Was I promoted to Site Admin too quickly?

Yes. Also, I support Hitler.

About my new role

Post by Richard Brittain »

Well, a few people have noticed the new title next to my name and messaged me. Some have congratulated me, while others have questioned whether I was promoted to Admin too quickly. Obviously I disagree with that, but I thought I'd make a poll to get the general forum consensus.

Also, remember kids, this forum isn't a democracy, so both myself and my co-admin Mr. Reams fully intend to ignore the outcome of the poll.

Thanks and keep it civil.

Even without enlarging the image, you can tell there's quite bad anti-aliasing (or whatever it's called) behind the text and the font's the wrong size. Oh, and the spacing's wrong. And also, it wouldn't appear like that anyway. Other than that, good effort.

Why isn't there a "No but I nevertheless support Hitler" option, you fascist?

Richard Brittain's Cock? Must be wishful thinking on the part of whoever changed it from "Site Admin" to that!

I just changed it back, but I'm still Site Admin. Anyway, my new avatar depicts a scene from The Coriolanus tragedy. The Coriolan Overture by Beethoven is a wonderful piece.

I can think of a word beginning with "c" and ending with "t" that I think it should be . . . "Cult". After all the mentions of Gandiseeg, surely you're deserving of that status at least.

Hurrah - I like it best when you at start dissing each other. We had a flouncing off in July, (Rob): Will we have one in August? (and just how offensive is my punctuation in this thread?; I think I'm on the cusp of being an old person simply because I got taught punctuation at school. (Yep, I confess - I've been reading old threads.)).

Given that you quoted the post, I thought you might've spotted Derek's joke... Anyway RB isn't the sort to flounce off, he has a rather well-developed if sometimes obscure sense of humour.

Hey, Charlie, I didn't, actually. Not til I saw the thread in daylight when Derek's invisible writing (does he use lemon juice?) showed up.

I didn't really think RB would flounce off - I just genuinely enjoy the banter!
