Shoutbox Demoronisation
Mar
16
A large number of morons are leaving stupid messages like ‘hi’ and ‘is anyone there’ in my shoutbox and it’s very annoying. As if deleting all the spam wasn’t enough I have to tolerate these idiots who think the shoutbox is a chatroom.
So from now I shall be deleting messages from all users who don’t bother to fill up the Name field in the shoutbox. Mercilessly.
I suggest you don’t reply to these messages since your message will stop making sense after the deletion.

Marc Z says:
Binny, the shoutbox is important. Very important. The future of the world might depend on it someday.
Gany, shall I send some spammers to post ‘hi’ in it every two hours?
George, they wouldn’t notice the difference and will carry on a merry conversation with it.
Suryas, most of my classmates do that!
Anusha, don’t be ridiculous.
Rachel, better no comments than ‘hi’ over and over again.

harish says:

Rachel says:
@Harish, i guess becoz you said the word SCRAP Karthik is saying like that. But am not so sure of the truth behind it, hey Karthik tell man. If am wrong then Sorry
Posted on March 18th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
Sundar says:
Probably Karthik is addicted to orkut. He seems to have forgotten there are other meanings to the word scrap.

George says:
Anusha, it’s not easy. It doesn’t even sound easy.
Posted on March 18th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
harish says:
thanks, sundar and rachel…they got the meaning rite i think…@karthik.. the word ” SCRAP” is a popular word that are used in the symposiums man….

Karthik says:
@Harish,
I will regret the day when I have to sit and explain quips. And I am aware of your symposium related scrap, don’t worry.

Suren says:
a point to ponder.. scrap is just one letter more than crap.
Posted on March 19th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
George says:
That’s not much of a point, it’s more of the blunt end you get when you’ve used the pencil too much.
Posted on March 19th, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Anusha says:
Well, if it isn’t that easy, then stop cribbing.
Posted on March 20th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Karthik says:
@Sundar,
Rap. Fond of it ?
Posted on March 20th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Marc Z says:
I still don’t understand why he said ’scrap the event’.
Posted on March 22nd, 2008 at 12:14 am
George says:
Then again, I don’t understand why both your quotes are turned one way.
Posted on March 22nd, 2008 at 12:53 pm
Marc Z says:
Hey. How did that happen?
Posted on March 23rd, 2008 at 12:11 am
Karthik says:
Always does. Nothing wrong with it. I have seen it that way in good books.
Posted on March 24th, 2008 at 10:37 am
George says:
You don’t see them turned to ?
Posted on March 24th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
Marc Z says:
They aren’t very good books then.
Posted on March 25th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Karthik says:
@George,
They are supposed to be, yes. But sometimes they are not.
@Marc,
You can’t judge the contents of a book with just one punctuation. The same can be said about your blog then.

Something wrong with the PHP that changes the standard quote on the keyboard to a typographical quote. Funny.
