Ha ha! Hear that Fatman... you are considered respected... well respected in fact! Crazy hippy.
You and Phil still stoppin' over at my place for beers on the Shatner thing or can I tell the police not to worry?

Yes...There was alot of level 10 stuff. Tom was trying to get a new product out and working, and if it wasn't for this threads it wouldnt be being released now. We were all newbies at sometime. If it wasn't for asking questions, the we as people would know nothing. Give them a break. Have you never asked a question in your live?

I used to come here every couple of days, but I and friends can't even stand it here anymore. Granted, there are a few oldschool users that are cool, but seriously folks, when Tom posts something new, NOT EVERY MEMBER ON THIS GOD FORSAKEN BOARD NEEDS TO SAY THE SAME THING!. It happens to all forums. I don't stay more then a year or two...Things are actually the same...but that is why you leave. It is the same. It gets boring.

One, "WOW OMFG I WANT 1 OMG TOM I WILL STRIP FOR U IF U WILL GIVE ME 1 " is quite enough.
that wink is sarcasim....They are just suggesting that they like that product alot and they want one badley. A compliment perhaps
Another thing that has been bugging me. Your oversized sig pictures. Is it really necessary to have 3 pictures? All your doing is making this site slower, harder to read, and making it look very tacky.
I agree with you on this one..1 small pic is enough. Peoples sigs are bigger then their posts most of the time

Next, whats with this Careopia fan club crap? It's the same thing as the WLIPP " OMG AMY I LOVE YOUR PICTUREOMG!!!1!!!" Please people, yes, she's a cool person, but really, leave her alone. Would you want a bunch of horney 14 year-olds with a fan club for you? It's like people and celebritys. They have lives, too, and I'm sure people asking for autographs gets real old.

It is simply for fun. Simma down. Yes....The Amy thing at WLIPP maybe have been a little out of hand, it was a bunch of kids just wanting to win a prize. The capo fan club if just for fun..If she didn't like it...They would be no club now. The capo fan club is created because of her position as spokesmodel.
I'm out.

You should have used a search because this has been brought up before. Yes it was a while ago and had different topics but it doesn't matter. You must use the search. Search or die!

Alright, I posted the thread like this awhile back. Yes, Im really quite capable of figuring out that Capo is the AGD spokeswomen if you will. But, it isn't just Phil and others who started it anymore. I have no problem with them, it's all good, but what I DO have a problem with is the people who probably weren't "invited" to be in this club, they just stole the image for their sig.

And, comon, we all know how women are. They won't tell you if they don't like something. They say "no really it's ok" or "no I like it" type thing.

newbies

being new to this forum myself, I have already witnessed some of the problems you have talked about. I do not post very much because most of my questions i find answered after reading a few more posts but if a newbie isn't supposed to ask questions here where else are they suposed to ask them? I do agree with you about the huge and numerous images that are annoying and slow me down. But as a newbie to this forum I try not to ask dumb already answered questions.
PS: i am not a newbie to the sport, but i have only owned a mag for 6 months andhave been playing for 3yrs

Who me? I didn't start anything! If your talking about me then please tell me what it is I started.

The Fan club? noooo. Not me! I didn't start it.

Signatures? Noooooo...they existed before me!

The use of the Fan Club signature? Noooooo...go look! that was not me.

Size of signatures? Physical or Bit wise? I too got a problem with the over use of them. Once per thread is certainly enough. But I do not assume the phisical size is any indication of the space they may take up loading. Besides...if they bother you? TURN EM OFF!

I think perhaps you are mistaken. Or got up on the wrong side of the bed.

And let me tell you that Capo did not want the fan club to start for she feared this kiind of Jealousy and she is a modest person. She is a bit embarrased about al that. It took a while to get her to let it start up. And it was all in the name of some postivie Hype for AGD and some upcoming AO events she was attending. Which we wanted to promote with some fun banter and interaction. Which is one of the reasons this site is financialy feasable.

Now...Ok...so we suck! So go to the site you feel is so much more mature and interesting then. I, nor anyone else, here controls what everyone does to the minutest detail. And we welcome new comers even if it takes some time to train them. Most people learn to ignore or they step in and help out with the education. But it's gonna happen and no sense gettin your panties in a wad over it. It's the Internet for christ sakes! And welcome back Fatty!

Yes, that makes sense. I really think AO's gone down a bit too but that's because AGD's getting a new customer base at the moment with the extreme and other products it's releasing. After a while the newbs will turn into regulars or they'll just stop posting. Relax! Just wait it out.

All of the level 10 stickies are different and have different info in each thread

I agree, the second Tom says something, there are 15 pages of post with people saying great idea and other stuff like that, which isn't a bad thing, just gets annoying sometimes. But actually that is a good thing seeing that the users acknowlage (sp?) other ideas

One, "WOW OMFG I WANT 1 OMG TOM I WILL STRIP FOR U IF U WILL GIVE ME 1 " is quite enough.

Now, post like that, i have no problem with

That REALLY annoys me too

Now, something that annoys me is that if you ask a question, there are so many threads, your post in gone within an hour, which means most likely your questing don't get answered. There are also alot of rediculus posts like talons are better then any other gun, i mean come on ppl, it's been done before, gets old, and is all around annoying.

Well, that's my $0.02
