Donut 10-15-2001 11:21 AM

When people created threads just to celebrate that they had reached a certain number of posts (1000 for example) and then loads of people posted things like 'congratulations' and Sazerac posted fireworks (even though he's a moderator) Then Ziroc put his foot down and stopped all that rubbish because that was just spamming and stuff.

I'm glad that don't happen anymore because that was just rubbish.

We ARE waxing nostalgic around Ironworks lately, aren't we? Ah well, it's a good trend. I just hope it doesn't mean we're getting OLD (shudder).

I can just see us all...sitting in rocking chairs and wheelchairs with shawls over our knees on a porch of a building with a sign that reads "Home for Dessicated Ironworks Spammers." http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/noncgi/smiles/485.gif

And whacking each other with our canes. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/hihi.gif

Cheers,

Good job getting 1000 posts Donut.

Epona 10-15-2001 11:27 AM

Of course no-one EVER celebrated getting 1600. That would be just silly.

Plese let me the first and second (I've put on weight) to congratulate you for having 1600 posts. Its evident that you have not bought a TV, VCR, or DVD player as of yet.

I agree with you completely. Thank God we don't have posts like that anymore.
Ziroc did a good job at eradicating that evil completely, and luckily you've given us a reminder of how things were back then with all that http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/spam1.gif.

Well Nostradonut - ahemmmm. Arsenal 2 - Panathanaikos 1 - the double dougnut seven from MI5 has failed his prescience check, and is formally deemed to NOT be the Kwisatz Haderach. At least you did predict that the right team would win though. Hope you enjoyed the game http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif.

I enjoyed the game but i've decided that fingernails are much overrated so I won't bother next time.

Next game is next Wednesday agains Real Mallorca of Spain. Nostradonut predicts a 2-0 victory to the mighty Red Machine.

Manchester United (spits!) are on TV tonight but I can't watch it because I have to wash my hair. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Donut, I truly understand how you feel but I know that big Z put is foot down for very good reasons. People were spaming here and there just to point out that they had reached 1000 posts. What is it with this anyway. So what, you don't see me going around advertizing that I just reached 1000 posts. No, you don't. Well, maybe if I was like Saz and approaching the 5,000 mark I would. But definatly not by just reaching 1,000. It's just too low.

But but Ziroc, I swear, I wasn't bringing attention to the fact that I just reached 1000. No, please, listen. Fine, fine, I'll just stay home all night and pet my 2 cats http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif
