Blinksale: Easy, painless, online invoicing for small businesses

Announcing New Group!

Hello everyone, I have created a new very exclusive group that some of you can join. It is called Stuff that don't count. The rules for joining are very simple: you can only join if you don't add to the points total. Anybody caught adding points to the group will be subject to much ridicule. So far I may be the only member, but who knows? Give it a shot!

anti on May 21, 2007

The membership is ULTRA secret!

soprano on May 21, 2007

woah

gswd on May 21, 2007

Harsh Rules.

anti on May 21, 2007

Only the truly 1337 may join!

gswd on May 21, 2007

So basically, you have to join as a n00b, and never do anything on IB that garners points.

Jen on May 21, 2007

We're all members!

anti on May 21, 2007

@gswd, I have points, and yet I am a member!

debbye on May 21, 2007

The Illusive Coders … good name for a group!

i don't count … does that let me qualify?

anti on May 21, 2007

Of course you count. This is a different group from People Who Can't Count, although I could join that one, too.

daveamun on May 21, 2007

I'm a member :-}

anti on May 21, 2007

Good work! daveamun has Stuff that don't count listed under movies. I am proud to have you as a member.

marcelofigueroa on May 21, 2007

I'm SO puzzled... I've got to figure it out :o|

Can anyone join the group?

iconmaster on May 21, 2007

Finally, a group I can safely join! Count me in.

anti on May 21, 2007

marcelofigueroa, anyone can join as long as they add Stuff that don't count to their profile and not add points to the group!

anti on May 21, 2007

iconmaster has Stuff that don't count listed under reading! Welcome to the group!

tamashii on May 21, 2007

*raises hand

anti on May 21, 2007

Excellent, tamashii, I see you are listed under listening! Welcome!

loel on May 21, 2007

Ouh, I love that group. Count me in!

anti on May 21, 2007

@gswd, you have been caught adding points! Here is your ridicule: 8-P

@loel, you have successfully added Stuff that don't count to your listening section, congratulations and welcome!

aaroncampbell on May 21, 2007

I'm in.

anti on May 21, 2007

aaroncampbell is in with his entry under movies. Welcome!

lparziale on May 21, 2007

I am all in...

anti on May 21, 2007

Bonus points for lparziale, listed in every category! Great work!

gswd on May 21, 2007

@anti. Pull in your tongue, and wipe the drool off your chin. I'm old, it takes me longer to figure stuff out.

anti on May 21, 2007

You want old? I'll show you old, you little whippersnapper you.

Congratulations go out to gswd for the listing under reading. Good job and welcome!

Kids these days...

anti on May 21, 2007

This just in: debbye has been spotted with Stuff that don't count listed under On the Tube! Welcome!

debbye on May 21, 2007

@gswd - don't even pull out the OLD card!! i wonder who the oldest one is??

maybe … a stats page: oldest member, youngest, longest (time-wise), newest, highest points, most friends … OK code people, maketh us a stats page!

by the by, my "Stuff that don't Count" officially!

khursten on May 21, 2007

oooh yeah! The most fun of them all~ <3

khursten on May 21, 2007

*falls in line to join*

aaroncampbell on May 21, 2007

Uh oh! Looks like khursten is adding to the point count! Shame Shame!

khursten on May 21, 2007

Ah booo... will sort out how this goes later. :3

memodude on May 21, 2007

yay

Forevagrey on May 21, 2007

lol... can't join because i am going up in points.

anti on May 21, 2007

Way to go! memodude is our newest member! Welcome!

@Forevagrey, look again, you are missing something. ;)

gswd on May 21, 2007

@debbye Ok. I'll put the Old card away. At least you are willing to proclaim your age on your profile. The Chefs put us at a disadvantage with gender as "guy" or "girl". No option for "gentleman", "lady", "man", or "woman".

Forevagrey on May 21, 2007

what am i missing?

aaroncampbell on May 21, 2007

Forevagrey: I have over 13k.

marcelofigueroa on May 21, 2007

@anti, this is what made me wonder in the morning, you said: "I have created a new very exclusive group that some of you can join". Also, what's a "truly 1337"?

Marcelo :op

anti on May 21, 2007

It might work for everybody, but I am not sure.

1337 is hacker wanna-be talk for elite. Anybody who would call themself 1337 is probably young and clueless, which may of led gswd into thinking I am immature. May be true, but I have been that way for years. I meant it as a joke.

MaskedJedi on May 21, 2007

Anyone who calls themselves 1337 is truely young and clueless, as well as a total n00b; the correct spelling is l33t.

anti on May 21, 2007

Cool!

Jan on May 21, 2007

Methinks rajr19 isn't following the trail. ;)

soprano on May 21, 2007

aargh! what am I missing?

fdev on May 21, 2007

I'm a member! Yay! :)

khursten on May 21, 2007

Now I can finally say... I'm in. ^_~

anti on May 22, 2007

Way too go! fdev is in with an entry under Listening!

khursten also has a successful entry under Listening.

Welcome to the group!

Steax on May 22, 2007

Why do I get the shrewd feeling that this has to do with a bug in the scripts used to get user tags? Gotta look more into this.

Steax on May 22, 2007

Arrrghh. Curse you, Mark!

*wink wink* (very subliminal hint there)

anti on May 22, 2007

Congratulations Steax, the hard work paid off! Welcome to the group!

anti on Jun 02, 2007

ongratulations go out to rajr19 who has stuff that don't count listed under Reading! Glad to have you with us!

Steax on Jun 02, 2007

And on a side note... how do we even know who's in the group?

anti on Jun 02, 2007

Like I said, the membership is ULTRA secret!

Or they can post here. :)

mik on Jun 02, 2007

how do we even know who's in the group?
You can also do a search and see which profile pages come up.

I might be a member but I won't tell. ;)

rajr19 on Jun 02, 2007

I'm in!

MaskedJedi on Jun 05, 2007

I'm in.

sloan on Jun 05, 2007

I'm not smart enough...now my head hurts

heinzelman on Jun 06, 2007

joing I Like Corn, no hidden meanings or lame concepts, just the satisfation of being part of a team that covets the corn

bjendrick on Jun 06, 2007

*raises hand*
I finally figured out how to add myself. Although, admittedly, I only started trying tonight.

nbaker on Jun 06, 2007

There is plenty of stuff that don't count on television

anti on Jun 06, 2007

Much joy and celebration with the successful entries of MaskedJedi, bjendrick, and nbaker. Welcome!

Steax on Jun 06, 2007

Isn't it possible that the chefs fix the system who's bug (or rather, mis-feature) allows us to do this? And catch all of us in the act?

anti on Jun 06, 2007

Group shame? Oh the horror!

Esherido on Jun 25, 2007

How do you get it on your profile without adding you to the group?

anti on Jun 25, 2007

A big welcome goes out to Esherido who has Stuff that don't count entered under listening! Thanks for joining the group!

richmond on Jun 25, 2007

Um?

So this is "pointless" ?

Steax on Jun 25, 2007

Errr, pretty much, yes. It's just for the fun of finding out the correct method.

anti on Jun 25, 2007

Well put, richmond. :)

gswd on Jul 11, 2007

Who's adding points?

anti on Jul 11, 2007

Darn and it would be the day Aaron updates. Ok,
Dmonick1, I know you are out in the hot sun with the screaming brats, but nevertheless, here's your ridicule: :P

iqon on Jul 11, 2007

Stuff that almost doesn't count

austingirl on Jul 11, 2007

I'm in.

anti on Jul 11, 2007

A big welcome goes out to austingirl, who has successfully added Stuff that don't count under movies! Congratulations!

dishg on Jul 11, 2007

don't count me in!

anti on Jul 11, 2007

Open revolt? That's a concept I had not reckoned on.

austingirl on Jul 12, 2007

@anti - Thanks! It took me a whole, hot minute to figure it out, but I got it.

anti on Jul 12, 2007

Congratulations go out to dishg who has Stuff that don't count listed under On the tube!

widged on Jul 12, 2007

Ahh, at least somebody who understands my ambition to become unimportant.

anti on Jul 12, 2007

Awesome! Congratulations go out to widged who not only has joined the group, but may understand why we care!

sloan on Jul 12, 2007

ohhh if only I was a proper geek :(

anti on Jul 13, 2007

Very special congratulations go out to Dmonick1 who has Stuff that don't count listed under Listening. Yay!

mvisconte on Jul 13, 2007

Well... I don't see me, so I must be a member...

anti on Jul 13, 2007

Yes, you are one of our many ultra-secret members!

anti on Sep 03, 2007

Oh Noes! Ridicule ahead!
The points count for Stuff That Don't Count has suddenly taken a huge upward surge!

That is not good! In fact, it is a round 2,389,110 points over the legal limit!

debragail and iconmaster, here is your ridicule:

:p
:p
:p

soprano on Sep 03, 2007

I would guess that iconmaster joined so that they can test excluding chefs from the tag point totals. Who knows, though…

anti on Sep 03, 2007

iconmaster has been a member for a long time, he only recently started showing points. Any reasoning he has is fine with me, as long as he can take the ridicule.

terremom Vip-micro on Sep 03, 2007

I've never paid any never mind to points...I'm just elated to finally have friends and fun (and you don't care about my looks)! Relationships--even cyberficial ones--are what count; not points (sorry iconmaster). Take care, Terre

debbye on Sep 03, 2007

his points don't show up in Aaron's leaderboard, only on the
"home page" for Stuff …

since i'm here, i am announcing that a Stuff that don't Count & other Stuff T-shirt will be available on debbyeGreen.com The shirt and i'ts adult counterpart will probably get online before i do!

anti on Sep 03, 2007

Adult Stuff That Don't Count? Can't wait, that could prove interesting.

On the other hand, it could prove to be like my real life...

I think I will close with:

:p

iqon on Sep 03, 2007

What me wants be stuff that don't COST!

anti on Oct 31, 2007

Semi-annual Membership Drive!

Granf on Nov 08, 2007

in, no points added.

anti on Nov 08, 2007

Congratulations go out to Granf who has successfully joined Stuff that don't count!

tamashii on Nov 08, 2007

seanhussey also doesn't count.

soprano on Nov 08, 2007

(No one ever pointed out that I don't count.)

anti on Nov 08, 2007

Congratulations and a big welcome to both seanhussy and soprano who have successfully joined Stuff that don't count!

redpoint on Nov 08, 2007

Joined at the third try.

anti on Nov 08, 2007

What a day we are having! Congratulations to kicon and redpoint for successfully adding Stuff that don't count to their profiles! :)

MrDee on Nov 08, 2007

Don't count me either

anti on Nov 08, 2007

MrDee? Where?

(congratulations)

elnitido52 on Nov 08, 2007

I've been a member for so long now...but never understimate iQon's MeMonkey...you arrr... not counting me either...

poscogrubb on Nov 08, 2007

I used to think this was a bug, but now I see that it's a feature! Yaay for ultra-secret guilds.

elnitido52 on Nov 08, 2007


;0)

elnitido52 on Nov 08, 2007

@anti - you need to close the Italic ""...

anti on Nov 08, 2007

yow

soprano on Nov 08, 2007

Can you just delete your post? (It doesn't end the italics in Safari, which kind of sucks.)

anti on Nov 08, 2007

Congratulations to elnitido52 and poscogrubb for their successful entry into the group. :)

MrDee on Nov 08, 2007

@Soprano, @elnitido52 might be easier if you just moved to a decent machine / browser (ducks)

anti on Nov 08, 2007

take it easy on the fruit, folks. ;)

MrDee on Nov 08, 2007

BTW I was an apple developer for over 8 years.
I TRIED to overthrow the evil empire.
now I have been assimilated.
resistance IS futile.

louiemctool on Nov 08, 2007

resistance is useless...

:D

jameshilton Vip-micro on Nov 18, 2007

i'm in! i was trying too hard! ;)

anti on Nov 18, 2007

Congratulations to jameshilton who has successfully listed Stuff that don't count in his profile. Yayz! :)

Dave on Nov 18, 2007

That took me *far* too long to work out :(

still, got it now :D

anti on Nov 18, 2007

A big welcome to Dave who has successfully joined the group! :)

gswd on Nov 18, 2007

@anti - do feel like you are repeating yourself?

anti on Nov 18, 2007

@gswd I did not think this thing thoroughly at all when I started it 6 months ago! :)

rajr19 on Nov 18, 2007

i am happy i joined a while ago

i laugh at how i didn't see how i could get in.

jconstant on Nov 18, 2007

Arg, IB in! Har, har.

anti on Nov 19, 2007

Congratulations jconstant, you have a successful entry into Stuff that don't count!

dyar on Dec 05, 2007

I'm In

debbye on Dec 05, 2007

Congrats dyar, i would have thought you arrived even before anti!!!

lobotomia on Dec 05, 2007

I liked the idea!

anti on Dec 05, 2007

Welcome dyar and lobotomia! Good job. :)

anti on Jan 31, 2008

You guys help me out here. Should ridicule be immediate and ruthless, or should I give fair warning?

misterhaan on Jan 31, 2008

ruthless and immediate is the best form if ridicule, isn’t it?

also, now that i’ve actually read this post to figure out what this group’s all about i’ve joined.

anti on Jan 31, 2008

Welcome, misterhaan, great to have you in Stuff that don't count!

anti on Jan 31, 2008

Oh, my, my, we can't be having this. Everyone please join me in piling on the ridicule for iamback's most unsuccessful attempt at an entry.

:P :P :P

misterhaan on Jan 31, 2008

anti on Jan 31, 2008

Nice. I need that. :þ :þ

gswd on Jan 31, 2008

:þ :þ :þ

sloan on Jan 31, 2008

what about me??? I still can't count. I have ta calculate

anti on Jan 31, 2008

Welcome, sloan, you are successfully not listed right along with us!

misterhaan on Jan 31, 2008

sloan, you appear to be not in the Stuff that don't ... group instead of the Stuff that don't count group.

anti on Jan 31, 2008

Either way, it obviously don't count! :)

debbye on Jan 31, 2008

Oh my! we have a "member" of our beloved clan, with 10 points! :þ

sloan on Jan 31, 2008

huh?

anti on Jan 31, 2008

@sloan hence all the ridicule.

sloan on Jan 31, 2008

but its the oxy-thing right?

anti on Jan 31, 2008

no, just a very secret club.

sloan on Feb 01, 2008

no I meant the belonging to the (other) club and having points (not me)

anti on Feb 01, 2008

There is another club?
