This may come as a horrible shock to some people... but I'm not going to bother trying to congratulate everyone for everything anymore, unless I'm actually posting on every page of level up! at some point and thus here most of the time. Catching up with congrats is one of the main reasons I don't come around as often as I do, because it takes so long to freakin' do it. O_O
That said, I did notice some massive levelups recently, so I did want to congratulate:
BahamutReborn on level 15
TooCool on level 15
Dobio on level 16 (you know, if you don't want to look like a certain someone... who's also level 16 and light... you COULD change your aura to neutral or dark... but then you'd look like me or Xwayne, so... you can't win 'em all, eh?)
lightning on level 17
Joe on level 19
and RyanAn on level 20
Congrats to anyone else with major levelups that I didn't notice. For my part, I enjoyed passing 20,000 blams a week ago.... that was nifty. I'm also about to hit 35,000 b/p total.
And again, sorry about the death of my massive "Congrats" robot. Let us all mourn his passing. ;_;

LOL! Jesus, man. You DID leave me a post in the blam club topic back on April 29th, yanno... I know I haven't been HERE since the 24th, but that does count as at least ONE day you had word from me. It hasn't been two weeks since you and I have talked, let's just put it that way. #;-}>
3 cheers for GFOX-BOT woot woot
... O_O
I don't think you're going to want to continue cheering when the joy of my return wears off and you start to get impatient about list updating again. #;-}>

Thanks. I've made it to 8.94!
Wau! It's Jen_the_Great. O_O
It's always strange/weird/cool when I see someone posting for the first time after having updated their VP in the VP list for many months. Hi! Have you checked out the VP list? You weren't at 8.94 as of last update, but you're fairly high up there on it.

WTF!!! My ban is up around an hour before it should be!
I went to post some out there mean stuff in a topic that pissed me off, in hopes that it would tell me how much longer I would have before my ban got lifted, and it posted!
Now I feel like an ass! Still who cares I am off my ban!
Dude, what the hell. You pulled a Bedn. Bedn tried to post some shitty spam message to see if he was still banned a month or so ago, and Tanner had already killed the ban, so his post went through and Joe re-banned him for spamming.
STOP TESTING YOUR BANS WITH SHITTY MESSAGES.
If you want to test it, why don't you just make a sane, sensible, non-flamey, non-spammy reply in a topic you often come to (like say, here?), and see if it will post?

Last ban we were all banned by liljim for posting in a spam topic, it was for three days, around 60 people got banned or so, but no use dwelling on it, we are back now and that is the good thing!
61 people, to be precise.

That wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that you're the biggest level 16 n00b on the site would it Dobio?
Mhmm...the biggest n00b with the higher post count and more friends. Kekeke, oh yeah, go back to your hole, old man. ;)
I hope you two are having fun with this sorta "Cold War" flame war you've got going (STILL!), but I have to make one comment: why on earth did you bring up your higher post count? If you wanted to turn the discussion into a "who's stats are bigger" argument, he's just going to mention his b/p count and exp amount, yanno, and then you won't have a leg to stand on.
If you were just mentioning it in passing or somesuch, then nevermind. But it sure looks like bragging there. Or perhaps you just wanted to say it's impossible for someone with over 9000 posts to be a noob? #;-}>

Anyway, as lightning's message from me on page 415 indicated, all is not well in the interface between GFOX-BOT and the BBS as of late. I can't promise it'll get better any time soon. I'm going away tomorrow morning until late Sunday, and while that's not a long gap, and doesn't require depositing help, it means I'll have even more catching up to do next week... when I'll be (you guessed it) busy again.
So... I'm left with two options:
continue coming to the BBS every week to two weeks, falling behind in between and finally having to spend shitloads of time one or two days a month catching up... leading to my eventual total and complete burnout on the BBS, and me leaving for good...
OR...
try not to worry about reading every single post on Wi/Ht, much like how I treat General (though not QUITE as little-read, of course), and try to come more often, not missing more than one or two days at most.
I like the latter option better, but it's harder to maintain and uphold and stick with. We'll see what happens, but as I said at the start of the post: no more massive congrats... this also means rarer list updates and a saner GFox, so... it's all good. Mostly. #;-}>
It's also Rambo-mode BEEBO approved. Woot!
