Arr. Dai didn't manage to delete ALL of his posts, then?

I didn't think you could edit posts in a locked thread. Never tried, so I could be wrong, but Dai probably still has a lot of posts still floating around.

No controversy. He just wanted to take it all back. Said it was cathartic to delete everything. He wants to own and control all his web content now, via blog. I didn't totally get it at the time, but he wasn't mad or upset bout anything, I do know that.

But where is we jump the shark?

Usually, if you have to have the cheezy flash-back, you've jumped the shark somewhere.

Well, if I'm not mistaken, after he began deleting his posts, quoting him became a feat very few accomplished. I'm not sure if the admins gave him that title on their own or if he requested it. Either way, it's funny

That's about the it as far as I'm concerned. We still have our moments, though, like the Gymnast thread.

It's because since he removed nearly all of his posts, only those that were quoted in other people's posts remained (as well as those in locked threads). You can't very well edit someone else's posts now can you.


I think.

No, it's special. That and Phizilla's "occasionally useful" are unique to them. I have this fantasy of being "occasionally sarcastic," but I guess you've got to know Special People personally.

Naw, they gave me a title I requested back when I was using Zimphire.

And the Big D missed a bunch.

But, unlike most of us, you had a lot of posts.

I wouldn't mind "The Tummy Guy" as my personal title. They should just add a field for personal titles
