Right, GN'ers!

Every so often we get the school uniform/shoes/pumps/daps/onesies crap stuff coming up, usually during school holidays, so lets make it interesting! wink

Shall we have a competition for the most original thread from a troll newbie, with a prize of a virtual cupcake for the winner?

Perhaps some topics should not be considered for entry, as they have been done to death and I'm sure we are all heartily sick of them, but it might be interesting to see what "they" might come up with.

I think that school uniform, footwear and certain types of casual attire should be eliminated from this competition, but other suggestions are of course welcomed! grin

Sorry to break the no post about a thread or whatever the rule is, if I have blush

nina I have the habit of looking at the threads posted in the last hour, posters are usually known to me. If I venture to active or forums there are many unfamiliar (to me) posters.

BTW, if you are a relatively new poster who feels ignored please don't give up. We need new input. As someone said some of us have more time to post, that's why the forum seems flooded by certain names (possibly mine is one smile) I can post on four or five threads a day and get a response from one or none. I don't expect a direct response every time. If this happens to you don't feel ignored.

NTO
I didn't follow the thread to the end but in the section I posted on it was about whether jings who started the thread by challenging Cari to ban her had been reincarnated and was posting under a new name grin
It could however, have taken a completely different tack after that !

MEAN!!

NotTooOld Sat 15-Oct-16 21:55:50

I ean OK Cari thread, not post

NotTooOld Sat 15-Oct-16 21:46:32

Can I join in? I didn't get that OK Cari post but obviously I was in the minority. What were they all going on about?

Jalima Sat 15-Oct-16 21:41:56

How weird!!

Page 10 on mine states 1001 posts!

Not according to this...

Jalima Sat 15-Oct-16 21:29:38

Here's one!

Ok Cari (1001 Posts)

Jalima Sat 15-Oct-16 21:25:53

Oh, it did say 1001, and I was very surprised!

petra Sat 15-Oct-16 21:22:05

Irma we are all eyes now. Give us an idea or opinion that we can bounce around.

Ana Sat 15-Oct-16 21:00:01

Jalima you didn't, because the system won't accept any posts after 1000! You must have a faulty post-counter!

Ana Sat 15-Oct-16 20:58:14

That's true, most of us have killed several threads stone dead in our time.

Irma, you will get to know which threads are more harmonious than contentious and vice versa. Don't give up! smile

Jalima Sat 15-Oct-16 20:54:46

sorry, 1001st

Jalima Sat 15-Oct-16 20:54:31

although I was very excited the other day when I managed to get the 1001th post on TWO threads that were supposed to stop at 1000!
Made my week.

Jalima Sat 15-Oct-16 20:53:35

Only 4 Jud?
You're a novice grin

Judthepud2 Sat 15-Oct-16 20:50:30

Irma 2 weeks ago I checked the 'I'm on' section and found 4 posts that stopped with me. It probably just means that the thread has come to its natural conclusion. People do read your posts, even if they don't respond. I am always surprised if someone does respond directly to me grin

Suggest you try 'Soop's kitchen' if you want to get a response. soop always responds directly to everyone, bless her, as do some of the other regular Kitcheners.

Keep posting. It is good to hear everyone's thoughts.

Irma Sat 15-Oct-16 20:50:13

I didn't joint to cause disharmony, but to bounce ideas and opinions off others, definitely not to annoy people. I'm a friendly but lonely person and I think I may be better off staying that way smile

Jalima Sat 15-Oct-16 20:37:09

Irma don't get disheartened - as a thread killer you will have competition in me!
And sometimes I think 'Are my posts invisible?'
And sometimes I get a response (not always welcome).

aggie Sat 15-Oct-16 19:22:03

Maybe JG is bored too then smile

aggie Sat 15-Oct-16 19:21:18

oops blush

Ana Sat 15-Oct-16 19:17:05

jollyg does keep posting, aggie. Some of his/her posts are memorable.

aggie Sat 15-Oct-16 19:14:46

Jolly G keep posting , I find lots of different names , but some names recur as some posters have more time than others . some of us are confined to the house due to lack of mobility and relieve the loneliness and boredom on here

rosesarered Sat 15-Oct-16 19:14:41

Ah, you have to be in the know Ana grin
