Management Bagpuss Posted September 20, 2007 Management Report Posted September 20, 2007 Hi guys I hope everyone enjoyed 'Talk Like A Pirate' day! I've changed the vocabulary back to normal now - If you notice anything I've missed, please post a reply in this thread. If you are a Premium Subscriber and your name was changed - either by me or by yourself - could you please change it back, if you wish. I changed quite a few usernames to pirate names. To try to keep it fair, I waited until someone said "I wish I could change my username to xxxxxx" or "I'd like a pirate name" and then changed them. Apologies if I missed anyone who requested it. I can't remember who had what name before, so in order for your name to be changed back, please either post in this thread (Pirate name now / username I was before -or would like now). The member ranks will have to remain for the time being, as Sal deals with these and I can't find a list of what they were before! Similarly, the smilies will have to remain for the time being. We hope to be back to some sort of normality by the weekend. Thanks for your patience and we hope you had fun! Arrrr! Quote
Brina Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 Thanks for that - it was great fun yesterday and shows what a brilliant board this. Quote
Georgie Jutland Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) It was a brilliant idea and it was great to have the chance to share in the fun of it all. There's something incredibly special about this board, and things like that just help to prove it even more. To the guys who were involved with the various changes, a big thank you. I'd send you a hug, but I can't at the mo (I added something to my signature yesterday and it translated the whole thing into pirate speak. I have to admit, I quite liked the idea of Max talking like a pirate, but I have changed it back now!) Edited September 20, 2007 by Rosa Quote
winniewoo Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 Much as I like Shippin' Suzie can I please go back to being winniewoo? I have no idea who I am. Quote

Anwen and Gemma - you are now back to normal. Whatever that is! Quote
Jamie Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 The Pirate fun was, er, fun! Could be I changed back to Jammers please? Quote

Mrs Clog Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 Aww, it's all over *sob*. Could I request to be 'Clog' once more? Quote
meeker Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 It was great fun, even from dry land! Quote
Mel858 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) OK, I was wondering why all the posts were weird and what all the pirate smilies were about. Makes sense now !!! Serves me right for not paying attention properly to the forum news! Edited September 20, 2007 by Mel858 Quote
skana4eva Posted September 21, 2007 Report Posted September 21, 2007 Loved my name but I was originally skana4eva Quote
Emmadilemma Posted September 21, 2007 Report Posted September 21, 2007 Oh, I missed all the pirate stuff because it was my sister's birthday. Quote
Sophie Posted September 21, 2007 Report Posted September 21, 2007 Thanks so much for piratefying the board, it was a great idea and must have involved a lot of thought and effort. It was a brilliantly zany idea and just shows why this board is the place to be! Quote
crazytiger45 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Posted September 22, 2007 I was quite sad when I realised it was all over It was a great idea and a lot of fun! Thanks to whoever came up with the idea Quote
Newtfish Posted September 24, 2007 Report Posted September 24, 2007 It took me ages to twig what was going on, and being a miserable old g*t I didn't really get into the spirit of it. I am slightly concerned that I now appear to be a wench - as far as I know, I haven't had a sex change Quote
Fandabidozi Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 I'm going to sound really annoying here, but would it be possible for me to get my capital F back? Please! Quote
Management Bagpuss Posted September 26, 2007 Author Management Report Posted September 26, 2007 I'm going to sound really annoying here, but would it be possible for me to get my capital F back? Please! Done. Sorry - my mistake - I did the same to Jamie too. I'd normally give people capital letters as standard because I think it looks neater, but I did so many that day that a few obviously slipped through. Some people actually request lower case letters at the start of their usernames. Quote
Fandabidozi Posted September 27, 2007 Report Posted September 27, 2007 Thanks! I think it looks neater too, it kind of annoyed me seeing it! Quote
Col Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 I just wondered if the member categories would go back to what they were before? This isn't a criticism or a demand for them to be changed back, I appreciate everyone is busy, I was just curious Quote
