I do a thing similar to Kastere's, I mean I type "o" and I'm in OWF, then I post or I read some posts and then leave, then open a new page and I go to youtube or hotmail (or facebook XD) but I come back to OWF soon...

I only come here because you fucks need me.

I need you in an entirely different capacity baby

first forum i joined, and only one at that. place where i like to unwind due to irregular working hours. and, actually, where i was taught the difference between 'your' and 'you're'. previous posts are an embarrassment because of that. oh, that and the newbie cuntshitwanker i was. yeah. that plays quite a big factor.

Oh, yeah. I don't work in an office any more. I quit that job. I work elsewhere. For the state. That's all I can really say.

i'm not an illegal alien.

just throwing that out there.

Almost every time I leave my computer, I quickly check for posts on OWF. There's a certain (e-)air about this place. I don't know what it is, but I feel like this is a second home for me. Not really a home, but something similar. I think I come here to escape from whatver I should be doing and to talk with people who are different. People who can make me laugh, wonder or give out very good advice.

OWF is also my homepage.:D

Mac Sirloin 01-10-2010 08:45 AM

I just can't bring myself to set OWF as my homepage. I have before, and when I did I wouldn't post here for some reason. Also I use native, so big-ass picture of Abe when I open my browser and am hanging out with people? No thanks.

I remember you doing it and sometimes being mock because of it :) you were a regular newbie but then you grew your importance and influence on others and then become an imaginary mod... aaaaah the history... everyone outclassed me here!

from other thread but i'm avoiding an infraction;

This is me. I'm an asshole. That's not to say I'm verbally abusive towards my wife. I just refuse to walk through life, treating every fuck as my buddy. My friendship is earned, not given. Also, friends or no, if something stupid is said, I will probably laugh. Or mock. Which goes back to me going to being an asshole.

this a kajillian times. it bugs the shit out of me when people make a snarky comeback about this just being an online persona/front; its how i am in life, and for the above reasons, and for good reason. too much time spent with farmers. they're a cunts, that is true. it rubs off on you.

EDIT: don't be silly, AiN, you're not outclassed. that's impossible. love you always.

Ha. It's nothing that glamorous. But the branch I work for is notorious for snooping their employees online as the shit I deal with is pretty confidential [yet boring] and I just don't want to fuck this one up. Despite the bullshit, it's an easy job.

On topic:

I often find myself slightly bummed when some of my favorite users aren't posting on a regular basis. Damn you and your social lives.

Al the Vykker 01-10-2010 08:25 PM

This was the first internet forum I ever joined and really one of the first internet sites I frequently visited aside from Oddworld.com. Furthermore, I was extremely addicted to the Oddworld games and discussing them here and awaiting any scrap of information about Munch's Oddysee and the future of the series. Also like many I remained an active member because of the people here. Unfortunately, as I've gotten older and much busier with college, my career, and other things, posting here and visiting has become a rarity these days. Still, it's really hard to believe that it's almost been ten years since I first joined the forums.

Anonyman! 01-10-2010 09:06 PM

This site's too slow for me to get addicted to it. Except NOT ALWAYS

WHEN IM HERE YOU POST ONCE LIEK A DAY

THEN WHEN I LEAVE YOU ALL FUCKING JUST SIT ON YOUR GODDAMN KEYBOARDS AND HOP AND DOWN WITH GLEE AND SHIT UP THE FORUMS

YOU FUCKS DO THIS ON PURPOSE

OANST 01-11-2010 06:07 AM

You guys all need to learn about something called Tabbed Browsing, I have multiple homepages.

Wil 01-11-2010 06:52 AM

I have zero homepages. I don't lose my open tabs when I close my browser.

OANST 01-11-2010 06:54 AM

Yeah, I had it like that for a while but it's a pretty rude awakening if you've got five youtube videos playing.

MeechMunchie 01-11-2010 07:52 AM

OWF takes pride of place on my Bookmarks Toolbar. I try to get here once a day. Then I just click New Posts, read through it all, check new blogs, click NP again, and I'm off. Takes about an hour or so.

i never use the New Posts thing, myself. i just look through things the 'old fashioned' way.

and i tend to check the blogs first.

Wil 01-11-2010 09:12 AM

I only relatively recently discovered the New Posts feature. Saves so much effort, I tell you. Now I scarcely ever use the keywords I have set up for each forum and sub-forum.

Wings of Fire 01-11-2010 09:17 AM

So you used to just search your name, and read threads where people mentioned you? For shame.

OANST 01-11-2010 09:39 AM

Alcar does it all the time.

Wil 01-11-2010 10:56 AM

No, I used to just click "Mark all read" and fuck off before I got ensnared by the madness.

So do you have the about: blank thing?

Wil 01-11-2010 12:18 PM

No, I have the tabs I had when I closed the browser.

abe is now! 01-12-2010 06:55 AM

But you must have started with 0 tabs!

Wings of Fire 01-12-2010 06:58 AM

He started off with the tabs he had when he changed his settings, silly.

Wil 01-12-2010 08:41 AM

Yeah, it's not the default setting, so my first tab was probably the "Welcome to the latest version of Firefox" tab.

MA 01-12-2010 08:52 AM

my tab still hasn't been paid.

Rex Tirano 01-12-2010 09:13 AM

I'm the same as Al. I joined this forum when I was 11 and spent they majority of my prepubescant years on here, Oddchat or talking on MSN to members from here.

I infrequently visit now due to having a job and being at uni but this is an e-home for me.

*Sigh* If only I had a life during my teenage years...

Wil 01-12-2010 10:11 AM

I'm the same as Al and Rexy. WHY AM I STILL HERE?

She lives too far away to have sex with you.

And she is about 5 years older than me also. Why the hell would I want it?

Wil 01-12-2010 01:23 PM

REXY ISN'T OLD, SHUT UP.

No, I think he's saying that she's too young for him. What with him recently propositioning someone 12 years older than him here on the forums.

abe is now! 01-13-2010 08:18 AM

lol come one guys, you know I'm not so pervert I want to have sex with every girl in the world of every age!
