I forgot one,


Because you like to see numbers ending in 5 or 0. 

Haha.  I think this one affects mostly just us staff members.  It's always nice topping somebody off when they're within 2 or 3 of a milestone, as well.


I have watched the collective effort of the members to push someone over top.

1. Extremely insightful.

2. Extremely funny.

3. Excellent continued opposition in a debate.

4. Person saves me time by typing up something or looking something up or gives me an answer or link I need. Saving time is always a TP for me.

5. An apology.

6. Because, what the hell, I'm in a good mood. Series clinching win nights especially.

7. To non Celtic fans for being non trolls.

This may sound strange, but sometimes I pay more attention to bloggers who have names and pictures that stick out. In the case of Redz, I hide under my bed a tremble when I see those clowns.

Haha.  In the moderator's forum (yes, we have a moderator's forum) we're discussing who would win in a fight, Captain Spaulding (Redz' avatar) or the clown from Stephen King's It.

Insight on this would be appreciated. ;)

Haha.  Well, I'm sorry to shatter the dreams of anybody who thought we say around a large mahogany table in a luxurious board room making the decisions of the day. 

I think the days of our membership thinking we're serious men talking about serious business are long gone.  All one needs to do is read most of our posts. ;)

Same here, nick.  It's getting phenomenal advanced reviews.  We actually have a thread on this somewhere, I think.
