Does the Simpsons Movie count?

Well, a while back I remember some of the mods stating they were going to delete any posts containing nonsensical achievements. That would've been a great deterrent against spammers. Too bad the plan fell through. :(

Yep, I've brought this to the attention of a few mods and the only post that got deleted was my intended PM to Zendra. They have no idea of how to run the place, as hollow threats don't work.

Hello Bannsville.

I'd be scared if Live Free or Die Hard was based off a true story, which was a mis-read for me :P

I remember gfox saying something about the one sentence posts as well like "1000 blams", "Level 23" and so on. However, I think that was when he was still a mod and unfortunately, he's no longer a mod. :(

Most of you may not care, but I know a few do. In any case, QF and I are going to start working on rebuilding from scratch. Yay!

This is brilliant news! I'd like to thank both you and QF for making the decision to rebuild the site. Sure, we'll lose everything we had before, but as long as the site will return, I'm happy.

That would stop it, absent could do that, thoughts?

Of course posting non achievements is spam. I dunno if any mods have actually banned any of them recently, but if they started now, things would improve and I'd have some faith in the mods.

Indeed, but don't leave because of them - we need you here.

If I do leave, I'll miss this place. Sadly, all good things must come to an end and that includes myself retiring from this thread sometime, which could be either when its the new year or in 5 years time. :P

So what are you doing with yourself at the moment? Work?

I'm trying to find a job and luckily, I found a part-time job at my local SPAR shop. It's only 20 hours a week, but it's a good start. :) Hopefully I get the job.

Yes and no. Yes for that Spider pig joke, but no since perhaps they actually did the right thing on the movie. However, I haven't seen the movie, so I can't decide whether its good or not, although parts of what I've seen are complete shit.

A hiatus is where people actually miss you :P

For example, if I left the BBS and came back in a year or two.

Ranked 62nd in experience!!!

I've made it to level 20.. last level up of the year, and 4th level up since the redesign,
and i've only missed 6 days of turning in points since the redesign. Let's see how long
it takes for me to start slacking again, lol.

A new BP rank for me.

though I'm still not even at the halfway mark for Sup Commander. Sigh...

I've been collecting them for several years now Officer, but was recently introduced to a cool site that has tons of them. Use the search words "funny gifs" and you're bound to laugh more than once. Just remember Newgrounds has a file size limit of 150k.

That's ok then. I watched it and found some of it quite amusing - they've certainly pushed the window of good taste, but not in a crude way, like South Park.

You already said that, dipshit, and it's not much of an achievement either since it's really easy to go from top 1000 to top 900.

Sorry we don't congradulate people's level ups under 10, as it is fairly easy to obtain.

You shouldn't be criticising others for anything they say that isn't an achievement.

Levelling up in the early levels is easy. Maybe you have a huge lack of patience.

It's a shame that there's so many inactive mods. However, some of them get demodded eventually.

Ordering online pisses me off. I've done it a few times with T-shirts, and even though they say it'll be a week, it usually ends up taking about a month before you get it.

If I do leave, I'll miss this place. Sadly, all good things must come to an end and that includes myself retiring from this thread sometime, which could be either when its the new year or in 5 years time. :P

Indeed, all good things must come to an end. I don't think I'll ever fully retire from this thread, partly because at present it's one of the few threads I actually bother to post in regularly, but also because I like the kind of people in here (for the most part).

If Coop left this thread, it would be a sad, sad day.

I'm trying to find a job and luckily, I found a part-time job at my local SPAR shop. It's only 20 hours a week, but it's a good start. :) Hopefully I get the job.

Cool, I need to find a job at the moment, but I've been putting it off until I finished all my army officer's application stuff, which I've now completed for the next 9 months or so. I really don't have much of an excuse now.

Come on now for this guy it is a real achievement. Though that level he is at now would have been more of an Achievement if the levels were on the sliding scale still though.

I reached LVL 31! Which is nothing compared to what I will have achieved tomorrow.

Also sorry about my absence lately (read: last 3 months) but I'm having serious internet issues which will be solved... Later.

Nevertheless, we don't congratulate for any lower than level 10. I wouldn't have been an asshole about it myself if he hadn't been an asshole about not being congratulated, though.
