      After todays anal raping i figured you would recover for while by not posting here but you seem to like to be abused and make a fool of yourself.

      Hey maybe its even time for another poll for more self destruction.

          Lensman doesn't run TCG, in case you didn't know...
          ;-)))

          I convinced TCG owner to extend the sig purchases,
          rather than throw poor trash to McDonald counters..

          and we ALL appreciate your efforts of promoting TCG today,
          good job for a worthless whore...

          you see, you CAN do a good job when you are led by Serge...
          ;-))))

          why do you think I put TCG in the poll and not Lars?
          ask yourself,
          WHO is paying Serge to rally battuses?

                    Agreed. Still, Serge manages to drive more and more pageviews to his threads and more and more people to his board. I will never understand how Lens can tolerate this. Must be a business thing. Or maybe Serge gives good head. Wouldn't surprise me, with over 60+ years of experience.

                            How long has he already been spamming here? His board moves slower than his grandma in a wheelchair.

                            He spends a few hours a day here to spam his shit and gets 1 new member a day that posts 1 new thread a week.

                            His board is a failure traffic wise.

                            People who say hes smart by making all these posts here are wrong. Way too much effort, way too little effect.

                                          Maybe you should make one only you can win.

                                          Battuss
                                          or
                                          Serge

                                          I feel sorry for what happened to you earlier on today.

                                                Maybe you should make one only you can win.

                                                Serge

                                                I feel sorry for what happened to you earlier on today.
                                                me too...
                                                $3000 I got from JB for making you jump weren't worth it
                                                ;-)))

                                                thanks God you are stupid and easy to manipulate,
                                                or I'd give him his money back
