who cares about quizzes? Honestly.
boycott? how does one boycott a web application that's gonna be dead in less than a month anyway?
So long and thanks for all the fish. That comment pretty much sums it up, don't it? For several months, I played the ppx every day. I think I reached a rank of 82. It went downhill from when I started. Here's the decline of the ppx, as I see it. Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong. 1. Rabbit quits. 2. the rooster quits. ppxbroker.com dies. 3. We are ignored by the admins for a while. 4. The props start to suck big-time. 5. We get new forums. WTF? 6. we get new admins. they suck. No offense, but they did. 7. New admins ignore us. 8. Brian Boru becomes vocal. He was right, in the end, but boy was he a jerk. 9. I quit. (Did I mention that I'm egotistical? No? Well, I am.) 10. Taylor shows up. For a while she's ok and kicks butt, but then she starts treating us like we're fifth graders. 11. Leagues were introduced. They were non-functional. wow. 12. The ppx closes. big surprise. A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON LEAGUES: RABBIT FIRST LET SLIP THAT THEY WERE IN THE WORKS, AND SHE QUIT IN gosh, musta been FEBRUARY OF 2008. SO THEY WERE IN THE WORKS FOR A LOOOONG TIME. TWO-YEAR PROGRAM? MY ASS. Also. my popsci subscription? it expired in december. I chose not to renew. I certainly had the money to, I just didn't feel like it. It was replaced by Hot Rod, Four Wheeler, and Peterson's Four Wheel and Off Road. RIP ppx. Quizzes? Is that a bad joke? you're crazy if you think that it'll actually go anywhere.
speaking of stalkers...
Personally, I think you are all :-P so there!

Oh. My god. I remember this guy. That is not good. And btw, I have commitment issues, but you just might see me a bit more frequently. 9th hour study hall this semester and all that. :-)
mike, that's a bad idea. We already discussed that situation, and the result was that... well, you know. Or ask Mark.
As a 14 year old, Novey made fun of me. As a result, I shot myself repeatedly in the head with something that hurt. Seriously, you two, grow up. Pig 'n' die, learn to take it. He doesn't hate you personally, you're just showing your ass and he's calling you out for it.
dang. Well, I'm not gonna care if I get passed by someone. Let the better man win-err, enter the top 25.
