3. Bought new phone jack to try to get my connection speed up to at least 48,000 bps (Plagued with strange connection speeds..36,666 to 46,666 Bps most of the time)

No opportunity to get cable in your area?

I had cable and ran into a strange thing with it. At first it was fast..way fast, but over time..(four months after getting it) it started to slow down...it got where I could take a dial-up and connect (56k) faster.

I believe Waverly told me it was because of the amount of people using it. Last month they sent me a "promise" if I would try it again it would work as it should.

Now I run into..should I or shouldn't I. My ISP dial up is paid up for 12 months..(Money I would gladly lose to have a reliable cable connection)... now it's just a decision..yea or nay.

(On another note...I believe it was you who was talking about the transfer rate of cable and to find out if it was a certain rating/speed? Any idea what I need to ask?)

A potential squire, perhaps?

Unless you're spamming in your own "definitely NO spam" thread, isn't that right Beldin?

Tanis,
I had horrible troubles with my avatar picture at first. Is yours the right size?

Beldin,
Hi sweetie How are you?

No, it's not. It keeps saying it has to be 50 by 50 dimensions or something. Oh, I don't know.

Kameleon · Post by **Kameleon** » Sat Apr 06, 2002 4:30 am

Yes - your avatar has to be 50*50 pixels or smaller. If it's larger than that, you have to shrink it somehow. I did it in Paint Shop Pro, of which I got a demo off some free CD. More suggestions can, I believe, be found in the Avatar Envy thread, once you've ploughed through the spam

EDIT: Oh hell it's not there, so don't bother looking. Oh well, serves me right for trying to be helpful

Just don't disappear when McBane and I get caught with our hands in the cookie jar and we need someone to take the heat for us. (For the record, I still deny everything, though.)

I just HAD to leave the office and drive home....

sorry, I'll stay there next time...

Tell you what, to make up for blaming everything on you (including the last Ice Age), at Vivien's beach party, I'll treat you and McBane to a round of Ned's good stuff.

How about treating me to a round of Vivien after Mc Bane hat enough of Ned's stuff ?

Or treating Vivien to a round of McBlame and me while you tape the good stuff ?

No worries, I'm sure you'll think of something nice

see ya'll

THAT wasn't SPAM, that was a "BUMP" - and as fable once stated "a Bump is permitted in our modern day's society"...

No worries,

Beldin

Now for the RIGHT link...

This was the thread I was thinking about when I sent you to the Avatar Envy page; even more spam this time but eventually gets on to the point. I wonder how long I can keep this highlight going...and apologies to Beldin, I've just realised that I spammed that "Definitely NO Spam" thread more than you could have imagined

I'm with you there - except the volleyball perhaps....I'm not sure if I could behave myself after watching the bouncing balls for several minutes.

@Viv, lovely, some day in the future you'll have to show me how you manage to sound suggestive at every turn of a conversation...I'm sincerely impressed. I really like that in a girl

No worries,but we'll have talk about that ...

*re-hugs Vivien just because it feels good*

Yeah. Ask them for the upload/download transfer rate. They should give you a pair of numbers. Ask them what radius that number applies in. Some unscrupulous firms will quote you the figure for a one-mile radius from their location.

~Can think of a way to get cut down spam in forums.~ Has anyone created a topic just for spam before? That might cut down spam a lot from these forums.

HLD:
Hmm...and yet YOU started it in your kind post about me being huggable.

I bet Tanis feels extremely welcome now, though I feel a bit bad for spamming his thread

Don't feel bad about that. Spam in my own threads doesn't bother me.

Welcome to SYM, Tanis.

Here are the rules while you're on the SYM :
1. Thou shall listen and heed to AllMighty Buck, and never try to bother him with useless stuff
2. Pay lots of bribery to Sleepo, fable and Lainy

...........especially Sleepo, he needs them for cofffee

3. Beware of the cults.........We have Spammers, COMMies, Lurkers, and the last is DarkFlames. I've heard there's a new cult arising some time ago, perhaps they'll contact you to join them

4. You might want to sign in on The Updated Anatomy of Gamebanshee Members - No Spam before you continue

5. Last but not least, have fun and try not to break the rules. Breaking the rules might get you "Baassied"
