I've had a similar situation too. Rob-lo-mas 52 is how I see it.

I see what you're saying... By the way, what DOES the friend function do?

And I read the name Ro Blo Mas in the voice of a Judoon...

I read Roblomas as Yo-Yo Ma.

I have absolutely no idea. Seems quite pointess

I tried it. It just keeps a nice list of them and does nothing of note. But I only tested it for one day. After multiple days, it might do something.

From the User Control Panel:

Friends enable you quick access to members you communicate with frequently. If the template has relevant support any posts made by a friend may be highlighted.

So yeah, not very useful on this forum.

I have just reread pages 5 and 6 of this thread, where poeople are discussing post counts, and it is SHOCKING how quickly some people's post counts have rocketed in the past 18 months. Can't be long til I hit 10,000 then.

RonDenisDeletraz · Post by **RonDenisDeletraz** » 21 Sep 2013, 11:22

Wow, at one stage 61% of my posts were from the word association thread. That is slightly terrifying

Nothing happened when Wizzie got to that target. And Stamala is the next to get to that post count...

It has just been Freshers' Week, and there is something I have been working on that I have since decided would be a cool 10,000th post. But it requires more work yet (another week with nothing else on), so let's see if it happens or not!

How did Wizzie get to 10000 posts so quickly?

My sources state that some random farce happened 10 years before Wizzie got 10,049 posts. But unfortunately, they don't know. Where's Homer?

Alright, from today I am going to turn my internet life around. That starts with me trying to make better contributions here. Becoming more interesting and knowledgeable will be worth it in the long run.

Yeah, quality has been slowly deteriorating for a while now. Especially in the Paul Stoddart forum

Gvozdenovic · Post by **Gvozdenovic** » 28 Sep 2013, 05:56

I think that there is absolutely no long running forum on internet that doesn't meet with "before was great, now is crap" feelings.

That is rarely valid criticism. It reminds me of people who rant about how F1 today is boring, and then hail something from the past like 1992 season.

I'm new here and maybe in this particular case, this is true, i don't know, but even if that being the case, it is something absolutely inevitable and normal. I'm still not done with reading majority of posts, and new ones seem just as funny, inteligent and educating as the old ones.

My Flying Hesketh avatar has never changed in any way.

This' avatar is also one that I don't think has been changed.

Not sure, but i've probably changed mine at least 20 times since joining the forum.

I've already changed mine at least 7 or 8 times :lol:

But I'll keep this one for a while, as I can't be bothered to change it, and it's too good, being the Toyota TF101 test prototype.

Dark77 wrote:Are there any users who've never changed avatar?

Mario has had the same avatar since May 2010 when I resized it for him, and IIRC he never had an avatar before then.

Me? If my calculations are correct, this is my eighth avatar overall... and the fourth during the past one year.

Post by **tommykl** » 01 Oct 2013, 11:56

This is my second avatar, after the Johnny Claes one. And This actually did have others. I distinctly remember a Pilette-driven BRM...

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 01 Oct 2013, 14:27

I do know that this current one was not my first. I remember having a platypus one early last year when all the new F1 noses were being compared to said animal, but before that, I have no recollection of what any of my own avatars were.

pi314159 · Post by **pi314159** » 01 Oct 2013, 17:16

Before my Connew avatar I had an Osella and a Coloni. But it always was a reject car.

tommykl wrote:This is my second avatar, after the Johnny Claes one. And This actually did have others. I distinctly remember a Pilette-driven BRM...

True, that was also the first one i had (before that, i just had no avatar), so obviously i'm not changing avatars a lot. I'm too grown-up for that.

Perhaps i might have used a few things in between those two, but i can't quite remember, i've been on so many forums in my life, and the ones i use here are less random than some of the stuff i once used.

Post by **Ataxia** » 01 Oct 2013, 22:20

I seem to remember my first avatar was the Tyrrell 025, and then when I started coming here more frequently I ditched that for a Dome F105. I've been through quite a few, including Takagi's suggestive move on Badoer in 1999, Jan Magnussen, Tom Dillmann, and since then I've stuck with Grosjean because I can't be arsed to change it now.

Maybe I'll have a new one in 2014...

Only 1 avatar so far, and I think wouldn't change for a foreseeable future
