Wasn't an official competition. I just started a thread suggesting it and Tony gave me a GAD. Ahh, those were the days. This place has really gone downhill since then.

If you mean you draw cartoons of him in the secret forums, then yes. I'm sure he loves you :P
> 1. Who was the first ever regular on this board?
When the system was first introduced anyone who had signed up before the date it was implemented became a reguar. In it's first incarnation the caste system didn't involve a time limit; only a word count which led to lots and lots of spamming as people tried to become reguars as quickly as possible. I suggested a time limit to Tony and got an EGAD. Muchos chuffed was I :-)

It's gonna be someone who wrote the required amount of words before the 21 days was introduced. Loads of newbies just found long posts, replied quoting the whole message and adding about 1 line on the end. It'll be someone who did that.

Can't remember the name but I've seen someone around who's been here > 1000 days and is a newbie. Simon something I think.

I've been on for 874 days, but I only started frequently using this recently - I'm a little puzzled how I've been on for this long. Ah well. I was someone else before, and all I did was posted reviews. I won once.
Woo.
