He also made pink marines and armored vehicles look good.

His true scale terminators were delicious. Does anyone have any pictures of those stashed somewhere?

Or maybe it's not irony. Maybe it's just honesty?

You seem like a pretty honest dude, Klueless. That's good.

It must be honesty because i don't understand why it would be ironic..... Maybe I'm just stupid. You don't get a name like Klueless for no reason....
Must be the Irish in me!

No offence taken taken Iorek. I am still kinda new to the site & past legends are somewhat of mystery to me.
Thanks for filling me in on the subject.

This thread is so adorable!

I'm a fan of the whole track thingie. Good luck in your posting endeavors Klueless! Post at least 5 times a day and maybe you'll be a big strong genestealer in no time!

Iorek wrote:We have seen other users do this, though, and just wanted to make sure you knew about it.

I forget whether it was this board, or another one, but there was a user who was obsessed with upping his post count, and made a real pain of himself but never broke any rules, so the mods were reluctant to to issue any official reprimand. Finally, one of them went with the simplest solution - reset his post count to 0 and lock it there.

HA,HA,HA! I think i might have to jack my job in to sit on my computer all day talking to strangers about Warhammer!
Thanks..... That was a nice msg.

There's only one way to respond to that, but it would create an endless cycle of confusion and... is there a word for the emotion you feel when facepalming?

OMG! That would be probably the worst thing that could happen! I don't want to be a nuisance to anyone......
I guess I'll just shut my mouth & take the lonely walk up the ladder as a lowly gaunt.... :(
I appreciate all the reply's to my post though!
Thanks to all.

All these abbreviations & acronym's are somewhat confusing to me.

He was a fantastic modeler and painter. But he was a poor business man. I dont know who else, but he still owes me a bunch of sisters I sent for painting ages ago.

Oh my..... The legend crumbles..... I guess in the words of Batman, "you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villan...... LoL!
Keep the faith......

Is this the same Clousseau that did the LR style rhions? Built me some of them, nice stuff.

Wasn't that Lunahound? AAAHHHH I kid, I kid! She's alright.

Protip: your avatar does not determine your gender.

So are you telling us she's not female? 'Cause that's what I heard.

so all these people with manly avatars are actually the elusive female gamer, eh

I acsidentaly did that in my first few days. But i am cured now.

Protip: Knowing she's a female does determine her gender

Actually, it must've been another board, because IIRC, there were privileges attached to post count. 50 posts before you could edit, and the span to like, 100 or 200 posts was your probationary period. Once you'd hit that and proven yourself a mature and responsible poster, you had full access to all the forums.

Protip: When one uses the feminine pronoun to refer to oneself, it is then generally polite for others to also use it when speaking of that person.

Lessthanpro-tip: Ok, I personally still don't believe it, but I don't have a decent argument to offer. I'll believe it when she posts a picture of herself with a zucchini on her head holding a 40k miniature in each hand.

I think you're on the wrong site captain if you're looking for people to post photos that conclusively prove thier gender.........

So unless they provide pictures, anyone who self identifies as gender classification: 'female' on this board should still be referred to as 'he?'

Dude, you've got issues.

Seriously, you stuck your foot in your mouth. The correct course of action then is to go, 'oops, ha-ha, I guess sometimes there actually ARE girls on the internet.' The correct course of action is NOT to keep swallowing.

How exactly did my conversation about Dakka ratings get into a gender battle between people that have probably never met????
More random than the 'facepalming' pictures......

Yes, let's stop this nonsense before mistressofminis turns up and spanks us.

Klueless wrote:More random than the 'facepalming' pictures......

There was nothing random about the facepalming pictures, dude. But it's all good, everyone was new here once.

Yeah, at least you didn't threadnecro your first three posts like some of us.

/shame

You seem like a pretty clued/Klued up person to me (no pun intended) Can you have a look at my most recent post about categorizing models & see if you can help?
Thanks. Don't worry if your too busy.

Seriously, you do seem pretty honest. I may have 'face-palmed' too acerbically and prematurely.

Acerbically is not in the dictionary, what the hell does it mean?
ac-er-bic-ally?
I hope that all these messages don't count as me 'threadnecroing' as someone above has mentioned.

Looking back, I have reached the conclusion that she actually is a girl. My apologies.

The incidence which I was remembering where she admitted to being a guy was actually someone else on a different site, so despite your moronic response, I admit I was wrong.

I would apologize to Lunahound, but last time I apologized she continued to flame me anyway, so my apologies are to everyone whose time I've wasted here. Sorry folks.

acerbic means acidic. Or thereabouts.

Threadnecroing is posting on a thread that has had no posts for about two weeks.

I love you, man! I think you are honestly becoming one of my favorite Dakkites!

It's actually just acerbic, but essentially just means I was being harsh (or somewhat of an a-hole).
