Danny was right

stop regurgitating old threads

But wouldn't this put Lardy [and Vilks] out of business?

Maybe the whole forum, but as i don't come on often any more, reading promising thread titles, and then reading stuff from 12 months ago, doesn't exactly encourage me.

Hoorah for vilks then...

There are silver linings in the most situations

Batty?

Yeah, I see what you mean. I suppose Lardy and Vilks need a good talking to, because this necromancy business has massively disrupted the flow of the forum.

Nobody knows if a thread is new, or old, especially if (as you say) they are a seldom visitor or poster to the forum.

I recall Dello saying he'd ban anyone who TB'd again. Maybe Topbottoming current threads isn't as bad a Necro-Bottoming (NBing) such as in this instant. Although, despite the massive bumping recently - re-reading a couple of old threads is fun and nostalgic (like Skully said) - especially "Merls" and other threads where some of the banter was pretty amusing. However, bumping a whole page from 2007, is nigh ridiculous and I think Vilks was just making a point at the absurdity of bringing up a story or topic which wasn't discussed for at least two years.

Maybe we'll all learn a valuable lesson that bringing up bones from the past is not a sensible nor ideal practice.

When I say bones, I mean, actual bones, you know that muscle and marrow is attached to. Not bones as in, what Danny gets over Helen Mirren. Before we start discussing that sh!t.

Well that might be at least interesting.

maybe he can squeeze one out.

Most hollow threat ever.

Aye. Dello was just waving his wanger about in a lame attempt to impress us.

In fairness, it is a very imposing tool.

Danny is almost always mostly right

almost - being the key word.


To be fair, I don't even know what Danny supposedly said. Apparently, Taipan heard Danny tell JKLever something - on the sly.




Not sure what word you use to describe this sort of interaction.

Also, for anyone who's interested (and to avoid disrupting the forum further) - I'll be over on this thread...
