Grand Prix Rejects

Currently 14th, 24 behind AdX and about the same ahead of Cynon, with a good cushion back to TMLW.

Bloody hell, I've only just seen that Dr Baker is now just 16 posts away from passing Phoenix!

Am I? And there I was, thinking it would be several months away yet and once we hit 7500 posts!

Meanwhile, Wizzie is steaming towards that magic 7500 post barrier

And bumping his post count up by referring to himself in third person.

Tch, if posts made prizes I'd only have won the F1 Rejects pencil troll...

After this post, I will be 8 posts behind Phoenix, then I will only be about 1500 or so behind my next target... Easy!

Now 87th.

Now the question is, can Dr Baker pass Phoenix before the forum shutdown in about 9 hours time?

I'm gonna try and reach 1500 posts before 2AM...

Well, this post means that I equal his total. All I have to do is post once more elsewhere and I will have done it. Now let's go and see if I do or not...

Well, you can get a nice bonus on me this weekend, as i will not be home at all.

With the old forum going down and a temp taking its place, Wizzie will lose his much coveted mega post count...

Which is where?

I just hope this forum returns in the future. It's been a great way for me to whittle away many an hour talking, arguing and laughing at every post. This is my final post until the temp forum is up or this one returns, whichever is sooner.

Good luck on getting the forum's working properly again Jamie and Enoch. See everyone soon

It's not live yet. Presumably when he wakes up, Jamie will check his email, see what I've written and give me Admin access to these boards. Once that happens, I will create a full backup and load it onto my own phpBB board on my web host, and it will be almost an identical copy of what we already have. Once that migration is complete, the forum will go live and link posted on the f1rejects.com homepage. Hopefully it should be on the go some time tomorrow.

With this post, I reach the 1500 mark, and thus I shall bid farewell to this forum, until it returns good as new. Goodbye all, see you either on the temporary forum tomorrow, or in a couple of days.

Well, I am not going to be around for the next 18 hours or more. Just glad to have got into second place here!

Wait, the forum's going down? BATHPLUG! That means I have to do Physics homework

Thank you everyone for the vote of confidence in my backup plan...

Well, you did admit to your server going down...

But thanks for putting the effort in - I seriously wouldn't have a clue knowing where to start. Hope to find out what happens when I return in 20 hours or so from now...

Now I might try to be the new post count leader on the temporary forum

I agree, it's far more in keeping with the rest of the site's theme and colours!

Forum is back! Yaaaaaaay!

We're back! Huzzah!

third. Also It seems it is now fixed. I haven't seen it be redirected yet *touches wood*.

Well,since this is back,let's see who's got the most posts on the temp forum while it lasted then...

First impressions (from reading 2 threads...): Loading a lot quicker and nothing else untoward as yet...

And I get a lot longer to procrastinate between exam revision sessions!

It feels like new and shiny. I like that!

OMG! I've just seen it.
Beautiful job!

Silly question, but what was the link to the temporary forum? Because I never found it.

It was on the main page of the Wiki, but has now been removed, for obvious reasons

I never found it either, and did not think to check the Wiki, which I rarely frequent...

If Jenoch want it they can have it, that's not even the complete version...

It looks like our top 25 is now top 30.

It also appears that each page of a thread now contains 40 posts, rather than the 30 previously. Bah, I liked it the old way

1.08% of total forum posts are by me. That makes me proud

You ain't even been around as long as a lot of us either.
