Do you think there's scope for doing a bit of username-squatting? ie. register any name you can think of ending in 68 in the hope Cash will buy it off you for vast amounts of moolah? Probably not. Where did the 68 thing come from anyway?

I remember back in the day in the AOL chatrooms, people used to do that.

But we always made fun of the AOL chatrooms.

Isn't the old joke that 68 is the speed of sex? Because after that, well... it's 69.

Ding ding. You are the winner! When all the regular "Ca$h" names are taken at every online service, I had to put a number after my name. Since 68 Chargers kick ass, I figured it was a good number.

i don't understand what the big deal is. He's not a bad guy really, just because he doesn't believe what you believe, or follow the same line of thought doesn't make him a crazy...i think some people are too harsh on cash...just my take.

the moron name should be banned as its a personal attack.

funny how people confuse an "opinionated" person who has views that differ from their own opinion and the term "moron".

On that subject [rant] don't make fun of people's intelligence as you have no idea whom you're slandering - they may very well not be as bright as you and this no reason to abuse people [/rant]

guess it must be time for another gay bashing thread - its been at least 3 weeks since the last one. This has nothing to do with this topic - just a random thought expressed.
this sig intentionally left blank

I for one will not judge or say anything bad about this member until he/she post some comments on this board. I don't judge people by their appearance, so I won't judge anyone by their name either. Until he/she gives me an impression that he/she is a bad poster, my views on this new member will be neutral.
