Title: 1,500 member watch!---- Found...setrasbusesrule
Post by: plyonsMC9 on July 24, 2007, 12:25:23 PM
Wow!  Thanks to all members for making this such a great, friendly place to share notes on our hobby.   What I have learned has been amazing - and has saved me lots of time & frustration - for sure.  Not to mention, lots of new friends.   ;D    Now, who will number 1,500 be?  I say we wave all membership fees for #1,500.   :D  :D  :D

Kind Regards, Phil

Phil,

My question is,

How come you aren't working, instead of playing on the board?????

Bad boy!

Now, Like she said:

HahaHa.  Funny.    ;D   :D   Dallas, where in the WORLD  did you find that shirt?  Or, maybe we don't want to know?   :D

OK, so I did have to get back to work.    And the person sending me back to work wouldn't have looked right in that shirt.   :-X

Best Regards, Phil

Cat I have absolutely no doubt about that! But I still can't help but be just a little nervous about him wearing something like that out in public around here too! This ain't quite Cali-phorn-ia, or Columbus, OH, or KEY WEST, FL this here is backwoods redneck territory, and one of them there rednecks might just grab Dallas up and take the shirt literally (in more ways than 1). I just don't wanna see him get "hurt", or worse. Maybe you should lock up all yer ah "o dang it what's the word I'm looking for here?" special clothing items from Dallas for his own safety. Yeah that's it for his safety! and the rest of us's piece of mind! LOL! See y'all soon!
;D  BK  ;D

OK, new member who is a setra fan is number 1500.  All I know so far.  The rest of this thread is gettin' out a hand.   :D 

Now Cat has jumped in and started mentioning Dallas wearing that shirt...  Oh No.   NOT to mention the thong thing.   :o  Thanks for the suggestions BK!!!   ;D   

Best Regards, Phil

OK Phil I know you got special inside info, but I just checked the members stats and it shows 1439 members! Also I am tickled to know that such a smart individual has joined our ranks! However when I tried to send him a PM it came back "as unable to find"! So what's up with that? Are y'all play'n some sorta cruel trick on me? Huh is this some sorta MCI, Prevost, Eagle, Neoplan, GM conspiracy thing? Huh? I think I see what y'all try'n to do too me! Y'all try'n to make me think I've lost my mind! 1st with the Dallas clothing issues, and now with a fake 1500th member who just happens to be an "imaginary Setra Fan"!  Well have I got news for Y'all! It ain't gonna work, ya can't lose what ya didn't have in the first place! LOL!
;D  BK  ;D

Nick,

I think the fix may be in on this one!

We may need independent confirmation.

The name is awfully suspicious!

Okay BK, where were you at 12:25:34 today...

Remember Mr BK, your under OATH, Sir.....LOL     ;D

You doubt the authenticity of a really honest user name(setrabusesrule)?? If one is that honest in their user name, I can't help but trust them. :D :D

If there are that many members, how come Dallas and BK have so many posts? ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D We know who holds the record, don't we. ;D

Would be nice if all the members were that active, maybe not after all, this board would crawl to a stop. Can't have that can we Dallas! Ooopps and BK. ;)

Here's the thing BK - on the main stats page, I show :

44053 Posts in 4592 Topics by 1500 Members. Latest Member:  setrasbusesrule 

NOW, it IS suspicous, with that name and all, plus we WERE at 1499 for several hours.  Someone of a playful mindset and a preference for Setra busses COULD have jumped in & got some free publicity.  Not sayin' they did, of course.  But it could have happened.  Also, NO posts from the Setra person.  Maybe less noticeable if the member's name was something innocent like : plyonsMC9sRULE. That could be more believeable.   :D

Kind Regards, Phil

Well the only part of it I find suspicious is that when I went to send them a PM welcoming them to the board, and complementing them or their obviously great taste! It came back as "not found" for recipient "setrabusesrule"!   That is why I am SUSPISCIOUS that y'all are up to a conspiracy! Also if I were behind it, why in the world would I RAT myself out ?!?!? So "setrabusesrule" I need you to come out, come out where ever you are and help defend a fellow Setra owner! They are jealous and just don't understand what you, Paul, Harry, Wayne & I already know! AND that is that SETRA'S RULE!
;D  BK  ;D

and to think, when I saw the name of the 1500th perosn, i thought it might be you BK, in disguise.

OK, I found the reason for the discrepancy in member counts.  In one location (main stats page) it counts all the unconfirmed members, and counts the moderators 2x depending on the # of groups they are in.  I need to delete a lot of unconfirmed members as we now have close to 50 dating back to December. 

The good news is we get to have another member # 1500 again.   :D  :D  :D

Now we can all practice what we will do if we go "incognito" and join as member # 1500.   ;D
