    What have I done now? Nothing, if you have a problem with me, then just let it be.

    Actually Bree, I'd like you to consider this as something of a final warning. The fact that you're spamming the boards simply to increase your post count is getting increasingly evident, and there's only so much of stupid one-liners I can take before I get pissed off. Sure, you may soon be at your cherished 1000+ posts, but guess what - 99% of those are just senseless drivel, very much like your two posts above. You rarely contribute with anything new/funny/witty/insightful, obviously preferring quantity over quality, and frankly it ticks everyone off, myself included (and my patience has been known to be astounding compared to some of the other admins we've had).

    Do everyone a favour and chill for a while. Go back and read some of the older threads, see how it's done. Pay attention to how certain posts are received and why people liked/disliked them. What I want you to look for is what we expect of people who post here. And read the GD FAQ thread. Jarinor might have been a right old ass at times, but to be perfectly honest he was usually in the right as far as forum behaviour is concerned.

    See Bree, a high post count only matters if it's mainly composed of quality posts, not the shit you deliver most of the time. Look at Grossenschwamm - sure, he's got a higher posts/day ratio than you, but still it's all quality, and thus I have no objection.

    Well, it's basically a question of doing what we tell you or risking a permaban.

    That's all.

    I agree with most of what Dark Elf said (well all of it I think). But want to tell you that I don't think your post count will ever reach a thousand if you continue like this. For every post you make, there's a new one to delete, that nobody will miss.

    And while I don't consider myself one of the better posters here, most of my posts are kind of worthless, at least at the moment, I do have admin powers. And I really dislike deleting posts (yes, I really do, mostly because of the effort involved, having to click that cross next to the post, then wait, then click yes, then wait again).

    I think some members might not understand why I dislike you. It's not just your stupidity, stupid people are kind of fun, or the spamming most members see, or the three (or something) pages of spam I deleted before anyone but you and Xz saw it. Though that is a big part of it. But the main reason, at least right now (OK it's not the main reason, the spamming is.), is the bullshit about the re-released Arcanum you bought.

    Ahh...understanding.
    My love of things with directed explosives/ballistic potential has to take a hiatus until I get my new car payed off. However, if I had the extra money, I'd go to the gun show that's scheduled next week near Cabela's and get myself an M1 Garand and a vintage M1911 handgun. As well as a few hundrend rounds. I might even pick up a Mosin Nagant sniper rifle.
    Then I'd mount them on my wall, and keep the 1911 in a moisture resistant glass case at my headboard. Nothing works quite like a piece of American history when you want to impress a lady...in America.

    I bought my girlfriend a rifle and taught her to shoot it while I was on leave back in October. She needs to learn a thing or two about muzzle-awareness, but she's not a bad shot.

    I briefly toyed with the idea of purchasing a Barret .50cal, but the price tag of at least 4K, and the subsequent cost of ammo (about $2 a shot), and my girlfriend nagging me about saving money, dissuaded me from what could have been the greatest moment of my life. Oh well.

    Dude, I'll save up money. Any way to attach it to the top of a Buick?

    Ah, I miss my 1989 Buick Regal(Limited) with a custom paint job: flat black spray paint.

    But sure, you may have to install some structural supports under the roof, and remove the trunk and install a platform to stand on, but it could be done.

    I was thinking of just making a motor to autofire it and rigging up a targetting system. Far more accurate, and a lot more like Twisted Metal.

    Oh my god...that's awesome.
    The best I've done is install a sun roof in a geo prism so that someone in the backseat could stand up and fire the ol' spud cannon at random targets on the side of the road.

    Last time I stood through a sun roof, I almost got thrown out of the car and off an overpass into the Interstate. Some dumb bitch cut us off right when the lane ended and almost forced us into the guard rail.

    Oh, that's right! The dumb bitch was our drivers girlfriend.

    That was the first mistake, never let the girlfriend drive on a trip.

    Whilst I agree with the general principle, girlfriends are sure handy if you're drunk and like to avoid a DUI.

    Well, for me personal I can only see two problems with you idea.

    1. It's hard to get drunk if you don't drink.

    2. To have girlfriend to help you when your drunk, you acutally need a girlfriend. And sadly, I don't have one.
