Need a part for a PC or Mac? PM me, I\'ll let you know if I come across it.

OS X trumps Windows on every level.

MorphOS, OS4 and Classic Amiga systems are the only ones who are real \'Amigas\', not that joke AROS or Amiga Forever.

Will it also be mandatory for all users to make their own Amiga-related song? :)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cml_YsTznRU

Will there be an accompanying moratorium on being banned as well?  I'm certain I have a few things I could get off my chest.

I think any web forum should adopt that policy. One day a year, you can say anything you damn well want, with no consequence.

Youtube would reverse this policy to read "one day a year, you can't be a raging ****skull"

Hey, if Transition hasn't banned me, after my helping to fudge up the Timberwolf thread, then you can be assured it takes a fair amount of bad behavior to get banned.
Even mentioning Tedd's name hasn't gotten me even a warning message.

Lets face it, you have to be a real ass to get banned here.

I think we need to learn some life essential skills...   Like the Art of Trolling!  Clearly we don't have what it takes to get banned.

I found a professional guide, I couldn't find a basic guide so lets shoot straight up to intermediate level..

http://www.fantasy-mmorpg.com/forums/general-discussion/5871-trolling-101-guide-intermediate-trolling.html  

Hopefully we should be able to learn how to get banned successfully :) :) :)

or we could just start praising the Atari ST, I think enough of that talk we surely will get banned :)
