SoupSoupAD (5:47:22 PM): do you have time for an interview?
kldafrlka (5:47:31 PM): sure
SoupSoupAD (5:47:37 PM): cool
SoupSoupAD (5:48:05 PM): when did you start posting on message boards?
kldafrlka (5:48:45 PM): I guess it was late '99
SoupSoupAD (5:48:54 PM): on where?
kldafrlka (5:48:57 PM): OA.com
kldafrlka (5:49:06 PM): it was right after the fingerbang incident
SoupSoupAD (5:50:03 PM): when did you become a "martyr" /
SoupSoupAD (5:50:04 PM): ?
kldafrlka (5:50:48 PM): Good question
kldafrlka (5:51:23 PM): I can't remember the first act of martyrdom, but it was loosely based on some shit b/w me and froy
SoupSoupAD (5:51:45 PM): can you think of one signifigant incident of martyrdom on oa.com ?
kldafrlka (5:52:36 PM): Pretty much any time I got in an argument with a mod it was written of as me acting as a martyr for the oppressed posters
kldafrlka (5:53:02 PM): I'm not sure anything I've ever posted on any board should be considered significant
SoupSoupAD (5:53:30 PM): ha, well we are taking something to ridiculously signifigant levels here, but thats the point
SoupSoupAD (5:53:33 PM): its meant to be in jest
kldafrlka (5:54:03 PM): Getting banned by froy and having all of the mods arguing against him was good
SoupSoupAD (5:54:08 PM): do you take your posting seriously?
kldafrlka (5:54:26 PM): and then getting reinstated by (insert covert mod name)
kldafrlka (5:54:30 PM): nah, not really
SoupSoupAD (5:54:53 PM): so it was all just to fuck around and have fun?
kldafrlka (5:54:55 PM): I get passionate about issues and love to argue them, but it's never anything that would change my life
kldafrlka (5:55:10 PM): to me, it was never personal
kldafrlka (5:55:26 PM): I don't think that you can put too much credence in what people post on the Internet
SoupSoupAD (5:55:26 PM): you never really felt like you were on some OA.com crusade
SoupSoupAD (5:55:33 PM): just trying to stir up some shit for fun
kldafrlka (5:55:34 PM): crusade?
SoupSoupAD (5:55:40 PM): to change the board
kldafrlka (5:55:50 PM): ha! nah, it was kind of like a character
SoupSoupAD (5:55:56 PM): you often wanted to be modded
SoupSoupAD (5:56:19 PM): was it just a goal or did you want to be a part of the board as someone in the position of authority?
kldafrlka (5:56:37 PM): I wanted to access everything... just for curiousity's sake
kldafrlka (5:56:45 PM): the way to get there was the fun of it
SoupSoupAD (5:56:47 PM): to read BTS?
kldafrlka (5:57:11 PM): to be able to edit, to be able to see all the doors, etc
kldafrlka (5:57:37 PM): back then, it was all a mystery. nobody no anybody else, so it was all about your screenname and the character you had built for yourself
SoupSoupAD (5:58:03 PM): what do you say to people who think you've sold out considering your recent posting on wackbag?
kldafrlka (5:58:20 PM): so, knowing that bts existed and that board activities were being discussed there, behing closed doors... of course, I wanted to know what was going on.
kldafrlka (5:58:55 PM): Have I ever really cared what other people think? I always use the name Kid Afrika or some bastardized spelling of same. I'm not trying to hide what I do from anyone.
kldafrlka (5:59:18 PM): I knew there would be comments, but I also knew that I could have some fun posting on wackbag. And I have.
SoupSoupAD (5:59:33 PM): well you were kind of anti-authority on OA.com and now you're sort of like every other poster on wackbag now.
kldafrlka (6:00:38 PM): the veteran members of wackbag know who I am. Stingray has actually been very cool about me re-joining his board.
kldafrlka (6:01:01 PM): I don't have any secret powers on wackbag, that's for sure. but it's kind of a good thing to be a "newb" again
SoupSoupAD (6:01:04 PM): well of course, you play the game now
SoupSoupAD (6:01:17 PM): you dont have the same attitude you did on .com
kldafrlka (6:02:15 PM): That attitude stirred up a lot of shit. It was a lot of fun. I'm not sure I want to go through it again though.
kldafrlka (6:02:50 PM): Besides, the only reason I got away with half of the shit I did on oa.com was because I had people supporting me on the inside. I don't have that at wackbag.
SoupSoupAD (6:02:52 PM): even thought wackbag is even more tightly run than OA.com?
SoupSoupAD (6:03:09 PM): in terms of having something to get riled up about
kldafrlka (6:03:48 PM): wackbag has rules that are typical of most message boards today, I guess. I joined leovilletownsquare.com a while ago... you should see the rules there
SoupSoupAD (6:04:14 PM): we are talking about a show about dick and fart jokes though
kldafrlka (6:04:35 PM): true.
SoupSoupAD (6:04:59 PM): so you are officially nicey nice?
kldafrlka (6:05:23 PM): I've learned that morals, ideals and the US constitution don't make the rules of message boards. The owner of the board does.
kldafrlka (6:05:30 PM): am I nicey nice? NO!
SoupSoupAD (6:05:38 PM): what would be something that would cause you to revert back to kid afrika circa oa.com mode in terms of something wackbag might impose down the line?
SoupSoupAD (6:06:04 PM): you always knew that though, that wasnt the point of your crusades
SoupSoupAD (6:06:32 PM): you were fighting despite the fact the owner sets the rules, the members make the board
kldafrlka (6:06:36 PM): No, my point at the time was that froy's board didn't really mean shit. It wasn't his board that was the key ingredient, it was the members.
SoupSoupAD (6:06:41 PM): right
kldafrlka (6:06:42 PM): exactly.
kldafrlka (6:07:00 PM): And, all of the bastard children of oa.com testify to that.
kldafrlka (6:07:26 PM): wackbag.com and opieanthony.net testify to it as well
kldafrlka (6:08:47 PM): But that's now. Back then, I really thought that froy had let the whole thing go to his head. I wanted to poke holes in his tyranny. And, I think I did once or twice.
SoupSoupAD (6:14:54 PM): you dont think sting has the same problem?
kldafrlka (6:15:21 PM): If he does, I haven't seen it yet.
kldafrlka (6:15:44 PM): And these days, I don't care as much as I once did.
SoupSoupAD (6:15:49 PM): what do you think about him paying $500 to get in the studio?
kldafrlka (6:16:08 PM): IF he did that, I'd say it was foolish
kldafrlka (6:16:42 PM): he could've paid a stripper $500 and used her to get in free and gotten a ton more plugs
SoupSoupAD (6:18:13 PM): can we continue tonight?
SoupSoupAD (6:18:15 PM): i have to run
kldafrlka (6:18:23 PM): how rude!
SoupSoupAD (6:18:28 PM): sorry
kldafrlka (6:18:29 PM): NP...
SoupSoupAD (6:18:34 PM): im getting pulled away here
kldafrlka (6:18:46 PM): I'll try to remember to leave IM open
kldafrlka (6:18:54 PM): c-ya
SoupSoupAD (6:19:18 PM): ok
SoupSoupAD (6:19:20 PM): thanks
a few days later.....
SoupSoupAD (7:40:07 PM): hi
kldafrlka (7:40:18 PM): you are?
SoupSoupAD (7:40:22 PM): ha
SoupSoupAD (7:40:25 PM): sorry
kldafrlka (7:40:27 PM): np
SoupSoupAD (7:40:45 PM): can we continue our interview now? do you have some time?
kldafrlka (7:40:55 PM): now's as good a time as any
SoupSoupAD (7:40:59 PM): cool
kldafrlka (7:41:17 PM): I am working on something, so if there's a delay in responding...
SoupSoupAD (7:41:21 PM): no worries
SoupSoupAD (7:42:04 PM): so, we left off talking about wackbag
kldafrlka (7:42:20 PM): yep
SoupSoupAD (7:42:22 PM): and how people might feel you have done a 180
kldafrlka (7:42:44 PM): have I really done a 180 though?
SoupSoupAD (7:42:48 PM): well
kldafrlka (7:42:52 PM): I meant it's been a few years since all that shit went down
SoupSoupAD (7:42:57 PM): wackbag is oa.com times a thousand
SoupSoupAD (7:43:05 PM): but you seem to accept it now
kldafrlka (7:44:15 PM): I guess because time has passed maybe I've changed a bit. I always did maintain that i am human and as such subject to change my mind or view about basically anything
SoupSoupAD (7:44:25 PM): of course
SoupSoupAD (7:44:31 PM): what do you think influenced that?
kldafrlka (7:44:40 PM): Maturity
SoupSoupAD (7:45:29 PM): do you think you'll get bored with being forced to hold back your true feelings on the board?
kldafrlka (7:45:30 PM): working in the professional world I've realized that sometimes being right has nothing to do with winning
SoupSoupAD (7:45:40 PM): what are you trying to win on wackbag?
SoupSoupAD (7:45:43 PM): acceptance?
kldafrlka (7:45:53 PM): not at all
SoupSoupAD (7:45:57 PM): to be part of stingrays inner circle?
kldafrlka (7:46:02 PM): not at all
kldafrlka (7:46:29 PM): what I was saying is that sometimes you just have to play by the rules if you want to play at all
SoupSoupAD (7:46:51 PM): even if those rules are against your core beliefs?
kldafrlka (7:47:03 PM): I like participating in boards associated with the show. wackbag is the one right now.
SoupSoupAD (7:47:29 PM): so you are willing to sacrifice what you believe for a chance to post on a message board?
kldafrlka (7:47:48 PM): I really don't see where I would have a problem voicing my opinion on any topic on wackbag. I may have to use a bit of tact (which I never did in the past), but I can still voice my opinion.
SoupSoupAD (7:48:11 PM): people have been banned for simply being critical about the show
SoupSoupAD (7:48:17 PM): or too negative
SoupSoupAD (7:48:39 PM): or just cause they happen to be from .net or cdih
kldafrlka (7:49:07 PM): I think stingray has made some changes recently and will be a bit more tolerant of those situations
SoupSoupAD (7:49:31 PM): really?
SoupSoupAD (7:49:35 PM): what changes are those?
kldafrlka (7:49:48 PM): he did invite everyone who's ever been banned to re-register with a clean slate
SoupSoupAD (7:50:51 PM): but still under the same ridiculous rules
SoupSoupAD (7:51:05 PM): i dont even see that offer made on the site either
kldafrlka (7:51:47 PM): it was there
kldafrlka (7:52:08 PM): and yes, some of the rules are a bit over the top, but I guess he's trying to keep the board in good standing with the show
kldafrlka (7:52:34 PM): and considering all of the plugs he gets, I think it's working
SoupSoupAD (7:52:56 PM): why do you think the board needs plugs or association with the show? dont you think its more trouble than its worth?
kldafrlka (7:53:32 PM): it brings a lot of hassles at times sure, but at the end of the day, you get a bunch of people together talking about the show that we all listen to
SoupSoupAD (7:54:07 PM): but you are the shows bitch
SoupSoupAD (7:54:19 PM): you cant be critical
kldafrlka (7:54:27 PM): yep, we've seen that in the past
SoupSoupAD (7:55:27 PM): did you ever have beef with gonzo?
kldafrlka (7:55:32 PM): I think if you have a legitimate(sp?) gripe with the show you can voice it. Lately, most of the complaints have been shit that's such a non-issue
kldafrlka (7:55:49 PM): sure, I've gotten into some shit with GS in the past
SoupSoupAD (7:56:01 PM): over what?
kldafrlka (7:56:47 PM): don't really remember, I think we got into it over something on oa.com and I started going off on him about personal shit (that had previously been discussed on the board)...
kldafrlka (7:57:11 PM): then at a softball game I went up to shake his hand and he wouldn't acknowledge me. He played me for such the fool.
kldafrlka (7:57:59 PM): I totally bought into it that he was mad and only later found out he was jerking my chain. We've since reconciled... he tussled my hair and I let him babysit my nephew.
SoupSoupAD (7:58:17 PM): ha
SoupSoupAD (7:59:37 PM): any other famous feuds?
kldafrlka (8:00:31 PM): have something in mind?
kldafrlka (8:00:50 PM): there's the on-going vos-kid nig fued
SoupSoupAD (8:00:56 PM): ever with italian princess
kldafrlka (8:01:03 PM): not that I remember
SoupSoupAD (8:01:04 PM): opak?
kldafrlka (8:01:36 PM): as I remember, opak quit the board as a result of an argument he and I had
SoupSoupAD (8:01:47 PM): really?
kldafrlka (8:02:02 PM): that's how I remember it, but there may have been more involved
SoupSoupAD (8:02:17 PM): can you be more specific?
kldafrlka (8:02:23 PM): it was so long ago and really was about nothing so I don't remember the details... it may still be on the oa.com archive
SoupSoupAD (8:02:29 PM): he deleted your posts
SoupSoupAD (8:02:35 PM): like, all of them
SoupSoupAD (8:02:41 PM): that was part of the beef
kldafrlka (8:02:49 PM): if you know, why are you testing my memory?
SoupSoupAD (8:03:06 PM): yes, i am testing your memory
SoupSoupAD (8:03:12 PM): trying to pry the info out
SoupSoupAD (8:03:12 PM): ha
kldafrlka (8:03:22 PM): now I kind of remember that I had to do some investigating to find out who deleted my posts because nobody would own up to it
SoupSoupAD (8:03:47 PM): and he quit over the fact someone defended you over him?
kldafrlka (8:03:48 PM): somebody ratted him out, so I called him on it. he was pissed that I was able to find out information and get re-instated after he banned me
SoupSoupAD (8:04:09 PM): you had friends behind the scenes at oa
kldafrlka (8:04:15 PM): of course I did
kldafrlka (8:04:32 PM): Upuauat was kind enough to take me under his wing early on
kldafrlka (8:04:42 PM): and through that, I had an in with Sean
SoupSoupAD (8:05:18 PM): ever have a falling out with sean?
kldafrlka (8:05:44 PM): I did quit as a mod of cdih because he was breaking my balls about not doing enough
kldafrlka (8:06:17 PM): I over-reacted and deleted my account... we laughed about it later, but I never asked or was invited back to be a mod
SoupSoupAD (8:06:57 PM): what do you think about sean leaving cdih and pretty much saying everyone on it was joke
kldafrlka (8:06:59 PM): at the time, we really had some grander ideas about how a board should be run and how there should be limited rules and no overbearing mods
kldafrlka (8:07:34 PM): I think once you hear the term "the SeanCold" it does put things in perspective.
kldafrlka (8:08:13 PM): I remember when I first joined oa.com it all seemed so big and the mods seemed like they had some sort of power. It was like being popular or being part of the in crowd mattered.
kldafrlka (8:08:49 PM): eventually I found out that the mods treated each other as much like scumbags as the members did
SoupSoupAD (8:10:59 PM): it was all a game
kldafrlka (8:12:02 PM): it's kind of like wrestling... unless you notice that every conflict is blown up beyond proportion and never solved on broadcast tv but rather on the pay-per-view shows, it's pretty entertainign
SoupSoupAD (8:13:14 PM): but it seems like people really did get pissed
kldafrlka (8:13:19 PM): some did
SoupSoupAD (8:13:27 PM): tell us about kee kee
kldafrlka (8:13:41 PM): what is there to tell?
kldafrlka (8:14:04 PM): we hung out a few times, neither of us was really into the other so it went away
kldafrlka (8:14:15 PM): haven't talked to her in years
SoupSoupAD (8:16:48 PM): i had to ask
kldafrlka (8:17:07 PM): I wish it was a better story. But, it's not
SoupSoupAD (8:17:41 PM): any other board hook ups?
kldafrlka (8:18:12 PM): None to speak of
kldafrlka (8:19:19 PM): I talked to tankgrrl for a while, but she had a man so that wasn't going anywhere
kldafrlka (8:19:53 PM): I hung out with BeckyDC once, but when I met up with her Sean was with her... she was more of a friend than anything anyway
SoupSoupAD (8:20:22 PM): becky got around
SoupSoupAD (8:20:23 PM): ha
kldafrlka (8:20:36 PM): becky was a nice girl
kldafrlka (8:20:46 PM): that's what I CHOOSE to believe
SoupSoupAD (8:21:22 PM): that awful posting style
SoupSoupAD (8:21:31 PM): ~~**
kldafrlka (8:21:33 PM): ha ha
kldafrlka (8:21:44 PM): aol chat obviously had an influence on her
SoupSoupAD (8:22:33 PM): what about shelle bink
SoupSoupAD (8:22:38 PM): did you know her?
kldafrlka (8:23:32 PM): I think I met her once at a board gathering, but I'm not sure. I did talk to her a few times on AIM. She was friggin' nuts.
SoupSoupAD (8:24:11 PM): nuts?
SoupSoupAD (8:24:15 PM): how so?
kldafrlka (8:24:53 PM): The shit that went on in her life was just too much for someone her age
kldafrlka (8:25:04 PM): to say she had issues would be putting it very lightly
SoupSoupAD (8:25:40 PM): and she shared them with you?
kldafrlka (8:26:16 PM): nah, most if it was evident or explicitly revealed in her posts on the board
SoupSoupAD (8:40:41 PM): and now
SoupSoupAD (8:40:46 PM): for the questionairre
SoupSoupAD (8:40:53 PM): but with a spin
SoupSoupAD (8:40:54 PM): first
SoupSoupAD (8:41:00 PM): i will give you a series of names

SoupSoupAD (8:45:38 PM): no
SoupSoupAD (8:45:43 PM): i mean yes
SoupSoupAD (8:45:47 PM): i did forget

SoupSoupAD (8:58:11 PM): thanks, im going to try something different this time
SoupSoupAD (8:58:20 PM): im gonna post this, THEN do the audience Q&A
SoupSoupAD (8:58:29 PM): that way there are no overlapping questions
kldafrlka (8:59:17 PM): ok
kldafrlka (5:47:31 PM): sure
SoupSoupAD (5:47:37 PM): cool
SoupSoupAD (5:48:05 PM): when did you start posting on message boards?
kldafrlka (5:48:45 PM): I guess it was late '99
SoupSoupAD (5:48:54 PM): on where?
kldafrlka (5:48:57 PM): OA.com
kldafrlka (5:49:06 PM): it was right after the fingerbang incident
SoupSoupAD (5:50:03 PM): when did you become a "martyr" /
SoupSoupAD (5:50:04 PM): ?
kldafrlka (5:50:48 PM): Good question
kldafrlka (5:51:23 PM): I can't remember the first act of martyrdom, but it was loosely based on some shit b/w me and froy

kldafrlka (5:53:02 PM): I'm not sure anything I've ever posted on any board should be considered significant
SoupSoupAD (5:53:30 PM): ha, well we are taking something to ridiculously signifigant levels here, but thats the point
SoupSoupAD (5:53:33 PM): its meant to be in jest
kldafrlka (5:54:03 PM): Getting banned by froy and having all of the mods arguing against him was good
SoupSoupAD (5:54:08 PM): do you take your posting seriously?
kldafrlka (5:54:26 PM): and then getting reinstated by (insert covert mod name)

SoupSoupAD (5:55:33 PM): just trying to stir up some shit for fun
kldafrlka (5:55:34 PM): crusade?
SoupSoupAD (5:55:40 PM): to change the board
kldafrlka (5:55:50 PM): ha! nah, it was kind of like a character
SoupSoupAD (5:55:56 PM): you often wanted to be modded
SoupSoupAD (5:56:19 PM): was it just a goal or did you want to be a part of the board as someone in the position of authority?
kldafrlka (5:56:37 PM): I wanted to access everything... just for curiousity's sake
kldafrlka (5:56:45 PM): the way to get there was the fun of it
SoupSoupAD (5:56:47 PM): to read BTS?
kldafrlka (5:57:11 PM): to be able to edit, to be able to see all the doors, etc
kldafrlka (5:57:37 PM): back then, it was all a mystery. nobody no anybody else, so it was all about your screenname and the character you had built for yourself
SoupSoupAD (5:58:03 PM): what do you say to people who think you've sold out considering your recent posting on wackbag?
kldafrlka (5:58:20 PM): so, knowing that bts existed and that board activities were being discussed there, behing closed doors... of course, I wanted to know what was going on.
kldafrlka (5:58:55 PM): Have I ever really cared what other people think? I always use the name Kid Afrika or some bastardized spelling of same. I'm not trying to hide what I do from anyone.
kldafrlka (5:59:18 PM): I knew there would be comments, but I also knew that I could have some fun posting on wackbag. And I have.
SoupSoupAD (5:59:33 PM): well you were kind of anti-authority on OA.com and now you're sort of like every other poster on wackbag now.

SoupSoupAD (6:01:04 PM): well of course, you play the game now
SoupSoupAD (6:01:17 PM): you dont have the same attitude you did on .com
kldafrlka (6:02:15 PM): That attitude stirred up a lot of shit. It was a lot of fun. I'm not sure I want to go through it again though.
kldafrlka (6:02:50 PM): Besides, the only reason I got away with half of the shit I did on oa.com was because I had people supporting me on the inside. I don't have that at wackbag.
SoupSoupAD (6:02:52 PM): even thought wackbag is even more tightly run than OA.com?
SoupSoupAD (6:03:09 PM): in terms of having something to get riled up about
kldafrlka (6:03:48 PM): wackbag has rules that are typical of most message boards today, I guess. I joined leovilletownsquare.com a while ago... you should see the rules there
SoupSoupAD (6:04:14 PM): we are talking about a show about dick and fart jokes though
kldafrlka (6:04:35 PM): true.
SoupSoupAD (6:04:59 PM): so you are officially nicey nice?
kldafrlka (6:05:23 PM): I've learned that morals, ideals and the US constitution don't make the rules of message boards. The owner of the board does.
kldafrlka (6:05:30 PM): am I nicey nice? NO!
SoupSoupAD (6:05:38 PM): what would be something that would cause you to revert back to kid afrika circa oa.com mode in terms of something wackbag might impose down the line?
SoupSoupAD (6:06:04 PM): you always knew that though, that wasnt the point of your crusades
SoupSoupAD (6:06:32 PM): you were fighting despite the fact the owner sets the rules, the members make the board
kldafrlka (6:06:36 PM): No, my point at the time was that froy's board didn't really mean shit. It wasn't his board that was the key ingredient, it was the members.
SoupSoupAD (6:06:41 PM): right
kldafrlka (6:06:42 PM): exactly.
kldafrlka (6:07:00 PM): And, all of the bastard children of oa.com testify to that.
kldafrlka (6:07:26 PM): wackbag.com and opieanthony.net testify to it as well
kldafrlka (6:08:47 PM): But that's now. Back then, I really thought that froy had let the whole thing go to his head. I wanted to poke holes in his tyranny. And, I think I did once or twice.
SoupSoupAD (6:14:54 PM): you dont think sting has the same problem?
kldafrlka (6:15:21 PM): If he does, I haven't seen it yet.
kldafrlka (6:15:44 PM): And these days, I don't care as much as I once did.
SoupSoupAD (6:15:49 PM): what do you think about him paying $500 to get in the studio?
kldafrlka (6:16:08 PM): IF he did that, I'd say it was foolish
kldafrlka (6:16:42 PM): he could've paid a stripper $500 and used her to get in free and gotten a ton more plugs
SoupSoupAD (6:18:13 PM): can we continue tonight?
SoupSoupAD (6:18:15 PM): i have to run
kldafrlka (6:18:23 PM): how rude!
SoupSoupAD (6:18:28 PM): sorry
kldafrlka (6:18:29 PM): NP...
SoupSoupAD (6:18:34 PM): im getting pulled away here
kldafrlka (6:18:46 PM): I'll try to remember to leave IM open
kldafrlka (6:18:54 PM): c-ya
SoupSoupAD (6:19:18 PM): ok
SoupSoupAD (6:19:20 PM): thanks
a few days later.....
SoupSoupAD (7:40:07 PM): hi
kldafrlka (7:40:18 PM): you are?
SoupSoupAD (7:40:22 PM): ha
SoupSoupAD (7:40:25 PM): sorry
kldafrlka (7:40:27 PM): np
SoupSoupAD (7:40:45 PM): can we continue our interview now? do you have some time?
kldafrlka (7:40:55 PM): now's as good a time as any
SoupSoupAD (7:40:59 PM): cool
kldafrlka (7:41:17 PM): I am working on something, so if there's a delay in responding...
SoupSoupAD (7:41:21 PM): no worries
SoupSoupAD (7:42:04 PM): so, we left off talking about wackbag
kldafrlka (7:42:20 PM): yep
SoupSoupAD (7:42:22 PM): and how people might feel you have done a 180
kldafrlka (7:42:44 PM): have I really done a 180 though?
SoupSoupAD (7:42:48 PM): well
kldafrlka (7:42:52 PM): I meant it's been a few years since all that shit went down
SoupSoupAD (7:42:57 PM): wackbag is oa.com times a thousand
SoupSoupAD (7:43:05 PM): but you seem to accept it now
kldafrlka (7:44:15 PM): I guess because time has passed maybe I've changed a bit. I always did maintain that i am human and as such subject to change my mind or view about basically anything
SoupSoupAD (7:44:25 PM): of course
SoupSoupAD (7:44:31 PM): what do you think influenced that?
kldafrlka (7:44:40 PM): Maturity
SoupSoupAD (7:45:29 PM): do you think you'll get bored with being forced to hold back your true feelings on the board?
kldafrlka (7:45:30 PM): working in the professional world I've realized that sometimes being right has nothing to do with winning
SoupSoupAD (7:45:40 PM): what are you trying to win on wackbag?
SoupSoupAD (7:45:43 PM): acceptance?
kldafrlka (7:45:53 PM): not at all
SoupSoupAD (7:45:57 PM): to be part of stingrays inner circle?
kldafrlka (7:46:02 PM): not at all
kldafrlka (7:46:29 PM): what I was saying is that sometimes you just have to play by the rules if you want to play at all
SoupSoupAD (7:46:51 PM): even if those rules are against your core beliefs?
kldafrlka (7:47:03 PM): I like participating in boards associated with the show. wackbag is the one right now.
SoupSoupAD (7:47:29 PM): so you are willing to sacrifice what you believe for a chance to post on a message board?
kldafrlka (7:47:48 PM): I really don't see where I would have a problem voicing my opinion on any topic on wackbag. I may have to use a bit of tact (which I never did in the past), but I can still voice my opinion.
SoupSoupAD (7:48:11 PM): people have been banned for simply being critical about the show
SoupSoupAD (7:48:17 PM): or too negative
SoupSoupAD (7:48:39 PM): or just cause they happen to be from .net or cdih
kldafrlka (7:49:07 PM): I think stingray has made some changes recently and will be a bit more tolerant of those situations
SoupSoupAD (7:49:31 PM): really?
SoupSoupAD (7:49:35 PM): what changes are those?
kldafrlka (7:49:48 PM): he did invite everyone who's ever been banned to re-register with a clean slate
SoupSoupAD (7:50:51 PM): but still under the same ridiculous rules
SoupSoupAD (7:51:05 PM): i dont even see that offer made on the site either
kldafrlka (7:51:47 PM): it was there
kldafrlka (7:52:08 PM): and yes, some of the rules are a bit over the top, but I guess he's trying to keep the board in good standing with the show
kldafrlka (7:52:34 PM): and considering all of the plugs he gets, I think it's working
SoupSoupAD (7:52:56 PM): why do you think the board needs plugs or association with the show? dont you think its more trouble than its worth?
kldafrlka (7:53:32 PM): it brings a lot of hassles at times sure, but at the end of the day, you get a bunch of people together talking about the show that we all listen to
SoupSoupAD (7:54:07 PM): but you are the shows bitch
SoupSoupAD (7:54:19 PM): you cant be critical
kldafrlka (7:54:27 PM): yep, we've seen that in the past
SoupSoupAD (7:55:27 PM): did you ever have beef with gonzo?
kldafrlka (7:55:32 PM): I think if you have a legitimate(sp?) gripe with the show you can voice it. Lately, most of the complaints have been shit that's such a non-issue
kldafrlka (7:55:49 PM): sure, I've gotten into some shit with GS in the past
SoupSoupAD (7:56:01 PM): over what?
kldafrlka (7:56:47 PM): don't really remember, I think we got into it over something on oa.com and I started going off on him about personal shit (that had previously been discussed on the board)...
kldafrlka (7:57:11 PM): then at a softball game I went up to shake his hand and he wouldn't acknowledge me. He played me for such the fool.
kldafrlka (7:57:59 PM): I totally bought into it that he was mad and only later found out he was jerking my chain. We've since reconciled... he tussled my hair and I let him babysit my nephew.
SoupSoupAD (7:58:17 PM): ha
SoupSoupAD (7:59:37 PM): any other famous feuds?
kldafrlka (8:00:31 PM): have something in mind?
kldafrlka (8:00:50 PM): there's the on-going vos-kid nig fued
SoupSoupAD (8:00:56 PM): ever with italian princess
kldafrlka (8:01:03 PM): not that I remember
SoupSoupAD (8:01:04 PM): opak?
kldafrlka (8:01:36 PM): as I remember, opak quit the board as a result of an argument he and I had
SoupSoupAD (8:01:47 PM): really?
kldafrlka (8:02:02 PM): that's how I remember it, but there may have been more involved
SoupSoupAD (8:02:17 PM): can you be more specific?
kldafrlka (8:02:23 PM): it was so long ago and really was about nothing so I don't remember the details... it may still be on the oa.com archive
SoupSoupAD (8:02:29 PM): he deleted your posts
SoupSoupAD (8:02:35 PM): like, all of them
SoupSoupAD (8:02:41 PM): that was part of the beef
kldafrlka (8:02:49 PM): if you know, why are you testing my memory?
SoupSoupAD (8:03:06 PM): yes, i am testing your memory
SoupSoupAD (8:03:12 PM): trying to pry the info out
SoupSoupAD (8:03:12 PM): ha
kldafrlka (8:03:22 PM): now I kind of remember that I had to do some investigating to find out who deleted my posts because nobody would own up to it
SoupSoupAD (8:03:47 PM): and he quit over the fact someone defended you over him?
kldafrlka (8:03:48 PM): somebody ratted him out, so I called him on it. he was pissed that I was able to find out information and get re-instated after he banned me
SoupSoupAD (8:04:09 PM): you had friends behind the scenes at oa
kldafrlka (8:04:15 PM): of course I did
kldafrlka (8:04:32 PM): Upuauat was kind enough to take me under his wing early on
kldafrlka (8:04:42 PM): and through that, I had an in with Sean
SoupSoupAD (8:05:18 PM): ever have a falling out with sean?
kldafrlka (8:05:44 PM): I did quit as a mod of cdih because he was breaking my balls about not doing enough
kldafrlka (8:06:17 PM): I over-reacted and deleted my account... we laughed about it later, but I never asked or was invited back to be a mod
SoupSoupAD (8:06:57 PM): what do you think about sean leaving cdih and pretty much saying everyone on it was joke
kldafrlka (8:06:59 PM): at the time, we really had some grander ideas about how a board should be run and how there should be limited rules and no overbearing mods
kldafrlka (8:07:34 PM): I think once you hear the term "the SeanCold" it does put things in perspective.
kldafrlka (8:08:13 PM): I remember when I first joined oa.com it all seemed so big and the mods seemed like they had some sort of power. It was like being popular or being part of the in crowd mattered.
kldafrlka (8:08:49 PM): eventually I found out that the mods treated each other as much like scumbags as the members did
SoupSoupAD (8:10:59 PM): it was all a game
kldafrlka (8:12:02 PM): it's kind of like wrestling... unless you notice that every conflict is blown up beyond proportion and never solved on broadcast tv but rather on the pay-per-view shows, it's pretty entertainign
SoupSoupAD (8:13:14 PM): but it seems like people really did get pissed
kldafrlka (8:13:19 PM): some did
SoupSoupAD (8:13:27 PM): tell us about kee kee
kldafrlka (8:13:41 PM): what is there to tell?
kldafrlka (8:14:04 PM): we hung out a few times, neither of us was really into the other so it went away
kldafrlka (8:14:15 PM): haven't talked to her in years
SoupSoupAD (8:16:48 PM): i had to ask
kldafrlka (8:17:07 PM): I wish it was a better story. But, it's not
SoupSoupAD (8:17:41 PM): any other board hook ups?
kldafrlka (8:18:12 PM): None to speak of
kldafrlka (8:19:19 PM): I talked to tankgrrl for a while, but she had a man so that wasn't going anywhere
kldafrlka (8:19:53 PM): I hung out with BeckyDC once, but when I met up with her Sean was with her... she was more of a friend than anything anyway
SoupSoupAD (8:20:22 PM): becky got around
SoupSoupAD (8:20:23 PM): ha
kldafrlka (8:20:36 PM): becky was a nice girl
kldafrlka (8:20:46 PM): that's what I CHOOSE to believe
SoupSoupAD (8:21:22 PM): that awful posting style
SoupSoupAD (8:21:31 PM): ~~**
kldafrlka (8:21:33 PM): ha ha
kldafrlka (8:21:44 PM): aol chat obviously had an influence on her
SoupSoupAD (8:22:33 PM): what about shelle bink
SoupSoupAD (8:22:38 PM): did you know her?
kldafrlka (8:23:32 PM): I think I met her once at a board gathering, but I'm not sure. I did talk to her a few times on AIM. She was friggin' nuts.
SoupSoupAD (8:24:11 PM): nuts?
SoupSoupAD (8:24:15 PM): how so?
kldafrlka (8:24:53 PM): The shit that went on in her life was just too much for someone her age
kldafrlka (8:25:04 PM): to say she had issues would be putting it very lightly
SoupSoupAD (8:25:40 PM): and she shared them with you?
kldafrlka (8:26:16 PM): nah, most if it was evident or explicitly revealed in her posts on the board
SoupSoupAD (8:40:41 PM): and now
SoupSoupAD (8:40:46 PM): for the questionairre
SoupSoupAD (8:40:53 PM): but with a spin
SoupSoupAD (8:40:54 PM): first
