Pretty nice place you guys got here...

Blitz · 04-15-2004, 12:27 PM

I found this place because of the link to the OOTP preview from the OOTP Development boards. But after hanging out here in general discussion, it seems like there's a good community here, with little flaming, and lots 'o constructive conversation.

Good deal.

rkmsuf · 04-15-2004, 12:28 PM

you obviously missed the sock ant thread

Subby · 04-15-2004, 12:29 PM

Oh hey...did't see you standing there...

I love the OOTPD boards!!!!

Oh yeah, welcome!

SirFozzie · 04-15-2004, 12:30 PM

LOL.. we get a little, no make that a LOT wacky on occasion..

But we're good folks once you get to know us. (if you don't run screaming in horror first)

Coffee Warlord · 04-15-2004, 12:31 PM

Is it time for his first trout to be inserted?

HARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Blitz · 04-15-2004, 12:34 PM

I'm a fan of the VBulletin style, by the way. I've been at BaseballSimCentral for a couple years now, and I think its the best messageboard format out there.

There will be no trout insertion :o

ISiddiqui · 04-15-2004, 12:42 PM

A compliment? Wow... we are moving up in the world fellas!

SirFozzie · 04-15-2004, 12:43 PM

No Trout? Then can we talk about Colossal Squid instead?

Franklinnoble · 04-15-2004, 12:44 PM

I think we should ask him if the QOTM would have scared him off...

Samdari · 04-15-2004, 01:05 PM

After visiting the OOTPD and .400 boards looking to expand my gossip knowledge, I have switched my opinion to "I am glad we don't have avatars" I don't know if sigs are limited in length here or not, but I am real glad that we don't have a lot of people with sigs that take 1/2 a page (especially when they often post one line). That is way too much space/bandwidth overhead.

ScottVib · 04-15-2004, 01:07 PM

Just remember it doesn't get any more serious then a rhino about to charge your ass.

SirFozzie · 04-15-2004, 01:09 PM

So what's the over/under of when Blitz will post a question on what "Dola" means?

Considering that he has about 15 other inside jokes to decipher in this thread alone, I'd say dola is going to be pretty far down the list.

Barkeep49 · 04-15-2004, 01:35 PM

Dola is a great term that we should be spreading across the internet.

SirFozzie · 04-15-2004, 01:41 PM

It has begun already.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dola&f=1
Definition 1:
dola
no votes

The act of posting two or more times in a row.

There goes JeeberD with another dola post.

Definition 2:
dola
no votes

Its origin lies in internet message boards. The term "dola" means to flagrantly post multiple times in a row (or even reply to your own message). It is widely believed that the intent of these "dola" posts is not to add any content to the subject of discussion, but instead to inflate the post count of the person posting the repeated messages. The term dola is not used in the actual action, but instead refers to the action itself.

(first message) Did you see that game last night? (very next message) Last night's game was the bomb! (very next message) So, did anyone watch or am I all alone here?

QOTM (Crying): Shut up.. Just shut up. You had me at hello...

When a lady has just recently died, I like to have sex with her. The muscle contractions make me feel like I am bring her back to life.

and now that he's exposed to the horror that is The Afoci, he will never feel shock or shame ever again.

Blitz · 04-15-2004, 02:24 PM

Inside jokes are the lifeblood of a messageboard. It comes with the priviledge of being around for awhile

All messageboards have their inner loop.

That said, what the hell is the true meaning of "dola?"

Did we mention how people who ask questions answered already in the same thread are beaten senseless. Actually, they are given the choice of that or multiple viewings of the SkyDog patriotic panties picture. Most opt for the beating.
