Flash Quote by Lestin
“Yeah bro, you really took ityrevheng she said TOTALLY the wrong way. You posted an ART SITE to counter what she said about MUSIC sites???? She NEVER said flash as a whole was bad, just flash intros (which 90% of people skip, and the other 10% likely couldn't figure out how to do so). You turned it off because you disagreed with what she said when in reality you only heard what you wanted to.”
