No! I use it to help find certain members' profiles, so I can get to posts easily!

So you are saying that brie is a good cheese - and as 'edaM' is 'Made' backwards - so they don't even know what order to things in to make it!

You could, you know, just read ALL the posts, or only the posts in the threads you find interesting, like ordinary people do on this forum...

No, it would involve too much work for not much reward.

I have absolutely no idea what that is supposed to mean.

Oh no, how will I ever cope?

As Neil said, it's all a bit of a childish and 90's thing, but if you find it useful to find specific threads amongst the 100's that are posted across numerous fora on here every day then fair enough.

I can't wait for tubeguru to clean up the Quizzes and Games section, resetting us to about 300 useful posts on the forum.

I could probably clear up most of this forum and bring us back to 1000 meaningful posts ...

I found this enjoyable forum full of silly quizzes and games and it keeps being interrupted by a bunch of people who like running around the Tube :wink:

Made it! Well predicted.

By the way, Tube Geek is coming up to 3000 shortly. Also, our next member will be our 400th.

And if we carry on hitting enough milestones we can probably get this thread up to 100 posts :)
