I'm back...

[John]

... and I'll try to get through the backlog of messages. I will try to read everything, although there will only be time for me to reply to those useful ones, :) And I do have my computer automatically screening out messages with the words 'John', 'France' and 'party' in. ;)

Anyway, I hope you are all keeping well, and I'll get replying over the next few days - don't panic if your message does not appear to receive immediate attention.

John

first of all let me say
Welcome back,
and second,


Sam for Guru!

Its about time you got back and let James have an early night:) Where's my case of wine, l will expect in the office next week.

More importantly what new stuff is coming up for this site.

Oh yes and welcome back!

[kedaman]

Yep, it's time for Samantha Finch to get demoted to Juniour member, hehe Guru of course.

Also, Dennis and I found out that if you post over 4096, you won't be Guru anymore =?

Anyway, If you could have the email notifications to point at the last page instead of the first, it would be great

[V(ery) Basic]

So, John, how was Mrs. Le Pont?

[parksie]

Hehehehehe. :D

John's probably going to kill us for this...I wonder how many messages there are with Mrs. Le Pont in? :)

Okay, so there's only 5, but that's not the point ;)

Correction:

John will kill V(ery)

:D

[kedaman]

Jep, I just saw John killing Very. hehee.
Hey, Dennis you just have 86 posts left and you're guru too :)=

Me Guru?


<imagines: waving at all the little people that made this possible>

:D


Jep, I just saw John killing Very.

Such a shame, I thought they both lived in the UK, or I thought you lived in Aland or something,
its also a shame because V(ery) could have been a good stand up commedian, well OK he wouldnt have made a good commedian, but it would have been funny to see him bomb out :D

[SteveCRM]

Hey, can I get a backstage pass to the big blowout guru party ;) DAM* I Mean shucks! You posted a lot! I had the same as you, then went on vacation for a week and a half, and now your almost a guru!

Dennis is growing up before our eyes, soon he'll be all big, :( sniff sniff :((i told myself I wasn't going to lose it):(, he'll have a big job...

hehehe ;)

Uh, this is probably dumb, but whos Mrs. Le Pont?

What's that about.

I don't think you automatically gain guru status dependant on post numbers anymore.

Bring back Very Basic, was enjoying his posts.

yeah, I'll have to have people vote for me.... I love you all ;)

yeah I want V(ery) back

err.. I think Mrs. Le Pont was someone V(ery) made up :D
am not abosuletly sure though.

[kedaman]

Yep, everybody go vote for Dennis, hehe
I guess John knows what V(ery) is talking about

Yep, everybody go vote for Dennis



Good Idea! ;)

[parksie]

Yeah, sure...I'll vote for you if you answer one of my questions...they're hard (such as...the internal object format of a VB .obj file and how to link it with a C++ program).

Nah. I'll vote anyway.

[dimava]

how much posts do you need to have to become guru?

1024

but because of Megatrons, Kedamans, and Sam's Post-Racing he doesnt automaticly promote you, you have to be voted in...

[parksie]

Over 1000 and be voted in.

[dimava]

I'm 2 posts over half way there

Dimava: See this link (http://forums.vb-world.net/index.php?action=faq#titles) for a list of titles.

Denniswernn Keep in mind that all of the silly posts Kedaman and I made were deleted.

[dimava]

I'm just wondering, (I'm not trying, but everyone is welcome to) if you Delete all of your posts then will you be a NEW MEMBER again, or will you still hold your title? or Maybe the website and PHP code will crash the whole server. Anyone willing to try?

[SteveCRM]

What was that...around 300 megatron?

when john stopped counting chitchat posts, I went from like 300 to 250,
and I was still hyperactive for about 2 days, then it got back to normal(Addicted).


Megatron:

They were deleted, but I am pretty sure that john would still have auto-promotions for guru if it wasnt for the race.

[parksie]

Those 300 don't put a dent in Meg's post count anymore, though :).

[V(ery) Basic]

Mrs Le Pont is the woman who John has being paying visits to while in France. She is the wife of a successful businessman, who has to work late nights in the city. John just couldn't resist those long French legs and full southern bust. John being the ugly, boring, unfit yet rich man that he is, Mrs Le Pont just couldn't resist seeing how many they could share genetic data.

These posts bring me back to the good old days when Megatron seemed almost human ;) .

Denniswernn: Actually, I'm glad that we don't have auto-promotions anymore. I'm sure Kedaman and the other Guru's would agree. For instance, there are people with a high quantity of post that I think should not be promoted; mainly because the majority of their posts are ones that they've managed to sneak in, rather than helping othes.

Megatron:
First of all its DennisWrenn, but that doesnt matter too much :p,
I wasnt saying I minded not being automaticly promoted, if I get enough votes, I will feel much better, than if I got it just by posting. Because then I would know people appreciated my help.

[dimava]

if any one did (lol :) )

just kidding, I'll vote for you, come now everyone vote for DennisWrenn

[parksie]

I'll vote again :)

[kedaman]

I vote again and again and again!! Hehe just because it's cool to vote. No i think Dennis have done a lot improovement ;)

No, i think the silly posts still remains somewhere, if you search for them ? Anyway Meg, who do you think should not be promoted?

[parksie]

And don't say me...;)

Ok Parksi, I wont say me but I will say you

;)


Megatron: Are you talking about someone like V(ery)?? heh....

[parksie]

I don't think V(ery)'s anywhere near 1000 posts yet.

Hang on...I think I overtook him somewhere...;)

I see many posts, mostly about being Guru. But no one bothered to ask John this. So I will:

How was your trip John?

[parksie]

How was your trip John?

Ask a silly question...everyone knows John had a very good time ;)

[dimava]

yep a (v)ery good time with out (v)ery Basic

LOL just kidding, nothing personal

[parksie]

Don't worry John...you can have as much of V(ery) as you want now!

[kedaman]

BTw parksie, how did you know it was V(ery)?

[SteveCRM]

I haven't been in this forum for a while. Whats up with V(ery)?

[parksie]

kedaman - how did I know what was V(ery)?

SteveCRM - V(ery) Basic has been spreading it around the forum about John and Mrs Le Pont, who he met whilst on holiday in France...

Somewhere in here l read that John and James decide on awarding the guru status, and not due to member voting.

Megatron

So you were almost human once.:0 Must have been before you were a guru l guess.

John

If guru is not awarded with 1014 posts or so, can we have another status...hmmmm....something like fellow.
