I've tried asking her, but she says it'd feel awkward.  Can't imagine why.

You've tried asking her? As in you didn't succeed in actually asking her?

I'M SO AWKWARD.

Just noticed that we're within spitting distance of the 50,000th post on the forum! Amazing stuff.

I've got two to one on Balla.

I'll go with Mas as being post 50,000.

And the GNamer 50,000 post betting is as follows
masofdas is evens
balla at 2/1
zero at 7/2
stu at 4/1
andy 4/1
jay 5/1
jas 6/1
drunka 6/1
cappa 6/1
shanks 7/1
fronk 9/1
vido 10/1
axis 11/1
solve 12/1
duck 15/1
smurf 18/1
jimbob 20/1
anyone else 40/1

Gotta give you credit for that list, Mas: that's a pretty good selection of odds!

beemoh: 100000 to 1.

Has beemoh vocally fecked off?

There was a tweet, I think, where he said he was done with the place.

This is the first I've heard of it, was there any particular reason?

He said something about being "sick of that c*** Jaster" I think.

No, just said he was bored of it. Still speaks to most of us on twitter.

Aye, he just said he grew bored of here, which is sad to hear.

Yeah he said he was bored of the place and for some reason he unfollowed me right after and a few others like games asylum for no real reason on twitter.

So 1000/1 is sound odds.

That is a real shame.

That he does, I shall/do miss his little quips on the forum.

I don't know what I did to upset him then if he still tweets some of you.

I don't think he'd stop following folk for anything like that, it personally bugs me that when you stop following someone they automatically think they've done something wrong or you hate them.

Reason I bring it up is, I tweeted him haven't seen you about on GNamer for a while, were so lonely or something similar. Which he replied I'm bored of the place then a unfollow right after he replied pretty much.

Might just be quintessential.

Holy cow! 15/1? Challenge accepted.

...Well s**t. Hard not to take that somewhat personally, given that I'm one of the most prolific posters here, and not on Twitter.  I thought that we always got on, but who knows what dwells in the hearts of men.

That said, my GNew Year's Resolution does recognise that I haven't been as nice as I could have been last year.


EDIT: Okay, I've got another admin.'s approval to post this, which we've been discussing.  It's something I received from a forumite on here.

As for Axis and Beemoh, I believe they are still sour about "Newsgate/Salesgate".  I think we need to make GNamer a bit friendlier for more sorts of discussion.  Axis always liked to post new/Nintendo happenings up, and he feels like what he usually does isn't accepted.

I'm not sure how we can tackle this.  I really want them back, I believe the forum only feels "right" when all the regulars are present from time to time.  Any ideas?

What was "Newsgate/Salesgate"?

I imagine that it arose from this, and other forumites at the same time saying how there was too much news/sales and not enough general talk.

That is of course a very simplified version of events, and I'm sorry if I've misrepresented anyone in that.

HEY, THIS IS POST 50000!



I'm sad to say that the excitement I felt when I saw "49999 messages posted" whilst I was checking who was online is probably the most excited I'll be all week.

Somebody's collecting five times their stake now!

Good job everyone, helping the forum make it this far!  Well, everyone but PhoenixAsh and his non-posting ilk.

Nice work, Mr. Moyles! That gif of unbridled joy captures the situation perfectly. Here's to the next 50,000!
