SilverStar, I beg you, PLEASE come back. I will crawl to your house on bloodied knees and tug your pants and beg.
You are single-handedly the most important poster here. I log in every hour with bated breath looking only for posts with your precious username and weep hot tears of sorrow when they're not there. I know it's so hard to crawl out from under that pile of hormonally-crazed cheerleaders from three counties 'round..but it's so worth it. So very, very worth it.
Your RCT coasters are of such awesome grace and staggering perfection that Walter & Claude simultaneously crapped themselves on sight of them--and they just kept sitting there.
Your posts bring order to a chaotic world and your coasters are the only hope for world peace. I beg of you, don't leave us.
Excuse me while I sob uncontrollably. Ahem.

It's the bad influence of television, I tell ya. That show Ren and Stimpy made "Rediculous" a part of the lexicon.

However, I find it ironic that a lot of the buzzers in this thread are taking the time to inform him to "get a life" or "do something constructive." Even more ironic are those practically writing a dissertation to do so.
Come on, a lot of you are better than that; ignore him.

I find it "redidculous" that you can't proofread your posts before you send them here!So you're leaving eh? I find it a "mirlicale" that it took someone with your intellect to find reason to leave this site since your contribution is this waste of a thread.... BUH-leted!!!

what like missing the space between proof and read? ;)

Remember "root words" in school? Why is it that no one can figure out that "ridicule" is the root for "ridiculous?" I see it spelled correctly about one in four times on the Internet.It always makes me sad that in the wake of one of the greatest means of communication ever that it's used so poorly.

Now where the hell did I put my violin?
This post did it... it finally did it... It has pushed me over the edge to down load the Coasterbuzz Club membership application form to fill out and send in along with my $20... Not only to do my little part to keep the site alive... but also so I can say snide and cynical comments about posts such as Silver Stars with out feeling like a hypocrite!
Now I will make the grand standing announcement that I must say "Good Bye... for now..." and sign off and get some actual work done this afternoon... thus ruining any chances of me having anymore "good times" until I sign back on later this afternoon.
So now I must bid you all adieu, aloha, ariverdierchi, sionara, hasta la vista, chao, and various other incorreclty spelled forms of "good bye" in foreign languages...

There are those of us who choose to not pay for the site, and the reason behind it is simple... I don't pay for this site because nothing in the paid section would justify me paying for it. I don't live in Ohio, I don't have the means to travel to Ohio currently, but I do occasionally post on here (much to everyone's delight) and post and contribute news as warrented.
If I could get value out of paying for the site, I might consider it. But then again, when you start charging for content, people will eventually go out a seek a source that does not. You may hang on to a "core" audience, but if people can't justify the value, they will go elsewhere.
I don't doubt it hasn't crossed Jeff's mind to make the news articles "pay per view" or you can sign up for a yearly subscription fee to read them. But there are just some ideas that you can't implement because someone else would step up to take the place with freebie articles.

I joined earlier than that i changed my screename then. Im sorry if this upsets some of you but its my opinion so please keep that in mind. This isn't for attention either. Im only 13, how can you expect me to pay for all of this? That came to shock to many of you i bet. This is the last post i will ever write on this site, im simply saying goodbye to the people that know me best. Hasta Luego- er never.

The fat lady is on the chorus so I guess it is time to go! See you SilverStar, when you are in your 20's you might understand this money and maturity thing and see why Jeff had no other choice. Until then enjoy your adolescence.
Oh to be young and think that the world owes me again!

X- the coaster designed to break all the rules
A seperate board would be nice where stupidity would be banned and the "experts" on coasters could converse. Don't get me wrong the way it is now is a nice setup but the occasional town idiot can get to be annoying.
By the way i'm 16 and your age doesn't determine anything when it comes to your knowledge.
