This isn't on topic
and I will delete it if asked.

But, can we please stop the race for first post?
I just re-read the first few pages of this question and realised I'd missed some really good stories, because people had saved themselves a spot, only to post their story later.

So, please, I'm asking nicely, only post when you've got something to say, that way you'll get all the clicks that your very well written posts actually deserve.

*Edit* I guess it's my own fault really, if I wasn't so lazy I'd have read through them all again earlier. Meh.

What about the race
for the last post...?

That's fine
They're easily ignored, and nobody's going to go back and change theirs to include a very good, funny story.

WHAAAAAT?

Are you channelling Sensible Bert?

I disagree
I think the race for last post is far more annoying.

I for one will continue to get first post.

^This^
Though the mods have to take some of the blame for the race for last...

Oh, all right. Most of the blame.

I'll stop last
But I'll never stop being first.

I don't like the last post race.
It seems to irritate my OCD sensibilities. It's just not... organised.

^^ Yeah.
First post is fair game though.
Last post gets messy.

Sensible Bert
is as dead as my evil twin, I've got no hope of ever remembering the login details for that one.

My own fault then I suppose, I'll just have to re-read earlier posts more often. Even though that will be mildly annoying. :)

Definitely agree about the mods, they've gotten lazy, recycling old questions when there have been some perfectly good suggestions made, but the race for last is easy to ignore.

peopel camoping the site just for the ability to say "1st post!"
are pretty much not worht paying attention to, they seem to be the sort of peopel that are more interested in themselves than anyone else's view. I know it;s a generalisation but it seems to hold for most people.

Sorry Crap Monkey
but that's totally untrue.

Enzyme and Kaol generally get first post, and both of them write great stories, but I sometimes miss them, and that makes me sad.

Thats a bit mean
crap little monkey. Your sig runs particularly true for that last post of yours as well.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 29 Apr 2008, 11:25, closed)

Leave it al!
Just leave it, he ain't worth it mate!
I ain't losing you again, the coppers ain't gonna take you away from me this time..!

Step away from the monkey.

*grins*
I'm not likely to get first post this Thursday, as I'm out of the office, in London.

If I get it on my mobile, I deserve epic tribute.

@CLM
"... than anyone else's view..."

Wha'?
( Enzyme is powered by sunlight, Tue 29 Apr 2008, 11:31, closed)

I'm quite proud of myself actually...
For managing to get the last post on the 'Phobias' QOTW - AND stay (kind of) on topic :)

I must admit though, I was bored that day and had little work to do...






*looks around*





Goes back to work

Tha stupid Last post race ...
...Is a vile display of crapulent idiocy as well.

Knock it off.

I won't be here tomorrow. Tonight is Valborg in Sweden.. a good excuse to get drunka nd have a massive bonfire.

And therefore Thursday is a holiday....
and so's Friday, because noone wants to work a single day...

I love Sweden.

A bit of crapulent idiocy is sometimes a tonic for those weary workdays.
