    Can we get congratulated on buying any veg or is it exclusive to turnips?


    What would your veg of choice be?

    I don't like turnips :(

    I was a punk in the 80s but that was mainly because I didn't have the clothing budget to be a mod, and the fact that I only was born in 1983 meant I had easy access to safety pins.

    Dunno, do they get paid maybe? It's a janitor's job essentially. Cleaning up other people's messes.

    It is real life though, like any other pastime.

    Boards isn't the Matrix!

    First they came for the socialists...

    When you're a mod it's like being part of a big family.

    And if you get killed in a fight with rockers it means there'll be a big turnip at your funeral.

    I don't think they even make a profit (so they tell us) so I don't know if that makes me sadder or not.

    It's like congratulating someone that went to a supermarket and bought a turnip.
    I mean why do people congratulate them? It's an Internet forum, not real life. It's not like they got engaged or having a baby or something. It's very very strange.
    It nice when you get a scooter. And they have nice clothes. :)

    They get congratulated for the same reason that, if a Mod comments on a topic, they get twice as many thanks as a regular poster. It's like little fish that swim beneath the sharks, clinging tight to the belly, basically kissing ass.

    All Devore has to do is fart in a thread and 850 thanks appear.

    :pac:

    So true. .you're a Mod on boards.ie, let's calm down and not pretend we are the head of a multinational organisation.

    There must be a team of lawyers working around the clock to deal with the legal challenges against Boards - or so the mods would have us believe

    You can say the same for having a kid.

    Why congratulate someone on giving birth. Its not exactly a difficult or rare thing to achieve. "There are millions of babies. WOW on having a baby. Get over it."

    The way I feel now about new babies is the way I feel about new mods. "Err, hope you manage to find some joy in it. Try not to let the stress eat you whole. Good luck."

    I'm inserting a poll. Anyone who votes "no" is banned. The question will be "will you be giving Brutal Deluxe 59 euro by the end of the day".
    You will be banned if you say yes and don't pay up.

    Have fun!
