Sure, I don't mind.

Come on AFG, we need to assimilate more people.

What do you mean you couldn't get it to update? You just save it to your PC and then upload it using the "change my picture" option in your profile section. I can't change it for you, that's an admin-only thing

^Are you serious or just being funny? I can't tell....

I think shadow is really reynod.

Your really boosting ol shadow's ego there ... he isn't me tho.

I have no alter ego.

wysiwyg

Points?

Is this a game now?

This is so retarded,

better mope to Justin.

W00t! 17th b day today!

I'm a "Scout" now? ROFLMAO! (New title might be ticking over a bit slowly for me)

FYI, "Forum Master" was a title suggested by me way back in the old days. Lame I know, but people didn't seem to mind. *shrugs*

[EDITED]NM, I figured how this all works out now.
If the new system works truly the way it's meant to work then theoretically I'd be racking up the points system in no time. Afterall, knowledge is something you can't buy.

/ammends random's academic results .... heh heh.

Lord wusy is a Newbie ... that's just wrong.

Jeez random, PM Justin and ask him to shift wusy to a regular at least ... thats just frigging insulting.

While your at it change me to a regular too.

Scout ... I hate scouts.

Wannabe is also very insulting.

We will bow before you oh great n00b ... heh heh.

Mebbe random can change you to "Born again Newbie"

wusy reincarnated.

Damn ... that sux.

Heard the Tsunami fizzled for you over there on the East coast.

Safer here than going to China.

Can we have Hu back please?

Otherwise the spot price for iron ore is all your getting from us now ... no more contracts.

Korea and Japan signed at 28 and 33% of last years price ... no way in hell your getting 40%.

Fcukin roguing shrimps ...

Spot price on iron ore now $91 ... LOL ... tossers.

In a couple of months at this rate we can pay the US to steal him back for us.

^OK I have no idea what's going on.

jd we will have to naturalise you as an Aussie if you want to keep posting and there is the matter of the Migration test.

An insight to Australians...

A DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO AUSSIES
1. The bigger the hat, the smaller the farm.
2. The shorter the nickname, the more they like you.
3. Whether it's the opening of Parliament, or the launch of a new art gallery, there is no Australian event that cannot be improved by a sausage sizzle.
4. If the guy next to you is swearing like a wharfie he's probably a media billionaire. Or on the other hand, he may be a wharfie.
5. There is no food that cannot be improved by the application of tomato sauce.
6. On the beach, all Australians hide their keys and wallets by placing them inside their sandshoes. No thief has ever worked this out.
7. Industrial design knows of no article more useful than the plastic milk crate.
8. All our best heroes are losers (Chuck Norris, Neil Armstrong and Mel Gibson excused).
9. The alpha male in any group is he who takes the barbecue tongs from the hands of the host and blithely begins turning the snags.
10. It's not summer until the steering wheel is too hot to hold.
11. 11. A thong is not a piece of scanty swimwear, as in America, but a fine example of Australian footwear. A group of sheilas wearing black rubber thongs may not be as exciting as you had hoped.
12. It is proper to refer to your best friend as "a total bastard". By contrast, your worst enemy is "a bit of a bastard".
13. Historians believe the widespread use of the word "mate" can be traced to the harsh conditions on the Australian frontier in the 1890s, and the development of a code of mutual aid, or "mateship". Alternatively, Australians may just be really hopeless with names.
14. The wise man chooses a partner who is attractive not only to himself, but to the mosquitoes.
15. If it can't be fixed with pantyhose and fencing wire, it's not worth fixing.
16. The most popular and widely praised family in any street is the one that has the swimming pool.
17. It's considered better to be down on your luck than up yourself.
18. The phrase "we've got a great lifestyle" means everyone in the family drinks too much.
19. If invited to a party, you should take cheap red wine and then spend all night drinking the host's beer. (Don't worry, he'll have catered for it).
20. If there is any sort of free event or party within a hundred kilometres, you'd be a mug not to go.
21. The phrase "a simple picnic" is not known. You should take everything you own. If you don't need to make three trips back to the car, you're not trying.
22. Unless ethnic or a Pom, you are not permitted to sit down in your front yard, or on your front porch. Pottering about, gardening or leaning on the fence is acceptable. Just don't sit. That's what backyards are for.
23. The tarred road always ends just after the house of the local mayor.
24. On picnics, the Esky is always too small, creating a food versus grog battle that can only ever be resolved by leaving the salad at home.
25. When on a country holiday, the neon sign advertising the motel's pool will always be slightly larger than the pool itself.
26. The men are tough, but the women are tougher.
27. The chief test of manhood is one's ability to install a beach umbrella in high winds.
28. Australians love new technology. Years after their introduction, most conversations on mobile phones are principally about the fact.
29. There comes a time in every Australian's life when he/she realizes that the Aerogard is worse than the flies.
30. And, finally, don't let the tourist books fool you. No-one EVER says "cobber" to anyone ... EVER! It also doesn't have the bit about the true test for immigration to Australia.

They give potential new Aussies the following test:
Mowing a sloping lawn (at least 20 degree angle) in a pair of thongs holding a VB while watching the cricket. If you can't pass that, chances are you will never be able to pass yourself off as a true Aussie.

Thanks to Brian!

@ Randomizer+ AFG+ others

I read ur posts and some of you said that u still are in school, i though this site was run by adults not teens, how old are most people here? When i joined in Feb i thought i was the youngest but now i think i might be the average age on TH. Any way Randomizer how did you get to be moderator?

Wait till you see my last urban legend account... (Before it got destroyed by an [unnamed] mod, unfortunately)
Up to 50posts/day during my young days got me that far. Now it's more like 10-12posts/day.

I'm at university and yes I'm probably the youngest "staff member" of the site. If you're >13 then you're not the youngest person here because we do occasionally get kids building $2k rigs with daddy's credit card. As for the last question, I don't remember exactly. There were a number of concurrent events that lead to me being a moderator, but one reason is that I've been here for too damn long (but not nearly as long as old farts like wuzy).

@Randomizer, I am 13 so i guess i might middle aged

Com'on, I'm not that old! Although I did start on this forum @13 as well.
Like only 3yrs older (assuming you're 19) than you.


... actually I do feel kinda old, relatively.

Jeez ... I watched man land on the moon and I was 4.

When I was 21 I serviced military electronic hardware and visited places for free in a C130 sitting in webbing seats ... and worked on some really cool stuff.

When I was 13 I simply recall being scared the world was going to end as the US and USSR were not getting on very well.

Are we going to make jd an honorary Aussie?

I am thinking of the "appropriate trial" we will need to concoct random (and others) ... ideas?

Vegemite on toast should do it ...

yeah ...

Jeez ... this is our "Unofficial" Aussie THG Site ... since they won't give us a mirror of our own yet.

Hopefully in about 10 years we will hear back from someone in France ...

The ship takes a while to get there I hear ...

Currently most of my tech mates are at Anandtech forums ...

I am patient ... well actually I am a therapist but thats another story too.

Just to add off topic, i was looking at all of your avatars and i just wanted say that i have the best.

Being a kiwi for >14yrs now I still never quite understood why people want to taste the funkiness of Vegemite & Marmite. Funky tasting soy sauce describes it the best.

I prefer lightly salted margarine.
