    nice work mewbie, another user name - how hurt you must be that you've had to resort to these multiple identities.

    You may or may not have 'spotted' a mewbie identity. I suspect that will be of very little concern to anyone.
    i don't think so mewbie you show lots of concern otherwise you would not have been so bothered to write quite a long post and troll a number of my other posts.

    some people are born to be unhappy :beer:

    Hi all,

    As this thread is primarily about how the site is run, I will move it to the site feedback board

    Um, whut?

    I was referring to Chuck, as is quite plain to see, and i stuck the 'y' on the end coz it's a Fool and Horses quote to Rodne'Y'....get over yourself love ;)

    Oh, and my 'concern' as you put it was because last night i'd had a drink, couldn't sleep and was bored...all the other forums i go on (using the same name, as it goes) were dead, and there was only a bit of chat going on here. (EDIT: just noticed that you actually said that to someone else...i was in a bit of a rush to defend myself. But, the point still stands.)

    Now, before the paranoia fairies take over again, why don't you go and have a look at my other posts, do a bit of research, and don't be so quick to jump on a new poster. Bullying is not a good look.

    Sorry. Not bothered about the rest of the thread, but thought that pic was strangely scary. :o :rotfl:

    Why does anyone care about sockpuppets (also known as AEs), other users' postcounts, thanks counts, yawn counts, laugh counts, who is who, who was who, who might be who????

    This is the internet folks - when someone annoys us we can ignore them or change screen, site, or switch off.

    Then again, the bickering, p1ss taking and offence taking that goes on with those who take things and themselves so seriously and even bother to get new usernames to score points, is quite entertaining to some others of us who watch from the sidelines on cold evenings... :D
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.
  • Ha ha. Well I have been a forum adminstrator for several years now. (Not this one obviously) but this is the first time I have ever heard of the term "Sock puppet" I will definately remember this one. haha.

    Afriend isn't actually a sock pupper/alternate alias Hamish, it's a genuine poster - the others are ex posters who have been PPR'd
