    I don't know.

    But I gave up counting after I'd reached EIGHT threads for free bodyform samples! Can people not read the titles of the other threads before posting?

    I think part of the idea is so that they get merged and another part is to highlight multiple threads for the same offer.
    it annoys the !!!! out of me too :D

    I just cottoned on to this, have you noticed that they have all been bumped by 'DarkTechno' the selfproclaimed forum police.

    Some people must have very little to do with their lives!!!!

    Well, I just decided to be detective myself!!! I just checked out his 100 recent posts and over 2/3 said 'bump' and 99% of the rest were to complain about people not searching before posting or not posting in correct place.

    Just wondering how long it takes for this post to get a comment:rotfl:

    i agree its very annoying 8 posts for bodyform and as many for squares of chocolate. perhaps its a girl thing!
    It is better to contemplate writing a malicious comment that can make you appear stupid, than to write and confirm it.

    It does help the mods though, when they see them all together is easier for them to merge them. Darkteckno always bumps them but only to be helpful. So good work fella.
