rankings - 500 posts

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 22 Jul 2004, 22:34

We have one rank missing. I just couldn't come up with a name for someone who had posted 500+ messages. It is a rank that I will achieve fairly soon at my current rate of posting. So what comes after portyobsessed?

My son suggests 'portyholic'.

My wife suggests 'mywifehasjustleftme'.

What is your suggestion?

portyperfervid

Oh, very scholarly! Had to admit I was reaching for the dictionary for that one. My latin teacher would be most disappointed in me.

portypotty?

OK, let's leave the thread open for another week for suggestions and then we'll have a vote on it. To maintain continuity you must have 'porty' in there somewhere.

So far the contenders are:

portyholic
innerporty
portyperfervid
portypotty

Any more?

Mr Magnolia says I must submit "Portista" for judgement.

I like PortyPro a lot though.

Looks like you'll have a new ranking problem soon Bob. What will we call someone who posts over a 1000 posts? Froglette suggestions please!

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 26 Oct 2004, 15:47

I can imagine. Problem is, we have run out of little squares to colour in. We could make them flash of course but I was jealously saving that privilege for the administrator. Or we could re-calibrate the rankings, so that you needed 1000 posts to become portypotty etc, but that might upset a lot of people.

Flash, re-calibrate or neither - the choice is yours! And if we do create a new ranking for 1000 posts, as Marya points out, we need a new name.

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 26 Oct 2004, 15:51

I think no new ranking for 1000 and not because Bob is going to beat me to it!

We should hold out for 1500 or 2000 and then have the final rank. No suggestion as to the name but we have some time to decide.

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 26 Oct 2004, 15:58

we have some time to decide.

At this rate only about 3 months ...and now that Porty's back from his hols maybe less!

You can see he's trying to out-flank me here, can't you? He knows that with his posting rate he's bound to beat me to 1500.

And now my problem is, what shall I choose for my history-making 1000th post?

How about 'Portyphile'

It will have to be something resounding with wisdom and sparkling with wit; an orchestration of oratory......but don't feel that the pressure is on in any way

Anyone nticed he's been very quiet all afternoon since realising what this means?
Isn't it peaceful?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 26 Oct 2004, 18:46

I have indeed been struck dumb. It's a time for reflection. Two years and 1000 posts. There must be a good one in there somewhere.

Can anyone find it?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 26 Oct 2004, 18:47

PS Congrats to Bellybabe on achieving portypotty status. You're duty-bound to start wearing that T-shirt in public now!

bellybabe · Post by **bellybabe** » 26 Oct 2004, 18:56

Oh *&^*%%^Ã‚Â£%&^*!
I've been trying to avoid that.
As for the t-shirt - what t-shirt? I have no idea what you're talking about. I think you must be mistaking me for someone else. <glances round shiftily>

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 26 Oct 2004, 18:57

Congrats Bob. You have just made "a clean, clean carpet".

I can't believe I fucked up the link on my 1000th post. It worked in preview. Anyway, it should of course have been this

On reflection though, the first link is actually much funnier.

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 26 Oct 2004, 19:21

Thought the first link was intended. Had me smiling at least!
Think my favourite was your rant about the un-Christian parishioners of St James' when the poor minister happened to complain that the Edinburgh Marathon parking restrictions would affect his Sunday service.
Do you think he'll still pay his BRA dues with a smile this year Bob?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 26 Oct 2004, 19:26

Funnily enough, I spoke to him just the other day about hiring the church hall. It was a bit of a rant though, wasn't it?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 26 Oct 2004, 19:34

Here's the link to that post.

bellybabe · Post by **bellybabe** » 26 Oct 2004, 23:35

Ohhh...I see.
Like Marya, I thought it was on purpose - that you were basically saying nobody would find any interesting posts by you!

Which of course I thought was absolute, utter nonsense. Of course. absolutely.

I sincerelly hope you are over 18 years of age, don't go upsetting Bob on his big day.

Jay · Post by **Jay** » 27 Oct 2004, 09:39

Many congratulations Bob!

I can't come up with anything at the moment, but I like Portyholic, Portyphile and Portista. Although I'm a bit confused about 'Portypotty'

And can't you add a few more squares?
