Post Why the fasination with this AMAF thing???

I haven't been posting much here due to my car being down from a timing belt failure. I recently have been reading some posts and it seems the entire board has gone nuts!!

Has this board been so boring lately that everyone is looking for the next Craig on purpose? It seems that everyone has been so nice, that all the pent up anger is now manifesting itself in the form of AMAF-bashing.

I mean, come on - all this guy has done has made up stories and called the posters here old - that's about all I get from the small amount of reading I've done concerning this AMAF.

This guy is either....
1. Some kid who doesn't even own a Porsche and is here dreaming
2. Just some immature kid who needs attention
3. A real person, whom isn't that bright
4. Craig
5. Someone here who is trying to raise the enjoyment level of the board......I'd call out SHAUN, but this is too raw for him - he would be more creative than this.

My guess is the clue is in his name. Those letters stand for something. I think he is someone from here because he takes the abuse you guys have been giving him very well - an immature person would react differently.

....and on that note - I have always found the posters here to be mature and down to earth, but seeing the responses this AMAF has draw from the posters here has really, really suprised me big time.....it sometimes even appears to me that AMAF isn't being treated fairly. It's not like he is making death treaths or calling peoples mothers names or anything, but I've even read where people here have wished he would die - what is up with that???

I bet if encounters with him were in person, then there might not be such a frenzy. The fact that we are on a web discussion board distances us from the fact that this person may actually be a human being.

I do tend to feel at times that this is someone spoofing us. He doesn't come off as an impetuous kid like good ole Craig.

I kind of wondered what that stood for too.

i agree with Boyee -he doesnt respond to all this bashing with any kind of anger. He just chimes in enough to keep things going. I thought it might be Shaun as well, but yeah his (amaf's) posts are a little too dull or something, really. (BTW Shaun, i thought the computer-fire thing was funny as hell, i was dyin). Regardless, i'm not so sure this guy is real. I did notice people were giving him some serious hell tho, perhaps cause they knew it was bull****... but i dont know.

Between all the technical posts it's fun to get something bizarre like AMAF's posts. I think he's real, just a bit inexperienced. His posts are written as if for an audience of people his own age, and older posters, and more mature ones, just have to call bullsh*t! Really his stories couldn't be much more "poserish" than the one with the kid thinking of adding a computer fan to get a sound like a turbo "whoosh". <img src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" border="0" alt="[hiha]" />
