Hello. I'm in Real Time™! How exciting is that?

We noticed your absence from the night shift. Have you just got up? Or just got in?

Hi BI

Welcome to the present

I finished up falling asleep on the couch not long after getting in last night - I'm always knackered when I get back from London

Woke up about six and went off to bed for a few more hours. Then spent the morning lying in bed listening to Radio 4, too lazy even to get up and make coffee

Hello Diver & Scourer.

I'm still in the past so don't mind me drivelling away in my own little world.

Do we ever mind?

[BrowneIssue]

could you do TPD / (TPD+CUK) ? Not perfect as it excludes some LR posts.....

I don't feel entirely comfortable with that formula just for that reason.

If people are going to be lambasted for posting jokes & counting, then some way of having a table of Really Bad People is quite important. Especially if it puts your name at or near the top. After all, there's no point annoying the Generalists without giving them more ammunition to get worked up about!

Another really good one would be:

"Thread starters who had the most drivelly replies"

just because sasguru will be in the No.1 position for ever.

I just had a look at the Forum rules.

Surreal, innit?

I just had a look at the Forum rules.

Forum Rules

We welcome constructive, informative, tasteful and civil posts.

The forum is intended to be as pleasant a place as possible for all – for newbies and veterans alike. No flaming or disrespect for others please.

We ask that you kindly abide by the following rules:

1. No profanity or obscenities of any kind, even written back to front or disguised with asterisks etc.
   
2. Be nice to each other - no personal attacks on other users.
   
3. Defamatory, obscene, indecent, lewd, pornographic, violent, abusive, insulting, threatening and harassing comments are not tolerated.

Do you think somebody should tell them over in General?

Well Denny did try pointing those rules out and got banned permanently. I still reckon we are close to getting alot of bans - probably without warning...

I wish I knew what the mods/admin were thinking...

I dont think I ever got any real complaints about the joke posts - in fact several compliments.

The counting thread is quite different - us mathematical OCD types are so misunderstood.

Now that's the way to start a weekend. None of this silly jogging or going to the gym or shopping malarkey.

Waddya reckon to getting zeity to knock up some sort of device thus:

An old laptop with the guts removed.
Loaded with some batteries.
DC to AC converter.
Through a few transformers.
Relay connected to the case opening switch.

Set up to electrocute whoever opens it.

You take it to the pub and try to get your local Thieving Toerag® to pinch it.

[BrilloPad]

Not much. We know the stats for the forum totals (as posted earlier) but not by individual. Other stuff requires either access to the underlying database or a script to trawl through its contents.

Once again, cue NickFitz.

Or someone to get access to the underlying database on the QT. Which is, of course, illegal.

illegal! you want illegal I am your man! As the former head of the fax and email squad (and committed activist leader) I know it all!

Give us details of the blag then!

[Diver]

Anybody know where Zeity has disappeared to?
