    Posting on old threads in here, IWIWIW or game over makes no difference to the smooth running of the live competitions boards.


    I don't think you got what I was doing.


    PS - Sorry for the typo.

    They don't affect me as I go either by 'Newest Thread' or end date, but there's a clear difference between a useful bump and 'thanks would love to win!'.

    Bumping ..

    The question of does it matter? Why bump? Define a useful bump? And bump the pringle advent thread and I will kill you.

    I miss the days when threads were bumped with don't bump the threads messages. ( Guilty).

    This is the internet and people will post as they feel fit. Some will stick to the conventions of the forum and some won't. Some will be ok with those not conforming, some will be annoyed and some will have to go into therapy.

    The more interesting thing here, the elephant in the room if you like, is who are/were a couple of posters(you know who you are in more ways than one)? I know we can not actually discuss this but really guys? Bygone and all that.

    all i'll say is, at the time, the regulars sub-section looked like a bomb had gone off in the bumping factory.

    Well bang goes my theory about who was who..

    Reminds me of the days of LO ( missed but not forgotten)

    More random bumping than when the partially sighted boy got a turn on dodgems with hiccups.

    BTW I do so hate it when you can't say anything about somebody's awful grammar when they bring sentimentality into it.

    It's who fffs.
