Welcome, gillopez! [I finally got off the nOOb list.]

Aresen's picture

Welcome to the strange, savage world of grylliade, a troll-free environment where you can post your libertarian thoughts without being flamed more than 150 times. [In any one thread.]

One minor warning: Don't put your hand in Shem's cage.
.

And I'm finally off the nOOb list. (It's only taken you, three ghosts and a ringer.)

Don't listen to him. Aresen is just pissed off I made chicken fingers out of his left hand. What a drama queen.

so who *is* gillopez? Is this going to be anything like TheDumbFish, who showed up to post one comment arguing with smacky? (worthy endeavor though that is)

Is gillopez any relation to Gillespie?

You know, Reason has gone downhill ever since Gillespie left.

Hey, like I already said, at least I draw hecklers. How many people have you gotten to register at grylliade just to mock you? Eh? Yeah, that's what I thought!

That's the beauty of anonymous handles. We may never know, and he/she doesn't have to tell us.

We are sorry, Aresen, but you are still on the n00b list. Citizen grylliade apparently neglected his duties when last he updated the software, and allowed the user registration page to be without a CAPTCHA. We had to personally delete more than ten users who never posted, and were transparent spam accounts. Our inbox has been filled with reports of bounced e-mails to these faux users. We are most displeased with Citizen grylliade, and if he allows this to happen again he will have to report for termination.

Ooh, Citizen Grylliade. Can I be "Anticitizen One?"

So, if I understand correctly, you're saying that gillopez is a spammer who got booted out.

You know, this whole place has gone downhill since gillopez left.

Drink!

Aresen, you'll always be a n00b to me. Everyone who joined after the transition to the new site is a n00b.

*waves cane in air*

Get off my lawn!

*sigh* So I'm back on the nOOb list.

Are you sure that nOObs have to wear flippers, a codpiece, a hat with bells on it and a brassiere while posting here?

Darn you, thoreau, I so wanted to say that first!

(I never even got to see the gillopez post.)

I am so mad now that I am cancelling all my prescriptions.

Yes. Now grab that paddle and that gravity bong. And don't worry, I am sure we'll all learn a valuable life lesson before this over.

Re: Welcome, gillopez! [I finally got off the nOOb list.]

So is there a way that Grylliade can manually alter Aresen's join date, to ensure he stays on the n00b list in perpetuity?

Just out of curiosity. (Muahahahaha.)

Are custom titles unlockable? We could petition the Mod Squad to give him the rank of "Permanent NOOb"

Oooh! Put a trigger in the database to perform this "update."

Memories!

This is why having open source databases without triggers makes you think efficiently. Just make his created date '9999-12-31 11:59:59' and be done with it.

Re: Welcome, gillopez! [I finally got off the nOOb list.]

But it wouldn't be nice to make him the newest of the n00bs all the time! Aresen is the oldest of the n00bs, and should retain that honor for all time. So a trigger is appropriate. Every time a new person is added, the system looks up the join date of the fifth-most-recent join, adds one second, and assigns the new timestamp to Aresen.

Plus, then you don't just have Aresen biding his time until New Year's Day, 10,000 AD and dropping off the n00b list. He's canny like that. ;)
