Hello Everyone!
I've taken the liberty of creating a Fantasy Football (NFL) league for XDA this year since I have not seen one at all and I thought what the heck, why not make one.
The league is with Yahoo! and it is a custom league. If you join you can see all the rule (points, playoff dates etc.) It is all very fair and the rules make for a great league and a lot of fun too.
The Live Online Draft is August 4th 2008 at 9:00 PM EST. I know the people on this site are all over the world, so If you really to join but the time is a bad time, let me know and I can talk to other people in the league to work out a better time.
If you would like to join, click the link below. If you have any questions PM me or send me an e-mail [email protected].
The MAX players is 16 so HURRY UP. KICKOFF FOR THE NFL SEASON IS SEP. 4th!!!

Damnit! I didn't know the draft happened. Who knows though sometimes when you let Yahoo choose you come out on top.
In memory of all the men and women that fell that day. May they rest in peace, and may their families find strength to get through this day that brings to mind so many painful memories.
God Bless America

Excellent post.
9/11/01 will always remain the worst day of my life for obvious reasons.
In the memory of those people who believed in Peace,
of those people who believed in Love, in Goodness,
in sharing and in shaking hands (or give kisses) to other people.
Those people who were at work, who were joining their family. Who trusted in their countries.
For those people whose life was truncated or changed because of hate and war.
Rest in Peace now.

I have been a survivor in this brutal act, i was just on a vacation and visited the wtc. Was going back so thought of visiting it the last time. Was coming out of the building and boom, everything into ashes. I couldnt beleive my eyes.for me i really really wanna see those terrorists begging for death. I want them to feel the pain of each and every human who saw this act. At this moment i am weeping for the dead and praying for peace. May god free this world from those inhumans

About 350 years ago Barcelona was destroyed by the spanish soldiers and Catalonia missed its own Government (it had the 2nd modern Constitution in the world and a kind of democracy layed upon the feudal or totalitary system) to become a province of Castille, which was thought as the total Spain.
So that the Catalan (autonomous) Government restitued in 1979 declared September 11th our National Day, and everybody goes to the streets to demonstrations and festivals.
That day we were at our new home eating (it was the beginning of the afternoon in Europe) and began to play with TV so we could say the first images in the CNN.
That day demonstrations (they use to be reivindicative as lots of things were stolen by the spanish and taxes are expoliating us now or we suffer a kind of "apartheid" - also reivindicative "against" USA because we were abandoned in 1945 when the rest of Europe could recover Democracy and was reconstructed but fascists continued ruling and killing in Spain for 40 years) those demonstrations were not for our country. Everything was silent and people was sad. It was a terrible shock also in our small country. Terrible.
We remembered again our country destroyed and occupied 350 years ago and "the day after" when everybody began to work again, to reconstruct and arrange everything, and this was the message our politicians gave to the US and the message we give now: don't give up working and sharing and loving !

ORDER Social Group
Come on guys, join in!
Hi, my name is Ezequiel and I have had ORD since 2005. Because of this, I have created a group which I not only maintain, but also I am a proud member of. This kind of group therapy might not give out any results (as we would need someone who has been able to recover from it), but at least we will be able to get past the feeling that we are in essence lonely in this world since no one outside of xda-devs seem to understand what we go through
[highlight]So, what exactly is ORD?(thanks Fallen Spartan for the definition)[/highlight]
I have finally figured out what is wrong with us all.
We got something that can be called ORD
Obsessive-ROM Updating Disorder
you might have it if you:
-Flashes new roms as soon as they are available
-Need to have the lastes OS build
-Need to have the latest packages, it do not matter if there is no changes to the application, just as long as it has a higher build number.
-Is often forgetful in daily activities cause you are thinking of what the next leaked update will be
-Often does not follow instructions and fails to finish schoolwork, chores, or duties in the workplace because your urge to browse websites sutch as Htcpedia or xda-developers.
-Difficulties completing household chores as you are constantly refreshing your browser for updated roms
-Often having difficulty concentrating on conversations as you are constantly backing up contacts etc, setting up mail and customizing graphics on the newest rom
-Appearing not to listen when spoken to (often being accused of beeing obsessesive with "that damn phone"

I...Hate...XDA
My name is Blair and I am an Addict!
I have been an addict since I got a Kaiser 2 years ago.
Now I cook my own personal ROM's, helped Root a couple Android Devices, and cant stop visiting XDA waiting to get or help with the latest and greated WinMo/Android Mod.
Phewwwwwww!
I feel better already.....ohhhh wait is that a new WinMo build...........
Lol!
I´m Orb and I´m a humanoid, so I can type more and faster
I´m waiting that a profession: Psychologist for not humans to be created, so I´ll be in the first list to get an appointment, I have problems
The real story:
I started on Winmo world back in 2004 when I saw a friend of mine with a Blue angel, I was amazed with it and later on I got an Universal from a trip to Europe, since that I got in love with WM/HTC world, but something was missing....I was bored...
Until I came across XDA!! and all changed, the possibilities were almost infinite on flashing (flashed so many times I´ve lost the count)and customizing, money was my limit to buy more devices so I stayed only with great Uni from 2005 till 2009 that I got the chance to buy a Rhodium (I am not counting my wife´s Excalibur on this story).
Later on I wanted to have a Maple to upgrade my wife´s Excalibur and was looking for one for several months, and recently I´ve found a great deal!
Flashing continues...
That´s the end of the story....for now

I cannot believe that you stole my idea, and used it, and didn't give me any credit for it at all. I made the post/thread "I... Hate... Xda!" and I'm not even linked here, seriously? So mean!! >:{
My Story ...
It started back in late 2008, early 2009. I had just purchased my new HTC Fuze and wasn't very satisfied with how it performed. After a few hours of searching, I came upon XDA Developers and started reading about what could be done to my phone to make it better. In excitement, I created an account on the forum ...
At first, I was flashing ROM's to my device so that I could get the best features and performance. I would leave the ROM on the device for a few weeks; then weekly, daily, and finally ... hourly. I didn't notice that I was becoming addicted at first; my friends and family had. We would be at a social dinner or event and I would find myself logging into XDA from my phone to see if a new ROM had been released. I'd pretend to be involved in the conversation we were having, but cursing inside at the fact that I wasn't in front of my PC to download and flash it to my device.
Popular chefs like NRGZ28, NATF, and ARUPENTHAL would announce an updated release of their next Fuze ROM and I would find myself refreshing my browser every hour waiting for the "uploading" message to change to "uploaded & ready" - like a junkie waiting on a street corner for his pusher to arrive. I would get frustrated at how long it was taking to download the ROM from my 16 Mbps downstream connection. I would stay up all night trying to figure out the best time to download ROM's so that I could push my 16 Mbps connection to it's limit - I even called my ISP to complain about the fact that I couldn't get an OC48 fibre optic connection to my house. I even called RapidShare, Hotfile, MediaFire, and 4shared technical support to plead with them to remove the waiting period - I even bought every single item from the popup advertisements.
During the day, I would find myself taking several breaks so that I could check the forum to see if a new ROM was available or another registry tweak that would enhance my phone. I would tell my colleagues that I had a bladder condition just so I could sneak to the bathroom and check the forum. If a ROM had been released, I would go back to my desk and announce that I wasn't feeling well just so I could go home to download the ROM.
I found myself filled with anxiety wondering if someone else had already downloaded the ROM. Would there be a download slot left for me? I found myself pre-booking helicopter flight services to my home just so I could get there as quickly as possible and make sure that I was the first one to download the latest ROM. I found myself setting up sockpuppet accounts so that I could trace the IP Address of any member who had downloaded the ROM before me ... just to call their ISP and have their accounts suspended so that it wouldn't happen again.
And it got worse; I met a dealer name Da_G. He started supplying me the latest versions of kitchens so that I could make my own ROM's. No more waiting. No more pushers. I was "plugged-in" at the source. I would find all of the latest application packages, and add them to my kitchen. If I ran into a problem, I knew I could turn to him for another fix. I craved it more than life itself; I needed the latest ROM ... even before HTC thought of it.
Near the end, it's all I could do. I even worshipped the great goddess Flar of XDA, so that I would be blessed into the order of modship just so I could get into the "inside track". I sold myself like a cheap prostitute/junkie in need of "just one more fix; and then I'll quit; honest". Then another release of Opera or SenseUI would come out; then a new version 6.5 - the cycle would repeat itself over and over.
I found myself waiting in dark alleys looking for iPhone users just so I could show them the latest ROM I had built; "see," I would say, "I have an app for that too". I was a lost soul like those that perish in the Bermuda Triangle; except mine was that of a lost GPS signal. I found myself on street corners calling friends and asking: "Can you hear me now". I lost everything, my house, my home, my wife, my dignity, my HTC Fuze. I felt like I was in a deep dark cave unable to use the backlight of my Fuze to shine the way.
But then, I was saved - I found ORDER. Founded on the teachings of the grand master ITJE and his three followers of the HardSPL: FALLEN SPARTAN the mystic flasher, STYLEZ the rominator, and the all-knowing MIKECHANNON; the high priest EGZTHUNDER1 seeks to enlighten those afflicted with his wisdom. He taught me that all was not lost ...
I simply had to go buy another phone.
My name is hilaireg and I have ORD.

Thank you for your testimony hilaireg, we all know how difficult it is to expose yourself and talk to others about this "demoniac addiction" that is eating all of us inside. Let me tell you, that we really care about you and know what are you passing through, but accepting this and opening to give your testimony...it's a huge step towards sanity and rehab.
We all going to be with you in this long journey to become xda clean...for once and for all...but it's going to be difficult....maybe some up downs...but we will be here for you to provide guidance.
Please group...let's say together "We love you" to hilaireg. And when you feel depressed or that you are going to fall again for this addiction, repeat to yourself...BOOSFRABA....BOOSFRABA...BOOSFRABA...
I hope that helped.
hilaireg... I love you. Ha I lied.
I think I'm the most annoying XDA User aren't I.

I was a lost soul like those that perish in the Bermuda Triangle; except mine was that of a lost GPS signal. I found myself on street corners calling friends and asking: "Can you hear me now". I lost everything, my house, my home, my wife, my dignity, my HTC Fuze. I felt like I was in a deep dark cave unable to use the backlight of my Fuze to shine the way.
But then, I was saved - I found ORDER. Founded on the teachings of the grand master ITJE and his three followers of the HardSPL: FALLEN SPARTAN the mystic flasher, STYLEZ the rominator, and the all-knowing MIKECHANNON; the high priest EGZTHUNDER1 seeks to enlighten those afflicted with his wisdom. He taught me that all was not lost ...
I simply had to go buy another phone.

well... its not that great, but at my school today, me and some friends put a sign on a step saying "broken step, please step over".
the fact that the step was made out of concrete and quite obviously not broken made it hell funny to watch as people jumped the metre or so long gap over the step XD

Hahaha Epic
Hmmm... I was in hiding this year thanks to the epic prank I pulled off last year...
So, a friend of mine was getting married on the 2nd of April (being Friday and all) and so I got him (bridegroom) drunk on 31st March. I pretended to drink too much and passed out earlier than my friends. With another of my prankster buddy, we subsequently spiked every bottle that we didn't drink with the local equivalent of 4loko eXtreme edition. Now, we got partying up to about 6am on 1st April and by then, most of them are out, but the two of us are pretty much alright.
So we then changed the dates on everyone's watches, handphones and whatever nots, and even got the bride's family and the wedding planners into the prank. The wedding reception was planned to be in the morning at 9am, so I got the planners to wake the guys up at 8.30. Needless to say, the groom panicked and everybody got into the car. In the ensuing confusion, I made sure that everybody was wearing mismatched suits and ties.
When they arrived at the bride's place to pick her up (Malaysian tradition, because we go to the church together), the bride's whole family laughed and shouted April's Fool!
I suppose I was still not forgiven for the prank. The bride seems to have enjoyed it but the groom was out for revenge since then. Of course, I drank so much on the bachelors party that I puked (punishment for the prank), and they nearly let me drown in my own vomit.
So that's why 2011 was a quiet year for me... I'm not sure I would survive this time around...

Hi All
I very rarely post much on these forums but am hoping for anyone reading this if you can help a little in the following:
As some may know the Hillsborough Anniversary is again fast approaching, on April 15th 1989 96 Liverpool Fans tragically lost their lives that day and after a long & frustrating 22 years the families of those lost are still fighting for the justice that they and the 96 lost deserve, for more information regarding this please follow this link: Welcome to The Hillsborough Justice Campaign
Shortly following the disaster The Sun, one of the biggest selling tabloid newspapers in the UK printed many lies about that tragic day, putting the blame squarely on Liverpool fans and their supposed atrocious behavior, of course all those were sick, vile lies and since that day, Liverpool fans & Liverpudlians including the Everton fanbase have seeked to Boycott that vile newspaper whom still have yet to make any form of sincere apology.
If I can ask for one simple favour; Stephen Smith is a very talented music artist who recently released his album 'Next Train to Nowhere' on the album contains the song 'Liar, Liar' of which he has just released Monday gone (April 4th) in attempt to get it into the charts for the week leading upto the Hillsborough Disaster & there's also been a campaign by fellow Liverpool fans to help get the song into the charts and to raise awareness of not only the lies told by The Sun but to maybe even bring that deserved justice to those family members that one step closer to reality.
We ask that for just a paltry sum of 0.79p to download the song of which as mentioned above can really help bring awareness of the tragedy and what befalled it to a much wider audience and push that fight for justice one step closer to completion.
Not only will you be massively helping families who are still grieving to this day as they still have yet to receive the closure their loved ones deserved but the song in itself is worth purchasing alone written & performed by an exepetionally talented musician.
All proceeds from Liar Liar will be donated to the Hillsborough Family Support Group, Hope for Hillsborough and the Hillsborough Justice Campaign.
Here are the download links:
ITunes - Stephen Smith - Liar, Liar
Amazon.co.uk - Stephen Smith - Liar, Liar
Here's the music video:

RIP.
On that sad day, my grandfather, auntie, two uncles and my uncles friend went to watch their team play a game. Only four returned home again.
The events of that day are widely reported and I've never heard them speak of their ordeal.
One of my earliest memories of my uncle was him on crutches for so long afterwards.
You'll never walk alone.
