  1. Nice scoot PG, is that a shovel or a knuckle? Hard to tell with that pic.
  2. Hola everyone! On Tuesday, August 23/05, Besttechie.net forums will be 1 year old!! Join us as we throw one HELLUVA bash to commemorate this wonderous occasion! Everyone is invited to post into this thread, and wish Jeff the BEST for bringing the old TTV crew, and all our new found friends, together in one place again. I'm very excited to have been a part of this, and want to Thank you all for allowing me to be here with you all. I especially wish to Thank Jeff, for giving me the opportunity to help him in this endevour....THANKS JEFF!!! I remember when Jeff, then Beluga, first showed up at TT
  3. Aghhh...beat me by a New York Minute....
  4. Besttechie.net forums will be 1 year old on Tuesday!!!! BYOB of course...
  5. MIne.... Serious now...The classified "Experts" in certain fields, have Mod powers in their specific forums. You can tell who's an expert in what field by the color code in their username in the Online list, look at the bottom of the Forum Home page in the Board Stats for the Online list and color key.
  6. Of course Liz, I have always been here, and always will be. I made a commitment to Jeff, and the Besttechie Members, to help make this board the best place it can be. I fully intend to live up to that commitment. Well, that would be a slap in the face really....and I wouldn't accept even if they did. I have no intentions of helping them whatsoever, in any capacity. If its the same spelling, Sauron was the once good white wizard that turned evil in The Lord of the Rings. Say WHAT???? When did they start doing that to bread? Geez...I gotta get out more often. Thanks again everyone.
  7. Gzip is a compression format that speads up forum page loads in large forums. It means that the pages are stored on the server in a compressed state, so that the members have better performance in loading pages. Saves bandwidth and CPU cycles.
  8. Hmm...I thought that we had that already enabled Jeff...was I wrong??
  9. Hi everyone!! This is my absolute LAST post about that other place, but I thought many of you may find this rather interesting. I have been UNBANNED at GWhore....I mean four.. Go figure eh...I thought I was Perma-Banned for life, for my little...ahemmm.."indiscretions" Will wonders never cease! Not that I have any intentions of ever going back there, but it may come in handy someday. Later Y'all
  10. Hi Jen, and Welcome!! Great to see your lovely face here, enjoy our little community!

    Weird

    LOL!! No, its just you wic....we put that in place just because we know you too well... Seriously tho, its a Flood control so trolls can't flood the forum with useless spam posts, copied and mass sent, and try to flood the server. It only allows one post every 30 seconds to be posted to the forum.
  12. Hi Il_Wiccan The blue blocks reflect the post count for the user and go in increments like this: 1 block - 0-30 posts 2 - 31-100 3 - 101-200 4 - 201-500 5 - 501-1000 6 - 1000+
  13. You CAN edit the topic title if you are the OP, or a Mod. Just click the Edit button of your post and the title can be changed also.
  14. You're VERY WELCOME my brother!! We have developed a great friendship over these years, and I have a very deep love and appreciation for you and Sherri, and all your prayers for me. For those that may not know Preston as I and some others here do, he is one of the most Caring, thoughtful, and trustworthy folk I have ever known, and I love him as a brother!! It is we who are blessed to have this man with us here at Besttechie!
  15. Ya know what this place needs....a couple of pool tables in the back, over there by the jukebox. If you just move those tables from there to over here, then you could fit in 2 tables and maybe a dart board too.

    A New Day

    +200? Very cool! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 148 to be exact, but HEY...thats still GREAT!!
  18. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart!! Without the support of my friends, and those that understood my true intentions, I think I would have turned off this computer, wiped it clean, and sold it for beer money by now... I'm sure that any one of you, were you in my position at that time, would have done the same thing for the members. You all are "Stand-Up" kinda people, who just want to do the "right" thing when its needed. It just so happens that it was me who was thrust into this position, and forced to act for the greater good, even tho I knew I was cutting my own throat at G4. I just
  19. I have written an open apology to G4 Admins Mods and members in general that I have asked Mike (mlegg510) to post for me at G4, and a copy of which I post here for all of you. While I will always stand behind my decision for the original post that started all of this mess, I am sorry for the hurt it has caused so many people, that was never my intent. All I want right now is for all the fighting to come to an end. To that end, I wrote this letter: To the Admins, Mods and G4 Members: A letter of Explanation and Apology To whom it may concern: I'm asking that this be posted in the G4 forums for
  20. Hi Mike That was awfully nice of her, and it shows your character too, to be the one to sit and talk "Geek" with him...he obviously enjoyed it, because she recognized what mattered to him. Now, when you use your computer with the New parts, you can be in touch with your BIL in spirit at least. Chin up friend, we'll always be here for our family when they need a shoulder, or a hand, or just a freindly
  21. Just noticed that our Newest member is one of the Old TTV guy's, Goliath! Welcome Aboard Buddy! You're gonna love this place, everything good that TTV had, and nothing from that other site except a few good people. We have a great community here, we're gonna keep it that way, and now that you're here it just got even better.
  22. I had started a thread a week or so ago, with some pics of me, so I'll just post a link to that thread...or maybe merge the two together. Hmm...merge...link...naw, I'll just copy the body of that post here. This is your chance to see what this goof you've been listening to all this time, looks like...no laughing or drawing of moustaches and bushy eyebrows on the pics please. Here goes, a few oldies first so you get a timeline kinda. This is me with an old girlfriend on the left and a good friend on the right. This one is my family, my brother on the left, 2 sisters, me and my Mom. This one he
  23. Its early still....but what the heck eh!! I'll have an Ice cold Kokanee please. (Canadian beer, glacier fresh water)
  24. Hi TT Yes, we do have a Language filter in the board software, but we feel that it shouldn't be needed, our members are mature enough to not need policing like that. Even our younger members are so mature, that they completely agree with, and abide by our Language policy, unwritten as it is even... The occasional slip is to be expected, and we'll address those as they arise. If a member see's something that they feel should be edited, contact Jeff, myself, or one of the other Mods, and we'll look after it if it needs to be looked after. Really tho, I don't think we'll have a problem here like
