So no one has any more suggestions outside of buying a Mac? No one at all?

I've decided to leave with Snrub.

Turn the modem on then off. Also, send your computer to Pad. He'll fix it.

Are you sure? The journey I'm taking is a long and dangerous one. If the spambots of Rotten Tomatoes Country don't get you, then the trolls of YouTube Bridge probably will. And even if you make it with me to the other side (the Aint it Cool comments boards), there's no guarantee you'll ever be able to return.

And in the process uncover my secret collection of illicit, illegal-in-some-countries porn!

No dice!

Well, at least it would prove to him that it's broken. I think he doubts your claims.

His continued absence from this thread would appear to back up your suspicions.

Truth is, I've tried everything I can think of, and everything he's suggested, but to no avail. I've even taken on other posters helpful suggestions, such as Libs' "what the shit, fix your crap Snrub". I even clicked on that Get a Mac link you provided before throwing up a little in my mouth and closing it again.

Looks like this really is the end...

I bet one of the admins is secretly jealous of you and blocked your IP but only from that computer.

Nooooooooo, you're too handsome to leave!

That makes sense. Being the only (hot) male in the Best Looking category would certainly earn you enemies in high places...

I bet you're right. This is looking more and more like the work of that diabolical genius baba. How interesting that he was so quick to offer me help and get access to my PC via messenger. And he's pleaded with me to leave the site with him on more than one occasion, but I always said I had no reason to and that I loved it here. Well baba, you finally got your evil wish. But at what cost?

Thanks jujubee. I think I'll miss you most of all.

What, really? Best looking? Are you all insane? Or blind?

I'm leaning towards Loyal. He was a best looking nominee every year but this year. Of course, he probably had to get Arsi's help.

Whoever did it, they're mean and I don't like them anymore.

Now if you'll excuse me... I'm going to take one last look around.

*offended*

Looking back at the list of previous nominees on page 5 of the 2007 nominees thread reveals that that is actually...not true. How convenient that you have been "trying" to help snrub in this thread and all your convenient "advice" has failed to resolve his problem. And now your alleged motive for loyal being behind this turns out to be false. Obviously, it is you who is behind this and I think snrub will soon see. I haven't figured out how yet, though...

Maybe it's time to bring in Tony?

*sits back and eats nachos*

Silly Ripper. Of course I'll miss you as well. I think, perhaps, most of all.

This goes far deeper than I thought... how do I know I can trust Tony? How do I know if I can even trust you?

All you have to do is look into my eyes and you'll know, Snurb...you'll know. You'll know that not only can you trust me, but i am the O)NLY person on here that you can trust. And that our story has just begun. And we'll climb the highest mountains, swim the widest shark-infested rivers ( i know rivers don't really have sharks, but i'll have them brought in to make our story more exciting), and cross the most dangerous of bridges even when they appear like they are about to collapse.

You will climb, swim, and cross first, of course.

You're actually going to take Rod's word over mine? Come on, Snrub, you know I would never do something like this. Besides, what would my motive be? Clearly, it must be someone who is jealous of you. Why would I be jealous?

Oh stop it, you're a handsome fucker and no one can deny it.

Oh sweet Squee... I think I'll miss you most of all.

Um, hello? Word on the street says you're female.

Obviously this has to do with Freud's penis envy theory.

Hmm... Interesting theory.

However, I will go with the jilted lover theory.
