501688 2006-11-24 06:10:00 or are like the current generation of kids... impaitientDude, there's no excuses like that in other forum for me. Do you know what they do? They kick and ban you first and no excuses. I've joined many forums especially European forums. PedalSlammer (8511)
501689 2006-11-24 11:37:00 now come to think of it, if he wanted an answer within 30 minutes, why didn't he just GOOGLE IT (http://www.google.com)... it would show that there seems to not be anything on anymore....


moderators are welcome to remove my link - again - but i thought it was somewhat fitting

disclaimer due to possible moderator action - do not click on the above link if you are easily offended.....

501690 2006-11-24 13:31:00 At what point do you realise you've been around this forum for "some time"?

This is a good indicator for me - any thread heading in Bold or Caps containing the word HELP and far too many exclamation marks.
Then I know, even before reading any further, that the poster is:

(a) new here
(b) either enthusiastic or showing off
(c) either a breath of fresh air or self-opinionated....

......and when criticised, will either:
(a) vanish immeditely
(b) become aggressive & get banned
(c) adjust to forum protocol & turn into a useful & interesting member.

It doesn't usually take many posts/threads to guess which ,,,.

same all over the internet . . . you can actually estimate the (mental) age of a person simply by the language/reasoning used an their ability to turns capslock off . . . if they swear/become abusive rather than backing themselves up, use txt spelling and only use upper case they are around 12 . . . . if the can spell reasonably well and will argue their case calmly and admit defeat they can be anywhere above 18:thumbs:

NB i said mental age as there are 30yr/olds out there which make a 15y/old look good lol

501692 2006-11-25 02:36:00 I think all mods should have a rule that if any topic has a title !!!AnYtHiNg LiKe ThIs!!! then it should be automatically deleted. :D pine-o-cleen (2955)
501693 2006-11-25 03:18:00 What happened to all the computer fairs in Auckland?

An old rule applies, "You can't fool all the people all the time".
Insufficient new suckers to be fleeced?

501694 2006-11-25 06:34:00 Guys, please rescue my sorry butt . Was out of the scene for some time and I see huge undesirable changes . . . There used to be several computer fairs in Auckland(north shore, penrose, panmure) . I wasted several weekend MORNINGS to visin any one of above mentioned! Gonne with the wind . . .
Is there any computer fair left to visit in this town????

Whoa, computer fairs? So how long exactly were you out of the scene for? :eek:
Closest we get to those these days are the normal markets held every Saturday and Sundays and Garage sales .

Theres also Trademe .

PS, Hi everyone on PF1 :)
