The way I ended up here a year ago is proof that Google is losing all touch with reality :D I had an Ebay auction which was won by somebody who gave an address in Mexico for a city that I never heard of. I wrote and asked him if it was a Colonia of Mexico City, but he never answered. Map searches turned up 3 towns in Mexico with that name, not near each other. This had become more trouble than it was worth. I googled México the state, trying to pinpoint one of those towns, and there was a link to The Cellar because the name appeared in a post supposedly from a helicopter pilot who posted a photo of a newly-constructed massive public housing project. Following the menus backwards, I got out of the photo section and into the "meat" of this website.

It helps if you don't stumble on one of our survivalist/guns post first ;)

If I remember correctly, UT was spreading bread crumbs on a libbeytarian list 5k posts ago.

I really don't believe you have to have 500 posts to be considered a "good poster" here... I dunno about others but I take everyone seriously and enjoy people's posts no matter how many posts they have. There is a meaning to having thousands of posts but hey, it's as much chance as anything.

100 good posts is better than 5000 posts all in the word association thread.

sometimes the word association thread is the only place someone makes sense.

Well, I may be wrong about the monkey's part, but someone did put an ad for the cellar on I-village that ran for a very brief period. :neutral:

Sometime in the early 90s I had this copy of Delaware Valley Computer User ...

I stumbled here, bored to tears three New Years Eves ago, after doing a Google search for "online community" or some such. It was a lucky hit (well, for me...others here would probably differ).

Funny thing about Word Association type threads, I think they do serve a purpose on Forums. I started one called Just A Word a few months back on a site I just left. Its now into 4000 posts and believe me the Forum was/is quite dismal. Their chat room had just died a horrible death and people were suspicious of the Forums. I think its the equivelent of a Chat Room "Hiiiiiiii" ...*wavy smiley emoticon* lets people know youre around but not in the mood for specifics.

Now my feelings are hurt. :cry:

A damn lucky day for us, methinks. :grouphug:

Buuuuuut it's whaaaaaat I do beeest.

(although I can be a fair hand at sarcasm too)

Whale penis. that's what did it for me.

You've no one but yourself to blame.

tubbyfunster hasn't posted here in awhile. You people. You must play the fish till it's tired, don't just start hauling on the line. Another one throws the hook....

There's a testimonial if ever I heard one...

Well guys.... I reckon we may as well move on. I mean what are our chances now? :eyebrow:
