how do people mess up their phones?
Interesting question. Mind telling us the reason for it?
:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
Any way, the easiest way is to drop it, or drop something heavy on it.
You can also get creative:

(sorry, couldn't find the link with pics of an iPaq that's been in a microwave)
Now, if you want to go the 'high-tech' style try flashing it with a wrong ROM.
Or better yet: pull out the USB cable in the middle of ROM update. It's a nice way to brick your device.
well, the obvious reason id like to know is such that one (and furthermore others who lack thar brainsmarts) understand what not to do before it do be done, but also because explosions are cool as hell
okay so people brick their phones by flashing the wrong rom. in order for a rom to be wrong, itd be a rom based on a machine language that is different than the one my phone came with, correct?
in other words, more explicitly, my question is this: which roms are compatible with the tmo MDA (and furthermore other phones that i dont own but people flash roms with) when i unlock the cid, backup the 2.26 rom, and flash something new? are all roms that run based upon windows mobile 5 compatible with this ppc?
seems to me that being such a risky thing to do and also how prone i and every other rational human being is to **** **** up, it only makes sense to compile a database of what exactly'll **** **** up, pardon my french
and yah that cat deal is funny hahah
Well, I don't know about a database, but when you use an official update tool it warns you about the risks and consequences of flashing the ROM, and even checks for battery charge before letting you proceed.
What is the wrong ROM?
Any ROM image that wasn't specifically designed for your device. WM5 is not a generic product like desktop windows. The machine language is the same, but since ROM image also includes all the hardware drivers (which can not be installed separately from the OS) if you flash say a Wizard with a Universal ROM (not sure if the bootloader will let you, but it might) the device will become unusable.
The main concern in any ROM update is power / communication interrupt during the flash. Anything that brakes the process will likely leave the device unusable.
Another dangerous endeavor is messing with the bootloader. If you screw up the OS or radio ROM chances are you can reflash again, but once your bootloader is screwed so are you. (pardon the language)
Finally, I wouldn't recommend to anyone new to these devices to mess with custom ROMs or to flash different brands.
Reasons:
A) It voids warranty.
B) It's hard to tell if some problems are result of ROM or hardware if you don't know your device well.
yah thats another thing... is there a good registry monitor for ppc that doesnt cost like 40 bux?? i cant find any
...try this one...
i dont know what the deal is, but that file is corrupt upon extracting the file. whatever youre playin at you can go straight to hell, you wont pass go and youll never ****in win, you smelly european. hitler has pineapples for you there hah
or maybe im sposd to install that program on the ppc? lol! whatever it doesnt really matter
what i want is a registry monitor not a registry editor... im not going to waste my time memorizing the registry. what i want (and i speak transcendentally for the rest of humanity) is a registry monitor (that doesnt suck) and that is also free
now deliver you stupid mongoloids, else i **** my pants!
...sorry for messing up register monitor with editor. My english isn't as good as I would like.
(Btw file worked perfectly by opening with pocketRAR3.60)
But maybe this is useful:

O and with yout tactile way of asking people for help, i don't think you'll be getting any, so go **** your pants
first of all, the word is tactful. tactile is a word for wankers, althought the entomology is the same haha.
second, in the spirit of tact i will abstain from british jokes.
third, i aint no yank. i be texan. and if you cant handle my southern drawl, then eat my asshole
finally, on a more serious note, asking for help on this forum is ridiculously taboo. there seems to be an overall theme that asking for help without a concise understanding is like masturbation in the victorian era... tis surely understandable, but the animosity towards stupid people is uncalled for
anyways, my thanks to levenum and to krinkies; that link is just what i was lookin for
my old roommate was dutch and he was super nice too, he never complained when i forgot to flush the toilet lol

hah well i dont give a ****, as long as ya puke in a cup
you gotta love reading threads like these....good for a couple o' chucks when you're too busy in the office...
I really don't get what the fuss is about this theme, ok so credit should be given where it's due I'm not arguing, but surely all that's required in this instance is "here's my theme - parts are borrowed from here and here, what do you think?" is sufficient.
It's ridiculous that we even feel the need to debate this, someone went out and built a theme they liked, and decided they would share it with the rest of us, something they did not need to do! Instead of saying thanks, we've shut down a thread because it wasn't precise enough about where it's components were found!
Regarding this theme, i love it, i think it almost perfectly combines the best parts of other themes and apart from the splash screen which i rarely see, makes my phone look great. I can't ask the developer to improve the theme now though thanks to a debate about a couple of icons! fantastic!

thanks faith..
it is clearly ridiculous..but i cant do anything..
HYBRID has in no way stop at all...this is just a set back..
i want my thread back....my original thread..
i am not going to make a new 1 cuz there no neeed..
to everybody that has MY HYBID THEME...or not
please post ur comments and give ur opinion about this whole situation...
and tell the admin/moderators u want my thread re opened....
please help me..
thats all i ask in return...
VIVA LA RESISTANCE!!!!!!!!!! hahah lol
i agree...the thread should be re opened because there is nothing wrong with his theme or how it was created. if you close his then you should close alot others because i know of 3 themes that share the EXACT same clock as the hybrid theme and a few icons and i dont see any reference to whee there clock and icons came from on there thread. everyone is not gonna have a completely different theme, clock, and set of icons. so IMO as long as he acknowledges that he made his theme from a combination of others i feel it is sufficient because whose to sat who FIRST created the black transparant clock that 3THEMES share and icons. as long as he is not saying he created the whole theme from scratch and taking all the cedit then whats the problem? nobody is payin for these themes so its not like he's getting anything from it besides happy hackers who love his work!
If you are referring to the black carbon fiber clock, the actual clock was posted by brandenk in a thread where he gave permission for anyone to use it.

Ok, but there are still a number of themes that share some the same icons and dont give credit to one another.
I do feel that shutting the thread down is the wrong decision...if that is the case, then I want the "Post ONLY your G1 Wallpapers here!" threat shut down...I know for a fact, that there is a Guinness wallpaper on there that I created and uploaded to g1wallz.com that is posted under someone elses name and no credit is given to me. I never really b!tched about it because I dont really care (I posted it on the www afterall, if it was that important to me I would have just kept it to myself)...but if we are going to get picky about giving recognition and asking for permissions then...
Some examples may be helpful, some of us have gotten icons from each other and some from deviantartbut I know the staff doesn't have time to go through every theme that shares something so examples may be needed
Ok here's a simple solution to give credit to all that's do credit.
Disclaimer=
*** I appreciate the hard work and have used icons/images from various sources.. for your hard work I appreciate it and you work lives on in insert theme name here. I wish I can recall all the names of the original makers but I can't as I have scoured the internet and other sources and can't recollect them. If 1 of your images is posted here that should not have been redistributed or used please feel free to contact Theme maker name here and we will work on resolving the issue.
End Disclaimer
The above should quickly cover your own @ss and give credit and thus stopping the fighting.
Now how many people have used google to search an item to recreate? not all are graphic masters and not all while trying to develop something remembers their sources.
I personally thank all theme makers and others for their hard work!!!
ANYONE ANYWHERE MAY USE ANY AND ALL COMPONENTS OF MY THEMES WITH OR WITHOUT ANY REFERENCE TO ME OR THOSE THAT HELP ME
With that said, I am here to help and learn. We are what make this phone awesome, not Google, not HTC, not T-mobile, and not any 1 person. I am truly honored anytime you guys use my components in your own themes, if I didnt I would not bother to make them.
If you guys cant understand that imitation is the highest form of flattery all I can say is go watch Star Trek, I learned this lesson from Data on TNG years ago and it has served me very well. Granted, i love it when you guys mention my name if you use my clock but Im not going to be offended if you dont. Especially since the clock wasnt "my idea". Im sure there are a million people out there that could argue they created something very similar way before me, and to them all I have to say is thank you for the great idea and I hope you appreciate my hard work to take your "idea" to the next level.
My ideal scenario would be everyone taking bits and pieces from themes they like and compiling them into a theme that is perfect for them.
Do you know how many of them probably got their icons from the same source? I know some of the themes were yes, obviously borrowed icons, but others were just coincidence. The whole point of open source is that anyone, can take anything anyone makes, change some ****, and create something totally new. Yes, they SHOULD provide credit, but its not key.
Simply put, if you don't want people to use your ideas, do NOT post them. Simple as that. Any moderator that finds the need to close a thread for that purpose is just, well lack for a better word, dumb.
Now to the theme makers directly, I thank them for all the work they put into the themes, it is a lot of work. However they aren't doing it for us, its for them. I wouldn't create a theme based on what everyone else will want, I'd make one that I like, I enjoy, then later post it here to allow others to use it.
So everyone, stop *****ing, stop complaining, and just enjoy what everyone has to offer.
I used that very same clock in my theme and I credited brandenk for it, what tootall4la is doing is wrong. Some people put allot of work into creating these themes, the least he could do is say thanks to brandenk for his clock and what not. Also, I think he got a complete lack of respect for others. Here's a quote when someone suggested he give credit to other people for using their work to create his "Frankenstein"
its a nice suggestion but will not be taken because..
i already gave credit to those ppl!!!!!!!!!!..
i am claming my theme.. im not claming anything else...
like i explained to jdwme..
and thats where my frankenstein title comes from because i use all these parts to make a new theme(a.k.a frankenstein) a new breed the HYBRID...
just call me creative.. no one else though of doing this.. to not dissapoint other theme makers..why should i ask for permission???haha..well im just doing what i think would be a great looking theme and so far ppl do think it is...so suck it lol.

Open the thread most of the themes contain parts of other themes,I know cause I can see my work all over but that does not matter. Hey guys I also say anything I have done as far as themes can be used with out giving me credit or permission if you want to give credit that would be better but its cool with me either way.
Its not like google or T-Mobile even gave permission to do this lol....I love forum.

Theme Police are watcing I need better sun glasses.
Well....this is indeed a touchy subject. I Believe the thread should be reopened as well but.....I agree with Geo411. There does seem to be a lack of respect for other authors. There are authors on here such as Manup and Brandek that do not care, but that does not go for everyone. I for one dont really care for my own theme, but I love and respect all who have contributed to the community and wish that we do give credit to others that worked so hard and actually wanted to be recognized for it. It really does not take that much time to type out a few lines of recognition....Reopen the thread once recognition has been given.

Unless his attitude changes tootall4la will keep hitting a brick wall.
G1 is a fine line with "crediting" sources, since it is open-source.
Although, common courtesy of a thank you to all, is humane, a nice juster.
As for tootall4la's thread to reopen, noticing most theme makers dont mind whether they get credit or not, tootall4la should figure out who he should thank and PM him or them and work it out.
My opinion on this matter doesnt mean a thing. Since im not the mod who closed the thread, i wont be the mod to reopen it without assurance from all, that it's ok to reopen it.

Very Well Put... This Would Really Help Solve All This Madness. and i noticed they shut down the thread but i havent seen ONE post supporting keeping the thread closed which should make a point to the moderators that just because ONE person may have a problem, what ablout the rest of the people on the forums who IMO majority doesn't have a problem and wants the thread re opened.
Agreed, and it is personal taste. As a rule of thumb I think communities like this function more on sharing than owning content so if you want to own your content this community probably isnt the place for you. That said, I would like to encourage the sharing aspect of the community and remember, even tho I dont mind anyone using my components, when I get a thank you it goes a long way. Sometimes its a simple "ty" other times its someone buying me a beer, either way the more I get from you guys for my hard work the more willing I am to bust my balls trying to improve things for you guys.
What goes around comes around.
One Q; if the site really cared if we got credit then why is there no thank you button which would solve the problem. When you drop your theme you can be thanked and get your credit automatic.
Anyway a theme section is what's really needed not people fighting about themes who's icons belong to another designer,does anybody ask them permission?
Keep the piece guys it not that serious I would take what ever part of the theme that the other person is complaining about. Tell me what it is and ill make one for you,but I hope this is not going to be your only theme. I want to see some more work after this original.
Hey I also don't mind if people use/improve my theme, what I'm referring to was the improper etiquette used. Here's a PM from a user on the forum asking if he can improve upon my theme. This is proper etiquette.

I agree with this, if it wasn't for JF finding loopholes to root or Stericson for sharing what he discovered we about theming, we wouldn't be here modding our phones in the first place.
To start. Anyone That has a bricked phone or a broken market place.Pu your sd card in your pc redownload RC33 rename it update.zip, put it back in your phone and pull the battery if you are stuck on the start screen. Then follow the steps for normal update.
To the skinners. Please learn to fully check your work. Every Single RC33 skin on here is breaking peoples phones. I have tried EVERY single one and not a single one is working properly. You are putting people threw hell screwing up their phones. Its not that we do not appreciate your time and effort but ours is jsut as important and to have to keep reloading our phones because your taking shortcuts is not fair to anyone.
If you do nto have a phone to fuilly test your theme ont hen please request a tester before you post it.
Wtf. All of them test it on their own phones.
Phones brick on a case by case basis.
You seriously need to show some respect to the theme devs.
Edit:
Lol. You're even more retarded than I thought. First ever post, and you do it by bashing theme devs. Lol.
first off, there are usually disclaimers for all themes here on this board. You install a theme at your very own risk and we (theme makers) do this for the community. You can def. choose to install or not. If you noticed a lot of the errors are coming from users not following the right instructions to apply the themes. Most work here on this board are not final hence the title beta. In return we are getting feedback as to what we can improve or fix. If your on this forum, than you should know the risks involved in doing such things to your phone and have taken the necessary precautions to eliminate some of the headaches in the process. I DO TAKE OFFENSE to this as most of the theme makers on here put in endless hours to share something.
edit: also please do not pull out your battery. That's just silly. Please ask someone on this board if your unsure. there are ways to do things correctly. grrrr

Edit: I enjoy doing themes and lately I havent had many updates due to my job and family... but i love making themes and I USE my themes daily..
I hope that most of you appreciate what us theme devs are doing and I find this post troubling to me.
to the ones who appreciate the themes.... YOU GUYS are who I do it for!
That was uncalled for OP.
When someone offers to give you something for free out of kindness, take it or leave it.
Besides, I have never had a problem with any of these themes..
Why? Cuz I don't leave it all up to a theme dev, its also my responsibility to check that everything is in order.
Most apps / themes / ROM's are all still in development - you download and install as a tester and report any bugs / problems you find to the developer. If you can't handle that then don't install anything that isn't a final version; however, I challenge you to find any app or theme - Pay or Free, Final version or not that doesn't still have some bugs?
I for one am extremely thankful for everything / apps, themes, etc.. that these people have put so much hard work and long hours into developing. Our devices are better because of their hard work. Thanks to everyone

LMAO you have flashed your phone the amount of times as there are themes? what is that 10 or so? I will put money down that i have flashed at least 100 times with my FadetoBlue theme alone. I am sure every other themer has also. I have installed ADP1.1 on my phone because testers were having problems with the port of my theme. You think we don't check our work? how do you think we see how it looks after we create it? We have no choice but to flash our phones and you want to give us **** because your not smart enough to have a second SDcard with JF's RC33 install? I can see were they say ignorance is bliss, but in this situation it just makes you look like an arse! Try reading a bit before using something you don't understand! Wait a min you don't have to understand it, there is about 1000 people here that will hold your hand threw the whole process!
It's flamers like you that ruin a community, instead of educating yourself, you feel you need to tell the devs what they should be doing. If you don't like the job we are doing put in the 4 hours or so to learn how to theme!
/RANT
And the dip**** of the month award goes to............the original poster come on down LOL
alot of the bad flashes happen from bad downloads...
i have had to download some files twice to get the full file... also downloading straight to the phone without the pc can lead to corrupted downloads and partial downloads.
if you have a backup sdcard, just put the jf rc1.41 on there and name it update.zip incase of emergency...

I agree, OP, your post is completely uncalled for. If you hate the risks involved in trying out new themes then dont try any. Themeing is not an exact science and is still relatively new. I can also support the argument that many themes have disclaimers on them warning you about the possibilities that things can happen.
SO, with all that said it is your own fault for bricking your phone.
It is your own fault for all the trouble you've put yourself through.
It is you that downloads the update.
It is you that puts it on your phone.
It is you that presses alt - s. We dont make you do anything, therefore, it is your fault.
You, and only you, are responsible for what happens to your phone and what you choose to do to your phone.

That's what I do... I have a reader and usually keep backup flashes on a 25MB card I had from back when I first got a phone with an SD Card.
This dude is a Joke for real... The whole movement of Developers is to break-fix-improve on existing,new, and future technological advances.
So what you bricked your phone a few times compared to the rest of us here.
Suck it up yuh dillweed!!!
Reading is fundamental, for some of us I guess. Cause for almost everything that could possibly break the phone (apart from putting it on the rinse cycle at the laundromat) there is a fix out there.
Sooooooooooo fortunate I wasn't a moderator, I'd ban yuh stupid @$* just for making your first post a bad one!
WTF???? This whole OS is beta so noone can complain about anything!
Good job ALL of the developers, whether you're doing themes or coming up with apps or whatever you're doing, it makes our life whole lot easier.
OP, you're not worthy of Dream, go get an iphone
2 things to say...
1. if your new n dont understand n wanna get root n apply themes then KNOW WHAT THE heck ya gettin into... learn how to backup ur phone... regular people such as myself wit a lil bit of patience can figure it out...

To start. Anyone That has a bricked phone or a broken market place.Pu your sd card in your pc redownload RC33 rename it update.zip, put it back in your phone and pull the battery if you are stuck on the start screen. Then follow the steps for normal update.
To the skinners. Please learn to fully check your work. Every Single RC33 skin on here is breaking peoples phones. I have tried EVERY single one and not a single one is working properly. You are putting people threw hell screwing up their phones. Its not that we do not appreciate your time and effort but ours is jsut as important and to have to keep reloading our phones because your taking shortcuts is not fair to anyone.
If you do nto have a phone to fuilly test your theme ont hen please request a tester before you post it.

sorry dude but you are an IDIOT. I've put 2 different R33 themes on my phone and NOT one has bricked my phone. Do better research before you flame and create a thread that has no facts to support it.
just sayin thanx!
this is probably my 2nd or 3rd post only do to the fact that unlike most ppl I USE THE SEARCH OPTION when im having ans issue lol. ever since i got my first smartphone (t-mobile dash) and i found this site i've been sooo much happier. the devs and even other ppl like myself have made me the envy of many ppl due to their hard work and i definitly appreciate it. this post was sort of off topic but its dummies like op that piss me off. most themes/updates have DISCLAIMERS and most even have DETAILED walkthroughs dont blame anyone but yourself if u dont pay attention or ask question and use SEARCH FORUMS option. sidebar (im so hooked on this site that on a trip to south carolina where i was roaming on at&t's service on one bar that i actually drove 6 miles to sit on the side of the highway for 1hr until i got a good signal JUST so i could download the newest themes and jf's update) lol who new no one in the south wouldnt have wifi that i could steal? bottomline i love this site and all ur hard work! a dedicated G1 owner! ps. in the spirit of the market FIRST! lmmfao
STOP RUSHING ME AND LET ME DO WHAT I NEED TO DO. I have school you know. This is my last full week that I have to see my friends and other things like that, then it's off to exams. If you were on my end, You'd see how busy I am. AND if he had a facebook, I hacked my friend's KIN as well. So guys please stop rushing me. It is starting to make me mad. Ever since I had said something you guys have been up my @ßß. If you wish not to end up in the current state I'm on (which is possibly a brick waiting for a phone to come tomorrow) then I suggest you wait. @johnkussiack, please come in feel free to comment leave your opinions but tell these guys how hard it is to hack a phone successfully. I would hate to see you guys end up with a brick, and I would feel responsible. Let me do what needs to be done. I'll upload screenshots and what I've done, Give me time.
All the best,
Kinuser1
(Tyler Jones)
just upload the guide honestly & let the users choose for themselves weather or not they want a brick. I got a year warranty so I will return it till im blue in the face. What did you expect when you first stated that you found a way into the Kin & made the announcement?
I mean come on Yes We know you had a death in your family and stated that it would take you a week to write a simple guide. The problem I see is this you spoke up first & then you expect people to wait patiently which in all seriousness no offense was a stupid thought in your head because its not going to happen.
All Im waiting for is the guide once thats in place I will choose for myself weather or not I will chance a brick to hack or screw around in my phone. No offense but its the truth. I wouldnt of said anything till I had a guide or the time personally.
Kid, (way older), i'm not playing devil's advocate here.
While it's true that hacking something is complicated, I'm with 4LC4PON3 this time. Being a big thing (or not), you cannot shout it to the winds and then go back to a cave.
Test it, do it, ensure it, then tell.
My app could be released atm, but of course would do crap things, yet i assured that it works even if i press Conn+Disconn 30 times. Ever post without being sure of what you do and what will you do next.
To be truthful with you guys, the screenshot was a fake, EXCEPT THE RECENT BOX AND TIME BOX, I edited those so they shade until you click them. I wanted you guys to lay off me for awhile. But I promise, I did not pull your chain guys, I hate when people do that, trust me, I had the enV touch and someone said they had android on the phone but it was a fake. The guy took a picture from google and pasted on the phone. So I left the facebook group because people were flaming me. Well guys later.

No offence but you sound so...not smart right know. I dont want to make fun of you and then come to find out you have the guide, but just like John said, Test it, do it, ensure it, then tell.

Here i stopped having any interest. As i told ya, post or don't post, but no teasers.
You can do small things, you can asure people that you got access to the phone, you can say that you did but you dont know what to do with it.
But never.... ever!! fake things. Now every post that you text, every image that you upload... will have the "Suspicius fake?" mark above it, even if this time is real.
Also, you were flamed in the group with reasons. You posted in a cocky mood about "recording your face when you see it", and then you say that some pictures were fake. That's flame fuel.
PS: btw, my nick doesnt have any "i" character. It's like the actor, but with "K". Just cause i saw it twice by now.
My problem is this. Like I said I understood you had a death in your family but you have a cocky attitude for one got on my nerves, You Faked the photo which I already had doubts on anyways.
What got me is this you said that you have been having problems with your phone for sometime now even before you started hacking into it. Then all of a sudden your phone doesnt turn on correctly you blamed it on the "So Called Hacks"
Prior to this you made a statement that you didnt want help because you didnt want people "stealing your work"
If you do have access to the phone put up the guide even if you did screw your phone up Ok but you cant claim something then never do it. We are Adults here not children it is our choice weather or not we want to attempt the job or not. There are smart users here that you & we can benefit from to get it done faster.
It doesnt take that long to write a simple guide. Either in my opinion A You are just B.S & trying to make yourself sound important or Your just lazy & cant write a 30 minute Tutorial.
Side Note You stated on Facebook when I got mad you said Do you want me to make a video showing proof?. If you can take time to make a video you can easily make time to write the tutorial.

Watch then leave me be and start getting busy.
Sigh... This last post is an offense to all of us who have a real bricked kin.
It is not bricked like I said, IT IS BROKE
EDIT
I'm actually not sure if it is bricked because it wont turn on

POST THE DAMN GUIDE AND STOP WHINING ABOUT THE STUPID BRICK, IT SEEMS LIKE THE PHONE WAS YOUR TYPING HANDS BECAUSE IT REALLY EFFECTED YOU BEING ABLE TO TYPE THE GUIDE!
Thanks
Wow. some people here need to CALM DOWN. Give the guy a break. If he is in possession of useful information, name calling and what not is not going to help. If he isn't, name calling and what not is not going to help. While I think it would reflect poorly on him if he has been falsely leading people on, I for one take any 'breaking' news here with a grain of salt. I'll believe it when I see the proof, and until then, I'm not going to get all bent out of shape about it.
I'm somewhat hopeful for what JohnKussack's discoveries may hold, and mainly because he has actually been able to demonstrate what he has discovered.
@soninja8 I am going to say this for the last and final time.
STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO. Are you the one who found out? NO!
Let me do what I need to do and shutup
@Marcellus1 thank you for understanding

Im just not understanding why the guide cant be posted thats all. I understand that your busy and all, but you seem to have enough time posting videos of your phone not working and talking about random things...
edit cause im tired of his drama
where do you get it?
Thanks for doing some little thread necromancy, but i think that this dead horse should not be beaten (again).
Ok, so Ive been waiting all month for my week long ban to lift and have been pretty good but this I cant ignore.....
I just saw a © attached to a generic ass script that honestly isnt even set ideally with the following stated inside:
"Dont kang my ****, bro. You need a license to use this script."
Ppwwaaaahahahah!
Who does one think they are to include that message in now generic, unoriginal modifications that have been used by everyone, for everyone?
I may not use those exact settings in that exact order, but they sure arent "your ****" and I think one's head would have to have grown too large in order to display that level of d-baggery.
Furthermore, including such a clause in a publiclically distributed OS is offensive. I "used" it by default as it was included in something I thought was worth trying out....
SOMEBODY ARREST ME!
IVE COMMITTED INFRINGEMENT!

Bye guys! It was nice to say hi =)

I think it was meant as a joke of some sort. If it was truly serious then I would agree it's asinine. That being said, this has already been hashed out in another thread which was closed.
So NB4 lock
Have a great day
I really dont think it was a joke, Ive been half expecting it from unsaid someone
and about it being discussed elsewhere... Ive been absent due to a loooong ban.. so .. Oops.
Had to hop on the woman's phone 'cause Ive been going through serious ROM withdrawals and the tremors were becoming unbearable.
=)
(PS. that ROM is...unfortunately...beautiful) #sighs#
Woooooow.... ibtl.

Yeah, Im already bent over fully expecting a spanking....
But when papa punishes you and forgets to ever let you out of the closet youll eventually **** all over yourself even if you just want to eat supper with the family.....
Do I even need to say anything?
