Welcome to the boards.

You might want to tone down the creep factor though.

ChadTower · « **Reply #2 on:** July 18, 2007, 01:37:45 pm »

That's cold, bro.

And I know me some cold.

What? It just struck me as odd that the post read like a singles ad in the paper. As soon as I saw the poker thing, I expected to be emblazoned with spam links

Leo, nothing personal dude. I just don't want another Harrison Ford incident.

Chad, it's those smilies. They bring back nightmares.

In some of the other forums I frequent I see almost this identical post from new users. It's always a prelude to some sort of website promotion.

Your just upset because he's not interested in your romantic attempts.

Meh, I was gonna send him to Paige and the Amazing Technicolor Goodwill Couch.

ChadTower · « **Reply #8 on:** July 18, 2007, 04:51:39 pm »

It didn't start out technicolor. It started out beige. Paige lives hard.

Well hello!
I didnt even know people still do judo, I'd say you're in top physical condition :-) I remember doing it for like a month as a kid, couldnt take the strain anymore after that :-DSo my hat is off to ya!
I like living in general too, so there's something we have in common.
Oh,nad of course...poker. If ya wanna learn some extra strategy techniques take a look at this.it has helped me out an awful lot!
Cooking you say...well,I can safely say I only like the eating part,that is if I didnt make it myself!!!!

saint's note -- spam link removed so as to not give them any reward for it, thread left for amusement value

And there ya go. Two one-post wonders: one guy to bring them in, and the other to provide a helpful link that's completely off-topic.

EDIT: spam link altered since Saint missed it

Expertly executed!

Buddabing · « **Reply #14 on:** July 19, 2007, 05:59:18 pm »

He registered both users at 9:51 on July 11th, within 30 seconds of each other. Not so expertly done.

-troll-fu for leo!

Samstag · « **Reply #15 on:** July 19, 2007, 06:04:30 pm »

One spam point for creativity to shillo, for the clever name.

Too bad he is probably a bot and will never actually understand any of this.

shardian · « **Reply #20 on:** July 20, 2007, 11:23:21 am »

I wouldn't think a bot could do that. If it wasn't a bot, why would a person go thru that effort for a link???

Chris G · « **Reply #21 on:** July 20, 2007, 02:25:28 pm »

I didn't know bots could have girlfriends.

ChadTower · « **Reply #22 on:** July 20, 2007, 02:29:23 pm »

They called biots.

I knew it was a bot from the original post.

"I have a girlfriend so I'm not looking for romance" (Paraphrased).

So "Leo" is either a guy who is not looking for a girl or a girl not looking for a girl.

I know that's the reason why I joined a male-dominated board/activity/hobby/money-sinkhole!!!

Damn! I read through this whole thread in the hopes of learning some extra strategy techniques for poker and Saint deletes the only link to something valuable.

You missed your chance twice. Saint missed the link in my quote.
