Re: PTP - Pass the Popcorn
@Idol: I had forgotten he could act. His continued "career" has pushed his prior roles to the realm of the lost. Thanks for the reminder- he's been in a lot of good roles, much to my surprise.
I'm kind of fond of his work in this old commercial dating back to shortly after his brain-damaging, helmet-less, motorcycle accident:

Since I was looking for someone who had more talent than Haim or Busey, I MUST deny the OP his request. :shifty:
May gawd have mercy on your sole, you untalented actor-type*. :snooty:
*And enjoy your new account to PtP. :happy:
Re: PTP - Pass the Popcorn
Yea, I'll admit my request for PTP was pretty lame and contradictory to what I would otherwise say is appropriate. However, I am able to backup and justify my claim for such trackers. :) If someone had otherwise shown me the same proof/history I'd say otherwise. (And when they had, I'd invite them in secret :) ) With the turmoil FST had been dealing with in the past, I am unaware of the situation currently, I was definitely much more cautious.
Back in the early stages of ScT, FTWR, FTN etc.. etc.. everyone wanted an invite. It was pretty insane when more than half the threads on the request section was about those sites. Not to mention, the mods were always lurking around here!
I'm content with the trackers I currently have but couldn't find a decent copy of 'Jingle All The Way' on FTN or TL! :) Glad to see PTP has ample copies!
BTW, my acting is more along the lines of the 'Troll 2' actors. :lol:

Troll 2? We watch that daily around here. :w00t:
You sure you can't stick around for a bit?... :cry:

Hmmm, in that case I may stick around a bit longer! :) Of course I'll always lurk but am also always available through PMs and whatnot!
Re: PTP - Pass the Popcorn
I wish there was a tracker I wanted to get into, just show I could show people how to do a proper request.

While I appreciate effort being put into a request, I am more of a "big picture" kind of guy. Honestly, Torn's history here presented him as a good guy who found himself interested in the community. Got somewhat taken into the joys of being invited (be honest, it feels good to be "accepted", doesn't it?), recognized that as a dead-end, and moved away from much of the community, but has maintained occasional contact for the content. To me, this is rather healthier than becoming power-mad and staffing on a dozen sites, and rejecting people on IRC.
He has never been an excessive braggart, a troll, trader, or tracker fanboy.
And, very much to his credit, he contacted me after he received the invite. We exchanged a couple PMs as he was curious about the lives, and deaths, of trackers that had disappeared since he was gone. While it appears as if I was lax on my decision here, in fact, Torn has met with the sorts of markers I do look for in my invitees.
As for you, Macky, I was intending to give you an invite to Neptoons- even with the very high likelihood that you would challenge several of their staff members to a naked knife fight to the death within the first week. That is the sort of marker I look for in a friend. :happy:

You don't remember already inviting me? I already joined and got into with some of the staff. Seeing as to how corpses can't effectively run a tracker, they're having trouble keeping it open. By bringing me in, you destroyed their tracker. My conscience is clean, and bloodlust sated, but clearly you must be having some kind of psychological issue with it, seeing as your memory is lapsing.
Oh, my issue with requests is that they seem to fall into two categories: scumbag/idiots and sincere pacifists. The idiots aside, so many of them seem to be made on eggshells. We're trying to locate files, not make omelets.

I tried not to hold the fact that he was searching for Jingle All the Way against him. Perhaps I was a bit too forgiving... :ermm:

Invite me someplace faggot*. As to were it hardly matters as it should be painfully obvious that I have no concerns about the quality of the site I belong to.
Obviously.
Edit. Sorry I didn't notice the scumbag/idiots part. In that case forget I asked.:)
Jingle All the Way ,the only way to put a good spin on that movie is by saying "Well at least it's the best film Sinbad's ever done":mellow:.
Anyway according to IMDB people who liked Jingle also like Inspector Gadget and George of the Jungle I would have thought it a lot easier to simply write "People who like this are also retarded"?
*used in this case as a synonym for a bunch of twigs and not a slur against a particular sexual orientation as mjmakarov is clearly as bright as a piece of wood.

Are you predicting my request or asking me to invite you somewhere? Because it kind of swings both ways.
Also, wood burns, in fact it burns so well that we've used it as a fuel source for centuries, dozens perhaps (not specifically sure).

You know, there's a point on the egg that can withstand much more pressure than any other part, I'm just not sensitive enough to restrict where I'm touching these fragile people.
