..Spyware/Adware objects found by Ad-Aware or SpyBot have you ever seen on either your or a friend/family's computer? Everything counted; cookies, files, directories, registries, anything. I've seen one search find 200+ at a friend's. This friend told me it's found 1000, but I've only SEEN 200+.

623 at one time. :eek: This was in 2001, I think. And that was on the computer at my dad's - my stepsis totally hosed it down. :o

I am over the 3000 mark and counting!! This site has everything!!

Your Ad-Aware or SpyBot program found 3000 problems?

She misunderstood. She means she has 3000 POSTS, not 3000 pieces of spyware found.

When I first got hit with Spyware and ran the Ad Aware I had over 100 of them on my computer. Now I run it twice a week and each time I catch between 40 and 50 of them. They SUCK and should be banned.

I still can't figure out why she's so obsessed with her post total count. :rolleyes:

*shrugs* Beats me.

But I know for sure if there were actually 3000 pieces of spyware found on her computer, she wouldn't be able to post here, because by that point, her computer would be so messed up. :o

ive seen pc's with over 700 items - some with over 300 not including cookies, usually associated with having KaZaA, LimeWire, AudioGalaxy installed...

i've run into quite a few that couldn't even boot into Windows until we went into safemode and ran Spybot from there

Because there's idiots on this site that think the more posts you have, the cooler you are. Get a life people, seriously. :rolleyes:

she never reads the first post in threads, just the thread title.

You never miss an opportunity, do you Sarah? You lie in wait, to pounce every chance you get. You must be so proud of yourself.

It's gotten really old....such boorish behavior.

220 some. But that was the first time I'd run it.

Someone mentioned spyware and SO...I've gotten a few tracking cookies from the adcode, but never any spyware clients from the site, in 3 years here. It's everywhere else I get bombarded.

Highest count on MY computer: 289.
Highest count on a school computer (long story as to how I've ran it there): 1,542. Seriously. And only 300-ish were tracking cookies.

Oh my god.. WTF! Im not the first one to complain about the people that think higher post totals make you more important. why am i the only one that gets scolded for it?

Why? Because you continually take every opportunity to rag on EricIdleFan.

She's not your personal whipping post. If she bothers you so much, put her on ignore, but stop calling her on every picky thing.

Sarah needs to be taught some manners if you ask me Janice!!

I don't come to the main Chit Chat board very often, and, by all means corect me if I'm wrong, but is this thing between "safety pin" and "EricIdleFan" a case of "a goth hating a perky person" thing? As I say, corect me if I'm wrong, I'm just curious.

Originally posted by Janice

No to get into this, but she was just talking in general, not just ragging on EIF, in this thread. I, as well, find those annoyances on these boards, but try not to get to involved into it anymore - they want to think post count = seniority, fine. Let them think that. It's just rather annoying when they mention it multiple times over the course of their stay here.

Not really. EIF has had problems with various other members... not just Sarah. :p

But I'm not getting involved in this discussion anymore.

EricIdleFan's unique posting style has offeded more than one forum member, hence the hostility. Sarah (Safety Pin) is just the most vocal about it.

Even your's truly has snapped once, but, I WAS having a bad day...

After mulling things over though, I really wish people would lay off. The posts are usually related to the thread, and, admittedtly, I've been able to find ways to relate the off-subject ones into an interesting thought all their own

Just because someone posts things a little outside of the box, is no reason to flame them. Some people DO take it personally, ya know...

No, you need to learn to stay on topic of the thread. Everywhere you post, it never seems to be the subject of the thread. I told you about this on the Buffy board. Why do you do that? :rolleyes:

What is your problem with her? Sarah was stating one fact about EricIdlefan. You know, like everyone else on this board, that EricIdlefan never posts on the subject of the thread, just pointless crap.

Ah, um. How do I put this nicely...Nevermind. If Brian sees this thread, I'll let him tell it...(He'll know what I'm talking about)

That's what i'd like to know. seems like everyone ****ing hates me here. one of the reasons i come here is to get away from my ****ty offline life and talk to some nice people. guess that opportunity's gone.

...no..

Back off of Sarah, Janice. EricIdleFan posted something stupid and off topic. Oh wow, her post count is high... no one cares. Sarah was talking about people in general, not just EricIdleFan. And I agree with her. You said that Sarah always has to start, never misses her chance. I disagree. She just says what other people don't want to say. You are the one who never misses an oppurtunity to pounce on her and scold her and accuse her of things.

I moderate this board, so don't tell me to back off.

This issue with Sarah and EricIdleFan goes beyond only this thread. You don't know the half of it. Sarah picks on her continuously. It's been an ongoing issue that I am dealing with as moderator of Chit Chat.

Janice, please get off your high horse and start acting like you were before you became moderator. You were nicer before you became moderator, now you act as if you are high royalty here. Why did you change? I'm not picking a fight with you, I'm just wondering why you became so mean since you became a moderator.

Lay off the sarcasm, and don't tell me how to act. I'm not mean, and I haven't changed. The only thing that's changed is that I have to step in, as moderator, sometimes and actually well...moderate...and that is bound to bother certain people.

I've got plenty of friends on this board who I am sure don't agree with your assessment of me.

I moderate with a very light hand. You seem hell bent on defending Sarah's penchant for picking on some people.

TJ assigned me as moderator because he trusts my judgement. If you or anyone else has a problem with me, feel free to contact him. I would appreciate not being slammed on the boards.

Okay, I was wrong. I thought you were referring to her in the 'idiots, get a life' statement because she was the topic at that time.

I misunderstood.

You DO undesrtand he means that it SEARCHES for that many, he didn't HAVE that many, right? Nonetheless, it is still pretty OVER-whelming that so many losers can make that many bad programs. People have too much free time these days...

First of all Christopher, Seth Thraser, & Sourbaby
I don't know why you three think that you can make somebody or someone, not just me or Janice the punching bag and/or scapegoats and we don't trash you three!! So get off our backs or else I will go to the proper moderators and they will deal with the three of you!! And yes even you safety pin!! Yes I do say stuff people don't want to hear but I am expressing my general feelings and my concerns and if I offended people I am sorry but please, don't make me, Janice, and/or anybody the punching bag here!! Also you can pm me but I will push you right back for pushing me!! Lay off Janice, me, and other people!!

EricIdleFan, you received a PM, explaining my involvment in the situation. If you have any further comments or complaints, take them up with Janice (Who has already had a conversation with me, thank you)

As for Spyware...ran it on another school computer...471 items.

1. I WASNT TALKING ABOUT YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE.

2. Janice accused me of doing something i didnt do and lying about it (but its all ok now), so i explained. Is there anythng rude about clearing things up?

3. Christopher and mo (sourbabie) were just defending me so dont give them crap.

What the hell? I wasn't making anyone my punching bag or scapegoat. Sarah, Christopher and I weren't trashing anyone. Besides, if it's okay for you to express your general feelings and concerns than why can't we do the same? Are you telling us that we can't? Because if so than you're hypocrite. [By the way, why did you cancel that PM you sent me? You can send it again. I will gladly reply to it.]

No, you don't know the full story. You don't. It goes beyond what you've read in threads.

When I reprimand someone on the boards, I have my reasons, and it's not your place to tell me to back off.

Like it or not, I'm the moderator of Chit Chat. If you don't agree with the way I'm handling a situation, contact TJ, but don't start in with me on the boards.

It most certainly does. There are factors you are unaware of.

Now go ahead and have the last word Sarah, because that's the only way this thread will end, is when you have the last word.

Well, I am so, so, sorry I misunderstood you and sorry if I felt you were being condescending!! I accidentally cancel it and was trying to clean up my pm!! It is ok to express your feeling just as long as you don't hurt people's feelings!! BTW, I am not a hyprocrite and neither are you!! Sorry!!

Okay, can we all just end this particular discussion? Truce, everyone....
:)

All is forgiven!!:) :D

You said "This issue with Sarah and EricIdleFan ... It goes beyond what you've read in threads." ive never associated with her outside of the boards, how can i fight with her and not be aware of it?
