This is an intentionally tricky competition. You have to create the best virtual newbie



1. Think of a user name and a tagline to go with it.

2. Delete the cookie for your normal sign up if you have selected "remember me". You can sign up your new name either by scrolling down the left side strip to REGISTER WITH US - DISCUSSIONS, or by signing up as a newbie as you make your first "reply" post.

3. Sign up as a new user, giving your proper name and address. You DON'T need to give your real e-mail address, as I think this has to be unique. But if you want an extra e-mail address you can always sign up for one at Freeola.

4. Come here and write a post under your new virtual newbie name. The post must display your virtual newbie's character and personality.

The winner will be the post which displays the most original character. This character may be adopted for the forums, so make him/her likeable and not horrible.

You can enter as many times as you like.

You can make several entries under the same virtual newbie name.

You can try to guess who are the real regulars behind the virtual newbies.

The competition will be judged at the end of September.

(it occurs to me that I could enter this myself)

it was a big mistake

Gronti there is one thing you don't understand, alot of whites died because they joined the army OF THEIR OWN FREE WILL, same with black people, but with the jews (also white so you should of really said christians) hitler blamed them for all the trouble in germany and made them suffer worst than you can imagine. It may not seem as bad now as it did then, but it is something that shouldn't be taken lightly. Alot and i mean alot of jews died under hitlers order and the amount of them to this day has still not recovered

This compo has gone out of hand badly. There is now spamming galore and jokes being made which are seriously not funny. Like the one RBS made, that was sick RBS, if i waere you i'd lay low for a while. Alot of jews died for something that Hitler believed, the jews were helpless, and killed in cold blood. This in mty mind is not funny one bit, and i hope that no one thinks it is.

I made a serious point, has it been ignored again? Perhaps people will pick it up when those who have been keeping up to date get back.

He admitted it did he not. Read further down. Nice guy, we had some fun arguments about Mind reading. I won. He wouldn't admit that though, and he only gave up because he couldn't be bothered. One more argument and I probably would have got bored anyway, so that's nice. It was a long time ago too. Uhh, that's not relevant read through my long post, do you think it's a good point?

9, 7 and 10 are often lucky numbers and they can be made from 361.
