#17669 Avatars

Posted by Grinch on 31 January 2004 - 01:38 AM in Site Feedback

what about a hitler?

You were probably joking, but I hate that man more than any other person that ever lived.

The word "Auschwitz" gives me the chills down my spine.

If anybody has done any research on the Holocaust, you may know that sick/young/helpless people were immediately lead to the gas chambers for extermination. The dead bodies were then stripped of valuables (such as gold fillings) and thrown into the crematory - basically a large oven used to burn the victims.

After reading that once the Russian allied invasion begun, the bomb raids destroyed all three remaining gas chambers at Auschwitz. The Nazis, realizing that they're primary way of killing (at their largest death camp) had been destroyed, they decided to kill as many prisoners as possible by just throwing them into the crematories...alive.

The thought of having my skin burned off in an oven while still alive makes me want to vomit.



#23700 Avatars

Posted by Grinch on 07 April 2004 - 03:46 AM in Site Feedback

You know, the only way to get a custom avatar is to submit five (or was it six?) pieces of original content to NH. There are some people, like me, that already own their own Nerf site and usually don't want to post their content on...somebody else's. Basically, I don't want to put my Nerf World content onto Nerf Haven because...well, I already have a host for it, and I want my site to grow as well.

What I'm trying to say is, isn't there any other way to gain a custom avatar/title? I mean, I would gladly pay a small fee for such.



#23875 Avatars

Posted by Grinch on 09 April 2004 - 08:37 PM in Site Feedback

It's a long shot, but I'd like a few Dr. Seuss avatars. They don't have to be Grinches or anything. As a matter of fact, I don't care if they're Grinched or not.



#25917 Avatars

Posted by Grinch on 11 May 2004 - 11:06 PM in Site Feedback

Next on my to do list: Speed Racer, Dr. Seuss, and Family Guy avatars.

Hey, I didn't see that. Thanks, Julie!



#18587 Avatars

Posted by Grinch on 09 February 2004 - 07:04 PM in Site Feedback

AC/DC

Yes!!



#38080 Avatars

Posted by Grinch on 01 October 2004 - 12:08 AM in Site Feedback

Holy. Shit.

Julie, you fucking rule. Dr. Seuss avatars...*snif*

Really? You mean this one, right?

#8701 Avatars

Do you think I could get a Grinch made up? :rolleyes:



#4052 Avatars

Posted by Grinch on 27 April 2003 - 03:42 PM in Site Feedback

Y'know that computerized image of the EaB you made for Gunned Down? Well, could you make me a (I know this sounds complicated) PVC multibarreled 1500 New style?



#29142 More Love From Hasrbo

Posted by Grinch on 22 June 2004 - 12:07 PM in General Nerf

Those look like they were designed with at least a little influence from halo.

Yes, they were. The Scout is the Pistol. The Hornet is the Plasma Rifle. The Titan is the Rocket Launcher.



#31002 More Love From Hasrbo

Posted by Grinch on 12 July 2004 - 05:10 PM in General Nerf

Naw man, its the N-Stike

THIRST

So he didn't capitalize it. So what.

Post whore.



#31023 More Love From Hasrbo

Posted by Grinch on 12 July 2004 - 08:01 PM in General Nerf

A'ight. Guess I was wrong. I thought the post was unnecessary, but apparently it was considered as relevant.

Wait...why aren't I flaming back like a n00b? WHY?!



#31005 More Love From Hasrbo

Posted by Grinch on 12 July 2004 - 05:25 PM in General Nerf

I don't get it...please remind me why it was necessary to post the same link twice? They all go to the same place for me.

Grinch, you have pushed me over the edge. You just IM me threatening banning for nothing, you need to sit in a corner, cry like an emo kid, and then, stop talking. You no betetr than anyone else, so stop acting proffesional. Oh yeah, and dont be such a prick.


Hmm. I'm sorry to break this to you Thirsty, but I can't ban. I'm just a Global Mod. Oh, and it's not nice to spoil people's plans for a NHQ revamp! :) Somebody needs to learn some tact.

I'm not sure what sitting in a corner would help. And the emo part? ...yeah. Sorry for acting professional. I guess we all have different feelings about each other!

Sorry, but I'm not the kind of person that likes to mindlessly flame. On a forum, language gets you nowhere. ;)



#50118 Better Than A Nite Finder ?

Posted by Grinch on 20 March 2005 - 07:34 PM in Modifications

Awesome. Here's my opinions, though. I think you should put a vertical bar that connects both cocking handles. That way, you could prime both guns simutaneously. Oh, and I would also try cleaning it up just a little bit. Then it might look like this:

Either way, awesome job.



#31762 Who Would Buy Colored Backer Rod?

Posted by Grinch on 20 July 2004 - 02:29 AM in General Nerf

Heck, I'd have any other color of FBR other than gray/black.



#34724 Troll Wallpapers

Posted by Grinch on 21 August 2004 - 05:04 AM in News

Oy, Groove. That's mighty nice.

I'm not sure if this'll count as a submission for a custom title (*hint hint*) but I made one o' my own.

#19141 Feb YANO (was Hey, Assholes)

Posted by Grinch on 16 February 2004 - 03:00 PM in Nerf Wars

I'm trying my best to get over there, but my parents are very paranoid about me hanging out with people I've never met in person.



#19145 Feb YANO (was Hey, Assholes)

Posted by Grinch on 16 February 2004 - 04:54 PM in Nerf Wars

Okay. Here's the deal on my arrival:

My dad talked to Kevin today. My dad said he felt comfortable with the situation, and agreed to take me the weekend.

He's still a bit unhappy about having to sit around all day, but, what the hell. I'm still trying to convince Spanky (webmaster of NHQ) to go along to YANO. He lives about ten minutes away from me.

You guys are going to freak out when you realize how short I am.



#19248 Feb YANO (was Hey, Assholes)

Posted by Grinch on 17 February 2004 - 07:23 PM in Nerf Wars

I'd just like to add that this war is going to PW33N.

And for you new guys we're totally serious on the eyewear rule, no eye protection and you will NOT be playing, we've had to turn kids away before and it sucks.

Or, even worse, we'll stick you with the dicky safety goggles and you'll be mercilessly mocked and ridiculed by your peers.

Okay. I'm coming for sure.

About the eyewear thing: are sunglasses really enough? Or should I wear something more protective?

I'm bringing about 100 darts. I hope it's a good amount.



#19312 Feb YANO (was Hey, Assholes)

Posted by Grinch on 18 February 2004 - 06:42 PM in Nerf Wars

Ah. One more question: how many guns is it customary to bring? I've never been to a major war, but in smaller wars I usually just take a 1500 and a Lock 'n Load. Should I take more than that, or does it all really depend on what I'm comfortable with?



#19101 Feb YANO (was Hey, Assholes)

Posted by Grinch on 15 February 2004 - 06:37 PM in Nerf Wars

I'm almost certain I'm coming. But I still have to talk my mom/dad into it.

I'll probably be bringing a friend.

Now then, how far would Irvine be from the San Fernando Valley? As in, the Northridge area.



#19053 Feb YANO (was Hey, Assholes)

Posted by Grinch on 15 February 2004 - 12:16 AM in Nerf Wars

~snip~

Venado sounds fine. Why don't we just try a war there, and if we get kicked out, we can just retreat to the park.



#15981 Feb YANO (was Hey, Assholes)

Posted by Grinch on 07 January 2004 - 10:54 PM in Nerf Wars

I think I might come. How many of you actually live in the San Fernando Valley?



#16924 Feb YANO (was Hey, Assholes)

Posted by Grinch on 23 January 2004 - 12:46 AM in Nerf Wars

Well, I'm almost certainly coming, and I'm trying to get Spanky to go as well. He lives a ten minute drive away from me...



#16542 Feb YANO (was Hey, Assholes)

Posted by Grinch on 17 January 2004 - 01:14 AM in Nerf Wars

I desperately want to go to a LANO.

I have but one question: are there a lot of other 14 year old kids there? My mom's a little weird about me playing with guys twice as old as me. Doesn't really matter to me, though!



#17572 Feb YANO (was Hey, Assholes)

Posted by Grinch on 30 January 2004 - 12:09 AM in Nerf Wars

If I end up coming, all I'm bringing is a Max Shot, a 1500, and a sidearm. But then again, 1500s don't need sidearms...



#19007 Feb YANO (was Hey, Assholes)

Posted by Grinch on 14 February 2004 - 01:12 PM in Nerf Wars

Can somebody tell me exactly what happened at Venado that is keeping us from going back?



#18867 Feb YANO (was Hey, Assholes)

Posted by Grinch on 12 February 2004 - 06:37 PM in Nerf Wars

So, are we all still on for this war?



#11768 Holy Crap! Stefan's Back!

Posted by Grinch on 23 October 2003 - 05:13 PM in General Nerf

I'm confused. Is Stefan back or not? Or is he being possessed by VACC? Or is this all a scheme?

:huh:



#11672 Holy Crap! Stefan's Back!

Posted by Grinch on 21 October 2003 - 09:54 PM in General Nerf

*Shakes Stefan's hand*

Finally, I get to "meet" the creator of the Stefan Dart.

If it weren't for you, then I probably would never be here today. When I saw that someone had created a way to make nerf darts, I was hooked.

Here's some common misspellings of your name.

-stephan
-stefen
-steaphen
-stafen

I've seen this one before!

-steahphean

Enjoy your stay here, Stefan.

Right now there a topic in trading...

"Stphans for sale"

Not only did they put in a "ph", they forgot the "e".

n00bs these days... ^_^



#11911 Holy Crap! Stefan's Back!

Posted by Grinch on 26 October 2003 - 01:45 AM in General Nerf

Your country sucks ass.

Please don't say that.

I love my country, and I don't think there is any reason we should be comparing them in terms of "which is better".

Enough already. :lol:



#11641 Holy Crap! Stefan's Back!

Posted by Grinch on 21 October 2003 - 05:55 PM in General Nerf

Woah...dude...this is like, the most amazing return ever...

Ok, considering you've been absent from the NIC since, what was it, late 2000, early 2001? I'm not sure. I'll fill you in.

1) As you know, NerfOnline closed.
2) Cxwq, VACC, and Spoon opened this bad-ass site.
3) Nerf HQ is the other thriving forum in the NIC, but...it's more of a home to the n00bs.
4) NerfCenter closed.
5) Cxwq discovered that brass is a great barrel type for Micro Stefans.
6) Nerf Online re-opened with the absence of forums.
7) We've seen the introduction of the Airtech, Tech Target, Atom Blasters, and our good friends at Lanard Toys lines.
8) And, you continue to be the most famous Nerfer in the NIC.

Oh, and, in case you wanted to know...

Nerf Reviewed is still up, hosted by NC.

#11679 Holy Crap! Stefan's Back!

Posted by Grinch on 21 October 2003 - 11:41 PM in General Nerf

: snip :

Well, in retrospect, your darts have been improved and simplified. I believe your original recipe called for a drill press, a sodering iron, or a pencil to make the hole in the back of the dart--although now, since all the barrel types we use don't have poles in them, we use the glue gun not only for melting a hole in the front of the dart for the weight, but also to melt a hole in the back of the dart.

To refresh your memory: 5/8 size for mega Stefans, 1/2 for micros, and 3/0 fishing weights for megas, BB size for micros. Zero darts, on the other hand, and micro Stefans with foam craft sheet wrapped around the tip of the dart so that they'll fit in PVC.

A Tutorial

Heh, you were expecting not to be welcomed? Listen, man, anybody on this board who said "Who the fuck are you" would get the pants flamed off 'em. On the other hand, I don't really think there's a Nerfer in the NIC who doesn't know what a Stefan dart is. It seems that over time, "Stefan Darts" have gone from being somebody's name to more of a type...there are people that really have no idea who you were (or are) and why we call 'em Stefans.

Anyhow, I welcome you back. You truly are a legend. ^_^



#27412 Code Of Conduct

Posted by Grinch on 31 May 2004 - 11:54 PM in Site Feedback

Number one: I'm not whover eighther of them are
Number two: The only reason I said spazkake is because everyone else called Flinch Spazkake
Number three: I don't feel like being persecuted for assumed crimes. I think I'll just read the site and not post at all. Sorry for any disturbances I may and probably have caused.

Well, if Cxwq made the assumption that you were Spazkake and Flinch based on your IP address...you have no defense. Believe me, if you are either of the above assholes (Flinch/Spazkake), the best thing for you to do right now is to admit it and beg for mercy to be let back onto these boards.



#27040 Code Of Conduct

Posted by Grinch on 25 May 2004 - 10:45 PM in Site Feedback

You all do realize that the last three were pretty much a joke, seeing as how there's no way to employ them.

Yay! At least one person here gets my jokes - though that doesn't imply that he found them funny I suppose.

Anyhow, 'Ban Stupidity' and '.:Blue Ice:.' are jokes. Disallow new accounts is entirely possible, though probably not a good idea for the future of the community.

By "Ban Stupidity" I thought you meant to just ban someone the very second they acted like a jackass. Which most people do when they join NH. :cry:



#27011 Code Of Conduct

Posted by Grinch on 25 May 2004 - 05:51 PM in Site Feedback

I voted for: it's good. "Ban stupidity"? That's just plain stupid. A lot of people come on these boards because many other forums allow AIM slang. Banning them because of their ignorance is unfair.

I say: if they make a dumb post, warn them. If they continue to do it, like our pal Flinch, you should be banned.



#27068 Code Of Conduct

Posted by Grinch on 26 May 2004 - 06:39 PM in Site Feedback

I think one of the LCM members(I think Langley)

Oooh, Langley's not gonna like this. :P



#27560 Code Of Conduct

Posted by Grinch on 02 June 2004 - 05:52 PM in Site Feedback

My parents think they "own me" now, all because they have worked out how to search for "porn" in the history... its reasons like that why the deliberate typo was created...

N.B. i was almost castrated for visiting a site that contained the exact phrase "no pornography allowed" ... and it showed up in a basic history search, took a little explaining for that one ...

Tools => Internet Options => Clear History

#12480 As And Pb Vs Nerf

Posted by Grinch on 06 November 2003 - 07:09 PM in Off Topic

Okay her is what I have to say: Paintball automatic: $300+ (I think) Paintballs: $15 for 500 and like $50 or $60 for 2000. Nerf Automatic: Like $10 or $15. Nerf Darts: you can make 100 for $3.

Uh, yeah. We know that. Stop arguing. It doesn't bother me, it shouldn't bother you. I don't really care what one guy halfway across the country says about my hobby.

And if you're that self-consious you should really seek help.



#12432 As And Pb Vs Nerf

Posted by Grinch on 05 November 2003 - 10:42 PM in Off Topic

Alright.

First off, stop flaming. It's pretty obvious that nothing we say is possibly going to change his opinion.

Second, Nerfing does not make us "gay". Matter of fact, the only thing that determines your sexual orientation is the chemical makeup in your brain. But that's besides the point. I think you're getting a bit confused here, nerfisgreat01. People don't Nerf because we want a realistic war-game. That's for Airsoft and Paintball to handle. We play with Nerf guns because it is a small, unique hobby. And, like Janga said, it's pretty cool to mess around with something in order to make it better.

Third, there is no way that you, nerfisgreat01, are possibly going to change our opinions. You'll probably have a deleted account by the end of the day. But you probably already knew that.

Fourth, you obviously have done little (if any) research on this subject. Like most trolls such as yourself, you come thinking that Nerf guns are little toys that shoot no more than 20 feet. That's true. But, like many members have said, a brass-modified SuperMaxx 5000 is capable of shooting over 120 feet. And personally, I have paintballed before, and I think getting hit with a capsule of paint is much less paintful than getting hit with a point of hard glue...that doesn't explode on contact.

Finally, there is no reason you have to try to convince us to "convert". There is no reason for this rivalry between Nerf and paintball.

Leave. Just, leave. You're not helping, convincing, and either way, you'll get deleted eventually.
