flix or it never happened.

just realized seeks started this. takes me back to better times when we used to troll the old soviet republic for the fairer sex.

though I'm laying awake in bed cause it's a hundred degrees with a thousand percent humidity over in the steambaked apple, I'm in a generous mood and am officially kicking off a free VIP special... invite a female to join 12oz... if she registers and posts at least 10 times, you get free VIP for 3 months and she gets free VIP for life. if she's hot (my call) or if she posts unclothed booby shots (of her own boobies) you get free VIP for 6 months. if luck should have it and she's hot and posts her boobies, then you get the jackpot, which consists of a year of VIP and a virtual high five from yours truly. *offer void where prohibited by law. terms and exclusions apply. booby shots may be PM'ed to me if she's shy. proof of femaleship requires a minimum of clothed booby shot while holding a sign that says '12ozProphet' or 'Misteraven is my hero' (face not required). VIP will be added to your existing membership if you already ball like that. no limit per person. offer is not redeemable for cash value. offer valid until December 31, 2012.

*where'd all the chiclets under my name come from? Weird...

Going to have to side with the most perfect thing ever.

actually come to think of it, 1999 is when this version of the board began. I believe the first version went up in 1997 or 98. nuts.

oh shit, my ten year anniversary on the 12oz forum went by and i didn't even notice. jeez, a full decade on the oontz... any other 99ers on here still? where were you in 1999? factoid: just so happens that Sponge Bob Square Pants and The Phantom Menace also kicked off in May 1999.

seems a lot of people are into Flickr. has anybody started a 12ozprophet.com group on there yet?

Just curious if any of you guys use Flickr?

good luck, stay safe... try and keep us updated and post as many photos as you can.

was living there for six months until recently. PM or email me and I'll fill you in.

on behalf of the crew, i'll pay the first of the three days in exchange for mega-thread packed with stories and flix.

i'm sure you soccer (football) heads noticed the new ads on the site by now. anyhow, please support the companies that support us and check out their site. it's a great game whether your into soccer or not, but you guys should especially appreciate the quality and fun this game packs in. anyhow, click the banner and look at the site... thanks.

i just don't get it. we live in an open market, capitalist society. if something sucks, let it sink as a result of consumers deciding it for themselves. i mean, i can understand if something is dangerous, or the welfare of a particular social group isn't being protected, but come on... dude is trying to rally against graffiti as if it were taxation without representation. i understand the (skewed) numbers they present for anti-graffiti efforts and the resources it takes to fight that 'war', but is the constituency out in queens that put this guy in office really that fervent about graffiti that they'll put this issue so high up on the list of priorities? worse, will they continue to allow their tax dollars to be spent trying to eradicate graffiti, rather then try and solve issues like decaying infrastructure, poor public school funding, the loss of so many firehouses, etc, etc? i believe Vallone is concerned with graffiti because it an obvious issue that's able to produce tangible and measured results without a whole lot of real problem solving or hard work... in other words, wagging the dog... keep their attention on graffiti, while everything else continues falling to shit.

awesome, thanks guys...

Digg is honestly one of my favorite sites. Another site I love is FFFFound!

simply emailing those addresses, leaving VM's, posting the news (and links) to other boards, digging the article, etc. point is we have a pretty strong and tight knit crew here on the ounce. over the years it's also become several tens of thousands deep, even if the personalities in CH0 are narrowed down to a select few dozen or so. i believe that it's time for all of us to start using the power of numbers, as well as the cumulative voice to start exerting influence and pressure on things that matter to us. if we could harness all the people that make up the 12oz community, it's enough to really have an impact. i mean smaller groups of people manage to put politicians in office, make or break community development projects and more. think of it like this... i believe it was less people then the number of registered members we have here on 12oz made the difference between whether Bush was elected as president or Al Gore back in 2000. i think we could (and should) harness this power to begin pushing through changes that we care about.

here's the direct digg links to the first two articles... http://digg.com/design/Amazing_retail_spaces_in_streetwear http://digg.com/arts_culture/TERRY_RICHARDSON_FOR_SISLEY_NSFW dope thing is you can actually see who dugg the article. anyhow, i figure this adds an extra dimension to things and really helps the site out in much the same way as the Alexa help i asked for.

sure, feel free to digg anything you're feeling. Many thanks to those that have dugg. maybe someone should post links to the digg entry to make this easier? I'm on an iPhone so it'll take me 30 minutes or I'd do it myself.

thanks

come on guys... let's see some activism. time to start making noise!

hoping I cant count on the Channel Zero Crew to digg these stories for me. There's a link below each entry to 'Digg' it and so far it doesn't seem like its being used much. anyhow, i really want to see how this effects traffic, so please help a brother out... story 1: TERRY RICHARDSON FOR SISLEY story 2: AMAZING SPACES
