It is Saturday night and I have no where to go tonight and I reading the posts and thinking when I first joined the collectors talk how many people from then are still going and who do we not hear from anymore I can remember some of the obvious ones but I am sure Macca you will know more so i will start a list and if you are still out there shout.

Lampie
Rushie
Maggpie
Pedge
Luke
Gotogem
Menacing Girl
Sheppo
Alexanda lemming

I'm sure some of you can add to this list and some may even have re registered in a different name on this forum, come on lets hear from you.

i used 2 be on here, but i rarely ever spoke, iam sure my user name was rodger the dodger related or used 'jack' in there somewhere, can u remember macca?

[Macca]

Um, i'm not too sure, i think there were a few before our time Poppy, i joined the last forum not long before you i think. A load disappeared around the same time you joined i think poppy (joking)

There was Cloysterpete and Emma, and i think Anne Limerick, Funster?


Pedge is still around been on here a few times albeight not as much as he used to be... :(

Um,

Magpie sold up for financial reasons, i think the same for menacing girl... and sheppo?

Cinta would remember more, since she's been around from when it all began.....

[Pedge]

*SHOUTING*

[POPPY]

Dodger Fan did you used to be Jackalfie I'm sure there was somebody called that on the old forum?

Good to see you shouting Pedge do you still collect or have you sold up?

Now you say Macca I think Magpie went to America and Funster sold most pieces because the had a small baby.

The other thong I forgot to ask you Macca how do you get the peice along the bottom line of everyone of your posts I can't do that.

I remember Lampei and a few of those, also does anyone remember an R. Kipling?

I remember a Phil Collins as well, but only because i bought my plaque off him... or should i say my dad did :D

[Macca]

Under your profile add a signature

Phil Collins was on here?????? does R Kipling make exceedingly good cakes?

and i think there was a simon ward?

and wasn't Lampei the guy with the web link to all his pieces

oh and smiffy

Yeh I'm still collecting although only pieces I need to like Xmas, Limited Editions and retired/retiring pieces due to a distinct lack of money at the moment... have got me Xmas piece reserved, still to get the new front cover yet.. but I'm sure I'll get there eventually.. haven't been able to reserve a Music Box although it looks mint!

[POPPY]

Pedge try collectables ltd they have helped me out in the past.

[Pedge]

[Cinta]

Macca, you are making me feel old :(

[Macca]

sorry, its just that you're the queen bee on the forums :cool:

[Dandie]

Never thought to mention before but I am Sheppo but when this new site started I could not get on so changed to Dandie after my son Dan . What is the origin of your names for the more unusual that is ????????

[POPPY]

My name originally on the old forum was going to be Tommo but when I registered I was never sent a password so had to do it again but needed something I could remember so used the dogs name Poppy and transfered it over to the new forum I have also managed to get the name Tommo on this forum as well but can never remember the password so don't use it.



:p

While we are on the subject of the old forum. Macca done us a opion poll to vote for our best piece we done it on a knock out basis until we had a winner. I can't even remember who won .
There is somewhere a thing on this forum where you can put 7 options in it and then vote for which ever Macca what I am getting at can't we do a draw and vote for our favorite pieces in groups of seven with the best 2 from each group to go through to the next round until it is whittled down to the final seven. You could set up enough to do all the pieces together in the first round let people vote for a week then the same again for the next round etc.

[POPPY]

Just found out how to do shall we have another opnion poll to find our favorite piece or not? let me know and I will sort it if you want.

[Macca]

Fine i'll give that ago and try to get the first batch ready for Saturday.

Danta Claus won the day last time beating Original Little Plum. I think Keep on Rolling and Santa's Little Helpers were the semi finalists if my memory serves correct.

[POPPY]

Hi Macca don't worry it is sorted I have working it out tonight you can have 10 in a poll so if you have 3 lots of 10 from the bd range then go again and evntually get them down to 2 do all the big pieces together etc etc then it will hopefully end up with about 20 pieces which would be 2 semi finals off which you could have top 2 in each group and have the 4 finalists or something close along those lines

[Macca]

just please don't put all the christmas pieces and specials like roundabout rascals and front covers etc all in the same poll. I don't think i could cope deciding out of those.
Also, i don't think there will be a huge amount of voters, so perhaps if there is an option to choose more than one... say the n number that go through that way they'll be more votes available. Or we could end up with one vote per piece if you see what i mean and no winner

[Macca]

i.e multiple choice

[POPPY]

I beleive on the new poll system you can leave a poll open for a certain period of time and also you can permit people more that one vote. I was thinking of spliting them into 16 groups top 2 in each group go to 4 semi's 8 in each group then top 2 in each group into an eight piece final. You will be amaized who will vote as you don't have to let people know if you have voted so members from the other forum will vote.

[Alexander Lemming]

I've just re-registered myself after reading this thread.

I'm still collecting and reading the posts on this site for that matter, I just never re-registered when the site changed for one reason or another.

The new releases are fantastic as ever, can't wait to get them!

[Macca]

Alex, good to see you back man and glad to see your still collecting :D
