How does one become a "fixture" on DU?

[NVMojo]

Is a "fixture" on DU a toilet bowl? Or someone who has been on the board since January 05? Or someone who has been on here since the beginning? Just wondering what form of delusion I've just encountered here on this board. Thanks!

[ClassWarrior]

1. Huh?

You in there Mojo?

NGU.

[NVMojo]

2. LOL! Another DUer and I have been under siege by a DUer who

claims she's a "fixture" on this board ...it's coming to the point of being comically frightening ...just had to post for stress relief!!!

Thanks for making me laugh, Classwarrior!

[ClassWarrior]

5. LOL... Well, you'll always be a "DU fixture" to me...

B-) :thumbsup:

NGU.

[NVMojo]

24. And the respect is likewise, ClassWarrior!! Peace, love, Baby!!!

[NVMojo]

26. I loves all you mans and womans here! Thanks for making me laugh

& making my day, actually "our" day! The other DUer and I were getting worried folks were losing their sense of humor in these times of gwbush-dickc power decline!!! Carry on, my wayward friends!!

13. Ask her what the DU Secret Word of the Day is...

If she can't tell you, she's not really a 'fixture' here!

:rofl:

14. In logic, that is known as "appeal to authority"

Fixture or no fixture, unless you said something to the effect of "anyone who would say that must be a troll" ( for which that sentence MIGHT be an appropriate response) it matters not that they are a "fixture" around here.

[newyawker99]

40. That sounds like a fixture response.

:P

[Canuckistanian]

3. Who are you? You're not one of 'us'

I didn't see you at any of the monthly meetings :sarcasm:


:hi:

[NVMojo]

23. ROFLMAO!!!

[ret5hd]

4. i would say it has to do with lucidity, reasoned discussion, ...

avoidance of "whinyness", friendliness/antagonism to ideas (not persons), a very limited use of sarcasm...all over an extended period of time, slowly building the trust of others in your opinion.

which is all to say i am NO "fixture" on DU.

[cassiepriam]

17. I whine big time, am passionate, and love scarasm. I am the anti fixture.

[Siyahamba]

6. I thought DU was like golf

Lowest post count wins. :rofl:

[meganmonkey]

25. Hi Siyahamba!

:hi:

Good to see your name on the board, haven't seen ya around lately.

:)

[TheFarseer]

7. Am I a fixture?

Yeah, probably not. Funny, I don't usually look at the poster name and say, yeah, I value their opinion more than other people I've never heard of. There are a few names I recognize and I know what type of post to expect from them but alot of people with several thousand posts, I can't recall ever seeing their name before. Maybe I'm in the minority of regular posters.

[jaysunb]

12. In the beginning....

Kinda Biblical, huh ? LOL

There were few enough people here, that , there was no doubt about who was who and what their views were. But as time has passed and the numbers have skyrocketed, ya just don't know what yer gona git !

Us old fixtures have given way to the new fixtures, and I think that's a good thing.

[achtung_circus]

8. Several ways, I think.

Your post sounds fairly specific, what delusion did you encounter?

Criteria might include:

A Long-time member
B Very active, high posting member (does not necessarily overlap with A.)
C A "personality". I can think of several who have "styles". Check the Lounge.
D. more as I think of them.

[seabeyond]

9. i think i have become a "fixture". lol lol i seem to be

attached.

who the fuck care, wink. you feel like a fixture to me nv. see you around a lot

i know nothing about this thread you talk. dont care either,

[achtung_circus]

10. OK now I need a link or a name (PM will do)

Interest aroused.

[kid a]

11. i would be the anti-fixture

[canichelouis]

36. No, I would

15. Buy some sort of smelly adhesive that will make you high

if you inhale it ... smear it on your favorite chair ... sit down ... and log on to the internets.

16. Some are light fixtures, some are bathroom fixtures other are household.

In real estate, a part of a piece of property that is permanently attached so that to move or remove it would damage the property. The fixture is considered a part of the property if it shares the same useful life as the rest of the property.

I don't know what type of fixture I am in the DU house.



:) :toast: welcome to the fixture portion of your life

[Field Of Dreams]

21. Oh yeah ... trade fixtures in a business.

Now you're talking ... I'm taking a real estate exam tomorrow lol! I should be studying.

[lectrobyte]

18. Is a DU fixture like a usenet policeman or something? I think if

one is very concerned with their DU status, then they definitely need to spend some time in the real world enjoying the fall weather, as I plan to be doing in about 15 minutes. After all, from a certain perspective, this is just "CB radio with a lot of typing thrown in." 3's and 8's Good Buddies. lectrobyte signing off saying keep the shiny side up and the greasy side down.

19. My dream is to one day become "du Track-Lighting"

Shedding dim light on liberal stove-tops.

[Nightjock]

20. Define "fixture"?

I have over 800 posts but half the time I feel like an outsider.

There was a time you could ask a question and it would immediatley get answered with many thought provoking responses. Now that's a crap shoot.

It has become a little "clicky" here. If you are a "fixture" you can put the word "Fart" in the subject line and get 100 replies. But others could start the most interesting thread and it will sink quicker than the Titanic.

But having said that, I still love this site and everyone here because we are united in taking our country back. And there is no place on the "internets" where you can get news faster.

What was the question again?...oh yeah..how to become a fixture.

I don't know.

[NVMojo]

32. I don't know what it is, either! I guess if we hang around long enough

we will all know!! LOL!!

[Hubert Flottz]

22. You must know ALL about project X to pass the test!

That is all!1!1!1

[Divernan]

27. FYI, everyone, Hubert Flottz IS a DU fixture.

29. Don't tell agent Mike!

Yes...I've suffered through several years of intense bushit, here along with the good guys and gals of DU. I thank everyone here for helping me cope and for keeping me schooled on the important issues! I'm glad Al Gore "invented" the internets!1!11!1!11!

[davsand]

28. I've been here a while and I am NOT an end cap. TYVM.

Sorry--the old retail lingo comes back all too quickly...

I dunno about this whole "fixture" thing. I think I'm an old fart on here, but I doubt that more than a handful of people on here know who I am (or even give a crap!)

I don't post a lot anymore, and I have never been accepted as Mod, thus my post count is not one of the highest on here.

I don't camp out in the Lounge posting too many nonsense threads, and I'm not part of any "clique" that I have noticed.

I have never really worked at being an asshole to anybody nor have I ever really gone out of my way to be controversial. I have no real persona on here.

Damn. I am a nobody on here. ALL this time and I am a nobody. I have pissed away all this time and have exactly WHAT to show for it????? I'm just gonna go sit in the garden and eat worms.

-----------I'm done screwing around now------------

Don't let anybody get to you, NVMojo. This is a place to interact and to find info. IF you want it to be, it is a community. Otherwise it is just an online message board that has no bearing in reality.

Peace.

30. I've been here longer than that, but I usually get trashed.

And I'm really a pretty nice guy. Or I usually think so until I come here. :)

[WilliamPitt]

31. Sounds like you encountered the outflow pipe.

[NVMojo]

33. Boy, are you correct about that WilliamPitt! Now, YOU are a fixture

of the good kind!! Thanks for the post! Peace, love, Baby!!!

[kineneb]

34. Ahh, Sunday morning.

As to "fixtures," we all can be fixtures or not. Today's Zen answer. Let's not even get to the light bulb jokes. Have an enlightened day.

[Solly Mack]

35. My mom used to say that about people who sat on their asses all day

"they're a regular fixture"

[crispini]

37. Good heavens.

PM me a link. :evilgrin: Please.

I would think of a "fixture" as someone who is known for their specific style and consistent posting. This might be an intelligent string of posts in a certain area, a style of humor, or even always hanging out and contributing to a certain group.

But just 'cause someone's a "fixture" in a sense doesn't give them the right to be rude.

[NVMojo]

39. I agree, crispini!

[Cults4Bush]

38. autofellatio??

Extreme mutual gratification??

Verbal masturbation??

dunno really but its fun to watch the egogasms.

[Rabrrrrrr]

41. Only by assassination

42. Bribery worked for me.
