    What is with these people? I have seen about 5 posts this week where people are asking others to help them break laws and aid them in committing piracy. Does any one read the damn rules before they start posting here? How can anyone be so incredibly stupid as to think a bunch of people are willing to congregate in one big place and start talking about breaking a bunch of copy right laws. I mean I could understand if this was a board for mass murders, then it would be understandable for someone to come on here and ask for help in committing a crime, but for Christ's sake people just because we burn copies of the material we already own doesn't mean we are criminals and are willing to help you on your road to becoming one too. I now there are probably a lot of people on here that have participated in file sharing and the like, but come on no one needs to ask others to help them commit a crime. I think there need to be a common sense survey when you are signing up for membership here because some of these idiots don't have the common sense God gave a door knob.

    Ok, I feel better now!

    Never underestimate the stupidity of people on the internet. Just when you think you've seen a post that breaks every rule on the forum, some clever lad will come around and post something that breaks all the rules on the forum twice :p ... just a fact of the forum I guess lol

    That brings back memories..........many a good time spent here at a/d.......
    Sometimes I think the threads where people are undoubtedly [bold]cretins[/bold] are the best for the comical value and more often than not brighten up a dull evening, and some could just be honest mistakes (those pigs are airbourne again)

    @ Praetor - do you think or know whether yourself or any of the other mods/admin have broken any rules since you joining and did you get beasted over it!!!!!!.....now don't lie.......We can use the search function....LOL

    Have a good weekend folks...............

    Not gonna comment on deatils if there are any, which I won't confirm nor deny their existence but the question becomes, what are you gonna do about it? :p (on a more serious not, I don't think I have ... I had one post that came kinda boarderline but that was well after I was a mod ... and you won't find that thread hehe). It's just common sense dude .... you're new ... do you really wanna be tellin the world that you're a software/movie/music pirate? Sure you might be a 1337 to your buddies but the distinction becomes clear when you apply that fabled concept of common sense

    In the immortal words of that great American sage, former Vice President, Dan Quayle.

    The American people would not want to know of any misquotes that Dan Quayle (or Praetor) may or may not make.

    And this one's for Nephilium.

    I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix.

    too true, too true.........

    The using the search function was a little cryptic - as most do not use..........

    The younger ones just love tellin their friends that they can do this and do that and indeed some older ones to....just to gain status and become 'in' with everyone......

    The main point as you rightly put IS common sense, go into a forum, look around, read the rules, register, and post - that simple..............but I find the generation of today are in too much of a rush and just skip the whole process - I need an answer, so sod the rules so to speak.........

    But here there is yourself and the other mods, who step in and can stop threads which start to spiral.....

    It sure would be good to open up a small Hall of fame to see MOST of the classic spannered up the threads........Maybe called Common Sense corner......

    Ya you youngings have to slllllloooooooowwwww doowwn. These systems can't handle your speed. Form the title of this I thought you were asking to be a pirate, RRR.

    I missed that thread, I don't know how. But I must aggree that when surfing through, I have seen quite a lot of want to be pirates.

    Funny though, I am not a Mac user but the number one reason why people in my lab think they suck is that you can't pirate software. I was think guys, Macs suck!! for lots of better reasons. I think you can never avoid Pirates.
