Who do you actually respect around here?

And your avatar sucks. Always has, always will.

I know what you are, but what am I?

wow, you're so right... and making fun of geeks on the internet is 1337, you're awesome.

I also dream in 16-bit while pretending to be a girl.

Thanks to those who mentioned me, and be assured that respect is returned in kind. I like most everyone else here too. However, I'm not one for popularity contests (even as innocent as this one), so this is the extent of my participation in this thread.

I respect omfgninjas for selling me a GameCube Preview disc.

I'd pay him to take that frosted mini-wheat thing out. *-neo

Wow. I don't deserve to be mentioned. My knowledge is slim, my store is understocked and overpriced and I do everything that I would turn around and tell you that I hate in message board posters. The only time I'm not acting like some arrogant troll prickfuck is on the rare occasion that someone is talking about something I like and we don't get interrupted by some poor soul with the audacity to disagree. And I feel as though I've made a special fool of myself in that "worst gameshop" thread. So thanks for those who saw through all my glaring faults to find reason enough to respect me. I appreciate it.

"Everyone here is a phony, so how can you respect a phony."

While I certainly wouldn't blanket everyone over by calling them "phony", I do feel that getting to know someone through a message board is a bit iffy. For instance, I was very unsure about Master. When I found out he was moving to my neck of the woods, I didn't know if that sounded cool to me or not. Then he got here and proved to be a total standup guy and an absolute humorous riot. A special person indeed and I'd have never known it had we only interacted through forums.

So what I'm gonna do is list all the people from here that I know and interact with outside of this forum. I never ever chat so I'm going to list the three people I ever chat with too:

Technosphile: "It's principalities in this!"
Master: "N-n-n-n-no... this was a shmup... (inside joke)
Kaneda: Bought his first proper shmup offa me and is now the undisputed king of Washington.
Boomsta: Fellow music fan and ace guy.
Shakey: see my comment on Boomsta, but with bonus points for disliking techno, loving jazz and having a band.
Paleface: He ain't from here but he's my homie online and in real life.
Bob Vila: "Did you say more minigames?"
Corran_Fox: "Your dog keeps kicking me!"
JM: We've only talked on the phone but he's a true Ace and I wish he'd move back to Washington.
Bbobb: Same deal, phone only. But this guy is certainly the greatest contact I've ever had in business.
Seven Force: Chatting via ICQ is the closest connection we've made but this fella is the INFO HOOKUP! Can't thank him enough.
Sidez: Again only ICQ but I hear he's entertaining visiting Sea-town. Fuckin' hope so mate!
60hz/padman: Easily the funniest person on the web plus he's 100% hard crad! And I'm a bit bummed that he and me don't talk as much as we used to. Bigup yourself 60!
Geruto: Boss of all Belgians and a super guy. He singlehandedly financed my dog's treadmill so Marco sends Nuff Respect!
JAPJAC: Most misunderstood award goes to this man. A hero of the import scene(or just me) and a quality guy.

I can't honestly think of anyone else that I've "kicked it" with so that's my list.

From a strictly forum point of view, I have the utmost respect for all crazy hardware modders. I wish I was that cool. You guys are the kings and I wish I was smarter/better with my hands so I could show off some wicked shit too.

I suppose the only thing left to list is the disrespected:

Aw man, I can't do it. There's only one and he's the most pointlessly argumentative sonofabitch I have EVER seen anywhere. Thankfully he seems to not be posting lately. Beyond that inconsequential little sourpuss everyone here deserves my respect.

I'd also like to attach a special nod for MVS. After the GG! debacle he and Kenshin were the only ones who didn't even leave for five minutes. There was alot of flak flying during that short period and this man weathered it all, and here he remains. We haven't always gotten along the best but I do respect him for not running off and hiding.

Sorry if anyone feels they should've gotten mention but didn't. There's a ton of quality folks here.

Box_Drink - his posts go over my head a lot, but he's a brilliant guy - that much I can see.

my name is Box Drink not Box_Drink. I guess proper spelling is over your head as well.
