A day with GupShup - Funguy

Why did you join Gupshup? Does it do what it needs to do for you?

First of all thank you for the opportunity, Miss_Mohabbat. Please ignore all grammatical errors. It’s really intimidating talking in text with a person who is notorious of issuing fatwas against grammatically challenged folks like myself.

Back to your question… I have been using the internet since 1995. Like most of first timers, my first love was AOL. I really enjoyed the AOL IM and met lots of Pakistanis through that medium. That bug carried and I joined other desi chat and message boards such as yahoo.

Then one fine morning I needed some stuff on Pakistan’s history, did a google and viola…entered Gupshup. It took me directly to a post and I found the exact information I was looking for. The seed was planted.

In the beginning it did a lot for me. It brought me closer to desis. In real life my interaction with desis is only limited to cricket. Also, I spent most of my teens in America with very limited interaction with Pakistanis, specially females. GS gave me an insight into Pakistani girls thinking.

Who did you have to be nice to to become a Mod?

Actually that’s a funny question. The admin who banned me once and the only time was Saba. And amazingly enough a year later she asked me to join her team. I asked her if she was out of her mind because I won’t change my GS personna after becoming a mod. And she said, “that’s why I want you to moderate”.

Saba is one fine guppy. Having read her views in Mod forum I got to know her very well and I must say she was a very fair admin. Always knew how to separate facts from emotions.

Which forum would you get rid of, and why?

All the forums are like Gupshup’s children and to think of them as anything else is a sin. OK, that was BS. If I was to get rid of one forum, it has to be the Mod forum. You just don’t know how much party goes on there. It’s wild man. Mods go in there as if they enter a bar, get drunk and spill out all there secrets. I did it once and regret it to this day. I say get rid of Mod forum. As a replacement us mods can talk in Trash.

Who’s/Whose opinion do you dislike the most on GS? and why?

The list is endless. But it means nothing evil. I hate guppies who try to put others down based on their personality. Guppies who don’t tolerate others.

(At least PM me the real answer!)

Who’s/Whose opinion do you agree with just for the sake of it? and why?

ehsan’s.

:smiley:

Have you ever move a thread because you didnt like the person who had posted it? if not, would you try it? and of which guppy?

Never. I only move the content. The poster is irrelevent. Although it may be of no use to you, I would love to move everything umar.ashraf posts in KK without reading it. But luckily I am not KK mod.

Why havn’t you posted your wedding pictures yet?

She won’t let me.

*this ones for Zakk

What did you have for breakfast?
English muffin toasted to burn, an over-easy egg and a cupa tea.

Question
It appears

Re: A day with GupShup - Funguy

Daisy, I bet you answer your own question after a day on Gupshup, nevermind a few years! :p

Re: A day with GupShup - Funguy

lazy_D , Never. The time I spend on GS is time less spent watching tele. Sometimes I do wish I had not posted the stuff in Rlgn forum. That stuff coming from me can be a waste.

Re: A day with GupShup - Funguy

Missy you are right
this place is fantastic for learning things, having a laugh and a joke but erhem...can take up more of your hours than you wish

which is great if you are at work and are being paid

Re: A day with GupShup - Funguy

Re: A day with GupShup - Funguy

And you know fine well I am too much of a gori to type urdu, I never copy and paste either, originality counts :snooty:

Re: A day with GupShup - Funguy

Re: A day with GupShup - Funguy

Re: A day with GupShup - Funguy

^can’t compete with mehnaz and catty but that binmaanus jony??? I don’t even wana talk about it. :smash:

Re: A day with GupShup - Funguy

well he looks like a scary man but you fungus are a mushroom and whatever way you look at it mushrooms are not pretty....
if they were we'd have mushroom patterns over ore wallpaper or oilpaintings of mushrooms in our galleries.

Have you ever seen oil paintings of mushrooms

No?

I hereby rest my case.

sorry funguy ...have a tissue....wipe away those tears...

Re: A day with GupShup - Funguy

funguy-aap jaisa khobsurat insan mainei duniya main nahi dekha purr Jony wala joke rude tha.

Re: A day with GupShup - Funguy

I have to agree about the Mod forum bit. When I used to visit the forum, there was always a party going on. tsk tsk tsk.

Re: A day with GupShup - Funguy

Mahnoor, I know Jony and I know he knows when I joke. But thanks for your concern.

Re: A day with GupShup - Funguy
