This is me trying to be serious.

Before I came here, I thought the world was a crap hole filled with evil, self-possesive morons. I thought that there was no such thing as love, friendship or purpose. That was done to me by my harsh school years.

Since arriving here, I have discovered people who speak their true mind, wether they are insane, sweet, sincere or like me, just plain mad.

I wanted to thank you, as this place taught me several things:

-Suicide is the cowards way out
-The joy of insulting politicians
-Bringing out my own humorous wit
-Having a laugh with randomness
-actually getting respect

I've laughed, i've cried. But thanks to everyone here who has supported and talked to me, i've finally come out of my shell and i'm expressing how I feel. It feels good.

If it weren't for the kindness and teachings of this site, I would most likely have commited suicide by now. Thank you. Thank you.

Thanks to all my friends from the bottom of my withered heart.

No problem, mate.

woah I feel all special for having control over the first reply in what will turn into a 'we love TIN thread'. Legend.

Helps to see things from different perspectives, yes? :)

*Goes to give TIN a hug then think the better of it*

Nah, it's good, Anime got me out of my depressive ways way back when I was at School... since then i've never looked back and been pyschotic (according to most people ever since) :D

Holy Sweet Jesus Batman! I almost thought this was your goodbye post :fluffle:

*hugs TIN*

Nice to see i'm taken seriously in this subject. I'm incredibly happy to be here. I will try to stay here as long as I can. NS is a second home.

The glue ... that or the stuff left on the inside of a tubesock ... thats pretty sticky too

This is going to sound VERY sappy, but i'm so happy with the response that i've gotten I'm struggling to hold back tears of joy.

I have so many friends here, it would be difficult to say goodbye.

man i am so weird...

I'm glad to see your perspective on life has changed.

I'm thinking of creating a similar post, perhaps the bastard child of Lindim's Why I play NS post and this one. This game has done things for me I never expected it to. Its legacy will remain long after I've logged off for the last time.

Yay! I killed my thread!

It scares me that a thread could make me so happy.

*HUGS*<-----(big hugs for TIN, note the multiple denomination)

I'm glad to hear that you're feeling happy TIN, sometimes even the slightest modicum of hapiness is all we can ask for in this harsh world. It makes me feel good to think someone else has found that. :)

And now .... MONKEYS!

good point. very few people could feel depressed while looking at monkeys who are smiling and doing nothing particularly macabre.

Really cool that. im still at school and hate it. but one question isnt insaneness and madness the same thing? Or are they differing degrees of insanity? Well im kind of mad so whatever. its good that we can speak our minds here.

Dogs rule. :D

COLLEGE. And don't get me started. All the hoots and jeers from the chavs are annoying.

Right.....its nice to know you TIN as a fellow NS roleplayer and as a good friend of mine. And if you ever leave NS again, i swear i will hunt you down (with the help of TMG) and tie you to a chair and force you to use the computer.

Don't give up. It surely can't be that I keep you going. Hang in there, i'm sure you'll be ok without me.

If I have to save up for a PC, i will probably have to wait a year. in that time my entrusted holder will probably quit themselves. If I leave it will be for good.

Ok, what the hell happened here?

right so, time to go home and get some food.

You'll have to cope. Life always seeks to destroy friendships... I've learned that as I go through life. All my friends have moved away, or even died. :(

I learned eventually to cope with it, and now I no longer fear being alone.

where does TIN live again? my parents also have a couple of old pc's knocking about... if he's in the UK he can have one of those easy enough too (especially now i have a car :) )

Wow I don't even know you and I'm new to this and that really touched me. It was nice to hear of your honesty and not be ashamed to speak it. You will go far and be happy in your life and remember to stay honest to yourself. We all have our downs, but alot of us won't admit how down we really are. I actually attempted to commit suicide and let me tell ya........its no fun. And afterwards you just cant stop wondering why in the heck you did it.......why why why!!!!

I too am glad to be alive. Oh and your 'sappy' music is really nice too. It's ok to be sappy sometimes.

I just want to say you go.........and almost want to get emotional over it all. Thank you too for who you are.

hell, i am probably more than most, but i have to keep it in, which sucks :(

i sympathise with the suicide thing. while we're being open, i tried it a few months back, but stopped when the pain got too much (was sliting wrists :( ) and i felt pretty stupid about it for ages after.
you'll like it here on NS - i'm nearly always cheered up just by looking around here :)

Yea actually my attempt was not to succeed but to get attention I think. To be brutally honest. If I wanted to succeed at it.........we all know we could. Cuz when I look back, I would never want to leave until its my time. Not when I think I've had enough or........blah blah blah. It also happened as doctors thought they had to drug me up with this and that. And now that I'm off everything.........I am much better.........sometimes anti-depressants and such do worse harm than good.

And TIN, I'm sorry I kinda got off track on your thread. Just sympathise (is that a word?) that's all and know how you feel.

I wouldn't worry about it, most threads go way off topic anyway

:fluffle:

:fluffle:
they start off topic :p

It is true what TIN says though.......we can be serious, open, honest, brutal, silly, nuts, crazy, insane or whatever you may and it USUALLY comes back to respecting others honest opinions and such. USUALLY. Just nice to know most people don't take too much to heart. At first I use to, but learned otherwise.

Thanks again TIN for your words to us and reminding us of alot.

And now I finally read through everything in the thread and what the flip? TIN we will tie you up in the NS chambers and give you a computer and no leaving. Just make sure you stay in touch every now and then until you get a computer. Go the the library or someone's house to just keep your nation alive.............maybe.........my dumb suggestion.

Yay for TIN!


YAY!

Wow, I just read TIN man's post. He's right, this is a really good board. And TIN, you are one of the members who help make it so much fun.

That is so sweet and true. Tin, you are an awesome person keep believing that. You made me cry dammit. You seriously. That's not your fault. I've been crying about everything anyway. Love you Tin. :fluffle:

It wouldn't be the same without him. It would become all... politically. We seriously need more random posters... (not that he's the only one, mind)

*turns on infinite improbability drive*

If you want my exact adress if you REALLY wish to send me a machine, just ask and i'll TGM it to you.

If you don't want to deliver it, you can mail it to me! It'll cost a bundle though... :eek:

But I am amazed with the support I have on this site.

Oy TIN!
You know we all love you!

In fact:

But I just ate a brownie... That was nice. I'll eat the cookies when my stomach settles.

Hmm... mornings are so quiet.

Good morning, Tin!

Ah good morning folks. I can't believe people are offering to give me systems!

Here's a song I sing to my kitten in the morning. He really hates it:

Good morning to you!
We're all in our places
With bright shining faces
Good morning to you!

I'm glad you're not leaving yet, I hate it when someone I've become familiar with leaves. Most of my best friends are on here, so if you have no life, that makes at least two of us.

Like I said, for as long as I can i'll cling on. It's going to be disapointing in the end, i fear.

A little better. Tired though. I can't sleep. :rolleyes:

Yeah I only had about 2 hours sleep last night. (Curse you insomnia!)

Well just hang in there.

I'll try. In fact, I may try going back to bed soon. :)

where does TIN live again? my parents also have a couple of old pc's knocking about... if he's in the UK he can have one of those easy enough too (especially now i have a car :) )

You want my address?

TIN, In a couple of months (probably around the end of May), when I myself buy a new PC, I will have a spare IBM machine that I will offer for say, $20 (to keep my parents happy, they don't like me giving away free stuff) plus postage, which may be a fair bit. It's a few years old, but it will run the internet fine.

If all other options fail, i'll be happy to do that. It may be prohibitively expensive, so I can cannibalise it and send you only the hard drive, soundcard, etc. if you like.

You want my address?
aha! TG...

Man, that computer must suck. I'd send you one of mine... If only I knew your address (and if only I had enough money for postage)!

It's 366mhz. It's my bedroom computer, that I use mostly for old games. The one I use normally is a 700mhz :)

If the computers got at least a 10GB hard drive, it's always worth a look. My old one (Which is nothing more than a solitare machine now) has only got a 1GB hard drive and it used to belong to my grandad, who somehow filled the machine with viruses that we just cannot kill. Even with reboot. So I have considered smashing it with a hammer.

It's 4GB, I think. My brother might give up his machine with an 8GB drive and I could send you both. :)

time for a morning fluffle i believe :fluffle:

Man, the one you normally use isn't even as fast as the Laptop I'm on now... A Pentium III 1ghz.

My desktop, however, is a Pentium 4 3.4ghz rig. GeForce 6800 GTO, Sound Blaster Audigy 2, 160gb 7,200rpm HDD, 1gb of DDR-2 433mhz RAM (dual channel)... The works. 11,000+ 3DMarks in 3DMark '03.

My other one, that I can't access right now, is an Athlon 64 rig. ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, 80gb 7,200rpm HDD, 1gb of DDR 400mhz RAM... Pretty damn good, I say. 6,500+ 3DMarks in 3DMark '03.

I also have another one, which is also inaccessible. Athlon XP 2000+. GeForce 4 Ti4200, 40gb 5,200rpm HDD, 76mb of PC-133 RAM... It's decent, and plays Half-Life very well. This is the one I'd let somebody have, but first I'd have to move all my files from that HDD. It has a ton of albums on it, with some Vinyl rips :D. 3,200+ 3DMarks in 3DMark '03.

thats good. i definatley have a pc with a busted HD, but everything else is ok (can mash em together). but then i should have a couple of working oldies too :) (i hope)

Bah, don't rub it in :p

It'll only take me a month or two to save for a better one. That is, if I can bring myself to stop buying guitar stuff....argh. :p

But, guitar "stuff" kicks ass. Especially tube amps.

well you win anyway...
i got a respectable Athlon 64 3200, 768 ram, GeForce FX5950 (shit), 400gig 7,200 HD ( :D ), all wrapped up in an awesome case :)

*gets completely lost in all the computer talk*

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

It means a computer with lots of space to store stuff, like music.

But, guitar "stuff" kicks ass. Especially tube amps.

Indeed. :D

It's a damn expensive hobby though. I get stuff relatively cheaply because I know where to look, but still....

400gb? Fucking nice, man. My main rig doesn't have a very good case, though.

It's a Dell, and it only cost my sister $1,485. $1,485 for such power is incredible.

Indeed. :D

American Pawn Shops have extremely good deals on Electric Guitars. The one just a mile from my house has them for about $200. Gibson Les Pauls, Fender Stratocasters, you name it. They're in surprisingly good condition, too. They look like they've had "light" use, nothing a little polish could fix.

Mine really sucks. 233 megahertz? Pentium II. I'm sooo totally technologically incompetent. I think the memory is 64 ram. Does that sound right? All I know for sure is that it's really slow and keeps telling me I'm out of virtual memory.

TIN how is the Easter Hols for you and the lack of computeryness?

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

That's awesome!

A Les Paul or (original, non-squire) Strat would probably cost me well over $1500, considering i'm left handed as well!

I'll be working weekends, but other than that I will have nothing to do. I'm looking into net connections for possibilities. Other than that I have but my cube for entertainment.

That's a little less than the old Compaq I had (threw it out a year or so ago). You definately need a new computer.

Virtual Memory is what your Hard Drive uses instead of RAM. When you're out of VM, you're pretty much out of HDD space. So, getting more RAM won't help the situation.

You could go the way of the upgrade, but it would be a massive overhaul. You'd need a new case (good ones go for about $100), a new Motherboard (good ones go for about $150), a new Processor (good ones go for about $275), a new Hard Drive (good ones go for about $90), new RAM (1gb of good DDR-400 RAM goes for about $125), a new Graphics Processing Unit (a high-end 9800 Pro is about $175), and possibly a new Monitor (good ones go for about $175 for 17").

And, don't forget about Case Fans (four decent case fans will set you back about $80), a Power Supply (a good, 400-watt PS is about $135), and a CPU Heatsink/Fan (a great one costs only about $45). And don't forget the Logitech z640 Surround Sound Speakers, which are about $90.

So what does that come out to? If you build it yourself, about $1,440. And, if you want a top Sound Card, and Audigy 2 ZS costs maybe $105.

It's really not that expensive if you build it yourself. But, I will warn you --- it can be a bit frustrating your first time through.

I would have a pretty nice one, if I could find a motherboard. Except I can't order things from the internet, and the closest shop I can find that sells them is in New York.
:(

just wondering if it'll be too late by then (it is like 3 weeks of holiday; how long before nations are deleted :confused: )


anyway, i won't be able to do it before we come back from the holiday cos i'm not going coming back to uni from southampton till the beginning of next semester, and i need to pick up the box from soton. so the weekend before the beginning of term is the most likely, or maybe a couple of weeks after that (that would be definate)

you have a GC? cool :cool:

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

That's awesome!

Yeah, it is! They even have Fender Jazz Bass guitars in great condition. Aquamarine is a very popular color, apparently, because that's about all they carry!

Why can't you order from the 'net?

28 days, if I remember correctly.

Why can't you order from the 'net?
Everything wants a credit card that offers decent motherboards for any reasonable price...
:(

Nice! I got to play a Fender Jazzmaster today...it made me jealous :p

Well I suppose i'll be forced to enter vacation mode (60 days), and it'll take at least a month to get broadband put in. Ooo errr...

I had a better one, but it got zapped by lightning. Inadequate surge protection. I'm told my hard drive might be salvagable. My roommates said they could do that, but as slow as they are, I'm afraid I'd be offline forever.

right, the answer from parents about spare computers is "dunno" - we had some but not entirely sure where they are. next time i go home i'll find out.

we definatley have a PC you could have, but the HD is busted and it won't boot up anymore. buy a new HD (and a copy of Windows... you better not be a Linux user :mad: ) and it'll be fine

u staying put over the hols?



edit: ahahahaha i know where you live!! mwuhaha

I am indeed-apart from weekends, and HD's aren't expensive, so it sounds fine!

A new copy of windows may be a problem though...

Shiiiit. That's what happened to my A64 Rig. I gave it to my sister, and my brother-in-law fixed it. I should be getting it back any day now.

An APC Surge Protector/Backup Power unit costs about $125. CompUSA has very good ones. When lightning strikes, nothing happens! It's very good to have.

I wanna know!
