Ive noticed alot of newbies posting alot recently, although they are trying to "control" the forums.

When you post your name comes up as the last person to make a message in that particular topic.

Ive seen a few people with their names the last person to reply in about 20 topics in a row.

Why do they do this? Are they extremely bored? Or are they "wannabies" that think if they post loads they will be respected by everyone. Which ever way, I think they are very sad people indeed.

They obviously all want to be regulars but you dont need to become one of these by spamming as some people call it. With time, I will some day be a regular.

But im not willing to come on here and spam just to get a purple name! Infact I quite like the dirty, browny, pooey colour Ive already got!

And before you start shouting "Hes a Newbie!!" Yes I am.... but im not a "Wannabie"!

Thanks BORRIS!

PS I won GAD for submitting cheats!! In ya face! :)

I'm won't mention any names (or keep posting here otherwise I will be accused again of spamming) because I don't want to incurr the wrath of said person(s).
