hi all, just thought i'd mention something that's been bugging me a bit, i've noticed that a few ppl on this board are using gifs from internetbumperstickers.com.. i myself have gotten some amazing little gifs from that site, they seriously kick the llama's ass!.
there is only one thing: those nice guys at internetbumperstickers pay real money for the bandwidth they use, and when you guys link to their images in your sigs, that means that every unique ip that views this page (provided they are using an image-enabled browser) is going to download that image from their servers.
you might think that these tiny 2k gifs are nothing, but believe me, i was an administrator for a couple of websites, and the bandwidth adds up, and pretty soon you're paying through your nose for other people free loading.. the solution is a simple one: merely copy the files to your computer, find a server where you can stick them that allows public http access to files you can upload to it, ftp them onto the server, and then update your sigs to point to the new image location.
I think somebody here mentioned some a few days back...can't remember what the post was about tho...somebody asked for help about something. Does anyone know of people who have servers that don't cap their bandwidth like Geocities for us to put our profile piccies on? Maybe Simon could organize us a couple of kilobytes of disk space on THIS server? I mean come on Simon, the average size of these images won't even occupy an entire allocation unit on the disk drives this server runs off!

she is a devout christian and is always laughing & smiling.
can't help but love her.. if god had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
if god had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
Remember, God works in mysterious ways...ways like making people die and stuff. I don't know, I'm too stoopid to understand it, but the Governing Body does, from what I hear, so we'll just leave it up to them, k?
*hugs Julien*

This way you can help keep InternetBumperStickers up for longer (as they are apparently rapidly running out of money ), and you can still keep your sigs.
OK, maybe I should stop talking now, hehe!
Take care,

or this could be titled: "ridicule this!
" that's because the ridiculer doesn't just ridicule old men in brooklyn, or the bible, or the religion of their family; rather those so inclined ridicule reality itself.
the beauty of the truth, though, is that it is irrepressible, so much so that even some of the sons of this system can, by the power of reason, unknowingly arrive at the same conclusion jehovah forsaw centuries before.
LOL @ YouKnow!!! A 100% profit...hehe!

now if the world was covered in water was it salt water or fresh water and how did all the fish survive who were not adapted to the other type of water?
Oh well AlanF, that's my theory out the window then! Could you mail me privately about this, it's very interesting, the last time I read anything about this was a hell of a long time ago, so my memory is a bit fuzzy about it...!!!

This is actually something I never thought about, but I agree with Englishman that most fish would have pegged straight away. Pomegrenate: How the fug would those fish have ADAPTED in 40 days? (Well much less actually?) Seeing as how they would have DIED instantly when the salinity of their water changed so violently? A world flood is absolute POPPYCOCK. I'm sorry, but that's just too unbelievable.
That Christian flood article was interesting, but bogus, because of the timescales involved. Sure, I agree that fish can adapt, but it would take much longer than 40 days. We wouldn't have a very large variety of fish in the world today (or much other marine life for that matter) if the world flood really had occurred only about 4000 (or however many THOUSANDS) of years ago.
Has anyone here read the papers by some geologist who's name I've temporarily misplaced, wherein he stated that the Mediteranean (sp?) ocean was dry until about 6000 years ago, after which it was filled by the opening of the Straight of Gibralter (sp?). Maybe that would account for all the legends, seeing as how it was in the same sort of area as Noah would have been in (roughly speaking now)...?

i'm wondering if the majority here were seriously conservative squeaky clean dubs?
i took the whole thing very seriously.
there seems to be such a fun element here - i can't imagine everyone being those dull folk all decked out in their wt uniform with accompanying plastic expressions.. marilyn
I was a rebel and a half! About a year after I got baptized, I started really letting rip...slept with a couple of women, went to nightclubs (damn hard to get into them tho) and went to lots of houseparties.
I never smoke or drank tho, I just find both activites unbelievably disgusting! Sex, on the other hand...

" they run......fast!!!!!!.
Hehe, Geordie, that's fugging funny...
