    Cool

    ... 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

    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

    Hehehehehe.

    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

    Me Guru?


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



    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

    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?

    Question 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.

    Guest
    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
    am not abosuletly sure though.

    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.

    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?

    What was that...around 300 megatron?

    Guest
    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.

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

    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 ,
    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.

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

    How was your trip John?

    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...
