Look, ma: new forum!

[Micah Cohen]

Okay! This forum software promises to be da bomb. (Is that phrase still hip, or am I totally out of it?) No more squishy posts, no more unreadable threads.

With this new forum, it's easy to edit your posts if you make a mistake; simple to give yourself a fun personal "signature"; a snap to choose which forums and even which forum members you prefer as "favorites" (you can set up "buddy lists" to find out when your friends are online -- or set it up so you can "lurk" anonymously), and you can even keep track of how many posts you post (there will be no prizes, alas).

To do all that, click on PROFILE above the navigation structure right up there on the left.

Let's all keep in mind that this is a chance to begin again. To right past wrongs. To reinvent ourselves. To be forgiven for past transgressions. To make amends and start over. You get what I'm saying, right? I don't have to draw you a pitcher, do I? Let's all just get along.

Most of all, HAVE FUN!

Micah

[RuSsMaN]

Great, now we look like every other forum out there....and you can't tell who is replying to who....

Man, let me get something clear RIGHT now...

NO ONE, I mean NO FRIGGIN ONE better put those stupid ass smileys in a post to me, I'll reach through the screen and throttle ya!!

Cheers,
Russ

[TroyD]

....and I was wearing my helmet at my desk (thanks, Russ)

Micah,

....go on vacation, come back, re-invent the wheel.
Did you get some or what??

Troy

[RuSsMaN]

No private msgs, my name is all lowercase....

Justin Justin Justin.....

Anywho, hey Fab, I mean Micah, I put YOU on MY buddy list.

Hey buddy!

Cheers,
Russ

Justin, fix my damn name or I'm going to jump up and down and yell like a 2yr old.

[-justin-]

Happy now? (i already know the answer to that one)

~JB

[RuSsMaN]

Stagger it...RuSsMaN

Get your shift key on JuStIn...


and thank you, now I can stop jumping....

[TroyD]

I dunno if I like being refered to as a Polkie. I vehemently insist on being a Polk-er only.

Troy

[RuSsMaN]

Whats that troydion? I always known ya as 'Troy'....

Yeah, I'm not hip on being a 'Polkie'. Sounds to feminine.

Justin is probably shaking his head going 'why me'......

Cheers,
Russ

[Ron-P]

Cool:cool:

Peace Out~:D

[TroyD]

Yeah, what's up wit dat J? I kind of liked being Troy. This troydion guy can be a real arse.

When I think of Polkie I think of either a Sci-Fi character or a "reciever" if you catch my drift. Rather not be associated with either column......

[RuSsMaN]

...Maybe Justin will give us access to that 'field' in our preferences.....

Justin, fix troydionsanders name man, JEEEEZ

Cheers,
Russ

[-justin-]

Sorry, there is already another registered user with the name Troy. If I gave you that option, it would probably get messy. But I would be more than happy to make it something else.

~JB

[TroyD]

troydionsanders ?!?

oh,man please Justin, let me be me again.....

[wangotango68]

just when you get uesd to the other one the man changes it on you.

scott

[RuSsMaN]

Access to the 'Polkie' thingie...

[TroyD]

c'mon guys help me out here.....I'm not used to travelling in cognito....how about.....TroyD...would that work?

[-justin-]

Just when you think people will stop complaining WHAM, more complaints. :)

You'll get used to this one.

Troy: Thought you wanted the name "Troy", sorry about that. I changed it to the one you wanted.

Lata,

~JB

[TroyD]

ooopss...fat fingers...

[RuSsMaN]

Man, sorry Troy, I didn't think he would read my post like that

[TroyD]

no biggie, call me whatever ya like. Just pulling your chain.

[Micah Cohen]

Also, just so's you know, the little "Polkie" appellation (sound of scrambling for dictionaries) will change as you post more and more. Nifty, huh? Someday, you may be a "Polk Master."

MC

[RuSsMaN]

We've all been bumped down to Private, first class.....George is going to be thrilled....

Where are our Strength, Dexterity and Speed ratings?

Cheers,
Russ

[-justin-]

Looks like you won't have any trouble moving up in the ranks there Private.

~JB

[TroyD]

I can live with that...at least I am not Tony Rome...I hope you had fun with that one Russ...

I don't wanna be Polkie..WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[RuSsMaN]

And I WET MY BED AGAIN

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
uh uh uh
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[TroyD]

I am an ambitious guy, I want to be promoted....I want to be Polkahontas.

Private Parts

[RuSsMaN]

That was greatness, wonder what the magic number is? 10 would be too easy. I'm shootin for Polk Bunyan.

Cheerios,
Russ (the bed wettin' polkie)

[TroyD]

for my Duck Tape....If I am gonna be a Polkie, I ain't taking no chances.....

I am a pretty big guy so if anyone has any ideas, proceed with caution.

You don't suppose this is all payback for the Fabio thing to you??

Troy

[RuSsMaN]

.....could be payback....

I don't know whether or not I got promoted or demoted. At least I'm not a 'Polkie' any more......

Nanner Nanner NA-NER

R

[TroyD]

George? nah, doesn't have the build for it.....

10, couldn't be.

I know Fabio (Polkemon) and Justin are just laughing thier asses off at our expense.....

Troy

[TroyD]

I am about to throw down a tantrum of epic proportions. How come Russ isn't a Polkie and I still am, what the heck???

Maybe I will act really immature and offended and threaten to leave the forum or:

I WILL THREATEN TO HOLD MY BREATH UNTIL I BUY A BOSE ACOUSTIMASS SYSTEM !!!!!!

Troy

[RuSsMaN]

....Micah's 'lets get into it post'?

All tryin to change the subject.....I was going to bomb over there, but figured I'd let it ride, or let someone else go first...

I just wish Polkio (MC) would put a catch phrase in his signature that actually applied DIRECTLY to audio, or even something funny....not just a 'brown nose marketing catch line' to show the 'big boys' when they ask 'how is the new forum working, lets see some posts'

Cheers,
Russ

[TroyD]

but I am not standing for brown nosing of any sort until I am no longer a Polkie (think they might get the hint?)

I figure the first day is a write-off anytime you start up a new system so I say "bombs away!"

Troy

[TroyD]

I am happy now.....

You've been great, I will be here all week, Thank You and GOODNIGHT!

Troy

[RuSsMaN]

a pretty big guy, I love it.

I wish mine could be 'SuperFly TNT'......

TroyD, what M and J don't understand is that Paul and Ken sent us the emails reminding us to try to load the new system up, and write our performance reviews of how M and J handle it all....

No more free lunches....

Cheers,
Russ

[jeffeb3]

they are probably setting you back to zero everytime you post

[jeffeb3]

how did the software know RuSsMaN was a pain in the ass? -JK-

[TroyD]

M and J have bee pretty quiet, though I suspect that they love all this new found control over us cogs in the machine....


STOP THE PRESSES!

I just figured out who I want to be: SHAFT

yeah baby!

Troy

[jeffeb3]

I don't know what it does but now I'm a subscriber to this forum

[TroyD]

Jeff,

That is MISTER Pain in the Ass.

A Pretty big guy

[RuSsMaN]

It has been sorta spooky-quiet in the last few minutes.....perhaps they are going over their evil plot to detroy us.....


OR

They had to make a Wendy's run for Paul.

Cheers,
Russ

[jeffeb3]

maybe they are making more of their socks crusty:eek:

[TroyD]

at ABC liquors for a bottle of John Daniels.......

I say keep at it till Big Bro' pulls the plug.....

SHAFT (yeah, I really like that)

[RuSsMaN]

........making EACH OTHERS socks crusty!!!!!!


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[jeffeb3]

I don't know about this page thing..I kinda like the huge long posts/reply list

[TroyD]

Russ,
Reading that last post is like opening the Tupperware in the very back of the fridge.......ICK!

SHAFT

[RuSsMaN]

I need to 'report this post to moderator'.

SuperFly TNT

[TroyD]

I'm going to delete some files.....

SHAFT

[TroyD]

I thought I was no longer a Polkie but " a pretty big guy" what is up with that?

SHAFT

[RuSsMaN]

We are all Polkies again. I tell ya, we are getting HOSED here man...

Cheers,
Russ

[TroyD]

I bet I wouldn't get called a Polkie on the Bose website, I suppose we would just be Poked.

Power to the People
SHAFT(ed)

[jrausch]

This would be the record.:D

[Devildog]

I think I saw a ghost.:lol:

[TroyD]

Man, you guys should have been here when they converted to the new forum software....it was like 'whoa, WTF was that?!?"

BDT

[mantis]

It took awhile for this style to grow on me.I didn't care for it at first........

[madmax]

I actually didn't post for a long time because I was uncomfortable with the new style. The older one was very nice for me. I wonder what I would think about it now? When I first saw this post I said NOT AGAIN. Then I said #^%$^@#$%&%$&%^@#.
madmax

[gidrah]

Wow! A new Forum? I can't wait.

[mantis]

I just got to the point of liking this one..........now they want to change it again..........it's not broken is it???

[jrausch]

They just changed this, WTF!!!! :supermad: . I'm in agreement with Mantis. This forum works very well. Why do people feel the need to change things if they work fine the way they are? I suppose they feel the need to have something that blocks all content like the new AOL and MSN. I think they should have an age limit here anyway and block off access to this forum for anyone under 18!!. :D

[madmax]

Reading more than just the last few posts is pretty important on this site. I learned that a LONG time ago!
madmax :)

[RuSsMaN]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Excellent point Chuck, buzzed the tower on this one.

Cheers,
Russ

[gidrah]

Don't spoil the fun.

[Devildog]

You never know what you're going to get when you conjure something up. The Hildebeast conjured up Eleanor Roosevelt and now look what you've done, jRausch! We may need an exorcism before some heads start spinning and I get pea soup all over my monitor. Great post jRausch. You get more than just one award for this one.:cool:

[shack]

This is all Troy's fault!

Whoa, talk about reviving a thread from the past. That's GOT to be some kind of record.

[TroyD]

This is all Troy's fault!

If I only had a nickle for every time I've heard THAT phrase. :rolleyes:


BDT

[mantis]

But it is all Troy's fault..............

[F1nut]

Dan,

You mean to tell me that you're willing to give him that much power!?!

[TroyD]

This was the first post when the forum went to the current version. Seems to get brought back up whenever there is a change to the forum.

I also thought since today is Fabio, er, Micah's last day, a fitting tribute. Micah brought a real sense of community to Polk Audio rather than it being just another corporate giant. I for one, hope that spirit will continue.
