A vote for your friend is a vote for DEATH.

You think they're good mates? You think they like you? WRONG. They hate you. They hate everything about you because you're a crap, crap writer.

But hey, you'll ignore my advice, like you always do. And what'll happen? They'll become a notable, and they'll put on the smile, thank you for the votes...

And then they'll discover what a notable is REALLY about, and they won't give a crap about you anymore. All the times you had saying "hi" in the worlds longest thread all night to each other because you've got nothing better to do like live.

And you'll lose your friend, and you'll have nothing left to live for because you realise he doesn't want to post in the worlds longest thread any more, because hey, he doesn't need to.

They'll think they's SO much better than you. You'll be like the son who wants to play the recorder for a living when he grows up, a daughter who wants to grow up and be that voice that everyone hears when they order crap from Argos on the phone.

And what then? Your only friend in the whole wide world... a notable? You thought it would be cool. You thought they would put in "a good word" for you, because that's what notables do, don't they? They can talk to Snuggly and get games just for sending him some porn in the afternoon. That's what happens.

But it won't. You'll lose that friend, your only friend. You'll sit in a corner and cry your eyes out because you realise that you've wasted your life by writing "hi" over and over again to people who didn't really like you in the first place. And you'll be found DEAD. DEAD. Because you've got no friends, you can't write, you thought you could piggy back off a notable and get some free games so you can escape from that crap world of "hi" and "anyone there?"

But you won't listen, because "im notible, keep takin da pills, yeh, your wierd"... and you'll vote for your friend. But don't come crying to me when he blocks you on MSN and starts writing topics, not about gaming... but about life. The life you'll never have.

So when the vote comes, and you've got to make that decision, really look at what your friend's REAL intentions are... because I know, I KNOW, they'll dump you between their cheeks on the street, leave you dry and white, rotting in the sun.

And no, that's not a good thing. Muuuh.

Coming from a self confessed frog, I shall take some time to decide whether that was an observation, or an insult.

Better to be a self-confessed frog than a closet amphibian. And it was an equivalent of 'Good morning'. Not an insult.

So be it, Good morning.

I still think replacing "notables" with branded spammers is a superior way to clean up the forums...

Surely removing them would be a better idea than simply labelling them. Identifying them still allows them to spam. If we could lock them up in a virtual forum where nobody else could read their posts, maybe they would spam themselves to death.

And congrats on your Regular status.

Well, the prospect of being branded could potentially be useful as a preventative measure against spamming. But it is debatable, and could just as easilly encourage it.

I want my newbie colour back =(

I could always create a second forum account, and make it take 3 years to reach regular.

Don't push me, I AM crazy enough to do it.
