We obviously need some new members to keep up the fast-paced wit and banter that we all love? Cosy as it is here I?m sure we?ll all be sick to death of each other soon.
We could advertise ? but that costs money and would probably require us to have those adverts hanging over the urinals and stuff to fund it which I'm sure we really don?t want.
It strikes me that if we all just introduced two active members and they introduced two and? well you get the idea. At the end of the week we?d have 2 x 2 x 2, um loads?
So can I suggest that if you are posting on another site or e-mail somebody that you think would fit in, you mention this one? Of course, you may feel that additional members would spoil our clique in which case I?m happy to continue to serve you all (although not clean the bogs every day).
We could have a reward scheme where introducing a new member earns +100 karma points and the first to 1,000 earns, um something if you like? Of course, we?d have to set everything to zero and sort out the cheaters and bribe-takers from behind the bar first? whistle:

It would help somewhat if the silent members would say something from time to time.
Surely there are enough subjects to find one to join in with ~ or start another of your own.
Why join and then say nowt?
I agree with recruiting being necessary but some of us belong only to one or two boards. Finding new members on other boards does give a chance of seeing if they are wreckers first but it is not without its problems ~ For example I do not expect to be a member of two boards for much longer and most boards will have you off their list before you can blink if you try recruitment on them. There are other methods of communication of course and perhaps we should explore these as well. confused1:

Ooooh a seance! That should be fun.
Maybe you should pay for advertising with novelty gifts and out-dated calendars.
Perhaps the site itself could have Viagra pop-ups as well?

And, of course, we are not entirely sure who is here already are we eveilgrin:

Why join and then say nowt?
Well let's all hold hands and think why ey? ::)

Dare I say - as a new member the 'banter' seems too 'in joke' and when you post a reply the in jokes carry on at the newbies expense, you don't know whats going on and some of it is not exactly encouraging.
I read posts, lots of obscure stuff going on I don't know about so can't really add anything.
I think main members really need to open up more and give newbies a break - in other words don't be such a bunch of smart arses (and I exclude wench from this - she holds her end up very well ;))!!!
-
rubschin: You gotta point there. So a big fat sorry to you and anyone else who feels that way.
'Tis true some of us have been at this for a while elsewhere but we have tried not to bring old habits with us.
Memo to staff "All are welcome and must be made to feel cloud9:"
The customers are the Pub.

I smote you, but fair comment. Some of us have ahistory. You will fit in nicely, but take nothing seriously!

Thanks Snoopy and Nick- appreciate it! even if you are a pair of bastards. ;D ;D ;D

I have actually applauded you......I expect one in return whistle:

Speak for yourself. whistle:
Ice-person does have a valid point, but it is hard to uncover all the historical humbug, the origins of which are in many cases lost to my memory.
I suggest just jumping in and accepting that the topics have little or no sense of direction.

Agreed! In this pub we mean no offence to anyone new or not, we mostly know each other and know how we will react generally.
It does us good to be reminded that there is a different viewpoint. Keep it up, if we get too cliquicky - remind us, and one day soon someone new will be pointing the finger at you too. tunble:

Icey, may I call you icey? You have an excellent point. Especially as you excluded me from it! angel1 I personally welcome another lady to the board and hope that you will become as prolific as some of the other layabouts in here. I need support!
Hag, I think you have to have posted 10 times before emoticons, links etc kick in. Hang on in there you will soon be able to emote like the rest of us!

When have you ever known a Barman to do anything else other than stand around pretending to clean glasses with a cloth and at the same time eyeing up all the posh totty that he intends hitting on next.

Possibly getting his hair cut, seriously it's that bad!
Think he got a new job that didn't allow him the pleasure, he's also probably married by now so pleasure will be rationed.
I'll track him down though, you mark my words, tommydickfingers could be dug up aswell...

It?s lovely to have you on board but surely you read the site rules when joining?
Rule 11b Subsection A
There will be no mention of ?marriage? on the premises.

Apologies for the 'M' word.
I just figured it's been over 2 years since I worked with the Affs, he'd been with his stuff for a few years prior. Is 5 years not the magic number for 'Nothing left to say or do love, shall we marry'.
Barwench, how long now...?

Five years. I got my ring a couple of years ago though. Mr Wench and I always do things the wrong way round.

Mozo, I don't think that the Barman really wants me to leave even though I sit in the corner nursing a half of mild for most of the day.
Have you got any mates who would like a pint? Not too rowdy though. noooo:
We obviously need some new members to keep up the fast-paced wit and banter that we all love? Cosy as it is here I?m sure we?ll all be sick to death of each other soon.
We could advertise ? but that costs money and would probably require us to have those adverts hanging over the urinals and stuff to fund it which I'm sure we really don?t want.
It strikes me that if we all just introduced two active members and they introduced two and? well you get the idea. At the end of the week we?d have 2 x 2 x 2, um loads?
So can I suggest that if you are posting on another site or e-mail somebody that you think would fit in, you mention this one? Of course, you may feel that additional members would spoil our clique in which case I?m happy to continue to serve you all (although not clean the bogs every day).
We could have a reward scheme where introducing a new member earns +100 karma points and the first to 1,000 earns, um something if you like? Of course, we?d have to set everything to zero and sort out the cheaters and bribe-takers from behind the bar first? whistle:

I?m not bothered ? half of your half of mild is always out of the drip tray anyway. whistle:
Some new members would be nice tho. rubschin:

What happened to Olga?
Not a victim of the Polonium suppository I hope?

On Holiday I believe (Sorry to have to break this to you DS but she's gone away with Pastis for some sun n fun)

Interesting to note that after a couple of months, there are a few people at the old place who have noticed some of you are missing.
It must be a good feeling to know you made such an impact on so many people. ;) sleep017

Aha, I wondered where you'd all gone - was it something I said?
Anyway, what's all this smite/applaud all about? Couldn't find a reference in the rules 'n stuff?
I think this could be quite a congenial haunt.

Welcome aboard ? it is traditional for me to offer you a Bishop?s Finger! cloud9:
I?m afraid membership here will mean that you can?t PM in the other place so we couldn?t really tell you about it. noooo:
The applaud smiting thing allows you to vote on fellow members ? a high negative count means you are highly thought of? whistle:

I thank you sir (I think?). Do I get to choose which particular Bishop? And what if I prefer some other denomination? I have to admit to being more than a little partial to Summer Lightning - and there's lots of that about at the moment.
Not sure whether I should take the "high negative count" bit seriously though confused:
Edit: I see that I don't have emoticons yet - something about a post count of 10 isn't it, but why are the quotes showing all different? Is that the same thing? Definitely confused:

Yes, you can?t post links or emoticons ?til you?ve made ten posts? Its to stop ?spammers? making one post with a link to their Viagra and Cialis shop.

Oh, and another question: What's the karma thing?
(I'll shut up and stop asking questions soon - promise)

I just smote him for being late. And one for you as well to keep you on a nice round number whistle:

People can applaud or smite you dependent on their feelings towards you. Applauding increases your karma by one and smiting decreases it ;)

Which would be a useful addition to ordinary e mails too! evil:

. . . . . and another question: Why is my IP address being shown on my posts? I seem to recall a furore in 'another place' when a little doohickey was added to a signature line which quoted IP addresses. Is there a reason, or will this also disappear on reaching the magic 10.
. . . . . and does anything 'really bad' happen if your karma goes too far negative? Like a ban or somesuch?
(I promise I'll stop asking stoopid questions soon, really!)

You can see your own IP address but nobody else can ? ?cept the admins and moderators. Likewise your e-mail address is shown only to you (if you have asked for it to be hidden) so you can presumably send a mail to yourself.
So far I?ve hit the record for the lowest karma but nothing has happened yet? ?cept the vet says I?ve got pneumonia or bronchitis. evil:

Your bloody anti-vulture paint hasn?t arrived yet though? cussing:

We have vulture here?!
Stands back in stunned silence
I know we've seen toads and badgers (dead) and other assorted stuff in the past in "other places", but vultures! That's pushing things a bit isn't it?

Relax! They are only attracted to exploding homebrew and averse to proper beer.
That keeps the regulars in line. Except for the ones that will play with fire - and look where THAT got him!

We could have a reward scheme where introducing a new member earns +100 karma points and the first to 1,000 earns, um something if you like? Of course, we?d have to set everything to zero and sort out the cheaters and bribe-takers from behind the bar first? whistle:
Right. I'm waiting thank you. whistle:
DEGSY is MY mate like, OK? Lerim in!
Oh and he's not an ex bbc member either.
-
Keep your fur on.
He's in OK
You'll have to speak to the Barman about the extra Karma Points. Only he and the Wench have access to that bit. I can get behind the curtain that says Private Management Only but only they have keys to the Executive toilets.
Well he would be if I could remember the bloody password to activate him.
WENCH! BOUNCER! Where are you when you're needed?
-
Keep your fur on.
It's in the bath. There was a complaint about it being brown this morning. ::)
A Bear like me has to do some serious digging you know.

Well if that was the case Barman would have 100 points from introducing me. redface:
So - are you sure?

Degsy hasn?t activated his account yet ? possibly he didn?t get the introductory e-mail because he uses AOL (it doesn?t accept e-mails from php generated web sites and this one uses php).
I will manually activate the account but the rules clearly state (somewhere) that if an account is manually activated by the barman the introducer of said new person with manually activated account relinquishes all rights to the aforementioned bonus karma points, etc. and so on quite pointlessly actually? point:
