I just want to say that i love Ian Zabel. He runs a great website where friends can discuss what's on their mind or just keep in touch through this wholesome online community. I really appreciate too that Ian isn't closed minded, and that he is extremely tactful and subtle and supportive even if he doesn't know it. These things are encouraging. What do you love about Ian?

Well, I can't make it anonymous, the spelling is good and I approved it! Excellent item and I share your views... I'm going to be moving cross country in July, so eZabel is going to be the way for me to keep in touch with my friends in NJ! Thanks and kudos to Ian!

great...i can see this one being quoted every few months as a reminder *sigh*

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

ian makes great buddy icons.

beachbum beachbumOG 2002

Ian is my hero!

jay79 jay79OG 2001

well, I don't love Ian so much, esp. when I have to sit next to him at a wedding, and he does mean mean things to me. :)

iwz iwz

haha, it'll never happen again, i swear!

I hated that he changed his name to Ian. But i have to admit, while i was in middle school and most of highschool, he did entertain me. I always wanted to go to the MAX and have a burger.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

miss bliss always got mad when we made him do our homework, for some reason.

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002

Very good.. I was a little lost, cause I knew "Zack" since he was a kid and I knew his name was always Ian...

Ian farts in my face sometimes, but other than that i like him pretty much. He wears cool ties and coordinates them very well with his dress shirts.

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

hmmm...can't figure out the dif between nested and threaded

iwz iwz

threaded is a work in progress. consider it beta. it's gonna have some cool new features soon

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

if it's in progress, isn't more like alpha? ;)

iwz iwz

haha, you're right on that one. it's certainly not feature complete yet. i just added in some new stuff. click on the nested comments when you're in threaded mode.

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

ahh...this definately looks better than the earlier version...keep it comin'

iwz iwz

coupla more updates now. looks a little nicer.

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

so, did u get sick of the squeezed comments along the right-side? how are malibu and tesoro supposed to have their scrunchy arguments now?

malibu malibuOG 2001

hey, watch it. those arguements are the best. the ones where you have to read a word at a line cuz that's all that fits. don't smash us cuz we enjoy our conversations.

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002

hmmm... like 20K Leagues to a Girl Fight... ha ha... good times!

malibu malibuOG 2001

is that what he was alluding too? i was wondering when me and tesero ever had scrunchy fights. get the facts straight jack.

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

<font-speak="valley-girl">duh! like, totally that's what i meant!</font-speak>

malibu malibuOG 2001 ok4now

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 thatdarngirl

malibu malibuOG 2001 ok4now

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 malibu

maybe u should go find a mirror and reflect, ya know?

malibu malibuOG 2001 ok4now

when i say things like that i just sound like a dumb blonde, you on the other hand..... well.....it makes people wonder.

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 malibu

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001

Carl that was lame... Ian you never cease to amaze me!

malibu malibuOG 2001

don't you mean kudos to chris o'donnell?

togatweeter togatweeterOG 2003

i'm new here, but from what i know and seen so far, Ian seems like a great guy. i know he's pretty patient, cuz i asked him questions about this website and i didn't even know the questions were already in the FAQ, he pointed that out to me.

iwz iwz

Hey, thanks for all the nice comments, everybody. :) makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. love you all! :)

jay79 jay79OG 2001

I'm still thinking of something nice...But everytime I try, I have traumatic flash backs of Brett's wedding :)

iwz iwz

aaaaahhaha i'm sorrryy!!! i apologize a millions times! i kiss you!

jay79 jay79OG 2001

hahahahaha ewwwww, that guy is so weird

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

my eyes green, i live alone!!

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

That is really upsetting. He likes sex and is a sports teacher

malibu malibuOG 2001

this is most possibly the scariest thing i have ever viewed. completely the reason i was never allowed to be on the internet for fear of seeing these things. come on now-- "i take fotos- people, animals, nude models?"

beachbum beachbumOG 2002

that pic on the beach w/ the red shorts-so nooooooot attractive. hot friends, though. i like the part where he says whoever wants to come to Turkey *SHE* can stay at his home. guess he doesn't want any male friends from other countries.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

can you imagine if like 40 guys showed up and were just like "hi, we're from another country, we can stay here for free, right??"

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

haha like when tour groups come from japan to go to bethel

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

geez... what a weird guy! anybody try calling that number?

beachbum beachbumOG 2002

why don't you be our hero and try it. let us know how it goes

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

tell him you know a nice girl who would be perfect for him, and give forreste's number, and say "her name is jessie spano"

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

what the heck?? you are just starting with me on all different levels today huh?

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

hmm yes. just because i can. yes. it's fun, eh.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

well you can start but i will finish!

malibu malibuOG 2001

ian is an astounding person. one time i was even just at a meeting for service and he made me laugh so hard and just the afternoon so much more enjoyable.

afroboy afroboyOG 2003

Now that i think about it I love IAN too!!!!

gogogetitOG 2003

Appreciate Ian ?!?!......he's the best !!

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003

I think for giving me the power to write lame FAQ's he should be deified..

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

now now, let's not get out of hand. i think your choice for april 1st for "ian appreciation day" is a good idea.

jollycandymanOG 2001

i remeber the good old days when i would want to play Roger Wilco but wouldn't know how, and Ian would walk through the entire video game telling me what to pick up and where to go. and i thougt gee what a great guy. but then he'd tell me to get his wallet out of his back pocket and fart when i tried and that pretty much ruined everything

iwz iwz

hahaha, those were the days. those were the days :)

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

hahahha matt, you have a lot of issues that need to be resolved. i mean, seriously.

J
jollycandymanOG 2001

yeah, a couple more years of therapy should do the trick
