lol nice alias Smurfette_

Wanna know what makes it really nice? It's my real name. In full. =) Bet you didn't know you were the only person of Arab descent on NG did you? =P

took me awhile to realize it was you...

What made you realize it was me? My overall sexiness? Hehe, or was it my wondeful profile pic? =)
Eh, actually, I think your overall sexiness is far greater than mine (I never get tired of this pic...). =O

I hate it when there's a new acronym on the block and you've got no idea what it means. I first saw AFAIK in a post of gfox's, accompanied by JSYK. I sat there pondering for a while and managed to decipher AFAIK (as far as I know, as has been explained) but I had to ask about JSYK (just so you know, as it turned out). It seems there's a new one every month.

Thanks _Amir_Basit_Aburabi_ (YHEY FOR COPY AND PASTE!), it means a lot. I was actually pretty worried about it blowing up in my face, and people yelling "LOL THAT'S SO SIMPLE AND CAN BE FOUND HERE!" While it's true that it's a very simple list (hell, all I had to do was divide 10 by 25 different numbers), it doesn't seem that it's anywhere else so I'm safe so far. It's nice to see a set of solid figures together anyway.

So what's with the new name? If it weren't for Osamarama I don't know how long it would have taken me to figure it out was you, Smurfette. I thought it was BonusStage at first. Is this a permanent thing or just a joke for a while?

You do? How flattering it is to know someone who isn't running a list is keeping tabs on me. <3 MPA.

Next rank-up ought to bring you into the 9's as I'm sure you're well aware.

Indeed I am MPA. Not only will it bring me into the 9's, but it should also boost me into the Top 100 VP, depending on the growth of the position in the meantime, of course. It's something I've been looking forward to for a long time.

Thanks for the list

No worries. Thanks for saying thanks! ;)

i've been wondering if i'll have 10 by the time I hit EGSC.

Even if you don't, you'll get there eventually through deposits. That way you'll hit 10.00 even too, which is awesome. Poor D0GMA skipped right over it.

Haha that would be great. Actually I didn't want to hurt your feelings at first...it can be found here. Lol, jk. I found it pretty neat. =)

Oh, so you took the slakers way? >=( hehe, once again JK!! ^_^

it doesn't seem that it's anywhere else so I'm safe so far. It's nice to see a set of solid figures together anyway.

Yeah, like I said, it looks very helpful. =)

So what's with the new name?

I change names every chance I get. =O

If it weren't for Osamarama I don't know how long it would have taken me to figure it out was you, Smurfette.

Hehe, please, call me Amir. =)

I thought it was BonusStage at first.

He's the one who inspired me to think of this name...=O

Is this a permanent thing or just a joke for a while?

My names are never permanent, but this is not a joke...or not a joke in the sense you're thinking of.
Amir Basit Aburabi is my in fact real full name. The reason I decided to make it my new alias? Bonus and me were talking in AIM and he was saying something about how stupid it would be to give away personal information over the internet. So to smite him I made my real name into my alias. =) The profile picture is a joke pic though. And I just got photoshop so I had fun with my sig. =) EDN! Much <3 ^o^

I'll try to locate the other one later, as for now...I'm off to bed.

On a side note, has anyone seen Ivan? That thing's back, and it's heading my way! Turns out part of it spun off and sat over Florida for a while, but now it's moving west and it's supposed to hit Texas in a couple of days. Have I mentioned I hate rain? Ugh...

That's good, nice to know my posts count for something other than post count. :)

Besides, the last time someone wished someone else wouldn't post anymore, Pure died. Be careful what ye wish for. ;_;

Oh yes, Pure, I nearly forgot about him, he had over 9,000 posts when he stopped posting. He said he had computer problems and needed someone to deposit for an undeclared period of time. So maybe he stopped posting and used the computer problem as an excuse, but even if he didn't, he wasn't as bad as everyone said he was and I agree with what 'ye' said.

Heh, well i think they shouldn't be just a "fad" but more of a tradition ;P

Better. Anyway, gfox posts becoming a tradition would be weird, it takes time to write something long, and a lot of work to keep the reader's interest for a full 6.5k post. And the reason why the posts are so long is because he doesn't read the topic everyday. I don't need to write something that long, and neither does anyone else who comes very regularly.

Of COURSE Bonus would be happy. I'm the only person who lets him get away with his entendres.

Uhh can YOU guess which word i didn't understand

Person? gfox does do a lot more than the average NGer could ever do.
Him? You do use a lot of emoticons, often (you explained it before, but I'm not going to look through your posts now).
Dictionary.com couldn't find it, but I did (and no, you can't have a link). :P

Do women in Mexico not wear ice slippers? That's as close as I could get, I really don't know and the link you provided didn't have the information visible without scrolling down (I get enough scrolling in this topic), so I'll probably never know.

You should come to Australia then, why if I had a dollar for every day it didn't rain, I would probably have more money than I have now... Well I hope you don't get wet or anything worse, and you still have a few days to get a ticket for Australia.

No trips for me. I've got exams coming up in a week. Wonderful, so it's going to rain cats and dogs all weekend, and then exams the week after. Doesn't it just figure? (Well, at least I don't live in Florida; looks like they might get hit again, this time by Jeanne)

Well Gfox, ive decided not to reply to every post you made regarding me and you talking it woud just lengthen this out even more and proly give you nightmares so im not gonna. All i have to say is understood, and everything is now at an end.....Except for that thin skinned remark, you have been warned >:/

Haha, well, if no one ranked up, then that must mean that nobody ranked past me...right?

Well, I have a rank-up for ya. I just dipped below 250 in the BP Ranks. ^_^

But thanks for that list Figment ( i think it was you) Now i know i wil prolly never get 10vp, thanks alot :)

Yeah, I saw that too. Awesome chart James :) That is pretty cool and all. Now I know what it will "take" to get a VP of 10 at my current XP/BP level increase.

Due to lack of everything... I am just going to say 'congrats to all' and assume that I have caught up on everything in the topic...

Nephthys has just been modded, for those who dont already know.

That's only updated once a day. (Some time around 3 am, I can't remember exactly. I knew it on April 1st when I changed my name to bigbadron to fool people though.) And she was modded some time this morning after then. 9 am? 10 am? something like that.

While everyone is on the topic of mods and such...
Do people get review modded the same way BBS mods do?
During that bigass liljim convo I was talking about some pages back, one of the things i asked him was, 'Do people get review modded the same way BBS mods do?', his response... 'not really'.
