    Wasn't there a poster on here a while ago who thanked people a lot, but someone made a threat against him/her or their kids? Perhaps Rewired is this person because all s/he does is thank people. Since this site became 'invitation only', a lot of lurkers will have had to register to continue to read it.

    HP - you know more about the history of the board than the rest of us put together. ;)

    Anyone interested in the !!!!!! industry should check out AA Gill's article about writing a script for a !!!!!! movie. Fascinating.

    PS - I went to see this yesterday:

    Ad9898 and Mr. Broderick were ppr'd. Simply impossible to believe they were the same person, so quite a purge by MSE standards. I have written a quite firm letter of complaint to MSE, and was so mad I nearly sent it.

    I thought AD was leaving the board for a couple of weeks, I wonder if he won the lotto as well. What was the thread about that caused the problems?

    I thought that as well. Almost like he knew. But I think he didn't know, and it was a conicidence. Anyway, check his ID if it's still around - it said PPR. we were all shocked.

    Less shocked about Mr. B if I am honest. He thought you could never have enough small penis pictures but MSE took a slightly different viewpoint.

    So what happened?

    I was away for the w/e. Had a couple of nights in Sydney with Mrs Generali and without the kids ;-))))))).

    Have a load more regulars been PPR'd? What happened?

    To stay OT, DAK what happens to !!!!!! sales in recession? Are sales elastic or not WRT income?

    ad9898 and Mr. Broderick were ppr'd. Coincidentally at the same a number of sock puppets (masterofsockpuppets, Imasockpuppet, Yourasockie, etc) were also ppr'd. That's all I know. For about thirty minutes the forum behaviour improved noticeably, but that wore off.

    The board will miss AD, his posts were quite influential.

    I have been without direction since his passing. Just aimlessly posting rubbish without any real focus. It's a real change.
