Not 100% sure but I think it was the Scots.

This proves that you need to check your sources. When I signed up in 2004, there were three auras to choose from - Light (Blue), Neutral (Green) and Dark (Red), as they had once upon a time represented the voting habits of each account - this feature was removed as people voted to get the aura they wanted.

In the 2007 redesign, two new auras were added. Fab was Pink and Dark was Black. However, because dark had until then been red, the red aura was now known as Evil

He had the right aura colours in mind, I'm sure, but just... the wrong labels. #;-}>

Neutral has never been removed! Check my aura, it still says neutral!

Nah, seriously... congrats in advance, dude. The way I catch up on LUL, you'll probably hit 70k before I post in here again.

Oh, and in case that's true... uh... I should mention some sort of achievement or some such:

(cough)

gfoxcook = 45th in exp after passing HAQnSPITT, Shrapnel, and CaptainBob in that order... Epic 48->45 rankchange! How's that?

I'm already settled for 30k blams and saves. I'll get 30k EXP next and then posts if I actually reach 30k but that's around 9,250 posts away and I have a rather slow pace these days. That could take me 7 years!

Technically I'm indigenous British, having Welsh and Irish in me. That gets on the nerves of the Pure Welsh that I speak to, especially when Rugby is concerned.

Maybe I'm thinking of someone else. My knowledge of ancient British history is shaky. Who were the ones were the Romans had to put up a wall?

Scots. Hadrian was the Roman governor of Britain and he stopped the barbarians from the north from disrupting the conquest of Britain by building a garden wall

Shortstop? Nah, I want a powerhouse like Alex the Great at first, or maybe even the outfield. He's got strength, so his throws probably aren't bad.

Now that I think about it, put him as catcher. No one will think about sending the runners home with him there.

Yeah, but I want him playing a full season. If you're going to be like that, let's have him pitch :P

No - I used it for one Clock Day (mass submission day, where most shite gets protected) and actually got less than the year before.

One thing's for sure. All of them spend an excessive amount of time on the computer.

I wouldn't call it excessive, just a constructive use of one's free time. I'm doing other stuff on there mostly, checking the portal is just an aside.

I've developed vision associated issues after looking at the screen for so long. You haven't?

Not really, no. I sit in front of a computer at work, so the dark screen is a welcome change from the white screen of MS Word / Excel, to be honest.

Good. Cause that would mean I would be excluded for... about half a year or so until I reach either 20k blams or 20k experience.

You'll need 20k posts as well to join us.

Yeah... If I'd keep this 10 posts a day pace I've been having for a while I might actually get there someday before 2014 =/

It's a real bummer I let my 5.50 posts per day drop to 2.25 once. I could've been very near 10,000 posts by now if I had stayed active on the BBS constantly.

Question is if the level system will still be the same by the time you reach the current exp requirement.

I sure hope so. The level system we have now is perfect.

Yeah I agree. I hope they'll just make the level 60 requirement scale up and leave the rest alone. At least until the point where we get a load of Level 59'ers, but even after two years there won't be that many yet.

He can go change to fab or something, cause we're still missing a fab regular.

Also: Screenshot FTW.

Man, I forgot to get a screenshot of the Wi/Ht? at the bottom. I figured it would stay there for awhile instead of hours.

You have no clue how many time I went to the CC instead of the Wi/Ht? when it was bumped down. :P

That is true.

I'll be sure to write up some suggestions in June ready for if and when the Midyear awards start.

Oh, are they going to still have mid-year awards? I thought they were going to not do them this year.

I'm a little too busy to make a congrats list today, so I'll just skip it for now if you guys don't mind.

Really? I'm not so sure about that. America was a place were religious dissidents and other political outcasts were forced to go because they would face trouble in their homelands but I'm not so sure prisoners would be the correct term.

It's true according to Wikipedia. Whether or not you trust what you read on Wikipedia is another matter.
