Ah, philosophy. What was that to a young and carefree 16 year old? Life was strong and experiences were ever fresh like the morning dew on the wispy flowing grasses. Henry David Thoreau's words brought a pleasant calm to my being back then, and the contemplation of the wonderment of nature's gifts to my senses stirred my soul. Such an innocent time... Cool

Now, I'm an old guy. Laughing

^^^ What's philiosophy to a 16yo? Existential hedonism, that's what! If they read some good ol' Soren K, I think teenage life and the prospect of a settled adult life would make much more sense. I'm 26, and still not settled. I like to take my time with the whole "acting maturely" and "being responsible" stuff. Life's more fun that way.

Er... I racked up a high post count, yes. But in terms of actual baits... I've had "Hello I'm New Here" noobs get better results than me. Sorry to disillusion you, but I've still got a lot to learn such as that having ADD does not lend itself to successful baiting.

^^^ I knew that it goes by post count....
I meant that it only took you 6 months to rack up 1300 posts Laughing

as you can see, I am "not quite a newb", although i have not yet done ONE SINGLE BAIT. i have not even gotten past a "i am interested" reply Crying or Very sad

@Slap and tanden...

i have no idea what you're talking about Laughing

. i'm still trying to figure out who framed roger rabbit... Sad

^^Did you know that post counts are voted on in the Mod lounge and if your posts are "iffy" AFIK, then your post count doesn't change... Shocked

What kind of scammers are you replying to? Maybe some help would ... help. Very Happy

Look at ChainYankers post count compared to mine and join dates and you will see that what I said above is sooo true! Laughing

^^^I'm replying to the usual "NOK" lads, i believe that those hold the most promise

and i do have a mentor, and i have communicated with her, but as of right now, there can't really be mentoring when there's no lads replying Crying or Very sad

Have you checked your spam folders? Sometimes their reply ends up there. Otherwise you might switch the kind of lads you are going after. I can see if I have any live ones that are recent and give you something (if you want). Cool

Posted: Thu Jul 17, 2008 4:22 am

yeah i have signed up for guestbooks, etc...

i get some lads, but not many, not even in spam...

my other account has a couple, i try those. its just that ive replied to like 5 and if i keep replying to more... if they eventually respond, ill be stuck with like 50 replies Shocked

could it be that my email has 419 at the end of it?

Posted: Thu Jul 17, 2008 4:27 am

That would be good, you would have a smorgage... buffet of choices and then you get to pick out your special lad. Kind of like speed dating... er... wait, I just looked at the title of this thread. Forget about the dating reference, it is like going to the fast food place... yeah, that's it... Laughing

Edit to add: Yes, I would make my email addresses look as "normal" as possible and leave out 419 references. Wink

I am approximately 16... depending on your tolerance range for accuracy. For me it would be plus or minus 5 or so years. Wink

@Dott. Giascopato

what, were you working with an Apple I?

Apple? It was a SICOMP. Apple was SciFi those days. (Must have been in 1975, however, when the Apple I aready existed)
Later I used an Epson Hx-20

Edit:
Our Sicomp looked a little lik this, but was integrated in a desk. What we call <ENTER> or <RETURN> was "DÜZ" ("DatenÜbertragung Zeile"=Data Transfer Line)

I rememeber Sinclair, ok, not with fond memories come to think of it, but they were like so far out then

you could type and the little screen lit up, and there it was!

OK, I also played Pong at what we called supermarkets as well

And I was as old as Reaper then too, well, maybe a bit older, oh hell, everyone is older than Reaper surely

Can we stay on topic, before I start regaling you with stories of how it was all better when I was young, dinosaurs ruled the earth, and everything was in black and white...

Roy:

What was the topic then? If it is baiting the young you can get arrested for that in my state! You end up on "To Catch a Predator" on TV and everything!

I'm 19 now. Shall be 20 in September.

It makes me feel old when I consider how long ago the 80s were...which I guess really weren't too long ago, but still. I feel old considering that there are people younger than me.
