I agree 100% with bias to me thats entertainment and blogging doesn't affect me. then one of them call nokia fans s60 trolls I said ok thats mess up but I know theirs some irritating s60 fans like windows mobile etc etc list never ends so maybe he took a small jab at a annoying reader. But dissing a developer website was just damn right wrong Especially when this people work so hard on what they do. I'm still heated over that comment.

Nah, that wasn't being said:
They are talking about android and how it isn't running natively.
Then one of the talkers is flipping through a XDA thread, and it doesn't look like it's done (running Android natively) "they are arguing now" where the other talker says: "he trolls XDA".
Nothing special, engadget didn't call us trolls.
Next time you post accusations please ensure you heard correctly..
what happened to that thread, i dont think anyone was posting about smoother is possibly fixxxer or fixxxer is really clark kent etc. Was it violating any rules? I thought it was a great thread and finally getting to be able to know everyone better.
+1 Where the heck did it go.
my ten chars wanna know WTF? I thought that was a pretty good "get to know you" thread. I certainly learned stuff about you guys i didn't know before...
Could we maybe get an offtopic header so that folks can blow off some steam without pissing everyone off?
Agreed. I figured idle chat would be fine in the "general" section.

Agreed.. That was a good thread.
I'm 31, I have no kids and I typically behave like I'm still 17, only not quite as reckless anymore
maybe the bad word is shenanigans?
Now I've done it.
I did like how that conversation was going.
Well, if we want to continue it here, I'm game. I was working on my post at the time of deletion.
I'm 33. Employed, working as many hours as possible since I was 14. College graduate (BA in History, oddly enough). I've been married once and will be again in the not-so-distant future. I have a girlfriend and a 2 year-old daughter. I've been a tech nerd for over 25 years. I bought my first computer (Tandy 1000 RLX/HD) in 1990 when they cost $1000. Yes, that was a lot of lawns in the 90s. My first cell phone was a Tandy CT-350 purchased in 1993.

It’s that time of the year again, when you are home alone for your birthday. Well, do not worry because your Windows Phone has prepared a cake for you to blow out the candles when the time comes, because that is just how much it loves you and how much you should love it. To make it work, you simply need to blow into your device’s microphone and the candles go out when you apply enough air.

I didn't actually notice the quote until your second post (new forum theme). I thought you were just posting an empty post to see what reaction you get.
I was once told that purple makes you mad...

Only tried it just as I logged on, and your thread was the first thing I (incorrectly) read. It's off now already I like how unique this place looks, and not too bright (harsh on the eyes).
Defenitly, plus the new theme makes everything bigger!
I had to chuckle to myself when i saw that post on the portal, surley not everyone is alone who has a winmo phone?!?!
New theme does make everything to big - I don't like it so much Yay for yellow and brown!
Yea, it makes me wonder bout the developer....

I think more sad is to see the amount of useless threads you create in off topic
You must remember that we are a more than 2 mill community and for some that app could be of liking (not for me).
So we won´t find all the time things we like but hey we are millions here!
I was just saying, it seems like a sad app for lonely people... But anyway, can someone (orb) make a certain thread (national sea monkey day) go on the Portal as an example of what not to put? (Or maybe an example of excellence in the postery category, a little compliment wouldn't hurt )
Ohh I see!
Lol, I´ll see what I can do
WOOT! Now everyone can enjoy the celebration of Sea Monkeys!

Anyway, I wonder if any of you remember this song, it's a hip-hop one that says that the girl is like a broken record in his eyes and she keeps flashing in front of his eyeballs...
Well, I'm facing that problem now.
Anyone else had this problem before
if u remember an exact quote (about 5-6 words long should do) of the lyrics and its fairly popular u can try ur luck by pasting it in google with " " around it .

No, it's not really about the song... although your response reminded me of a joke about a girl with a broken carburetor in here car, running home to find her husband cheating. She wrote to the local newspaper help column and the help column guy explained how to fix broken carburetors.

Looks like we are facing the same problem. I dunno whether to smile or to cry.

Well I have to say I never thought of it like that, but they are good at invading my mind. They also seem to get better at it if I already have a girl. I'm not sure if that's my fault or if they do it on purpose. As for how to deal with it. I wish I knew how because so far it doesn't seem to be working.

Well, I've been watching all my Lakers home games and some ufc fights on atdhe for a long time - no problems. It does look abit sketchy I have to admit, but I took a leap of faith and it's worked out for me for a few months so I can't complain! Quality isn't great but it's a pretty popular website to get access to certain sporting events.

That seems to be a fake site not run by the original atdhe people.
http://atdhenet.tv/ seems to be the real site, it has the same formatting as the original. It also has a warning about fake atdhe sites.

Btw, Firstrow is back on, but when you go to their site, it re directs you to another site, different ones every visit. But lately they've been redirecting you to a soccer.tv or something. Anyways, gave fun!
