2000th post
I was going to try and be funny (for once) and post something I made and make people laugh and yell ‘woo yay’. I even thought about doing an ultra-special b3tv news report (there will be more soon, I promise).
Then I realised I needed to say something.
I’m physically old enough to be a Dad to some of the board contributors (Flanflinger and Fat Boab would say old enough to be Grandad!) and I don’t want to sound ageist in what I’m about to say so please ‘bear’ with me.
Recently, the messageboard has been littered (as in rubbish) with petty squabbles. As far as I can see these, on the whole, are the result of b3tans being intolerant of each other and newbies and in most cases avoidable…
I therefore make the following requests of EVERYONE.
Please can we get back to the days of being nice to each other and IF someone gets upset then to think twice before retaliating like with like (it’s how wars start, look East!).
If a new member doesn’t follow the board rules or read the FAQ, could the regulars point out the error nicely – I think the phrase ‘silly chicken’ is excellent!
Well that’s it. Not very exciting for a 2000th post. Some of you will mutter ‘silly old silver surfer’ but if everyone counted to 10 before reacting, the board would be a nice place again – at the moment it is in danger of losing all of what it stands for, and besides, you are all a bunch of tarts and I love you all.
Thanks for putting up with an ‘Oldie’

I'm not deranged, just different. You see, I'm a dog that thinks he's a cat and has this special knowledge that lets me know when other animals think they're something they're not.

...if I wanted to be nasty to people and have vicious arguments, I would stay in real life.
btw - stop fucking wasting threads eh? :)
So what's all this about thread wasting? Is there a limit to how many threads there can be?

threads to a page, the old ones slunk off into the archive. it's generally better to post a pic to start a new thread.

a maximum of 20 threads visable on the board at once. So when someone wastes a thread with crap not realy say anything important then it will push someones masterpeice off the board...Unless it's pushing a wasted thread off the board anyway.

...before they are pushed back into the spazz.
It can be slightly annoying if your photoshop masterpiece slips off the end of the board when someone posts something like "I'm having sausages for tea".
I was only joking btw Mr Bear - your post was good thread usage if I may say so.

So (asking with the innocence of a three year old asking why the sky is blue), is the spazz infinitely massive or is there a restriction on that too? (can you tell I've not been around long yet?)

Sound advice, if only the world had more of you in it peraps we wouldn't been in this blinkin mess. Tis why sometimes I prefer to lurk and just read coz people can get the wrong end of the stick. Silly Chickens, that's such a great slogan. I'm gonna teach it to my younger chaps here at work as swearing really gets my goat. Respect dude. Keep the news coming it's fab !
