Man,

WTF is up with all these infomercials? Im not usually up a this hour of the morning, but damn. I have full cable TV and 128 channels all have infomercials on them.

I remember when cable TV first came out. It was touted as "comercial free TV"

I now have 1028 channels ans 900 of them are pay per view. Hmmnn, arent I already paying to view?

Even HBO CINEMAX SHOWTIME all have commercials about new movies & current events.

I swear if it wasnt for Discovery, TLC, and Spike I would cancel the whole deal.

Oh I forgot internet access. $45 bucks a month so I can type this random BS on the internet.

They're spam. I, along with the current mods have to ban tons of shit like that everyday. What happens is, if they get on your site they improve their rating on search engines or so I understand.

By the way, how come I dont see you on here as often as you used to be? I kinda miss you, you, me, and Ricer-X were the first guys on here and now it seems the old crew fell asleep.....

I guess some of us old timers wilt away and let the kids take the site..

I know a few of the members here cross over to xterrafirma, so I thought I would have a look, I don't know if it's just the way I am used to doing things here, or what but that site isn't very user friendly.....to me anyways
