DEFINITELY too long, **MekaLekaHiMekaHineyHo** , what would you like me to do about it? Any administrator can change it, just drop one of us a line.

I screwed up the quote tags so Gaudere beat me about the head and shoulders and told me I’m not allowed near any administrative functions anymore.

This is more intelligent conversation than you get on many websites I’ve visited. :rolleyes:

Obviously since this is a test, don’t read it.

I wonder what an admin does when he gets really mad… BOFH+SDMB=Trouble, methinks.

Hey, someone already did a thread on the mods and admins stealing all the postcounts from the Winter of Missedcontent for their own nefarious uses. Now I wonder if all this drama with posts and OPs randomly dissapearing is really a board malfunction, or if they are being secreted off to an undisclosed location to do bad things to them.

So if you took good, cynical posts from people, and added a big post count, what would you have? It’d be a Super Cecil! The admins are planning to replace the one they are meant to serve!

Neato, thanks, give me a ring if you need any help.

"And now that I have you all assembled here, I can finally reveal who the murderer is.

I finally knew this afternoon during vespers in the old church. While listening to the vicar read out the notices for the prayer meetings, suddenly all the pieces fall into place!

It had to be some one who had the motive, the opportunity and the devilish cunning to carry out such a hideous murder. And yet they were able to convince all around them that they were harmless and trustworthy.

The murderer is [spoiler] in this room, and it is --aaaaagh!". There was a ghastly wheezing sound and the famous detective slumped to the floor with a sickening thud, a burmese dagger sticking out of his back.

“Gosh!” said Nancy Drew, “looks like our adventures are just beginning.” [/spoiler].  
The friends looked at each other significantly as the police hammered at the door.
