    The admins play PM roulette every Friday night.

    They pick a userid at random and then post all of their PMs in the mod forum for everyone to look at.

    Of course they don't

    Thanks seamus.
    When the rumour hits the tenth person, it will be the first part of your comment which will have taken on legs.
    Cheers for that.

    15 years? Who would have thunk it.

    Wonder how many manhours have been wasted by people posting here?

    To celebrate, lets all get naked and run through the place randomly posting Happy Birthday messages in every thread on every forum, that'll be fun...... meh, I'm off to get pancakes instead.
