Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.

Err...I suppose this would be a bad time to point out Cobra has been severely reprimanded for spamming in this thread, only to have the people who reprimanded him do...this?

The difference being that I knew Skippy could split the thread once he'd had a laugh at the joke and that I hoped Skippy would find it amusing enough to be worth the effort.

Hell I was going to wait a day or two and then split it off myself.


The problem with Cobra is not that he spams once or twice. It's that he constantly does it for very little reason. I've never had a problem with allowing small amounts of off topic to slip by on the grounds that it's good for the community to feel they can laugh and joke with each other.

Had Cobra posted the above instead of me I'd have left it in place and congratulated him on making me laugh.

It was from the Skippy's Campaign List thread.

Skippy was complaining that his antispam software had stopped him getting a notification that someone had posted to his thread so he would know to do updates.

I got that part, just didn't know where it was from.  Seemed odd in the campaigns forum. :)
