| WOW! I just discovered that this is my 51st post today! I didn't mean to hijack the boards! I've just been incredibly bored today and wanted to spend some time with all of my friends! So, does anybody know what the record is for the most posts by one person in one day? Just curious! |

| wow congratz..!!! I think the most I ever got in one day was 30 |
| Posted by: WizardofOwls 04-Jan-2005, 09:38 PM |
Well, after thinking about it, it probably isn't a record. Annabelle or CelticRose probably hold the record... you know how they are!  (Wizard ducks to avoid a shoe thrown bya certain redhead...) |
| Posted by: urian 04-Jan-2005, 09:57 PM | ||
 Allen...that was so well timed...thank you oh..by the way duck!   |
| Posted by: WizardofOwls 05-Jan-2005, 09:01 PM |
 Boy, she's deadly with those shoes!  |
| Posted by: 3Ravens 05-Jan-2005, 09:04 PM |
| Actually, I think it was Dragonboy.......hope he doesn't throw shoes! |
| Posted by: Rindy1202 05-Jan-2005, 09:12 PM | ||
Keep on posting Wizard, I think that is a really good question on who has posted the most in one day. You guys have been here awhile. How would we find the answer to that question???? I am so glad everyone is here you are a life saver!!!  |

I don't throw shoes! Infact, I think I wear them.... Congradulations on 50 posts in one day! Bajeezzers! (Bajeezzers is my new word ) |
| Posted by: Aragorn 06-Jan-2005, 10:07 AM |
| Hmm, looks like Allen has been a wee bit bored...haha. Wow, 50 in one day is a lot. My fingers would be hurting after 20 posts. |

GOSH, Janeymae! Isn't that painful?  |
| Posted by: VetteGal 07-Jan-2005, 07:42 PM | ||
Naw, that's what the ears are for to pull the jaw back up. Watch it everybody, Wiz is trying to beat 50!  |
| Posted by: Rindy1202 07-Jan-2005, 07:59 PM |
| Does anyone know for real that 50 is the mark to beat? I think we should all give it a shot... I am bored tonight because I want to be. I love talking to all of you.!!! |
| Posted by: VetteGal 07-Jan-2005, 08:21 PM |
| So, does this mean there is a race tonight? |
| Posted by: Rindy1202 07-Jan-2005, 09:01 PM | ||
Shall we all race? Nah it would take the fun out of it all!.. |
| Posted by: WizardofOwls 08-Jan-2005, 12:18 AM |
| WAY TO GO RINDY! YOU BEAT ME 50! 54 posts! You like to talk as much as I do! |
| Posted by: VetteGal 08-Jan-2005, 01:26 AM | ||
Wiz, is that a good or bad thing?  |
| Posted by: WizardofOwls 08-Jan-2005, 01:29 AM |
I'm not sure but hsi my 62nd post today, so I guess tht's either REALLY good or REALLY bad!  |
| Posted by: 3Ravens 08-Jan-2005, 01:55 AM |
| It says "something" about our offline social lives, anyway..... |
| Posted by: WizardofOwls 08-Jan-2005, 02:00 AM |
| Social life? What's that? You mean there is life offline??? Well ladies, I hate to be the one to break this up, but I've got to get in bed. At 5:00 Am, I will have been up 24 hours and I'm getting cross-eyed sleepy! Thank you both for a VERY entertaining evening... er... night... er morning... WHATEVER! I've had lotsa fun!And Miss Rindy, this is post 74! Have fun topping that one! |
| Posted by: 3Ravens 08-Jan-2005, 02:01 AM |
| G'night, Allen! |
| Posted by: VetteGal 08-Jan-2005, 02:04 AM |
| Say goodnight Gracey. Goodnight Gracey Night Allen |
| Posted by: WizardofOwls 08-Jan-2005, 11:19 AM |
| Good morning everyone! Guess what? This is post 82 for me today! I might be able to make it to 100 if I try! WOO HOO! |
| Posted by: A Shrule Egan 08-Jan-2005, 11:30 AM |
Guess it's time to move over to the Thistle.  Maybe I can find something there to read.   |
| Posted by: WizardofOwls 08-Jan-2005, 11:32 AM |
| WHAT! Don't you dare! We'll find SOMETHING to talk about! Me and Rindy and Vette and Ravens had a party last night! Did you see our crumbs? |
| Posted by: gaberlunzie 08-Jan-2005, 11:51 AM |
| Well, call me a party pooper... I do NOT mean to offend anyone here BUT I won't participate in those "contests". It's nice to talk, it's nice to have fun, it's nice to share a laugh...but if it's question of quantity..?? What I'm missing, really missing, here during the last time is the depth in discussions we used to have in the "good old days" of Celtic Radio. This post might sound a bit harsh. Please notice, I'm not commenting on ANY person here, only a FACT and then it's - just - my opinion... |
| Posted by: 3Ravens 08-Jan-2005, 12:30 PM |
| Hi Gabby! What do you want to talk about? |
| Posted by: Rindy1202 08-Jan-2005, 01:04 PM |
| Yes Hi Gabby, you jump right in and talk about what ever you want. It isn't quantity we were just having some fun. It is kind of fun to race. Hey Wizard to you make your 2000? If soCongratulations  |
| Posted by: WizardofOwls 08-Jan-2005, 08:09 PM | ||
Hi gabi! Once again I find myself in a postion where I feel I need to apologize to you. I'm truly sorry if our little bit of fun last night bothered you. It was very late at night and hardly no one else was around, so we only wanted to have a little fun. No harm was intended. You are correct in that it is not a matter of quantity of posts that matters. But there is nothing wrong with having a little fun occasionally too. I enjoy a good in-depth conversation myself, but after having a bad day yesterday because I didn't get a job I truly wanted, I felt a need to unwind. I was very fortunate to have such good frineds as Rindy, Vette and 3Ravens who wanted to chat too! I don't have many friends outside of CR. I tend to be a very private, withdrawn person away from CR, but here I feel free to be myself and talk with people (you included) whom I consider to be my dear friends. I hope no harm was done to our relatiuonship because I love ya like a sister and wouldn't want to do anything to damage that relationship! Sincerely, |
| Posted by: dragonboy3611 08-Jan-2005, 09:21 PM | ||
Wizard...withdrawn...quite..... HE'S LYING, DON'T LET IT FOOL YOU! Actually, that's me in highschool...I'm not one to be in the crowd...for many reasons! Welcome back in gabi, and I respect your opinion. |
| Posted by: WizardofOwls 08-Jan-2005, 09:30 PM |
| WOW! Look at Today's Top 10 Posters! This is post 100 for me today! No wonder my fingers are smoking! |
| Posted by: dragonboy3611 08-Jan-2005, 09:31 PM |
| Ah yes, that carple tunnel will be setting in very soon for you wizard! That is, if it hasn't already! |
| Posted by: Rindy1202 08-Jan-2005, 10:30 PM |
| I too am withdrawn not a very out going person. It is probably because I am here on the computer with the best friends I could have. This place is very special because of the people in it. I wonder how many members are the quiet type so to speak...???? May be we should do a poll?? |
| Posted by: WizardofOwls 08-Jan-2005, 10:41 PM |
| WOW! This is post 122! Shouldn't some of the posts from last night be falling off by now? Rindy, I'd be curious to see such a poll! Perhaps it the benefit of anonymity that allows us to be more open here than we are in the outside world! I find it much easier to open up to people here than elsewhere! |
| Posted by: Rindy1202 08-Jan-2005, 10:45 PM | ||
Me too Wizard! Not sure why, I have always been very self conscious, not sure why that is either as I used to model, may be that is why. LOL I don't know but as long as we all have fun is what it is about. No one is here to hurt anyone else. I would say your fingers are smoking wow 122? No way.... |
| Posted by: gaberlunzie 09-Jan-2005, 06:04 AM | ||||
I'm sorry to hear about that job...life is hard at times, no? Wizard, there's no reason for you to apologise. I see your point and I'm sure you know what I was trying to express...I didn't refer to anyone personally; so there was no intention to offend anyone nor is offence taken here. There are two different opinions and you shouldn't feel you ever need to apologise for a firm point of view. |
| Posted by: dragonboy3611 09-Jan-2005, 07:46 AM | ||
That would be an interesting poll! The internet tends to open you up, becuase your not there actually. And of course the best people in the world are here! |
| Posted by: WizardofOwls 09-Jan-2005, 12:26 PM | ||
Of course! Where else could you go and spend the entire day talking with such WONDERFUL people about such absolute nonsense? I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon! |
| Posted by: Annabelle 09-Jan-2005, 03:37 PM |
| Could we have something of "substance " to talk about? This is posting hell! Many years ago S2 held the record of 84 in one day. His posts at least contained some context in those 84 posts! Could we please offer something to educate each other....not the garbage racing again! |
| Posted by: maisky 09-Jan-2005, 03:49 PM | ||
Ms. Annabelle, we have MANY threads that are educational. Why is it a problem for people to simply have FUN in some of them? We all have different needs and objectives. Most of us have to be serious nearly all of the time. There should also be a place for simple fun. |
| Posted by: dragonboy3611 09-Jan-2005, 04:13 PM | ||||
Here! Here! There is no need to get negative about all of this, the point of celticradio is not to have the most posts anyway, it's to have a good time....if not, why would we all be here!? |
| Posted by: WizardofOwls 09-Jan-2005, 05:26 PM | ||
Annabelle dear, Once again, I am sorry if I offended you. That was not my intent. But CR is supposed to be a place to satisfy EVERYONE'S needs, not just a select few. I enjoy a good in-depth conversation when I feel that I have something to add that is of value to the conversation. But other times I just want to have some fun. When you talk on the phone with your friends is it always serious involving conversation, or do you not sometimes just have fun for the sheer joy of being amongst friends? Well I for one was never involved in any sort of race. Yes I was hoping to reach my goal of 2,000 posts. But it was late, no one else was talking and we just wanted to have a little fun. If we have to be in depth with every single post we make, I dare say there won't be very many posts! |
| Posted by: Rindy1202 09-Jan-2005, 11:00 PM |
| I just want to say, I did not intend to hurt anyone by posting fast. One does not judge one on intellect by the quickness or the depth of ones posts. Rindy |
| Posted by: Annabelle 12-Jan-2005, 05:00 PM |
| A while back I was informed there was a protocal in following the subject matter in all posting and not get too radical. At first I saw everyone racing and thought it was funny but it needs to stop sooner or later. It gets boring! I'm not trying to rain on your parade fellas but boring! |
| Posted by: Rindy1202 12-Jan-2005, 05:36 PM | ||
I didn't know we were still having a race? There are a lot of other threads to choose. So choose one if you find it boring. |
| Posted by: WizardofOwls 12-Jan-2005, 08:42 PM |
| Annabelle dear, I love ya like a sister and would not want to offend or upset you, but can we please just let this go? No harm was done. As far as I know, no one is or ever has been racing! At least I know for certain that I was never racing. I was pretty much just chatting outside of the chat room. I'm not even really certain that I understand exactly what you mean by racing! If, by racing, you mean trying to attain a certain number of posts, like I did trying to reach 2,000, I'm sorry about that too! But ever since I first joined CR and saw that page labeled "Overall Top 10 Posters," I have dreamed of getting my name on that page. Sorry, maybe its silly, but its also the truth. It always seemed to me like some mystical club for special members only. If trying to attain the goal of seeing my name on that list is what you mean by "racing" then I guess I am guilty as charged. If, by racing, you mean trying to get the mosts posts in one day, then once again I must say that I am innocent. I have never set with the goal in mind of trying to get the most posts in one day. I just enjoy talking with my friends here on CR, and if I see a thread that interests me, I post on it. Somedays I may not have any posts, others I may anywhere from 20-50. But its not a goal, just a by-product. The only thing I can say that I am definitely guilty of was the day I tried to get my name on all of the main topic headings, and I tried to write only posts that added something to the threads I posted to, not junk posts. If you found those boring, once again I'm sorry. As far as I know, we stayed pretty close to the topic in each thread we posted in. I always try to stay on topic in every thread I post on. And if we DID happen to stray from topic, again I am sorry. It was not intentional. At least on my part. But I must also say this. I joined this site to have fun. Plain and simple. When a topic is serious, I am serious. When there is humor, I enjoy the humor too. If you find my posts boring, once again I am very sorry. I enjoy your posts and look forward to the times when our paths cross on the threads. I would never dream of attacking you the way you have me, twice now, even if I found one (or many) of your posts boring, simply because I respect you as a friend and person. If I found one of your threads boring, I would simply stop reading and choose another thread that more closely suited my tastes. Its that simple. But I will maintain my good humor to the end despite all of that! I love ya dear, and I hope that we can just put this matter behind us and move on, okay? Please? |
| Posted by: maisky 13-Jan-2005, 07:33 AM |
| Sir Wizard, sometimes you just need to LIGHTEN UP. Some of us find the dead-serious threads boring. We ALL love Annabelle and most of us have gotten to joke with her. We all get to have a bad day now and then. I am still waiting for MINE...... |
| Posted by: oldraven 13-Jan-2005, 10:05 AM |
| And you wonder why I spend less time around the boards these days. If you want to post nonsense and more often, we have a chat for that purpose. It may be harmless fun to some, but when it's all said and done, the board does degrade after a while. Purpose goes out the window. We're here to share, not post. One board I am a part of removed the post counter for this very reason. We get less posts that way, but at least they all have a point. It may be something to think of implimenting here. What is it saying when the most active threads are about post count? And there are a handfull on the front page of the GD forum? Don't worry, I'm not upset or uptight, just seeing a trend that happens on all boards at times. An annoying trend all the same. One I would preffer not seeing on my favorite boards. Anyway, later guys. I think I'm going to join ASEgan. |
| Posted by: Rindy1202 13-Jan-2005, 11:21 AM |
| I have a idea let start all over again. I would say take this thread out. It is just stupid that we are even talking about it. This is the last time I shall speak on this subject. I am over it!!! |
| Posted by: gaberlunzie 13-Jan-2005, 11:53 AM |
| I hear you, oldraven. And yes, Rindy, I won't comment on the subject again also. I came to a decision though which is not an spontaneous one. I have been thinking about it for quite a while now. And I won't take it back. I have been a member of Celtic Radio for almost 1 1/2 year now. I always loved this place and in a way I still do. I have never ever had any trouble with Mac or any mod nor with members...I never got a warning or was in danger to be "booted"...I'm telling this to make sure that there is no such reason for me to come to this point now. I will stay away from Celtic Radio for a while and take a long break. . I may have a look every now and then but I won't participate at all. Just to see where the place will go to. This is no offense for anybody. It's not anybody's "guilt"...it's just me. I feel I don't fit here anymore. When I'm listening inside there is.... emptyness. So I need a break. I didn't want to "disappear" without letting my friends know. I don't want to have anybody worrying about me. Those who are close to me know how to stay in contact and we will do so. As I said before, I won't take this back. Please do respect it. Stay safe, all of you! Gabby |

| Hi everyone! My apologies for my absense of important issues on the board. To be honest with you, I have been spending the last week battling spammers, worm attacks and search engine bot hogs in order to keep this place running! A few reminders that I would like to make to echo some concerns I received through email, PM and from reading the posts. I would like to remind everyone that the Jester's Court is the best place to post "fun" topics of interest. I think we have kinda gotten away from that and now we have alot of topics being posted in the General forum that maybe belong in other categories. Beginning soon I may start moving alot of posts into their appropriate catagories. I will try and get some guidelines back up on the General forum. But lets try to limit the posts to items related to the purpose of this site: Celtic Music, Culture, Note worthy News stories that effect us all, important items that have happened in our lives, etc. In addition, I am very concerned with members posting just to get their post numbers up. This is not a race nor is it acceptable for you to be shooting for 100 or 200 posts a day. I am also concerned with posts being made that have little content in their message. This amounts to little more than spam and I can tell you that any sort of spamming will be dealt with quickly and swiftly by deny your entire internet provider access to CelticRadio.net. So everyone please remember: Be thoughtful in your posting and replies! Thankyou! |

| I can see why some might think ill of this thread. I believe it gives impressions of people speed posting, which would not be a good thing for the health of this community. Generally these forums would not be the place to look for instant responses. If you want that, hop in the chat room There should be no call for post races. That's not what this place is about. I don't get the impression that one was ever actually intended here myself, but I can easilly see how someone might get that impression and decide to run with it after reading this. Sure, feel free to have fun on this site. After all, posts do tend to run the gamut here. Just keep in mind, that you don't have to flood the system wth posts to do so Things such as that dangerous kittens thread I read the other day comes to mind as a wonderfully fun thread It was funny Again though, if you want to just yap, hop in chat. If the people you're wanting to yap with aren't in there. send a friendly PM. It is my hopes to eventaully build a fair ammount of traffic in there. It's on the schedule for the certain night of the week for 'official chat' but it's open all the time. |
