Pretty nice place you guys got here...
 

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. :cool:

you obviously missed the sock ant thread

*puts pants back on*

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

I love the OOTPD boards!!!!

Compared to what? ;)

Do we really have to advertise that thread? Can't we all just wipe it from our collective memories?

Oh yeah, welcome!

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)

Is it time for his first trout to be inserted?

*jumps out of Subby's lap*

Heh, er, welcome!

*removes robe and wizard hat*

On this rare occasion, JG speaks for me as well.

I'm with you but it's impression is long lasting.

dola

HARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

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

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

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

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

LET IT GO MAN!!!

Oh, and ask him if he's disappointed that we don't have avatars.

Avatars are overrated.

Especially if they all have the same face on them...

Hell, I'm still disappointed we don't have avatars and I've been here since January of 2001 :D.

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.

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

and remember. Be both cocky AND funny. That's the key.

Wise words. Heed his advice.

These are "Things I Know For Sure"

Skydog is that you?

Unless there is a hippo coming from the other direction.

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

Alias Alias Alias

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. :D

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

It has begun already.

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

There goes JeeberD with another dola post.

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?

I can't let it go. It's like this place has been missing a piece of its soul ever since it went away. Or something.

You can stay. :D

So what you're trying to say is..

(turns Jerry Maguire mode on for Franklinmobile)

FranklinNoble: QOTM.. you.. you complete me. You..

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 never, ever delete a thread - YOU'LL LOSE POSTS!!!!

Dola - beware the strawmen.

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

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?"

Anyone besides me wondering if Blitz is the illegitimate love child of Blade6119 and Fritz?

:D

Scroll up a bit, somebody posted a definition for ya.

Aha. :o

Check out the all-inclusive reference thread.

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.

It contains all the former QOTM's.

I got nothing.

Someone had to do it.

I am 12 or under for gosh sakes!
