    jules, I was giggling to myself coding that "Do you like my hat?" link in the press release.

    (It links it here http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2000/10/23/ )

    Almost everyone admitted to a period of "no fncking waaaay!?:eek:" but some were a bit more vocal in MSN, SMS and a few choice PMs. No names, no pack drill. A good few then joined the fray :)

    Dude I am often a lot more restrained and refined on boards compared to how I can be in person. :P

    and now this, all of a sudden you have all turned into corporate whores.
    Was sucking Daft.ie dick such a natural thing for you all that you just
    rolled over and took it up the ass from facebook ?

    Fúck you all you shower of greedy cock mongers, I have had enough abuse
    of all the small minded misogynistic bastards on this site, so much for your
    altruism or was that just another petty false promise to keep us all looking the wrong way while you did this.
    LOL

    That was fun. I wonder how many users were thinking 'thank God that fecker is gone' everytime a mod resigned?

    Copped it only because as posted (and deleted :D) I'd done similar in work before with a rigged argument. Some great performances though. The only shame was never knowing who was in on it, who wasn't but had twigged it and was playing along and who was really duped.

    Well played.

    It was mean of you not to let the ordinary mods in on it.

    Are you kidding?? It was them we were gunning for the most ... you should have seen some of the antics on the mod forum, particularly last week when I deliberately "freaked" at Terrys Facebook super-aids "cause" and then suddenly went "sorry, my misunderstanding, never mind" and then answered the "urk??" posts in a sort of "me? um.. nothing *whistles*" style.

    I do like that facebook style though, I think we'll keep it.
