Funny though that it happened in this thread with such a title. Hopefully he will not ask again.

he's aiming for one infraction per moderator. he only needs BTA to complete his collection... so w1zzard ruined it and did it himself

Bta corrected that in the lounge,there are like 10 others he needs first before he even attempts the quest that is btarunr.

Even if Mailman can get bta.. wow.. try to get one from the mods that are ghosts here.. Great people, don't get me wrong.. but He'd have better time putting peanut butter on his body, and having a dog lick slowly, then to get refracted by all of them..

Now, as TPU. Yeah, I agree that it's a great place.. I wouldn't be a computer freak without this site! Much love on all of TPU, and I even love you too Dan. :toast:

MailMan is probably perusing the forums as a guest (I know I did when Zek kicked me for an hour).

So here is what I would do ...
During his ban, reset his post count to zero. Reset all his thanks attributes to zero. Remove all his contacts and friends. Set his location to "On Probation". Give him a temporary title of "pWned By TPU".

Mailman enjoy your vacation! Cant wait for you to get back. =]

After "traveling" the various forums in years, I decided to settled here, most other forums don't treat newcomers nice like here. The community here is friendly and matured.

Silverel · Oct 13, 2009

I don't log in and post as much as I used to, but this is still the best damn tech site on the net!

(I've got the T-Shirt to prove it!)

Chicken Patty · Oct 13, 2009

I really wanna vet me a shirt. Can I still get one? Who do I contact?

Kreij · Oct 13, 2009

I think TPU needs a motto for T-Shirt and such.
Here's my suggestion:
TechPowerUP : Overclocking until the burn is worse than hemerrhoids.

Okay, maybe not.

ste2425 · Oct 13, 2009

tpu does t-shirts?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Kreij · Oct 13, 2009

If I remember correctly, one of the members was making TPU T-Shirts (with W1zz's okay, as he holds the trademark/copyright on the name I believe). Haven't seen anything in quite some time on that and I don't remember who it was that was making them.

I mean come on, where else can you befriend a mod, get on his teamspeak server, take a comment completely out of context, then give him shit for it on the boards..... Great place we have here!!!!

I'd rather drive Nürburgring. Open to the public much of the time, €22 for a single lap, and the price goes down per lap if you buy more than 1 at a time.

Why would you wann drive the Nürburgring? Them rice burners you run would just get toasted by the ZR1s that frequent there. :laugh:

In a Top Gear episode, German race driver Sabine Schmitz (yes, a woman!) toasted several "supercars" in a fricken van. It matters HOW you drive, not WHAT you drive.

Yeah seen that damn shees a good driver.

Well she grew up in the neighbourhood around the Nürburg ring. If I grew up there I'd be toasting everybody in a C2V, too. The only racetrack around here is a hillclimb tarmac track. And its part of the public road system. Nice for testing your car. If there would be speed cameras, the police here would drive in gold coated Paganis.

Top Gear holds no water for me. They went on for 10 minutes about a V8 Mustang and how a horse could beat it around a little oval track it was so slow. Also how the handling sucked. Only there was one problem........it was a V6 they were showing. Morons didn't even know what car they were driving.

Top Gear is a gimmick for Euro-trash gear head wannabes.

Here in Florida they have been setting up speed cameras. North of me someone went around with a shotgun and finished them off. :laugh:

I wish they would do that to the ones by my house.

If you have ever watched German car shows, you'd love Top Gear as much as me. German car shows are the embodiment of boredom. They're like "ooh statistics *fapfapfap*"

9 of us on here have a shirt

About shirts since this may have sparked interest, I had trouble getting interest for another order. If you want one and know a group of people that may as well, send me a PM

About TPU, this place is beast. Such a great group of people and the news/reviews are plain awesome. This place has welcomed me since day one and is the only forum that has appealed to me. Thanks, not just W1zz, but EVERYONE for making this place what it is! :rockout:
