I hadn't even noticed until just then - thanks and well done for everyone for reaching 50,000 posts - when I started this place off I never expected that to happen.



If some of the other forums I hang out on are anything to go by, 100k should take half the time....

does this mean you sending the top 4 posters a £100 prize each?

[Bubba]

If I had any money then I would

...maybe not seein as dave has lost the work connection

True, but there's still a steady signup of new folks, so all we need are a few more people in boring IT jobs and we're off...

Forums seem to go through "growth spurts" - first one was when we got about 200 users, the next might be 1000 users or something...

The sure sign of maturity is having a "GrandOldMan" of the forum.

Preferably a characterful and sarcastic borderline alcoholic from back in the day who's been everywhere and done everything.

UKClimbing has got Norrie Muir.
boldering.com has got Bob Van Belle.
rockclimbing has got John Gill (who might be a little too polite for the job)

Applications should be scrawled onto a whisky-sodden copy of the first Peak bouldering guide and hidden under the Grand Hotel boulder.

We've had visits from Mr Van Belle on here  - Blunk might fit the bill, but then again, he's probably too nice - come on Blunk, vent that bile

Does having an autographed copy of wankcrofts recent developments qualify you for the job and i've been everywhere and done nothing.
