What the hell? Am I stupid or what? I waited for months and I thought Andrew doesn't like me. I even emailed him... how embarassing :oops:

New guy here :D


My point exactly!!! If it wasn't for Portland, none of you would be graced with my lovely presence everyday. :twisted: She's the one who told me I'm approved.

(Jason throws Portland under the bus. Those who don't like Jason must now go after Portland for bringing him here in the first place.) :wink:
Lovely??? this is lovely............shit it wont load,speakin of load , How ya doin jason?

Which porn site Rick?


:lol: :lol: :lol:

I wouldn't go to that one Steve. Those kinds of sites are going to be full of computer viruses.


Yeah Steve, stick to the non-viral hardcore porn sites - they are much safer. Friga has a list of them, email him.

I think he just likes to wack off in a mirrow looking at himself

I quit deleting them... They just resign back up again, and I just don't have the time to mess with them. I approve obvious REAL sign up's, but the gray-area ones I'll wait until they send Andrew bitch mail about not getting approved... :lol:

See, Voyager, you saved the life of yet another soon-to-be lost soul. This poor newbie child, SYNCH, was on the verge of despair, waiting months for Andrew's approval, never knowing he had already been approved until YOU came in with this life saving thread & spared this child from certain disaster. Don't you feel omnipotent? :wink: From this day forward, everywhere you go doves will fly around your head. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think it's more along the lines of getting used to all the misc posts, the bs from the dirty dozen posters, the fact that you can read topics ranging from politics, sports, world events, oh yah....music too, etc, etc. Only when you realize you're not supposed to take any of it too seriously, that's when you'll see them start to post. I'm sure it's a bit much for the casual web surfer to digest. ;)

I was registered for 6 months before I posted I think... and I don't post often. Posting on this board is kinda like visiting a friend in a really bad neighborhood in Memphis - you pack a weapon, you watch your back constantly and you don't wander into any alleys.

My guess is they're waiting for that email that will never come. I don't know if things have changed since you first joined, Voyager, but when I first joined just a few months ago the "rules" said that you are to sign up & that when you are approved a message will be sent to your email address letting you know you've been approved. Well, I've been posting here since May & I have yet to receive that email. The only way I even knew I was approved is that Portland let me know via another website we were both posting on. Otherwise, I would have waited forever.... & ever..... & getting increasingly discouraged Image ....... & depressed .... & wondering why Andrew doesn't like me Image ...... & why I'm not good enough to be a memberImage....... & wondering, "Was it something I said?" Image...... until one day I wouldn't have been able to even get up out of bed. There would have been nothing left to live for.Image




Okay, maybe that's a wee bit extreme, but you get the idea. :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:





And someone let you know you were all set......sorry everyone :wink: :lol:

Same with me, Jason. I joined months b/f and never got the email and forgot about it. And later I tried joining again and waited a month and never got the email. So one day I just on a lark went in and tried to post and I COULD. I had someone on another site pm me that they had been waiting for the email for confirmation they had been accepted here and never got it. I told her just to try posting anyway, and she told me it worked. She said if I hadn't told her that she would have given up waiting and would have thought she wasn't accepted.

Think of it as a neighborhood that looks rough, but then you find out that all the perpetrators are using rubber knives and fake pistols.

Why treat life as a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in an attractive & well-preserved body? Get there by skidding in sideways, a glass of wine in one hand, chocolate in the other, body totally worn out, screaming WOOHOO! What a ride!

I remember when I first signed up for this board, I had to email Andrew several times to request him to approve my registration. Every time he checks, my account wasn't in the "memberlist". Maybe T-Bone thought I'm a spammer that he kept deleting my account as soon as I sign up hence Andrew can't find me. IIRC, I think in the end Andrew had to create my account manually.

Perhaps you can try integrating captcha on signups to get rid of these spam bots?
