Stop it

That's harsh, Chris. You'll pay for that later.

it was the "he's got it in a lavender colour" that got me in stitches......

On a serious note, perhaps Velocio could set up an automatic PM-answering service if the PM contains the words 'aerospoke', 'arrospok', 'aero spok', 'aero spoke', 'arro spok', etc.?

I think the way we see it, as one of the growing number of forum running gags, it is still very funny (i.e., it crops up occasionally, you recognise it and chuckle a bit), but I doubt I'd find it so funny if I was on the receiving end of just the one joke all the time.

It was probably just about tolerable a while ago, but now there seem to be 25 new members joining every day (based on Velocio's estimate that 10,000 members would be reached 40 days after 9,000 members), and what do people get when they UTFS for 'aerospoke' and other spellings ... ?

I do not sell aerospokes for 50 dollars. If you believe that, then you are an idiot. prices have gone up and they are now $75

well I hope this is clear to all those idiots who believed this sick joke..

why did you accept my paypal payment for 50 dollar then?

I heard he whacks on the 25 for postage then delivers it himself

it's a good way to cull the hopeless cretins off the forum, post up the names of the PM'ers

• 1 i love a good list
  

I'm with Charco, name and shame.

No - Please don't. It's not fair to embarrass fellow forumites.

@ASM - you never got back to me mate

There are so many that it would actually take me a couple of hours. Which would mean looking through my inbox, which would make me angry.

I received something in the region of 20 PMs in the past few days, and more than half of them were about aerospokes. One guy even sent me a 2nd PM when I didn't reply to the first!

how do I change my forum name?

I am really very sorry about that.

I am really very sorry about that.

And I'm sorry about the second pm

how do I change my forum name?

ask David to do it for you.

how about changing it to 'spock-guy' or 'aero-man'?

keep 'em coming... maybe you should organize a 'i tried & failed to buy-a-spok from ASM ride'

have you seriously thought of becoming a dealer for aerospoke?
think about it. you are the main man that all the hipsters flock to, people speak of you in hushed tones and whispered conversations.
"you want aerospoke?"
"uh-huh"
"i know a man, he will be in touch"
the aura and myth behind the illicit purchase of one of these revered hipster musthaves that's your USP.
i really think you are missing a trick here.

Yeah dude.. just start selling 'em for a premium to people dumb enough not to get the joke.

Change your avatar to this. And also maybe set it up as a automatic reply to your pm's

The problem with that is that most of these people honestly believe that I'd sell them for $50. And i doubt aerospoke would sell them to me at a price where I could make a profit from it. If they are, then bring it on!

There are at least some people on that list who definitely didn't seriously believe that you really sold them ...

Is that you obliquely admitting to an alias (or two) oliver?? ;)

And whether the PMs were sent knowingly or unknowingly, the only thing that they achieve is to fuck me off a little bit.

Excellent

Just before they're about to buy tell them the latest cost is RRP + 20% and blame the exchange rate. That's what everyone else seems to be doing.

No, I just know some of the people on the list, and they're not me.
