the thread has been unstuck. someone can start a new one later if they feel the need.

Zimphire · Jun 30, 2005, 06:50 PM

Mr Burns, actually there is.

It does add up.

16k being loading by hundreds of people a day, multiple times.

I know turtle meant not harm.

Everyone has hotlinked before.

Actually, thinking about it. If everyone had it in its cache like me, the bandwidth utilization would have been minimal. And, btw, emoticons are in the range of hundreds of Bytes, not KB.

Good call, I would have unstuck it a long time ago. FYI the gallery is still up - http://homepage.mac.com/awaspaas/macnn/

We'll start a new one in a year or so.

Oh shut up. It wasnt one, it was however many he (or anyone else) wanted to use over and over and over. I was ready to drop it and you and KeriVit want to keep it going.

Which is ironic, since he is telling me to drop it. I thought it was.

I have every right to change images or names I host on my site. If someone links to it and its changed, thats their problem.

So, you ready to drop it or should we just start calling each other names?

lavar78 · Jun 30, 2005, 08:33 PM

KeriVit is a woman.

It won't be dropped if you keep replying.

I wasnt talking to you either. This quote system is a little different than phpBB and I thought I quoted mr. burns by clicking the little red icon in the corner, but apparentloy I have to click quote again for the quick reply. You dont have to do that in phpBB.

I dont have a beef with you anymore, so lets leave it at that.

lavar78: I understand what you mean, and likewise, I'll reply as well if these people want to blast me too. Tit-for-tat I guess.

I put that disclaimer in, because that was at the condo and my sofa isnt that tacky.

Dont worry Kevin, I wont be pissing in your domain for too long.

I don't care.

And it's not mine.

Everyone knows wdlove owns this all.

The red q-reply button is not (as I also thought at first) “quote-reply”, but “quick reply”.

Click the blue “reply” button, that's the quote one.

Someone doesn't know what irony means.

And it's not me.

But he is right. Both of the forums I have been to that he was apart of, are far less uptight than this one.

lavar78 · Jul 1, 2005, 10:13 AM

I know exactly what irony means. He reacted to the initial situation and the subsequent posts here in an uptight manner, so it's ironic that he's going to leave because it's too uptight here. He's partly responsible for this thread becoming even more uptight than ever.

From the Oxford Dictionary:

irony 1 |ˈīrənē; ˈiərnē| noun ( pl. -nies) the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect : “Don't go overboard with the gratitude,” he rejoined with heavy irony. See note at wit .
• a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result : [with clause ] the irony is that I thought he could help me.

However, I agree with him that bandwidth leeching is a bad thing.

EDIT: lavar78 beat me to it...by a mile or so

lavar78 · Jul 1, 2005, 10:20 AM

Beat you!

Your explanation was more in-depth than mine.

You obviously don't know Scott. He's a smartass.

He was laughing about it over at his forum.

So yeah, he is right. This place is uptight.

And I can play that game too

Exactly. If you look at he first few posts I made in this thread, you will see I didnt go for the throat, and even used the

smiley. Yeah, an argument did ensue eventually, because some people dont understand how the internet is free and yet costs money. Anyway, most of my inflammatory remarks were reactionary. Something lost on some people. I guess its that "defend one's own" mentality.

Im not knocking you guys or your forum. I just think its a little too uptight, and a little too PC here.

That's precisely why I think you were being uptight. You explained yourself well in the beginning, so any subsequent inflammatory comments strike me as unnecessary. Moreover, I think replacing the emoticon with the picture you did qualifies as well (IMO).

If anything, based on this thread, I'd expect you to leave because turtle was too nonchalant about stealing your bandwidth. Anyway, I bear you no ill will (although the pr0n was way over the top).

Zimphy/Kevin, I have no idea why you posted that definition. How does that support your position?

What part of he was getting flamed after said fact do you not understand? Just like you are doing now, when he replied to your post in a non-chalant joking way, you are replying to him in an uptight pissy way.

That is why he said this place is uptight. And you are just PROVING his point now.

comments strike me as unnecessary.

Like this post you just made?

Moreover, I think replacing the emoticon with the picture you did qualifies as well (IMO).

Well it doesn't matter what you think. I assure you, he was doing it as a joke.

Zimphy/Kevin, I have no idea why you posted that definition. How does that support your position?

Because it goes against the def he used.

I can play that silly game too.

There was nothing ironic about what he said.

No, it doesn't. You deliberately took out part of the definition.

Ok, lets put all the definitions in

i·ro·ny P Pronunciation Key (r-n, r-)
n. pl. i·ro·nies
The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.
An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning.
A literary style employing such contrasts for humorous or rhetorical effect. See Synonyms at wit1.
Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs: “Hyde noted the irony of Ireland's copying the nation she most hated” (Richard Kain).
An occurrence, result, or circumstance notable for such incongruity.

Still doesn't help you.

Doesn't matter there was no irony.

He came in in a joking mood, people got pissy at him for no reason JUST LIKE YOU ARE DOING, which annoyed him. So he said that this place was too uptight.

In which you argued with him over and over again.

YOU ARE JUST PROVING HIS POINT.

Congratulations.
