    I'm a little bit bored on here for the last while so I thought I might just give up posting for lent. Thing is I really have no idea if I could last the full length?

    So I'll throw up a poll and you guys can post how long you think I might last.

    I will still log in.

    I will lurk.

    I will be starting from midnight tonight - show your support!

    Not possible. Nobody can resist posting for 40 days! Boards will call you and you'll need to give your opinion.

    I dont think I'd deny that I'm an attention whore!

    Anyway I dont want to be asked to stay (even if i did it wouldnt happen), all I want to do is try see if I can give up for a while. Posting this puts pressure on me to try. I'm an addict which is fairly obvious.

    I can make sure you don't post here for 40 days 6th, it's no problem, I'd be happy to oblige.

    The question is: do you really want to give up posting or are you just using this thread to see how many people have an opinion of you?

    Cryptorchidism

    The most common congenital anomaly of the scrotum and testicles is the apparent absence of one or both gonads. I use the word "apparent" because the missing testicle(s) usually are actually present inside the body cavity . The Greek kryptos means hidden, secret, or covered, and the Greek orchi- is a combining form referring to the testicles. The condition is therefore called cryptorchidism and the afflicted is called a cryptorchid. If one testicle is retained, he is a unilateral (one-sided) cryptorchid and if both, a bilateral cryptorchid. A word commonly applied to the former is monorchid but this is a misnomer, as monorchidism would mean the presence of only one testicle anywhere in the body, not just in the scrotum. True monorchids are quite rare, as are anorchids (males with no testicles), and either condition can be verified only be extensive surgery.

    6th, you do realise that this will also prevent you from reporting posts too, don't you?

    Reporting a post creates a thread in the reported post forum and counts as a post, because all us mods reply to it and take the piss out of the person who reported the post discuss the action that should be taken.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    Really don't care
    You see people asking to be banned now and then in Feedback and others tell them to just use their will power ... thats what I plan on trying.

    Gordon, banning me would take the challenge out of it and make it pointless.

    Ok, no reporting posts either then ..... damn you Terry :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    No backseat modding at all.

    I tried it. It's difficult. I ended up modding here after only a couple of weeks.

    two hours and this thread really kicks off:cool:

    Technically a pm is a type of post (albeit one that can only read by a certain amount of users) so that really shouldn't be allowed either.

    It would be quite funny if he was made mod over lent alright. Well, sitebanned first just to be sure :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    Technically changing your signature would be considered posting also.

    And with that, so would changing your avatar.

    He'll still be a member here, so if you do rip the piss out of him, then there will be no head for you on Friday night.
