It's advertising Blitz (ie, advertising a competitor of theirs). Nothing wrong with it though, I bet they make more money from advertising that then they lose from people going to Blitz.

I means they're so confident in their product that they're advertising their oppents product to make it even.

Seriously though, I thought since we got those Game ads a while back we wouldn't need these tripod-esk ads. Actually it's kinda funny, they choose the ad by whats on the page. Get an unusal topic going and who knows what they'll be selling, I just saw one offering us a new dad.

Pah, we have Blitz forums at LLRGT now, the whole worlds gone mad!.

Am I the only user who remembers all the s**t they've pulled in the past?. I wonder if they'll put a DB add or a DB board over at Blitzcoder.

There's more chance of this finishing this whole .

... man i so wanna get a kiwi and see if it will drink the coffee, even more interesting; will or won't the sneakers on its feet change how fast it does?

hahaa, sorry i opened the post this morning and in it there was a DvD from my bro with something called "Brainiac", and christ that's a cool show ... i'm currently watching it through the corner of my eye and they just had "We wanted to find out if 30minutes of excercise is the same as oogling womens breats for 30minutes... soo;" HAHAA classic scientific questions we all wanna know the answer too.

Well check back about 6 months, when Blitzcoder went down for a few weeks, we had nothing but Blitz trolls wandering the place starting rubbish. I've been outright flamed on a number of occasions, I even had one guy come over and log in expecially just to tell me he hated me and always has! - I nearly wet myself laughing, he was like a stroppy 13 year old!

I bring it on myself half the time though, I'm not exactly patient with most of them. I don't have a problem with most blitzers or blitz, but I hate arrogance and bull - so when the trolls come out and start spouting, that really annoys the hell outta me. Blitzers have the official forum and Blitzcoder, we have the official forum and had RGT - now RGT is partially blitz and C++ - seems a bit unfair to have to share a forum that was built on the DB communities determination.

The most annoying thing about the whole situation is the attitude to DB that they have over at Blitzcoder, I got roasted for going into the gen discussion board and mentioning VANseam, simply because it was made in DB and it was a Blitz board, I have no doubt that I'd get similar comments today if I posted about it again. At LLRGT they'll be banned for flaming, but I've still read umpteen posts about how great Blitz is compared to DBPro, made mostly by blitzers!.

If anyone fancies a trip down memory lane, here's a link to the worlds longest ever DB vs Blitz flamefest!:

One joke... gonna haunt me for a week...

Quote: ""We wanted to find out if 30minutes of excercise is the same as oogling womens breats for 30minutes... soo;" "


Dunno, i'm pretty sure the 30 minutes of staring at the womens breasts builds neck muscles, and helps the blood flow....haha

Now i must go, me and BB King gonna go play "Key to the highway" on a street corner.....or atleast i'll imagine it. Ugh what i would be like to play with clapton and BB king.. i f***** wish.

Why do soooo many people seem to jump at the opportunity to flame somebody? I can't see anythin wrong with that link posted, apart from the idiot who suggested that mod should get involved.

Can't remember the name though

Oooh, I remember that one. I chose to ignore it though at the time, I don't really like getting into the whole Blitz vs DB threads.
