Official Backpacker,com thread

“WTF?”

“So cloudy, you got into the new site over in our world? Using your old name and everything transferred?

Good job. I'm having issues.”

“Hey Mapes, I think it's your turn to drive the Short Yellow Bus! The news kids have to sit in the back though where somebody threw up last time.”

“Note to self:

Never hang you head out of the window of the Short Yellow Bus if you are more than 5 rows back.”

“Having the backpacker.snob gang here is like when your cousin from out of state came to stay with your family and you were in charge of being their buddy for the whole week.”

I resent that remark! I am not the UNCOOL COUSIN.”

“I resent that remark! I am not the UNCOOL COUSIN.

So are you the hot cousin that always made us feel guilty for looking at in a bakini?”

Cool! We're snobs? I didn't know we were snobs.”

“No you aren't snobs. The site and the magazine are snobs. :)”

“more like slobs then snobs
or more like snots then snobs”

“I won't go to the pool with them if they're dressed like cowboys.

D�j� vue all over again, eh Vann? �The magazine site goes down for a week at a time (multiple times) and the whole crew takes off for OAN, LOTT.... only they had about 10 users and rolled in with about 30. �Talk about an invasion!

When the hell was that? �1998? �1999?

There was this nut job "Poopypants" who showed up....”

“I remember those day Tilt”

““more like slobs then snobs
or more like snots then snobs”

“ more like snots then snobs

snotrockets are cool!”

“I never felt guilty looking at my hot cousin in her bikini. Not even when I was in bed thinking about her.”

“Poopypants. What a trail name. In those days, we still talked of the crazy sleeping bag guy too.”

“Hey Chuck! �

Yes, those were the days.... We were like a swarm of locusts, �LOL”

“I thought it was captain poopypants.”

“That was before his field promotion.

Ah.... the Sleeping Bag Wars with Wiggy! �There was some guy always talking about his bags losing loft. �Wiggy got so mad he hired a private detective to find him, then posted his name, address, etc. on the board. Wiggy was really disappointed that he wasn't a competitor.... He was just some backpacker on the 'Net.”

“captain underpants and mr. poopypants are frequently confused.

“Looks like the OAN forums are still around. They were spammed out for a while. http://www.greatoutdoorforums.com/forums/index.php”

“LOL � � Captain Underpants is pretty scary ---

Yeah, I looked in on them a while ago and it was Spam City (no offense, Spam). �

Wow. �Over 8,000 registered users..... and no posts!”

ever since the software update, I've been seeing a lot of those question marks in black diamond thingees. Especially with Tilt posts. I see two after the "LOL", one after"(no offense spam)."

and one before "Over 8,000..."

Anyone else getting these?”

“Yeah.... sometimes I'll put in an extra space or two for readibility (alt 0160) because regular spacebar spaces are removed.... But since the changeover they're coming out screwy.

”

“Maybe they'll show up later? LOL”

“i see 6 question diamonds.”

“WTF is a question diamond? LOL”

“These:

� � � � � �”

“yep I see them too...I just thought it was something odd...

And no, I don't wear a bikini and I'd rather you not stare at me :)”

“So was there any warning over there? Run for thebackpacker.com, we're going down! How many are drowning in the cybersea?”

“I think all of us trolls should stay over here. The natives seemed to be really annoyed by all of us posers.”

“I still can't get in over there. I'll try again later.

I'd rather the trolls stick to BP.com and leave TT to real folks.”

“lol. I know you guys aren't serious and don't really hate us. But it's funny cause like 2 out of 3 people I see here post over there. lolol”

“We like newbies. They taste like chicken.”

“Looks like little by little, this thread is being thrown out like a dirty old sock.

They're being left back in over on the other side.

I told Steve to wait to reset my password. I'm *working*, see. I don't need the distractions right now. Um.... I need to get some stuff done. Tomorrow is my last day with the J-O-B and I need to pack.

Yeah, it's hopeless....

“I can't get in over there no matter what I try. I created a different user name with another e-mail addy. The user info page says that i'm logged in, but the forums don't show it and won't accept me. Wrong password sometimes even thougjh it is correct and other times it says it has no record of username "guest" even though I put in a valid e-mail addy.”

“I can't figure it out either NG. So I'm thinking about staying here and annoying everyone cause I'm a noob.”

“Are they having to reset each pword manually?

< yikes >”

“NorthernGuy, email bp2go and he will change your password. Then when you use that password you will get in.”

“"Are they having to reset each pword manually?"

Thats what it looks like.”

“�I can't figure it out either NG. So I'm thinking about staying here and annoying everyone cause I'm a noob.�

I e-mailed steve so I shhould get in sometime. Meantime I just need to find some bushco fans that I can torture for awhile. I just came back from a wonderful week in Mexico to a grey, snowy landscape here in western Canada so I am in just the mood to be nasty to someone. Any takers out there?”

“That's what the little 'fireball' icon at the top is for.... Guns, Bush, horses, dogs, Iran, Iraq, religion, climate change..... "My Stove Can Kick Your Stove's Ass"....

We Cover The Waterfront, LOL”

“As you can tell, it's not a hard and fast rule, though.... and some people don't follow instructions well, or have developmental issues.

But 'incendiary issues' can more Usually be found in what's called the 'Fuego' category.”

“So THIS is where everyone is?

Buncha addicts! :D”

“I am ad dikted to stinky butts.
(o:3”

“Ok, someone at our board just figured out how everyone can get logged in. It seems to be working as several have posted to thank him.

Here is the link to the thread

“Its up and working now. Wow, what a difference and what small print.”

“Is there a war going on? Did I miss something?”

“Nah, no war, fridge. ;)

The mag just tore down the old forums and they've had a hell of a time getting the new one to work...

It's sorta fixed....”

“It's different.”
