Who will get to 50,000 posts first?

I don't want to open a hornet's nest with this post, but I for one am looking forward to Richard's return. I think CW is better with Richard than without.

AWTA.

 

[Langeveldt]

I seem to recall after one return he felt the need to reply to absolutely every post made during his absence (James actually warned him for it IIRC), so that's something to look forward to...

god, can't wait.. Still reckon I'm in with a shout for the 50K.. What if Dicko gets too annoyed to come back?

Nah dude.

No man can survive without oxygen.

Agree with you.

Richard has had his fair contributions to CW and he must be appreciated for them, a week's ban shouldn't make us think that he is that kind of guy.

BTW, I am also backing Marc's return, though I doubt if he has any idea about why we all want him to be back.

 

[Matteh]

Naah, he knows.

Haha nah, not even close. I was away for a month and more on that occasion (sometime in mid-2005), just replied to a few threads that I lost the chance to reply to due to said departure. James told me not to because someone called greg complained (I'd done the same thing on several previous occasions and no-one minded) and quite a few posts were deleted. I'll naturally reply to a few threads where discussion was halted by my, ahem, absence, but as it's a whole 7 days rather than months and months I somewhat doubt it'll be classed as digging. I won't bother with the threads where there've been hundreds of posts at a time I haven't read, as I never do.

Last time Rich was banned he was very apologetic afterwards, also.

Well obviously I apologise for, as Jack put it, "detrimental effects on forum atmosphere due to feuding". Obviously, there's plenty of people who dislike such things greatly and naturally I've said a fair few times that I'll do my best to put a stop to it. I shall, of course, continue to attempt such.

So Rich - were you wrong with what you posted?

Glad to have you back, I think.

 

[Jamee999]

I believe by a few threads you mean 17

 

[Richard]

Yeah, as I said - a few. By CW standards, naturally. Given there are as of this post 8628 (probably quite a few less when you consider spam\ad and unneccessary ones) I'd not think it'd be that many.

Would it?

 

[Jamee999]

Well, considering that as of present we have 5 topped threads, that'd leave 3 non-dug threads on the front page...

 

[Richard]

Given the number of people who use the new-posts function and the fact that 3, 4 or 5 days is hardly a "dig", I don't see that that's terribly important TBH.

There's been almost that many new threads started (some unneccessarily) in a day before now.

 

[Robertinho]

Richard only needs 332 posts to reach 50000, that'll be done in like a day and a half. He's replied to himself in consecutive posts more times than that.

 

[Richard]

Nah, I never reply to myself in consecutive posts.

 

[Bobisback]

Nah, I never reply to myself in consecutive posts.

Replying to yourself, that would be funny.

 

[Bobisback]

Replying to yourself, that would be funny.

Agreed.

 

[Richard]

Not really.

 

[NZTailender]

Jack McNamara you ain't.

 

[Richard]

Who ain't? Me or Dwyer?
