I hope you didnot send the invite to RichyGtwo (at) gmail (dot) com.

RichyG, Monday, 16 April 2007 10:01 (nineteen years ago)

Dear "Oink Administrator,"

I have a number of questions for you.

#1

Got my invite today! Thanks!

-- chaki


A search for chaki shows no sign of an application ever being submitted. However, as the above quote demonstrates, chaki reports having received an invite and your response to this was, ":):) That's great news chaki! Welcome to our community! :):)" indicating that you do not see chaki as having misrepresented himself.

#2

As dthemora, a user who you said was approved weeks ago yet never received an invite, noted:

Oink Administrator (sanskrit) wrote: Confounded = Rejected


Confounded wrote: I got my invite very quickly here. Thanks Oink Admins!


Although Confounded replied with the explanation, "I got rejected the first time, but I didn't give up. Please don't call me a liar." a search for his name also finds absolutely no indication of an application. On the contrary, what it finds is a user "Oink Admin (Confounded)". Curious, indeed.

#3

Finally, it seems that there is no indication of anyone having ever submitted an application, being approved and then reporting successful retrieval of the invite.

Because of the aforementioned, you can no doubt see, then, how skepticism of the authenticity of this application process would come about. Indeed, since this is almost certainly a prank, I must comment that, while I admire your dedication at having kept it going for so long, had you had a few dupe accounts actually submit applications and then "get invites" it would've made things far more convincing.

Nonetheless, to be perfectly honest, I had never heard of either Deerhoof or Surjan before this, so while I am disappointed in the futility of my attempt at getting an invite, the bright side is that I got to broaden my musical tastes a little further.

Thank you,

Ridan Krad, Monday, 16 April 2007 10:28 (nineteen years ago)

Woah Ridan might me right....unless the Oink Admin can prove me wrong by sending me an invite!!

Dear "Ridan Krad,"

Congratulations on expanding your world a little! Perhaps some day you will be admitted into the web's most exclusive music community!

Thank you,

Oink Administrator, Monday, 16 April 2007 11:55 (nineteen years ago)

Dear "Oink Administrator,"

As you failed to address the points I mentioned, I will take this as you admitting that this is all a prank.

Thank you,

Ridan Krad, Monday, 16 April 2007 12:01 (nineteen years ago)

not a prank! i received an invite and download the new alblums! i admint that its kind of a chrallenge to keep up a good ratio on oink but well worf it!

chaki, Monday, 16 April 2007 12:06 (nineteen years ago)

Ridan you should check your spam folder the invite is probably in there.

jergïns, Monday, 16 April 2007 12:11 (nineteen years ago)

Chaki, as I already noted above, you never even submitted an application. You're just someone who's in on the prank but was too lazy to do a pseudo application. It's too bad, really. Had you done that, I might be tempted to believe you.

Jergins, why would an invite be in my spam folder when I was never even approved by the so-called Oink Administrator?

Ridan Krad, Monday, 16 April 2007 12:22 (nineteen years ago)

really you'll want to check it

jergïns, Monday, 16 April 2007 12:23 (nineteen years ago)

Dear "Ridan Krad,"

What points must I confront? That you are one of several disgruntled posters who did not receive an invite? I don't keep tabs on all the rejects -- although I can check on the ratio of all the approved members under the My Invites page in Oink.

Again, just because things don't turn out for you on this thread doesn't mean other people haven't benefited.

Maybe you and "crabcigar" can have a pow-wow.

I wish you luck in joining the web's most exclusive music community.

Thank you,

Oink Administrator, Monday, 16 April 2007 12:26 (nineteen years ago)

Dear "Oink Administrator,"

What is your explanation for how at least two people "received" invites without having ever having submitted an application?

Thank you,

Ridan Krad, Monday, 16 April 2007 12:31 (nineteen years ago)

Dear "Ridan Krad,"

I have no record of either "Confounded" or "chaki" receiving invites. Why would someone who received an invite return to this thread?

Clearly there are people posting falsehoods on the thread -- I don't approve every single message.

Thank you,

Oink Administrator, Monday, 16 April 2007 12:36 (nineteen years ago)

Dear "Ridan Krad,"

I am actually starting to like you, because you seem more conscientious than most.

I only wish your application had been a little stronger.

Thank you,

Oink Administrator, Monday, 16 April 2007 12:37 (nineteen years ago)

Dear "Oink Administrator,"

You may not approve every single message, but as I already noted previously, earlier on the following was said:

chaki: "Got my invite today! Thanks!"

Oink Administrator: ":):) That's great news chaki! Welcome to our community! :):)"

Isn't it rather odd that you, the one sending these invites and approving people, would not notice that chaki was not actually approved nor had he actually even submitted an application and instead just matter-of-factly send a welcome message? Indeed, isn't it even more odd that chaki could even receive an invite when the invite system is reportedly "broken"?

Thank you,

Ridan Krad, Monday, 16 April 2007 12:53 (nineteen years ago)

Dear "Oink Administrator,"

I am actually starting to wonder if you even know someone in Oink, let alone are a member or, god forbid, an administrator.

I only wish you were actually at least a member so you could send out invites to the skeptics as a reward for our attention to detail. Alas, you yourself aren't even a member of Oink. I wish you luck in joining the web's most exclusive music community.

Thank you,

Ridan Krad, Monday, 16 April 2007 13:04 (nineteen years ago)

Dear "Ridan Krad,"

I hear Dateline NBC is hiring.

Thank you,

Oink Administrator, Monday, 16 April 2007 13:15 (nineteen years ago)

Dear "Oink Administrator,"

I'm not interested.

Thank you,

Confounded, Monday, 16 April 2007 13:23 (nineteen years ago)

Hey admins,

I posted last Friday (the 13th), and am wondering if I would have heard of an invite by now, if approved. Just curious since I don't know the process. I've got a tremendous collection and I'd love to share it.

a) binaryan
b) ryan
c) 24
d) m
e) washington, dc

binaryan, Monday, 16 April 2007 14:44 (nineteen years ago)

Dear "binayran,"

You were not approved.

Thank you,

Oink Administrator, Monday, 16 April 2007 14:48 (nineteen years ago)

Hi,

Just wanted to say thanks again for the invite and accepting me into the community. One small request, if there is any way to muzzle that impostor guy from pretending to be me, it would be much appreciated.

RichyGtwo, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

^Shhhh....

RichyG, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:18 (nineteen years ago)

Do you understand that this is the account from which the application was submitted...?

RichyG, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:20 (nineteen years ago)

Dear "RichyGtwo,"

Thanks for your contributions to Oink! I will see to it that the imposter is silenced.

Thank you,

Oink Administrator, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:22 (nineteen years ago)

I posted last Friday (the 13th)

see, that was your problem right there

jergïns, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:27 (nineteen years ago)

Dear applicants,

Obviously, we take a very good-humoured approach to all this stuff!

Tee hee hee.

Thank you,

Oink Administrator, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:47 (nineteen years ago)

Thanks for the invite, Oink Admin. It took me a week or so to learn how bit torrent works, but now I'm discovering all kinds of new music.

If I were in your shoes, I'd be a little nicer to all these RichyG's and Ridans; they deserve invites too. But its your Oink, you can ban if you want to, lol lol. :) :) :)

Maybe once I earn a few invites myself, I'll come back here to post them!

Anthony Michael Samson, Monday, 16 April 2007 18:59 (nineteen years ago)

Oink Admin your full of it if you are really taking RichyGtwo's side.

RichyG, Monday, 16 April 2007 22:45 (nineteen years ago)

No offense, but I put perfect logic out there proving RichyGtwo is an imposter, I don't understand whats going on.

RichyG, Monday, 16 April 2007 22:49 (nineteen years ago)

Richy G-

I really don't see how this is so hard for you to comprehend. I have sent you TWO invites now, and you are still on a public forum making a scene.

I am going to send ONE MORE invite to Richy✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧ just to make this problem go away. (I guess sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease!)

Please use this invite wisely and maintain a respectible ratio. Also, be sure to check out the Garth Brooks re-edits that Confounded uploaded last week-- a real treat!

-Oink Admin

Oink Administrator, Monday, 16 April 2007 23:08 (nineteen years ago)

You're a funny guy, Oink Administrator. I love how you just acknowledged Confounded as a member of Oink just 10 hours after saying you have no record of him receiving an invite. You're so blatantly lying, yet people continue to believe you anyway.

You're my new hero. Keep up the good work!

Ridan Krad, Monday, 16 April 2007 23:17 (nineteen years ago)

Did you already send it?

RichyG, Monday, 16 April 2007 23:24 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, RichyG. He has sent three invites to Richy✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧. It's a wonder you haven't managed to receive your invite yet.

Ridan Krad, Monday, 16 April 2007 23:27 (nineteen years ago)

Dear Ridan Krad-

The feeling is mutual!

Yours,

Oink Admin

Oink Administrator, Monday, 16 April 2007 23:27 (nineteen years ago)

Ridan Krap OTM.

Oink Administrator, Monday, 16 April 2007 23:28 (nineteen years ago)

I GOT IT!!!! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Geez theres everything here at OiNK thank you sooo much!!!!!!

RichyG, Monday, 16 April 2007 23:40 (nineteen years ago)

Damn, Oink-A, with RichyG, who I presume is actually just some random guy who submitted an application having successfully received an invite (or at least saying as much), I don't know what to believe anymore. You've totally messed up my sense of reality. Bravo.

Dear Oink Administrator,

My image won't post, so I'll post a link to some hardcore oinkers.

sling_theory, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 03:06 (nineteen years ago)

Hmmmm... that link didn't work, can you try again?

Oink Administrator, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 03:18 (nineteen years ago)

Urgghhh! Bad Day, I wonder if I screwed up the Cat Power link from my answers? It works from my machine...This Snowstorm in the NE-US has destroy all my hopes and ambitions.

sling_theory, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 03:33 (nineteen years ago)

Um, I dont know what you're doing, but its still not working.

Have you taken a good look at the Formatting Help below?

Oink Administrator, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 03:40 (nineteen years ago)

Don't believe this fellow, sling theory. I'd recommend that you do a bit of reading before you post an application, at least. Ridan Krad's made some great points, and our dear prepubescent 'admin' isn't man enough to admit when he's been caught out. I'm sure he'll tell you that I've been rejected, but go back and check whether or not he's even replied to my full and impeccably written (I kid) application. Either way, good luck, sling theory. The road to OiNK is beset on all sides by evils (Ezekiel 25:17, or Pulp Fiction). Good night, sling theory, and good night to all of you. Btw, myspace password admin, you're hilarious, a regular riot, if I may be so bold.

merzhin, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 04:33 (nineteen years ago)

Oink Admin has many personalities. Confounded, Sanskrit, Pablo...

http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/1838/roflzxq2.png




so who are you now, Oink Administrator (RichyG)?

You guys should sign up to work for Google...I hear they're doing applications on this forum as well. Maybe you can snag a GMail invite!








lolz.

crabcigar, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 04:58 (nineteen years ago)

merzhin-

Your application was impeccably written.

You have been approved for membership.

Please maintain a respectible presence in our online community; indeed, the path to righteousness is beset on all sides by great evils.

Welcome, and God Bless.

-Oink A

PS- can you get sling_theory's link to work? Because it is just not showing up for me. I am really interested in seeing what is behind it.

Oink Administrator, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 04:59 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, and I still love you guys; no hard feelings. I just don't know what to believe, but whether or not if this is a scam I can't even tell. These people are confusing me and I want to crack down the mystery of the missing cupcake.



With all due respect,
Crab Cigar Esq.
