In reply to Nick Smith:

I've got to say, I think this top 40 idea is a bit lame and ill-considered.

IMHO, it just encourages people to post rubbish, purely to get another 'notch on the stick' and vie for the #1 position etc. There are already more than enough crap posts on here, (eg, "pithy" one-liners such as "nice one", or "I agree") and I think this only serves to exacerbate the situation.

Was it Alan James who suggested folk going to IRC or ICQ to conduct these more personal chats? I think he has a fair point.

Sorry about the moan, but I feel quite strongly about this one.

Cheers

Rubbish.

In reply to Nick Smith: well, for the first week since we've been doing the top 40, Al Evans has been knocked off the top spot! jct forges ahead to 1st place by quite a margin, and where has Kate gone? Has she abandoned us for a certain other message forum?

Cheers

In reply to Jonathan: nice one jonathan. i agree

In reply to Fraser: Sorry to say this Fraser, but Arse. Do you really think people are that bothered about where they are in the Top 40? We are all pretty mindless, bujt not that mindless

In reply to Chris Fryer:

Two suggestions for these boards:

1. To everybody: Think twice before you start a new thread. See first if there isn't an existing thread on the theme you want to discuss. New threads push existing ones out of sight.

2. To Alan : Start a new folder/board for chat. It will only be a click away, like the gear board, so nobody should mind. They do this on the guardianunlimited boards and I think it works well. The chat threads flourish, usually under the name of a pub, bothy, or bar on the Copacobana and they each get axed if noone post on them after a couple of days, rather than the couple of weeks or more grace given to threads elsewhere. They also don't clog up the rest of the board.

cheers
Mike

In reply to mbh: good ideas mbh. i also think it might be an idea to limit how many new threads people are allowed to start a week to avoid repeats of "Justin's Jolly Jaunt on Rocktalk" where he got stoned, came in here and started 20 threads in a day under various names but all with the same internet connection. Three threads a week per person would be adequate. I only need one because most of mine are so popular anyway. How about that for an idea? A separate board for chat's no good though. People do talk lightheartedly even in the most serious threads. What is chat anyway? How do you define it? I think the climbing media system works well, where people choose a symbol to define the nature of the thread. And how many of them are chat threads? about 90%


i am embarrased to be top of the rocktastic pops. it means im not doing enough paid work.

In reply to jude calvert-toulmin: Congratulations Jude!!

In reply to Al Evans: very funny.

In reply to Nick Smith:

I was trying to find the Dogs fred but it was so far back i couldn't find it and who'd have noticed what i was saying anyway. I didn't want to start a new thread to make my point so here we go =

Would the Tw@ with the dog at Froggatt please leave it at home, as it does state quite clearly.

In reply to willyb:

If you're looking for a thread and can't find it then simply go to the super soaraway datastic "Search Messages" tab on the LH menu (in UKClimbing, at least; or just the "Search Messages" link at the top of the page on Rocktalk). There you can enter "Dogs" in the text to search - maybe "Dogs Froggatt" to be precise.

That'll find the thread, you can put your comment at the end and bingo, it'll be back at the top of the listings of active threads.

In reply to Charles Arthur, UKC editor:
bad luck for Martin P, who seems to have been most prolifc thread starter (and some good ones Martin) but hasn't made it to the top 10 posters
SteveP

In reply to Charles Arthur, UKC editor:I was looking for some threads at the weekend and realized that if you know someone in the top 40 posted on it go to their name, click on It and all the things they have contributed to will come up.

In reply to Chris Fryer:

Sad to say, but i think certain parties in here do. As I said, it was only my opinion but have spoken to plenty of others who agree.



In reply to Jonathan:

That was a very insightful, thought-provoking, cogent argument displayed there. Congratulations.


Fraser

In reply to Fraser: I'm glad it helped. I've often thought that the short, straight to the point answers are often the best.

Whatever happened to 'Kate'?

She used to be up there with Jude and Al Evans.

I hope she didn't die at Caley, trying to lead 'Boot Crack'

Or maybe she was too traumatised by my cat story.

Come back Kate, and tell us about your woes.

In reply to Vdiff Dave: she's sulking.

f*&k i really did not want to be number 1. b*&locks.

In reply to jude calvert-toulmin:

you'll have to stop posting so many messages jude...

i know its hard, but try to limit yourself :-P

In reply to Sharkey Boy: i like seeing myself in print. every time i see my name on the screen i think im a proper published author. oh. i am arent i?

well i always do everything to extremes, maybe thats the reason.

In reply to jude calvert-toulmin:

i also do things to extremes, and i have to agree with you, its really great seeing your name printed on the screen - makes you feel all happy inside

In reply to Nick Smith:

phew.

that's because i've been having so much fun, you know, coming off a race track into the gravel pit at a hundred and twenty in a TVR Tuscan, cacking my pants taking corners at a tonne in a Caterham, (only as a passenger i might add) jumping in and out of other rather juicy sports cars and lunching all over Derbyshire, that sort of thing. sigh

In reply to Nick Smith:

Oh no, Jude was right, I am spending too much time in front of the computer......

I'll have to cool it off.

In reply to Nick Smith: How can this possibly be true? I've been asleep all week. Is there a conspiracy here???

Tim

In reply to Tim the Grey: ah but Tim, whilst you are missing bumping into her in Arran, Jo has now got an inbox bursting with other invitations

In reply to jude calvert-toulmin: Left Clutching the Bronze again. I think there should be seperate categories for the birds and the blokes. After all women are more naturally predisposed to talking

In reply to Chris Fryer:

Cunning - un-registering. That'll keep you off the list!

In reply to Chris Fryer: chris baby. you are kidding! look at the unadulterated joy me jo and the lads had on brian Ts movie thread today! and look at the way that New Kate is spunkily sticking up for herself on the End Of The Affair thread!

without women the world would be dull, dull, dull. and without men too!

In reply to jude calvert-toulmin: I am not compaining about the women being here, I am just saying there should be top 40 womens posters and top 40 mens posters. It would be a bit unfair having men and women complete in athletics, as men are (generally) better than women. Women are better at gabbing, that all.

In reply to SDRH: My usual PC was on the blink, so I had to use my laptop for a while. Honest!

In reply to Chris Fryer:

Also bare in mind there are alot more male psoters than women, but from what i can gather you'd only need a top 20 for the lady's.

In reply to WillyB:
being in the top 40 should be regarded as a Warning, in the top 10 as a Written Warning, and in the Top 10 as a Final Warning!

:@}

In reply to Michaelw: couldnt agree more MichaelW. i just want to crawl under a stone every time im in the top 10 - it makes me feel like a sad loser wasting my life away and *not even getting paid for it* like so many of you in here are doing!

In reply to jude calvert-toulmin:

Hey I may be sad git sitting here prattling around with work whilst posting almost continuously but i'm happy.......I like you lot (mostly) and so there!!!!!!

childish tantrum coming on here!

In reply to Nick Smith:

Do you think you do make a rolling graph of how the number of postings has evolved while you've been keeping records? I think it might be interesting to see where in the week/day it would peak, and if it was affected by the weather.

In reply to jo: im happy too and have made some great real life and email friends through rocktalk - that birthday thread yesterday and all the emails i got off rocktalk people to say happy birthday really cheered me up and made me feel all warm and cosy inside!

but i do feel i am addicted to rocktalk and any kind of addiction makes me uncomfortable with myself, that's all.

i guess it has a very positive function though. if you are stuck at work/home whatever feeling bored, lonely and stale, by going on rocktalk you can instantly jump into a social pool and feel refreshed and invigorated, which can only be a good thing.

In reply to jude calvert-toulmin:

sort of like a coca cola really

In reply to jo: exactly jo. since times were hard i stopped filling my bath with champers and often jump into a cool refreshing tub of pepsi max you have to make sure the dogs arent waiting for you to jump out though........

Mick

In reply to Mick:

Got any calenders left?

Giz one, go on giz one,,please,please,please.

In reply to andy flint:

That Liz girl hasn't delivered yet.

Mick

In reply to andy flint:

Which ones did you want, the 2001, or the 2002? Men's or Women's? I got so many I don't know what to do with them.

In reply to Mick:

Clearly my browser doesn't refresh quick enough!

May I also remind you that you didn't ORDER any, so how was I supposed to know to deliver?

I will send a couple as Christmas presents to your office. Only 'cause you paved the way for me as Shameless Promoter.

Address?

In reply to Mick:

Errmmm, yes, well, I`m sure she will eventually!?

I`m touched that you feel you can reveal such personal details to me, but I really only wanted a calender!!

In reply to Liz:

2002, the one with the women.

Btw, are they free?

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes!

all this training paying off!

In reply to Jo: LOL! I was awaiting the top 40 with trepidation, I thoughtI'd never get away with gettingin to THREE arguments, plus allthe usual nattering. But stonemaster saved me! Big hugs to you,stonemaster!

In reply to Nick Smith: hur hur hur still posting, no lurking, but managing to skate a fine line keeping out of the top 40. big cheesy one

In reply to Jo: I like to think (self-delusion?) that The Top 40 is a bit like the music Top 40 - i.e. the top ten and number one are filled with music-lite muzak for the teenie masses, whereas the lower reaches (e.g. no. 35) are sprinkled with real music from 'quality', innovative, stimulating and intellectually-serious mavericks ?

WWell, I LIKE to think it anyway !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In reply to Marc C:

Well, and I am speaking only for myself here, but I like to think (self delusion?) that my posts ARE " music-lite muzak for the teenie masses".....god help me the day I say something serious! I pride myself on the fact that since i have been lurking and posting (some years now) that I have resisted the temptation (its been hard) to answer or post ANY serious threads at all! By god man! what do you think this is..a climbng site?

In reply to jude calvert-toulmin: Not in the top twenty for three weeks Jude, thought you had gone on holiday to Bermuda again.

In reply to sutty: very funny actually i was wondering where you were too, that's one reason ive been posting less, cause you've not been around to antagonise Bermuda, that's where la Birchill went wasn't it not quite as loaded as her sutty, we havent had a holiday for 13 years, as im always banging on about!

In reply to Marc C: lol. bang on mate being number one on rocktalk on several occasions was almost depressing, it just made me realise how much i was tossing it off instead of getting stuff done. im much happier being more self-disciplined with my spare time and in 3 weeks of hardly being on rocktalk ive re-decorated two of the childrens' rooms and completely metamorphosised our bedroom into something vaguely reminiscent of some of the sets last night on Steve Coogan's Dr Terrible's House of Horrible (the sumptuous bits anyway

adam lincoln was number one on rocktalk once wasn't he? now he IS a teeny idol, believe me, phwoar!!!

In reply to Marc C:

and OI! I managed to hold down a full time job, look after my three kids and partner and dog, keep the house clean and tidy, go climbing lots and have a social life and STILL manage to be number one poster! Its all about time management ...and being used to working long hours for years.

In reply to Jo: You'll have to give me lessons! Everytime I get into a row on rocktalk my house turns into a sort of swamp of unhoovered floors and dirty dishes......

In reply to gingerkate:

Ah but Kate, you have a wee one at home and that cuts down your time available anyhow, I have all three at school so when i clean up in the morning it stays like that till 4pm at least! And unwashed dishes! Jeez! Don't worry about them! If you're having fun or involved in something then sod em, they can be done later!

In reply to Nick Smith: Aaaaaaarrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh! James has got into the top ten, The family shame!!!!!! However this is a bit offset by the fact that Jude is in there too. Ha Ha Ha! Its a bit worrying that I'm only in 14th place. Acually if me and James and Nicky could fill the top three places, Oh , the kudos !!!

In reply to Al Evans:

youre not getting out enough are you

In reply to Nick Smith: Oh no! How has this happened, I've been out of the top ten for weeks, the addiction must be creeping back up on me, either that or work demands are slowing down and I'm getting bored!

In reply to Nick Smith: I can't have had enough work to do this week!!

In reply to Nick Smith:

Graded lists of one sort or another must be a great idea cause everyone does them, climbers, the goverment etc. (sarcastic) Got me thinking though - league tables for schools were originally flawed because they went on exam results not value added.

Strikes me that a better list for rockfax would be value added contributions for each thread i.e expose the many who write the most crap.

In reply to Nick Smith:
Well I never, the old gits have been sat on the bench outside the pub all week gabbing away to get the garrullous and most loquatious persons of the week.
The alcoholics just can't stand the pace.

In reply to Nick Smith:

So, is there going to be an end of year summary? Is there a prize for Windbag of the Year? Maybe there should be special mentions for Longest Post, Most Ridiculous Non Sequitur, Most Crushing Repost(e), Most Surreal Flight of Fantasy by a Manchester-Based Sociologist and (perhaps the most competitive category) Most Shameless Self-Publicist?

In reply to Dave Garnett: Oy Garnett! You trying to say something? You and me, bottom of Oxwich Quarry, NOW.

In reply to Al Evans:

Al, Al, I cast no aspersions in any particular direction. I await the results with hushed anticipation. Ideally they should be announced in reverse order. Who shall we get to open the golden envelope whilst vainly struggling to avoid falling out of their strapless dress?

In reply to Dave Garnett: Well who would we? but who would give Jude her own prize?

In reply to Al Evans:

How about Sutty?

In reply to Horse: But will we get a strapless dress to fit him?

In reply to Al Evans: Laughing out loud, my wife said shut up.
Still got my deckchair canvas that I wear in carnivals,..................doh, its too small for me now.
