Anyone from durban?

[Ron2K]

I noticed the frag lan is a durban event,so I went to their site and its really outdated! But they hold the lan right here in Pinetown where I live. I'd love to attend it sometime,that way I could meet a lot of the computer community. You Gauteng guys are really lucky! Everything is up there! Expos,concerts,computer suppliers. Jelly and I have to budget the cost of shipping our parts! I'm paying R190 to get my case shipped down here! And in september jelly and I are going on a roadtrip up to jhb for the rAge expo!

KillerByte and myself helped start that off, by the way. Last I heard, they'd lost their venue (was being demolished) and are still on the lookout for a new one.

[Tribble]

We should have. We did everything - short of the cage fighting. You would not get me to put those suits on.

[Slimshaedy]

Iv never met a girl who has an interest in computers! They're a bit of a myth haha! Jelly and I will arrange accomodation for the rAge weekend,even if we camp outside! And then we will meet u guys,and girls!

And stig the beach is so overrated hey! Its boring to me!

Latest news I'm holding a lan at my place! Guess how many people are coming? Wait for it..... 3! The jelly, a friend who plays games casually but has no interest in computers, and myself! Now that's sad!

[Tribble]

No - that can be tons of fun. Depends on how you look at it.

And there are tons of girls that go to rAge. Granted - some only go for the Anime and the cosplay - but hey I don't think you will complain There are lots of girl gamers. And I am real - no myth. But then I am too old to be called a girl So I don't count.

[Slimshaedy]

@ron2k the frag lan was held at edgewood college wasn't it? Well that building is still standing, its a FET college. There's bound to be a venue somewhere around here!

And stig that's a really good idea! How about rAge moves venue to Durban haha!

[The_Jelly]

hey Slim u right bro had a good laugh... A pcf meet will be awesome we must make a thread closer to the time as suggested... i need a big A3 'the jelly' name tag made

i was invited to a couple frag lans a long while back dude just never ended up going for some reason....
and u so right dude.... its sad there are so few kzn'ers here....

[KatrynKat]

as said before, they are a few of them on here...

but also said before.... those who where from the KZN area and who have left.... are always there when there is a meet...

[The_Jelly]

my bad... but really gona try hard to be there this year cant wait! lets just hope all goes well and we pull in!

[Anakha56]

Anakha56 is a Durbanite, and I hear he is also quite enthusiastic about meeting young men like you and jelly for all sorts of games.

Oi! I am not your ho that you can just pimp out! Remember rusty is your worker not me!

*shakes head*

Noticed something on the first page other hamin's drunk rambling. Define "enthusiasts"? Need to know if I fit this category...

[jee]

Slim my little cornflower, if all goes well, i will be setting up my first gaming centers in libraries in kzn in the next few months... I actually would like to arrange some of you to "train " the ambassadors that is going to run these centers....

[Slimshaedy]

I'm keen! Super keen! And anakha by enthusiasts I mean guys who are really into computers. We spend ridiculous amounts of money on hardware and we specifically pick our hardware to suit our needs. Where as a general computer user needs any computer to read his/her emails.

And just as a side note is being a forum administrator your job? Or is it a side job?

[The_Jelly]

Ya that and not just buying a pc to meet gaming requirements and knowing y certain components are faster than others, not just cause the model number has a higher value...
As slim said a person that chooses their hardware for a reason, is into overclocking, modding, benchmarking, cooling or just keeping up with the latest tech releases...

And ya dude super keen. Slim and I would be there in a heartbeat...

[KatrynKat]

ok.... count me out then..... but i will do the snacks and be the barlady if that will help...

and being a forum admin is neither of these guys and gurl's day job.... jee would then never be able to afford my shopping sprees....

[Stuart]

And just as a side note is being a forum administrator your job? Or is it a side job?

Most of the forum staff do the job in their spare time. Until just a few years ago, Anakha's spare time consisted of baking choc chip muffins, listening to Celine Dion music and watching reruns of Dawson's Creek. The then-üBer-Admin of PCF offered him R3.50 an hour to keep QBM and Moses at bay and he jumped at the opportunity. Its his primary source of income now.

QBM and Moses still run rampant.

[Slimshaedy]

That's awesome! Seems like a great job to do in your spare time!

@katrynkat so if your not a computer enthusiast then what would you call yourself? You have a general interest in computers,or blogging and forums? And doing the snacs and being the barlady would be a huge help!!

[Bladerunner]

That's awesome! Seems like a great job to do in your spare time!

It's only fun for the first week or two

[Slimshaedy]

I think I'd enjoy it. I don't see any negative sides to it? But then again I'm looking at it from my point of view. I have no idea what goes on behind the scenes of this forum:)

[rustypup]

I have no idea what goes on behind the scenes of this forum

such a festering nest of debauchery, nepotism, corruption and perversion you would not likely see again in your lifetime...

not to worry, though... they won't be joining us in the rapture this weekend...

[KatrynKat]

@Slim: i use computers as a tool for research.....
so, as long as it can do the job then i am happy...

[Slimshaedy]

O ok I see. And rustypup I'd love to get a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes haha,sounds amusing!

[KatrynKat]

it's quite a gaggle sometimes...
other times not.... it hurts when that banhammer comes down on you....

[Slimshaedy]

I can imagine hehe

[Brad2.0]

Slim, JELLY!! Do you want frenz. I be ur frenz, lol!
But seriously ppl, In durban, if you spend too much of time with your pc you MORE GAY THAN GAY! (no gays were hurt during the typing of this statement)

[KatrynKat]

guys from Durban are generally not that gay....

[Slimshaedy]

Jelly and I both have girlfriends thanks brad.
