Alan Medic Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 In case anyone wonders why sometimes one or two people may post a number on a thread as it reaches X numbers of hundred posts, it is because one or two people are silly enough to think it's a game (not invented by me I might add).Please don't be put off by this or feel you are missing out on something. You're not.Thank you for reading. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/54217-the-numbers-game/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Medic Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 I had to look that up Michael. According to the Urban Dictionary it's a female pussy. Doesn't specify which type of cat. Elsewhere it says Total Waste of Time. If that's what you meant then why did you (waste your time)?

aquarius moon Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I can't really see why a particular poster seems to have a problem with a couple of people getting excited about playing their game.It's harmless & not hurting anyone.

Alan Medic Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 It wasn't me questioning the merit or otherwise of the numbers game. I've been a participant. You need a curry to set you straight.......where do you go for that?

Alan Medic Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Try the Curry Club for questions like that. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/54217-the-numbers-game/#findComment-821306 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DulwichFox Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 The numbers game is for people that never have anything Positive, Constructive , Interesting, Relative to say in any thread. It's a vague attempt to hijack any thread they feel they do not belong in. Certainly in the Curry Club thread which Michael Palaeologus started some 8 years ago does not benefit from people playing the so called Numbers Game. The Curry Club is not a Clique. It is not even a Club as such. The Curry Club open to all. People are sometimes nervous about asking if they can come along. Seemingly inviting themselves to a private event. ? Having a couple of Muppets doing the numbers bit may well intimidate potential new 'Members' who will not have a clue what all that crap it's all about. I can well understand Michael Palaeologus's annoyance after 8 years of dedication into organising the Curry Club events each month. It is probably the most successful thread on the forum.

Alan Medic Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Foxy, that opening sentence of yours is pure bull poo. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/54217-the-numbers-game/#findComment-821448 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Palaeologus Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 What Foxy said.Having spent some years in organising an open and welcoming event, it is annoying to have people who have never and may never attend, post in a way which conveys a sense of clique and ownership that is simply not valid.It displays a lack of respect (which I think a thread/ event of 8 years has earned) and a sense of attention seeking, entitlement and ego that can be expressed elsewhere without causing offence.

Robert Poste's Child Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I know it can be a bit annoying if it's a thread that's important to you but is it such a big issue? I don't find it particularly off-putting. In fact I can imagine that if it were to stop, in a few years' time someone will say it was one of the things they miss from back when the forum was good.

Alan Medic Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 I thought you had finished commenting on this yesterday Michael. What happened since?In the space of two posts 'numbers' people have been accused of:Never saying anything interestingNever saying anything positiveNever saying anything constructiveBeing muppetsHijacking threads we don't belong in (vaguely)Attention seekingLack of respectEntitlementEgoIs there anything else you would like to add? Perhaps you would suggest threads it's ok to post in without causing offence?PS this thread is open to anyone to comment on anything not related to numbers such as curry or the Mayor of East Dulwich.
