One of my votes didn't get a response which is odd cause I only used that
domain once.

You know ADV was started by a few fans.
That's putting it mildly. My Soul. Now!
Vaughn L.Porter
You do know Zombies are flesh eaters?
No it isn't! The whole was started by a couple of fans. That's it! They
weren't rich, they just a fansubbing thing going and they took it pro.
Got regoed and petitioned for a job.
> My Soul. Now!
No.
> Vaughn L.Porter
> You do know Zombies are flesh eaters?
They don't eat anything as I know them! They just kill!
I was agreeing with you. I was just pointing out that "a few fans" is an
understatement when it comes to ADV's founding.

Anyone else want me to shut up?
You know that Matt and Dave are the one's who started it right? Those two!
As few really means 3 that would mean that I overstated the case.

We look for it I guess.
Bah... it's not there still. :(
Guess we need more votes?

Maybe so, I'm out of domains though.
