I don't know the whole story here, I'm not a member of the forum I'm linking to. But, it was sent to me and it appears that someone had mentioned over time how much money he had. Well, someone thought he was bluffing and tried to call him out on it. He "FUTURESTRADER" set the record straight with photos....

Amusing at least.

All I have to say is:

I'm so glad this BBS doesn't have a library of stupid animated smiley faces.

No, but we have managed to generate our own unique collection via our avatars

I'm more glad that, while we clearly have some members who have more than enough disposable cash to go around, we don't feel the need to go around flaunting our bling-bling.












BUT, just to show that we here on the empeg BBS aren't going to be outdone...

Sorry. I don't buy it. They're all photochops.

The empegs in the top pictures (ynot) may have belonged to someone, but I think that ynot is just boasting. I note the absence of any dated material to qualify the picture, and also no penny being held in front of it. Therefore fake. Plus I don't think that he has four dollars.

The empegs in Hugo's picture are obviously photochopped. No-one could have control of that many. If you look closely you can tell that they are a cut and paste of a single empeg. You can also see that Hugo was obviously posing with a brick wall, and that the empegs have simply been pasted over the wall. The giveaway here is the height - notice how Hugo seems out of proportion to the empegs. No-one is that short. Fake.

The final pic of the 'docking stations' is much more cleverly done. Firstly there is one dock missing from the corner. Most cut'n'pasters arrange in rectangular blocks because they lack the imagination to do otherwise. This mlord fella has obviously cottoned on to the fact that this is a photochop giveaway. Not only that, but the 3D effect given by the parallex effect of the depth of the sled is compelling. I have a feeling that he too multiple pictures from different angles and pasted them all together. Brilliantly done, I can't see any physical errors. But there is no penny or dated material present, so it must be fake.

Ok thats phunnie I mean it must sux0rs to be all those no0bs and to be 0wnzed like thatz.
But I'll point out that the car is JUST a T/A it's not even the high end one i.e. the Firehawk and I can go to work too and print a bunch of hundreds on our color laser.
But I still think it's funny.

Drat, foiled again!

I guess every BBS needs a dedicated cynic. Good thing we have a few dozen solid backups available.

Actually I'm feeling a tad guilty about stealing ynot's thunder - after all the effort he put into that absolutely hilarious post I stole the glory with a couple of sentences. Not fair really.
