I hate dialup

Post by Sir Auros »

I just spent a good minute swearing at the top of my lungs at my f*cking connection because it kept connecting and disconnecting. In less than a week I'm going to be moving into my apartment at school, and I swear, for the rest of my life, I will NEVER EVER have dialup to connect to the internet (at least in my home). Getting a cable modem connection next Monday, and incidentally, during the move-in and all, I probably won't be around too often for about two weeks starting this Saturday.

dial-up isn't always so bad. i don't usually have problems with mine. i think it's all a simple matter of you get what you pay for, i mean, if you go "bargain-hunting" like i know some are prone to do, i can see where it would be easy for your connection to be garbage.

I don't think I've gone around telling people we are all doomed so much in my life. Two Auros' that can only spell the ultimate fall of the board. This is deadlier then Brenyer91!

Indeed, dial up is the ****tiest there is...no wait, there is in fact ****tier! Yes thats right, the lowest possible form of life there is...TFC PLAYERS!!!!

**** they ****ing piss me off so damn much, I wish I had my own goddamn server, there would be so many ****s that would be banned, only the best would be able to play in it.

HWS = banned (HW, the most cheapest class their is, and "players" always use it, hence they have no skill, the game could be far more productive if they were gone. You choose HW? Instant ban.

Gay = banned (People who always call things gay or refer to homosexual things in any way. Take your immaturity somewhere else asshole! Instant ban)

Kids = banned (simply because they are dumb)

Cheaters = banned (Obviously, instant ban)

Spam = banned (those stupid ****s that always spam the goddamn respawn, as well as spam the hud, **** OFF! Instant ban)

Trying to download anything on a dialup is horrendous, let alone 20-minute episodes. It took me almost a month to dl my Ultimate Doom pts. 1-3 all in one file. I truly hate this thing, and its costing me $30/month!

I'm on Dialup... pretty much FORCED to, believe me I'd LOVE to have ADSL but it's juat too expencive, and "catch" ridden here in Australia...
so I'm stuck with it for now, GETRIGHT is a gift from the GODS for DLing the epps.


"Gay = banned (People who always call things gay or refer to homosexual things in any way. Take your immaturity somewhere else asshole! Instant ban) "

*rant ON* and YEAH, stupid homaphobe BIGGOTS who go around "accusing" people of being GAY as a form of "insult" are just about the lowest form of humanity I can imagine... they should all be F***ed and burned... the world (and most forums) would be a better place for it. *end Rant* :)

Ah.


Sixy's salary would double for that video...


And I'm positively amused by the fact that members of our society can get so furious about less-than-instantaneous access to the internet...

Actually, it's not so much the slowness so much as the incessant disconnections.
