Oh dear.... where to begin? For starters, I am sure the moderators will be more than happy to point you in the direction of this site's Code of Conduct. But there is an even bigger issue here. Why do you think "the internet" even exists?
(don't worry, I'll answer for you)
One word: COMMUNICATION.
This is a community of people with a shared interest who are communicating with each other. If nobody can understand what you are trying to say because you skipped English class one too many times, and because you really don't seem to care how you come across to others, then what is the point of even posting anything?

(listen everyone else, I know I am probably wasting my time, but I just couldn't stand it! :x)


Listen I made a A in all of my English classes and that is none of your business. Let me guess when you text someone you use perfect grammar too correct? And as far as the website goes, I don't care what there rules are if they don't like it they can just delete my account. I will just make another one.

Yep. That IS exactly. And if I remember correctly, one of the admins on KDfansite.com posted their username and password hours before their site went active. I'll try to find the post to see if it will clue us in on ours...

Username for theirs was KD. Password was GIGA.

It is fairly simple, the two shorter sides will connect to more supports.

5. Grammar and Spelling: You are expected to make a concerted effort to use correct spelling and grammar on this website. This include proper capitalization and punctuation. Many browsers have built-in functionality that will check this for you. Firefox is the recommended browser of this site, and has such functionality. Internet chat shorthand (“r u going 2 the park today?”) is not permitted here, nor is slang.


Maybe this is just my opinion but people should try to strive for greatness outside of the classroom, and not just do the 'bare minimum.' I know this opinion will be lost on the younger folks though. :?

You know you just made yourself a target right? Your spelling and grammar has improved since Bart Simpson visited you, but your attitude has gotten worse. Might be time for another avatar change...

Haha, i'm not about to stay up all night to figure this out. I made a concerted effort, but I doubt it will be THAT obvious...

Actually, IMO I am pretty grateful we don't have a number following the name of the coaster, since somebody over at KD figured out before the announcement that it was Intimidator305.com.

You do realize they can block your IP address, right. When they block your IP, you won't be able to create a new account.

No it's a windows logo for sure.

What makes you so sure?

He's sure because IIS7 is a windows internet information server. It's been discussed thoroughly. Not to mention flags are wider, and the hole is clearly as tall as it is wide.

That horse is dead. You can stop beating it now. :wink:

Thanks WindsWaker. Thats exactly why I'm sure. Now I'm just wondering what the White Lightning site is for. Was the new coaster going to be called that at one point?

I see three possibilities. In order from most likely to least likely. (In my opinion, of course.)

One: White Lightning was under consideration until the deal with DEI was finalized.
Two: Viral marketing at it's finest.
Three: A name for another attraction coming to Carowinds.
