On topic:
Whenever me and my Soc mates are hunting and one of us gets the green swirlies skill gain then all of us call the swirlie getter a noob... It's just fun and not at all offensive... Unless of course you are a real noob with a huge lack of self confidence.

Off topic:
I clicked the noob test link and thought it was a harmless piece of fun. Plus it's been so long since I've seen that Rick Astley video that I watched it all the way thru. Yes I was and still am a Rick Astley fan... His last album was great.

Cheers, Nobleone

Interesting point for FireFox users btw: there is a useful FF addon which will bring up the actual URL that it connects to when you mouseover a link.
I can't remember the name or I'd search for it. And I'm sure no-one would click on a link anyway, even if I posted it
But it can be downloaded from somewhere on mozilla.org, that's all I can remember.

And to the guy who -rep'ed me with the very lame comment "if this is the biggest problem in your life then feel yourself lucky":
It is not my biggest problem, I'm sorry if I have in given you that impression. I simply used the rep system to express my displeasure with a link that was posted.

I don't have a problem with the neg, your comment, or your reasons as posted here. Which, after all, is what the rep system is supposed to be about.

This man has no shame



Even further off topic: An ex of mine used to babysit him when he was about 10. She said he was a nice well-behaved lad, but a bit 'precious'
I knew you'd be thrilled to know that
