PART 2: I'm new an your 50-post rule sucks! Please change it for my convenience.

I'm going out on a limb and guessing Tom didn't learn it from Adult Swim.

That's just a reference, not the only one...

Obviously you never seen someone butter bread before putting it into the toaster. Had to stop them, did not wait to see what was going to happen.

OK now if that was anybody over 12 there may be an issue.....

The terrorists are 8 (just turned) and they know their way around the kitchen.

Uh....ur...uhm.........

That was from a bing search. Figured might as well post it. It is a pet peeve of mine when people post acronyms and just expect that people will know what they mean.

At my age it is a challenge sometimes but a quick text to one on the kids (both mid to late 30's) and I am up to speed.

I once dated a girl who thought she'd be nice and do my laundry while I was at work.

She put liquid fabric softener in the dryer.

I once had a wife who thought she would be nice and do a neighbor while I was at work. California living

I own a foreign bike, and I'm pissed off that your group would accept me!


Sort of reminds me of my time at Purdue - the Society of Women's Engineering president was a man.

People like a certain bike and that's ok. More riders the better, but can't each brand/club be exclusive? Not anymore. Sort of like Boy/Girl Scouts.

Thats the problem with the world these days. Reading comprehension is fading away.

How many members will you loose over that...???

Some of the hardcore guys are pretty upset. Depending on how much foreign involvement we have, quite a few.

 

[Nazgul]

If you treat all your new members this way, I am surprised you have any.

Well, Bye...

I do this all the time. But of course I have a toaster over instead of a regular toaster.

I suppose that explains why I am unable to find a "PM" feature. This forum is a bit different from others I have experienced.

Years of using the term "PM" at work. It is what it is.

You really are a crotchety old member. You have offered no help at all, just criticism.

Oh yeah. You're going to fit right in!

When we rolled out in the mountains the group was mixed HD and metric. Good folks all of them.
Thing about a group or a club is letting new people in and learning to ride with them. We had a set group we rode with in town. We were known to the locals as all the HD's were "STUPID" fast. Lots of folks wanted to ride with us. But we limited who was allowed in the group. `````

I see people use the term "DM" on facebook, which I guess means "direct message". We use the term "IM" at work, which means "instant message", but even that really means "Skype message". It's all so confusing these days. But yeah, PM seems to have been the standard for a long time.

Almost any "tech-related" posts here on INGO contain so many acronyms that it totally goes over my head. "Did you check to see if your XBM was communicating with your GDS? What about your RGT? Did your CGT match your RQX?" Well, you get the point.

My usual response is

Yes! It’s a pain! Literally only replying to get my post count up. The person on marketplace who I can’t reply to might miss out on a sale

Oh I wouldn't worry about it to much. The great Zamboni sees a hammer in the future.

 

[actaeon277]

"might miss out on a sale".

The classifieds are a "perk", but not the purpose of this forum.
If no one buys the gun, it will either still be there, or be sold to a dealer, or a private sale else ware.
If the gun is bought by someone else, then he would still have made a sale.
If the gun is bought by someone else, then you will still have other weapons/items to choose from.
They make guns and other stuff every day.
There are "deals" every day.

 

[nipprdog]

OK. Enough peoples.

Why is this out of date new guy. What does not fit this Forum. It is perfectly clear.

In order to participate in the classifieds section, you must have a quality post count of 50 or more

You can also bypass the 50 posts by BECOMING A SITE SUPPORTER HERE: https://www.indianagunowners.com/account/upgrades

This policy is in place to help weed out scammers/spammers and gives our members a chance to get a feel for you as a board member. Do not attempt to gain access to the classifieds by posting a bunch of "one-liners". That will not work. Thank you and enjoy the classifieds!

Remember the classifieds are a PERK for CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS. This is either by posting on a somewhat regular basis* outside of the classifieds or by becoming a Site Supporter. We are no longer letting members get their minimum post requirement and then spend the rest of their time selling in the classifieds without supporting the site that allows them to do so.

(* "regular basis" is at the staff's discretion)

in his defense, frontier wasn't trying to access the classys. see post 2329 and 2334. he was just wanting to pm someone some info

Let the seniors yell about people not reading while themselves not reading. It lends some irony to the whole thing.

Well as much as it a pain, myself and a WHOLE lot of members here wont' even give you a second look about a sale/purchase.

You see what you don't understand, besides this being a forum first and foremost, we use your posts to determine if you are a worthy individual to sell to if we are selling. Because a Photo ID, License to carry isn't a automatic sell in my book.

Have a nice day and enjoy your stay here for ever how long or short it is.

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

Yeah, but it's a crotchetyness I've come to love; it's an acquired taste.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say this is the WORST time to use the phrase "acquired taste."

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

People just love to "complain" about rules and hate being told "NO". We had a HOG (Harley Owners Group) meeting last night. Only have a couple rules, first is, as the name states, must have a Harley. Well, the do-gooders said that hurts some people's feelings so now it's open to foreign bikes. Really ticks me off.

Sorry for the rant and derailment.

Hafbog has a nice ring to it.
