I don't think anybody should feel defensive about being a big fan of this place, and thinking it's important, without having posted a lot (not that you guys were; I'm just saying, generally speaking...). I went for quite a long time with only about 100 posts or so, although I felt that TTLG was just as important then, while I wasn't posting much, as now.

And it is admittedly nice when that feeling gets reciprocated on occasion. TTLG used to send birthday greetings by email, and my first one I had only like maybe 75 posts, but I still felt genuinely touched even knowing it was boiler-plate. Sounds weird, maybe, but you guys can maybe sympathize.

It took me about 3000 posts before I got my first actual, respectable birthday thread, "respectable" being maybe 6 or 7 people posting in it. :sweat: :joke:

That would make this thread a success sortve....

Generally speaking its usually FM authors that get threads most other people either dont post enough to be known well or post a lot but arent popular enough to get one.

Makes sense if you think about it.

So That Birthday Thread counts in MY book don't worry about what they say :)

Thanks, Thelvyn, but if I really worried what people thought or said I'd have killed myself years ago! ;) Hope you had a fantastic day!

Did you get to drill the robot?

Kolya on 14/9/2008 at 16:11

Yeah, you know the drill: Catch the robot, drill out it's eyes and put a pair of light bulbs into it's sockets.
Then laugh like mad every time it says: "Sir, I can't see a thing!" "That's probably because you got the lights on, lil bot!"

Is that their post count next to the names?

Look everyone, Kolya made a funny.

I fuckin didn't get a birthday thread the past two years

post count: 3568 WHAT DOES IT TAKE

To be honest with you, birthday threads are dying off. We've all become black-hearted cynical bitter old men with no space for joy in our hearts unless it is in taking misanthropic pleasure from some tragedy.

Wow guys, I realise that I really post much, but come on...
