Hey I'm a texter...

I don't know I go through like 100 a week but i usually just do it to pass time through classes other times its a mass text message to see who wants to hit up a movie... calling 15 people blows but just adding 15 people from a contact list and typing out 1 message really is much easier.

i usually call for more important things though and I never text someone when I'm talking with someone in person... I also usually ignore my fone for that matter seems more rude to stop a conversation to take a call then to call that person back in a couple of minutes

I appreciate that, but goddamn you gotta admit things were awesome when Ningj and Ingy and Toast and Spammy were all bitch fighting with each other :) Just look for that old variables tutorial.

Anyway, reminiscing over - look to the future and all that malarkey.

RE: Txting

I never really got into the whole texting type affair. I should start :)

I always end up punching out words in full, then thinking it makes me look like a wanker so going back and abbreviating everything, then thinking that probably makes me more of a wanker so just putting things out naturally with the odd spelling error or shortened word left in. It's a fucking psychological minefield.

Texting

I like texting.. it feels like a less intrusive form of contact.. im like fairly anti-social not because i dont want to talk to people but the fact that i cant reason having a NEED to literally call someone and interupt their/my day.. i just dont see it as something that important for me to go through the effort.. i especially hate it when girls call me for no fucking reason... like the other day this girl calls me when she KNOWS im at work.. and shes like hai... watcha doing?... oh... thats cool... so yea i just wanted to say hi... im getting ready to go get my nails done..

WTF have some fucking respect. SOME OF US WORK. actually i didnt say that cause i have no balls but i wanted to :P

Bluetooth

I find those annoying too.. i see em at the airport all the time... what i like to do is like open my phone and talk into it and sound important as a direct mockery of them.. im like 'YEAh sell two million shares i dont care im fed up with the company... lets set up a fraudulent account and take all Bills money, im so fed up with him' and they us ually take a hint and go have their pointless conversations somewhere else.

-L

RUDE

As much as i enjoy text messaging. i absolutely hate it when someone does it over lunch or dinner.

End of the pop-up Ads ... or so it seems

Dont usually share Tom's ramblings but since the topic of malicious ads has come up in the past in this thread and you all are always on the ball..I thought you guys would want to know:

Tom Fulp:

As of this morning, there should not be ANY remaining pop-up ads on Newgrounds, anywhere. So on that note, I would like to ask that everyone keep an eye out and report here if you see a pop-up somewhere on the site.

Also, there should NEVER be any malicious looking takeover ads on the site. We had some coming in through the front page recently and the ad company believes they have pulled the campaigns that were sneaking them through.

Also, if you do so either of the above, make a note of what country you are in when you report it. Thanks!

And of course... I doubt there will be a single forum thread that says, "Hey! Have any of you guys noticed there aren't pop-ups anymore? THAT R0X0RS!"

That does NOT ROXOR

..::Text Messaging::..

Text messaging is great. It gives me the ability to think out what I want to say as opposed to talking on the phone where you're expected to reply right away. It's also a wonderful way to contact people without being too intrusive. Its also a lot more personal and faster than e-mail.

I always try to use standard english with correct spelling and punctuation and most of my friends do the same. It doesn't bother me to see the odd bit of text speak though, it's easy enough to understand, but it's not something I'm used to doing myself.

TEXTING

You guys are lucky you have a cell phone to text on. My Parent will not buy me a phone. They say there reason is that they are having a contest with one of our friends family, and who ever buys there child a phone last wins. I realy don't think thats the reason though. I think its because they think i will run up there phone bill.

Mobiles

lol, sux2bu! Over here everyone has a mobile phone. Apparently there's around 50 million mobiles (and there's only a population of around 60 million). Mobiles are a must have here, so, unlucky! :P

Texting

its good because you can communicate without wasting tons of money. especially on pay as you go here in UK.

:O

What do you do if you want to happy slap someone?

srsly, get some money together and buy your own. they're cheap nowadays.

Txtng

I text sometimes, but i just think phoning is a lot easier. If i want to talk to someone urgently i'll always phone them, but if i'm just casually "talking", i'll text :).

No Ads

Thats good, although I'm sure i'll see a few over the next few months from rouge ad sites :P,

1. That's not how mobile phone charges work.

I would but i REALY want a tablet more. And i dont have a study job and my parents dont pay me for chores. ( the more thaty i think about it they sorts stink ....money wise...i mean were not pore but there REALY fickle)

Bluetooth

My mom has one, but she doesn't use it. The voice quality makes it sound like you're in a tunnel. That's like 3 years old though, I'm sure it's changed.

Texting

I absolutely hate it. I'm the only one I know without a cell phone, and when I'm around any of my friends, they text. I swear, even when we're in the middle of a game of Halo. It's the most annoying invention of... whenever. If somebody wants to talk to somebody, they don't need to be lazy.

Mobiles

Cell phones suck. I went for a long time without one and i loved it.. i fucking hate the fact that people can get ahold of me whenever.. it gives them too much power. IMO.

I like cell phones, but also hate abusers.

Cell phones connect people way more it used to be. It allows people to communicate from anywhere to each other. No longer are people sucked into the landlines for communication, or meeting in person to have a conversation. It caters to a more fast-paced lifestyle. I like the idea that I can call a friend and have them on the otherside, without having to wait until 5:30 when they get home.

However, I feel like people abuse this responsibility and keep in constant communication. Texting in movie theaters is an annoying one for me. Stepping out of class or work to make a phone call as well can be annnoying at times, especially during meetings. People need to learn when its appropriate to be giving each other calls.

I agree with everything you said, yet somehow I get ticked off when someone who I know has a cell phone is somehow out of contact.
Like if they made plans or something and I can't get ahold of them (on the weekends of course).

Cell Phones

Not only do I get annoyed when people are texting at random times (like when they're taking a dump... ask my cousin about that one), but I get made fun of for not having one. Apparently they have become a "Necessity of life." I truly don't care.

Texting

Oh hell yeah. I ended up having to get a plan because my phone bill was over $200.00 a few months back. Looking at my phone now.... Just this month (which is only half over) I have a combined 1672 text messages. (incoming and outgoing)

So figure 3200+ texts a month or so...

About 100 a day sounds about right for how much I do it.

Cellular Phones their texty features

I think cell phones are good, hate texting, but don't like how everybody needs a cell phone and it rings randomly in class. Like what dumbass friend of yours is calling during class. Texting is dumb, because cell phones let you talk to people, rather then waste time typing in a little screen, and each text costs money.

Jesus christ.

I text extreemly rarely, I'm slow and uncoordinated at typing it out. I much, much prefere speaking to someone.

I think it is better for your parents to buy you a phone, so they'll eb able to call you wherever you are, know where you are, etc.

And yes, cell-phones are 'must have' here too, even little kids who dont use mobiles but for playing have them.
txt
I like text messages, i use them a lot, but for stuff like 'i'm going' or 'where are you' or 'come we'll talk', messages, not conversations, it is easier nad cheaper to have a conversation talking.

I'd probably do that if I didn't have to stay under 500 a month... me and my brother have a shared plan of unlimited minutes 1000 texts and neither of us really want to throw down for unlimited texting... It's just not worth it...

Its funny how my family works... I pay for really my cost of living food and clothes and what not , yet occasionally my parents will get my something that isn't necessary... like an upgrade to cs3... I think we have it backwards but it's been working for the past 2 years so I'm pretty fine with it. Food can be a bitch though... it's to expensive 99% of the time. We have a pizza place that's a 4 dollar meal though but then our local market is about 1.25 for an apple. Then I hate having a debit card... I used to just carry around cash but then a friend switched me to this son of a bitch and I overdraw my account about once a month, which is a 35 buck charge.

I don't know really where I was going with this but I always think of cellphones in the same categorie as money.

Mobile/cell hpone

a definate 'chav' icon here..

i wont discuss this cuz i just think they are stupid.. 'omg a phone that is also a pc and a cheesegrater loaoamo'

Reg Upload site

wuould be a fun idea.. if there was like, a Denvish-esc internet folder where we could just uplaod stuff, like soruce flas and such, but just for our litle group..

Would be fun beign able to brose though what you guys uplaod.... (luis's collection of paed--- no wait..)

Luis is Loo EES correct?

I know a kid named luis so i always thought of pronouncing it like that... you know how it woudl sound in spanish...

but now i'm confused if you pronounce "Loo es" (es pronounced like the conjugation of ser es) I'd be heart broken. Completely ruin the vibe..

Lil' Bush

Anyone catch little bush last night I was dissapointed I never really laughed out load but at times I thought it was clever. Dick biting the heads off of chickens and sucking the spinal fluid is priceless though. I plan on watching the next few episodes, but I kinda thought it was poorly animated, rumor has it it s hand drawn though which is pretty impressive.
Then dick caugh stuck up that snizz, when i think back to it I found it funny but I was only mildly entertained while watching.

If this double posts my bad

Luis' awesome naem

I always thought it was Loo-es, but i've heard it like Loo-ee. I don't think it's Loo-ee. I hope it's not.

Well like Loo EE but with an s on the end...
ugh I hate trying to describe how the syllables sound in my head,

I'm pretty sure that's how its meant to be said seeing as he is latino
