  • What's with the ACK! stuff?

    I've seen this on various threads. What's the history behind ACK!, and what does it mean?

    I think holding hands can be more erotic than 'slamming it in the ass' - Pekka, thinking that he's messed up

    It's an exclamation by Bill the Cat:




    I'm sure Tuberski can tell more about it.


    [BTW: this reminds me a bit of the whole deal with loinburger's "Wu-tang!"]

              Those "extra signatures" people use usually are lame anyway. I mean, think of Al Speer's "thanks". Doesn't it just make you want to slap him, every time?

The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self." - Dennis Kucinich, candidate for the U. S. presidency

                I agree with Stefu completely.

                Pioneer's "So long" seems way out of place to the point where it makes me smile every time -- so that one can stay.

                  Wraith is just about the only interesting "extra signature" I have read. And that is because it changes.

                  Some are ok (like Tuber's) and some annoy the hell out of me (have a nice day).

                      I can't believe that guy is still keeping up the persona........one day in civ2 MP he all but admitted it was a front.......but he still ends every post that way.
