A week ago, you complain the FOGs are getting cluttered. You impose restrictions and etc. I leave for a day, A DAY, to do some revising and I come back, what do I see?

15, yes, 15 new topics THAT DAY and a good majority of them have the word "clock" in them. Now, Grix tells me that you started this, and that people have to include nameless items in their post so they can win a FAD. Note: I will not include these items as that would leave me open to critisism.

Please, you are over 45, I hoped you would have more sense. You're only the owner of the world's largest discount games club, for God's sake.

Oh dear...

Things have gone a bit pear-shaped, haven't they!

Oh well... at least they're all in chat... and the topics aren't all the same...

It's all in fun...

I shall interupt my DVD watching for you.

I have no idea why, but perhaps it was an attempt to inject some life into the chat forum - I was discussing something the other night about Game related branded pencil cases - and how they would be successful, and they will be. I also mentioned that Special Reserve should sell lavalamps - maybe including a Lavalampaweek.co.uk competition, or maybe gadgetaweek.co.uk and then also said Special reserve should sell clocks. Game related clocks probably.

Either way,

Tony proposed a challenge, no new entries can be submitted for, for the topic which houses CLOCK in the title, with the four words in the opening message:

pencil case
clock
lava lamp
gadget

And so everyone went mad - the highest reply count (from users other than yourself) would win a prize.


Yes mad, but it's called risk taking and entrepreneurship. (spelled right of course).

I didn't nick your idea. I didn't even read it.

I suppose all great minds think alike :-D

It WOULD be a good idea though. Infact you could lay it out differently to normal forums.

At the top there would be a message giving the briefing for the filmaday task and another below it giving the briefing for the Gameaday task.

Problem solved. :-)

It would be a good idea.

Instead of having to search the forums for the latest task, just pop into the designated forum and get to work.

It would also mean that the whole lot doesn't have to be crammed into one topic.

I disagree, Dan, but maybe a listing of the current extra gads n fads would help.

Uncalled for. It's only a bit of fun. Leave it be.

Well, if he is the owner of the world's biggest discount games club, and if SR is the world's biggest discount games club, he owns SR.
