Why are offers always ‘pending’?

So just why are so many offers left in the ‘pending’ stage for ages? I’m sure this is a question that you guys have all thought about before. Well, the answer lies in IRC, and I will share it with you now.

[18:05:31] <%xiong_chiamiov> psst, southie, I found some interesting info on arveene
[18:05:37] <%Southrop> oh, go on
[18:05:57] <%Arveene> I SIGNED UP FOR A HARDCORE YAOI FORUM TO CHECK FOR AN ORIGINAL FILENAME OK?!
[18:06:00] <%Arveene> JEEEZ
[18:06:09] <%Southrop> xD
[18:06:11] <%Arveene> rofl
[18:06:13] <%xiong_chiamiov> aw, you take all the fun out of everything
[18:06:15] <&Jarudin> tldr? 🙂
[18:06:22] <%Arveene> had to do it before xiong_chiamiov said it
[18:06:25] <%Arveene> =D
[18:06:57] <%Arveene> I figure it’d make a good WB message for Southrop too.
[18:07:09] <%Southrop> Oh. Good idea
[18:07:10] <%Southrop> 😀
[18:07:14] <%Arveene> Luckily I don’t reconnect / rejoin very often.
[18:07:15] <%kureshii> xD
[18:07:20] <%xiong_chiamiov> but you can cut out the “to check for an original filename” part
[18:07:29] <%Arveene> That’s not fair.
[18:07:38] <%kureshii> <%Arveene> I SIGNED UP FOR A HARDCORE YAOI FORUM […]
[18:07:45] <%xiong_chiamiov> who said I’m fair? :p
[18:07:50] <%kureshii> <%Arveene> I SIGNED UP FOR A HARDCORE YAOI FORUM TO CHECK […]
[18:07:56] <%Southrop> I’ll leave the quote intact to preserve what remains of Arveene’s dignity 😛
[18:07:58] <%Arveene> >.>
[18:08:04] <%kureshii> lol
[18:08:05] <%Arveene> Woot!
[18:08:07] <&Jarudin> <%Arveene> I SIGNED UP FOR A HARDCORE YAOI FORUM TO CHECK FOR AN ORIGINAL < – better quote 😀
[18:08:14] <%Southrop> Yeah, I was about to type that xD
[18:08:24] <%Arveene> ahah
[18:08:44] <%Southrop> <%Arveene> I SIGNED UP FOR A HARDCORE YAOI FORUM TO CHECK FOR AN ORIGINAL FILE

So the answer? Because Arveene signs up on yaoi forums, and we spend all of our time making fun of him 😀
