that I think it is helping maintain interest, you do not. It appears that I'm not going to convince you are not going to convince me. I guess we can just agree to disagree. :D
hey guys lets try not to make this a presonal issue we dont need to attack another person to prove our point if u have to do that then u dont belong here try to keep this opinions and not insults :(
well like ive said many times before to many people if it offends you dont reed it
just trying to keep things on the right level :)
I'm trying to figure out what the big deal is about this thread, and if I should get in on it. Can this many pages be wrong?
:rolleyes:
Brings new meaning to the term post whore.
It's a fun thread trying to convince a cute trekkie to convert over to Borg(AO at Shatnerball).
Then this became a purely fun thread talkin about her butt in a grass skirt(she's Hawaiian),dirty old men,young boys in love with each other,loaning gear,now some mods are upset because Tom(president of AGD)said he'd give TDS an RT Pro if we get to 1000 posta with no spam.
The woman in question among other peeps,has stated MANY times that nothing in this thread should be taken seriously,and she doesn't mind the "flirting" these guys are sometimes doin.Frankly if you don't join the thread,you will be missing out IMO.Read the whole thread if you have time.I wasn't coming here(to AO) much before this thread.I have given the trekkie in question some advice from my 12 years of playing,and we all convinced her to try the game before Augusr.She has gone twice now and regales us with her battle stories,highly enjoyable.
hey warped just to make things clear there not mods there just people who post a lot not that theres any thing wrong with that i do the same :)
Neither Army, BlackVCG, cphilip, Rob_AGD, Webmaster nor Miscue or even TheAngelGuy.com have commented on the RTPro giveaway.
If I start a thread and flirt with people for 1000 posts can I have one too? :rolleyes:
thanks pot boy thats what iwas trying to say just didnt come out too clear ;)
Good luck, tater tot.Quote:

I thought shartley was a mod here,guess not,my bad.
I will point out again NO MODERATORS HAVE COMMENTED ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!
OK... so I will comment then!
I go away for one week and come back to find that the she beast has worked her whiles on the Boss eh? And has us fighting amongst ourselves. How clever of her to take advantage of my distance and distraction to cast her evil spell on Tom and the members! I don't know whether to admire her or condem her. Oh how evil the she beast of Shatnarism is! But I am back now and will smite her down! ;)
(ps: no comment on the giveaway. Not my area of concern. I hope all of you get an RT Pro!)
Ok,I have stayed out of this thusfar but after the above comment I have to say something. Yvonnie is a sweet person and I consider her my friend. If she wants to be open and friendly here (which she is being) I dont see anything wrong with it. No one has to respond but it seems many many members have. Some of the comments made towards her have been crude and immature and still she keeps her good humor about it and lets it slide. Most members have been supportive of her and have been kind in offering equipment and advice. Tom Kaye is being supportive too. Yvonnie has become a player now. Isn't that a good thing? She has said nothing innapropriate in this thread. Others did in my opinion (see the quote above as one example) So can we stop the insinuation that TDS is just here to flirt. I am happy for her that she has discovered a new game that she enjoys. And if the above quote was directed at TDS I think an apology is owed her. If it isnt meant for her I think that it should be cleared up exactly who it was meant for.Quote:

yes i agree with cope we need to express our opinions with out insulting people i thought the people here were grown up enough to just comment on the topic with out insulting someone but i guess i was wrong :(

That can easily be debated. Inappropriate from a Shatner Forum stand, or one of AO Rules?
I never once insinuated that TDS was just here to flirt.. I openly state so.
I think I can say that we all feel the same way. But that has little to do with the issue at hand. Sorry.
How many OTHER threads does TDS contribute to? How many OTHER discussions does TDS contribute to? And just because SHE may be friendly, and SHE does not mind something, does not mean it is accepted by the rest of the membership, or even the rules. How many of the posts in this thread (to include HERS) contain sexual innuendos? I can tell you that quite a few members found this thread inappropriate. The simple fact that they did not POST saying so does not mean it was not so.
You notice MY absence from this thread for the most part, I am sure. And I post often in most of the larger threads. Wonder why not this one? Think about it…. [/QUOTE
You seem to be attacking Yvonnies character. I know she is a good person who is not just here to flirt and that is enough for me. I actually have had interaction with her where I was not making comments on her anatomy like many have here. If she broke any rules here I am sure a moderator would have deleted some of her posts,closed the thread or banned her outright. By the way she has a great sense of humor. She is not a cynic. Maybe that is why she enjoys interacting so much. You are a great lady Yvonnie. Don't stop being yourself! I have said enough. I am through. I am proud to be her friend.:D
By the way ,look at some of the past threads. She has contributed to several. I thought we are free to choose to post on whatever threads we choose. I didnt know there was a required minimum.

yup just keep making that post count go up :D

I'm here because I enjoy talking to everyone. I'm not here to flirt but have done so and am not ashamed of it. It was all in fun and everyone I talked too knows that. If I wasn't interested in paintball, this thread would've died a long time ago.
Everyone has their own opinions and that's kewl. I'm not upset and I sincerely hope no one else is either. Some of the things said about me did kind've hurt my feelings, but the members who made those comments don't know me.
No one knows why Tom made the offer, but I'm sure he never intended for this too happen. I'd like to appologize to him and everyone else who is having a hard time with this.
The offer was really sweet, but I'd like to decline.
Cope,
Thank you so much, you made me feel much better! I'm glad we're friends too!

I think it's time for a throw down! :D
:rolleyes: oH no...she gonna kick my old tired behind I am afraid...
Flirting? Well yes there was a bit much of that on this one but it was kind of the nature of the thread...seduction of two sides to each others side I thought was kind of how it evolved and was intended too. Not that anyone origianly intended it to... it just fell into place. I certainly was never of the mind set anyone was serious. And at times I tried to return it to another level or two. And did several times with TDS's help.
Most of you may not realize that I and TSD and a few other of their memebers have discussed directions of this thread and how to spice it up a bit at times. When it was getting to lovey dovey I attacked and they attacked back. I am very sorry if anyone was offended and took anything seriously. I will admit it was on the edge many times. But I thought it was fun and in the spirit of trekkie vs. borg conflict using seduction and things like that to play out the whole story. Again I apologise if any of you felt it went too far. Perhaps it did at times... I'll try and do a better job of keeping it a bit more to the center from now on. OK?
Tom... how was I to know the anti-TDS force field was not strong enought to go only a few hundred miles away? You poor slob you! (j/k)
Hey screw that TDS! You take that sucker in the spirit it was offered by Tom. One of the nicest markers out there by the way. Anyone is free to express his or her opinion about it but that has nothing to do with your accepting Toms gift. Tom is a very generous guy and he has a right to give anyone anything he wants to. Don't take anything a few might see differently and express their opionions as directed at you personaly. I know these guys who are playing the antagonists and they have nothing against you at all. In fact they are our resident antagonsists. Thats their job. But as I see it...Tom did not "offer" he proclaimed. YOU WILL ACCEPT. Sorry ;)
HEY! It's the INTERNET! Ignore.... :cool:
well TDS i would say take it as i have told you before and not to let anyone keep u from doing what u wanted to do but if thats what u wanted to do then by all means do so ;)
I think that sums it up quite well. :DQuote:

Hey! Don't roll your eyes at me buddy! Besides, one of your borg eyes is covered by metal and I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself...I wanna do it. Get your gloves on pal, or maybe I should say running shoes, LOL I'm waiting...:D

I see what you're saying and in no way do I want to offend Tom. He is very sweet for offereing the challenge and the mag. I really appreciate it!!!! But I think, if he knew it would've caused this kind of discussion, he would not have made the offer. He was doing something nice and got attacked for it and that's not fair. Everyone has their opinions and like I said that's kewl. But to personally attack Tom while stating their opinions was not kewl. I just want the discussion to be over....so I can commence to kicking your butt across the floor. :D
MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!! i have returned with more posts!!!!!! :D
Hey! What happened?? You blind sided me!!! I want a recount... LOL :D Okay, you're winning for now but I'll be backQuote:

I wouldn't count on that. I doubt he intended to cause the debate, but it's not like it is anything new to this forum!Quote:

Most people didn't. They just expressed their opinions. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, no matter how wrong they are! ;)Quote:

Bring it on! I suggest you get the post count up to 1000 and take the RT so you can afford all the other "goodies" you'll need to even try! ;)Quote:

*POOF* all done,commence with the harmless fun,and by all means TDS accept the RT pro.I'm sure Tom doesn't really care a few peeps disagreed.
One post closer to our goal.
i'll put my post into the pot for her RTPro..
