Yeah... I know.... juvenile.

ya but we old memebers did play along I remember those days. But we were congratulated back then by our peers for hitting monumental posts. All in good fun really.

Bristol City 0 - 6 Cardiff

That, in a Championship promotion play-off? Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

Bristol City manager Gary Johnson: "It's the sort of night when it is best not to say much. Whatever reason I try to offer for that performance will be picked apart. We have a lot of soul searching to do over the next few days before our next game at Middlesbrough. It wasn't that we forgot how to defend, we just couldn't defend on the night."

Gordon Bennett. Go on, carry on, interruption over. I saw the highlights. Utterly Hilarious.

You think you're confused, I still haven't found the playing rules for the game "silly buggers".

On another forum they installed an option called Ignore Manager. This option lets members ignore forum areas or threads they do not wish to see or subscribe to. Just like you can place a member on your ignore list this would allow you to put word games on ignore or any other thread you wish not to view.

Which proves you can mega increase your post count without word games.

Minks - I remember when you and LC were in a posting race.. those were the days!!!

Can't remember who won, but it was close. :sneaky:

AussiePam · Post by **AussiePam** » Fri Jan 29, 2010 12:20 pm

Minks has over 25 thousand posts

Spot has over 21.

I have to have a few seconds between my posts but this could add up.

"Between my posts" sound kind of obscene, it's just not quite cricket. Or even The Open...
