Alright. Time to set some ground rules. Hate to do it but some of you are getting a little out of hand. Basically the regulars are starting to get a little annoyed with all you newbies. And you newbs need some guidance.
1. “First!” posters
If i see anybody say “First!” (or “Second!” or “Third!” etc etc) in any post within the top ten comments, i’ll start deleting them. Or editing them. Or banning you outright. Nobody fucking cares if you’re first. Just make a proper comment and be happy that you were first WITHOUT having to point it out. People can already see.
2. Anonymous posters/Impersonators
Get a posting name and stick with it. Otherwise i’ll have to put up a little sumin’ sumin’ that’ll display your IP address with each post. Thus exposing your anonimity. I really don’t want to do this but if i have to, i will. Realize that it will probably invade your privacy. If you want to keep on posting without your IP address being displayed, don’t be a moron.
3. Comments
If you have nothing constructive or at the very least, something funny to say, don’t say it at all. It’s a waste of bandwidth. If things don’t start shaping up around here, i’ll just turn off the comments altogether.
4. Advertising
No more blatant website advertising. They will be deleted on sight.
5. Banishment
I’ll start banning people without warning if you get on my nerves. So behave.
bout bloody time….here here

A little guidance never hurt anyone. That said, its time young people got out and registered to vote. The more young people vote, the more attention polititians will devote to our age bracket.
#3 | Comment by Monty — May 29, 2004 @ 3:43 pm
you regs should start laying the verbal smackdown if anybody starts acting a fool in these here parts. with enough abuse, they’ll probably start crying and leave. kind of like what’s going on in the forums.

It was me who was claiming to be Jamie Leigh however my links led to viagra shops or gay pornography.
Please forgive my sins, my IP was banned so i am using a proxy.
#5 | Comment by Bin Laden — May 29, 2004 @ 3:47 pm
I was just writing a comment on those obnoxious one-liners when the update came up…if you d-´nt have anything to say…DON´T SAY IT…..Justin, I think got it…

I couldn’t agree more on "first!" posters. I’ve seen enough of that on aint-it-cool to last a thousand lifetimes. There are few things on the planet less creative. Amen, brother.

Heeeeey, Justin made it safe to enjoy the comments again. Yay.
#15 | Comment by Kei — May 29, 2004 @ 4:20 pm
Drew’s got a good point….From now on, anyone who posts "FIRST!!" gets a sackpunch from everyone else.
#16 | Comment by Booyah — May 29, 2004 @ 4:21 pm
Finally, these boards are being controled more closely.
The next person who says first, third, eleventh, whatever gets stabbed in the eyes. The adverstisements blow. Nobody cares about your shrek porn.
#17 | Comment by eddie — May 29, 2004 @ 4:32 pm
Thank you, I have been reviewing this site frequently for a couple of months now and was getting annoyed at the degradation of the posts. I would like to encourage more posts from Justin.
#18 | Comment by Jimmy Olsen — May 29, 2004 @ 4:54 pm
i don’t come here like all the time and i dont even post half as much as the annoying ‘newbies’ (of which i suppose i am) but I can say, that whole first thing got annoying… I dont think Justin got my joke over at Supernobody the other day about that… wait, does this mean my ip will be banned? hmmm that falls under the "is she really annoying enough to ban her" category… maybe?
#19 | Comment by onederfool1 — May 29, 2004 @ 5:17 pm
Only good Nazi thing ever. Like everything else stuff sucks when there is too many people. Looking at the previous posts there were only like 4 or 5 replies usually. Damn kids with your music and new fangled shoes!
#20 | Comment by qchad — May 29, 2004 @ 5:20 pm
"Only good Nazi thing ever."
But what about when Hitler built the autobahn!
#21 | Comment by blah — May 29, 2004 @ 5:23 pm
nah sarah, you’re not a newb. more of a lurker i think.
but yeah it sucks having to do this. i generally like to have a hands off approach when it comes to the comments but with the influx of new visitors and stupid comments, it’s kinda disrupting the balance of THE FORCE. so to speak. too many stupid comments and not enough proper ones.
i’m not expecting like 3 line comments each time but at least post something that will be worth reading or responding to. or at least not completely stupid.
btw flame wars are still ok. go ahead and verbally abuse anybody if you feel they deserve it. besides, it can be pretty funny sometimes.
#22 | Comment by Justin — May 29, 2004 @ 5:24 pm
wtf. speak english qchad and try again.
#23 | Comment by bob the builder — May 29, 2004 @ 5:26 pm
Now I feel conflicted. I just stopped lurking and started posting, but I have low self-esteem issues and I never feel as if I have something valuable to share.
Maybe Justin should have some sort of filter that changes the "FRIST!11!" posts into embarrassing comments like Fark does.
#24 | Comment by BoyOfDestiny — May 29, 2004 @ 5:37 pm
alas, greymatter is pretty limited in terms of administration options. but don’t be afraid to comment. new voices are always welcome. just try not to be completely worthless!

Could someone please tape the rerun of Saturday Night Live tonight with Ben Affleck? I really want to see the sketch where Fred Armisen plays a mentally challenged extra, I think named Frondi, during a scene from Gigli. I have been looking around the intraweb and can’t find it anywhere. Thank you in advance should anyone be able to do it.

fuck that! 68 bucks so far. too much. besides, her shawl is good enough.
mmm… lindsay lohan smell…
#33 | Comment by Justin — May 29, 2004 @ 6:27 pm
Yay for tyrannical reigns! As a nazi regular I have one request: Blah please use a different handle, your stealing my vapors. If not I’ll just round up some SS members and kill your goldfish.
Justin ist der bestimmte Führer!!! But still a stupid asian.
#34 | Comment by bligityblah — May 29, 2004 @ 6:38 pm
Right on! Go Justin, it’s yo birfday.
Wow.. a post from Kei.. hey Kei, what’s going on with your site? I miss it almost as much as I miss watching Wonderfalls (stupid FOX).
#35 | Comment by Dex — May 29, 2004 @ 6:58 pm
Ooh! Can I start assigning mod points to people, Slashdot-style?
"First!" <-- Score -3; Fuckhead.
#36 | Comment by Ben Affleck — May 29, 2004 @ 7:10 pm
Learn to read bob. Shit she’s selling all her clothes, no panties though. Probably some old guy will end up with that bra, that’ll make for a good laugh.
#37 | Comment by qchad — May 29, 2004 @ 7:23 pm
Wow…it worked i bitched about the newbs and justin put the smackdown on them bitches! good work man, im gonna enjoy this site THAT much more now. Way to keep them newbs in line.
#38 | Comment by JesusFan666 — May 29, 2004 @ 7:31 pm
Anyone notice what the bra said on it?
"mommy bought this one" one one side "daddy bought this one" on the other.
Funny since her boobs ‘arent’ fake …no?
#39 | Comment by Impresariozero — May 29, 2004 @ 7:35 pm
stfu! they’re real! she was being… funny. yep.
#40 | Comment by Justin — May 29, 2004 @ 9:00 pm
so wait… is lurker a good thing? help me figure this out…
I like the bra, I’d buy it to wear it… its hilarious! and uh… duh she was definitly just being funny… thats what you call being a ‘real’ girl, when you can make fun of even the bad stuff people say about you… rock on Lohan!
#41 | Comment by onederfool1 — May 29, 2004 @ 9:48 pm
I think it funny something like this has to be mentioned in the first place. You didn’t expect to get your fair share of horny ass 14 yr olds abusing your comments section?
Heck I wish there was a website like this when I was 14 but damn I would hate to think I would cream when I was the first comment.
#42 | Comment by Alias — May 29, 2004 @ 10:39 pm
nope. first time this has ever really happened. says a lot considering how old this site.
#43 | Comment by Justin — May 29, 2004 @ 10:45 pm
The comments used to just be 4 or 5 people just insulting eachother back and forth.
Oh, the good times.

#47 | Comment by sploshy — May 30, 2004 @ 2:01 am
another bitch: those damn tinyurl links don’t really tell you where you are going… i’m sick of clicking on them and ending up with 19 porn pop up windows. I’m not going to click on another unless the poster identifies what is on the other end. Oh well…. that’s my rant… I’m glad Justin is putting an end to these leetches making money of his site.
#48 | Comment by Messenjah — May 30, 2004 @ 2:36 am
Justin it’s about time you laid down the law and put an end to that fucking jamie leigh garbage, etc,etc… right now we should stop feuding and start to utilize fubar for its main purpose on the net. The summer season is kicking in starting with Lindsey Lohan’s nice cans on MTV, the Olsen twins b-day, and hopfully some new underage cleavage.
fubaraholics away!
#49 | Comment by Nevets1106 — May 30, 2004 @ 3:10 am
Goddamn, it’s about time, I’m a relative newbie and it was pissing me off.
#50 | Comment by DarckkorioN — May 30, 2004 @ 3:29 am
oh yeah, and i think y’all should stop using tinyurl now. i’ve put directions on how to HTML link right above the comment input box. learn it!
#51 | Comment by Justin — May 30, 2004 @ 4:09 am
RIGHT ON! by the way…. tinyurl doesn’t even work for me half the time.
#52 | Comment by kg — May 30, 2004 @ 4:41 am
well done justin….
i cant remember the last time i actually read through all of the comments….
lately there has been so much crap that i would just look for links to more porn that people sometimes put up….
SNOWBOARDERS AWAY!!!……
BADINAGOODWAYers AWAY!!!!….

#54 | Comment by EverSnow — May 30, 2004 @ 5:04 am
this sounds fair, but your can’t post worthless crap either. Like that "this day in Amanda Bynes history…"
#55 | Comment by Mr. Junky — May 30, 2004 @ 6:22 am
I’ve been complaining to justin about the first comment posting and newbie crap regularly now. Glad to see enough other ‘regs’ did too.
I have no problem with ‘newbs’ its just that the majority of the comments were completely useless like ten entries of ‘first!’ and a couple shitty web links. And all of us regs quite reading comments anymore.
I used to prefer the comments OVER the post itself. Maybe I can return to that again someday.

anyone else notice that the bra says:
"daddy bought this one!" on the left cup and
"mommy bought this one!" on the right?
#62 | Comment by gabdabary — May 30, 2004 @ 9:10 pm
great rules, glad you came up with them; fubar was becoming real annoying cause of all those stupid comments.
but can i still say ‘titanic sucks’ justin, or will you ban me?
