Hello,

richandzhaoyan PM me your address for a small prize!!

Andy · 7th April 2005, 11:23 PM

Wow that's a fair bit! The forum must take up a fair amount of database space now!

That means about 1.93% of the posts were mine

And Matt your on 16.23%

Andy

UH-Matt · 7th April 2005, 11:26 PM

Yes, I plan to slow down

ufoportal · 7th April 2005, 11:42 PM

Well done richandzhaoyan and everyone else.

ChrisEvans · 7th April 2005, 11:52 PM

Oooh - what is richandzhaoyan going to get?

UH-Matt · 7th April 2005, 11:57 PM

Well I did just find some more UH polo shirts haha! It wont be one of those!

(these are the ones where the makers embroidered the wrong web address - unitedhostings.co.uk!)

Andy · 7th April 2005, 11:59 PM

Something alcoholic maybe as we all know rich likes a drink or two!

Excellent news. I do think we should all get a prize though - as surely our posts have enabled this 30,000th post to take place. Without one of my posts, this 30,000th would have only been 29,999th.

Seriously though - this forum does what UnitedHosting.co.uk does - provides a great, efficient service in a friendly way. Long may it continue!

Me! It's quite possible one has been sent, though (my post has a habit of not turning up, sob).

I say I should get a free ipod

I never realised I posted here so much... I really don't want to add up my total forum posts online over the years across sites - I reckon it'll be well over 20000 by now. How I get fresh air I don't know.

L Plates · 8th April 2005, 12:24 AM

I think there should be yearly awards for things like:

Posting most confusing that it was likely to be done under the influence of drink (Matt an Simon not included)

Spotter of the year (ok probably the most helpful person but has a fun element as the suggested title)

Funiest posting (could be a joke or just a posting that is so badly worded that it reads funny)

maybe a few suggestions for possible awards but you catch my drift

gossi · 8th April 2005, 12:27 AM

I'd get the drunk title! I'd like to thank my mum, dad, producer, manager...

Wish I had thought of a slightly more sensible title now!

Well done richandzhaoyan and everyone else.

ufoportal:- Cheers, glad to have you back under a different handle, you have contributed a lot to this forum.

Whatever gave you that impression Andy? - Ok, another bottle of wine has had its day tonight but, honestly, after 8 hours at the office stone cold sober, I got less done than in a couple of hours (with alot of help on this forum) and a bottle of wine, tonight!

Gossi - What exactly is it that you do apart from post on forums? At the risk of upsetting a few other posters, you do seem to be one of the most educated guys around here but..... elusive. Your profile doesn't give alot away and until reading your recent posts I didnt realise that you are not actually using UH at present for hosting. Still, I for one am glad your around - your posts are educating and entertaining, hopefully you will see the light and come back soon!

Finally, Andy, regardless of the jibe (however accurate it may be),

Quote:

I haven't (got the polo shirt)

If you dont get one now, I will forward mine on. Your posts tonight on the php, mysql, etc forum to Pipers thread are exactly what make this forum so good. When users go out of their way to actually look things up on other users behalf that is above and beyond the call of duty, and very much apprecited.

I may be just off the list of top posters, but, I appreciate that most of my posts have been questions. Many, many thanks to all of you who have posted, you have certainly increased my knowledge (despite the grog - Andy!).

Cheers,
Rich

And I'll sport one all of over Canada.

Didn't think I'd make the top poster's list. Luckily UH only looks at quantity and not quality...
