At the time of posting this, it will take just 10 more posts for this Fforum to equal the old one in size. It's taken four months, give or take the odd few days.

Does anyone know how long it took the old one to get as big as this? I'm pretty sure it was longer than four months... quite a lot longer, in fact.

And if the Fforum continues to grow exponentially, as it seems to be doing, what will be the consequences? Will anyone have time to do anything else? Don't get me wrong, it's wonderful to see so many new members on the Fforum, but I do occasionally wonder if we're not in danger of distorting normal cyberspacetime to the extent that the Fforum breaks off completely and we all disappear together into our own happy little Ffordian bubble universe.

Actually, thinking about it, that sounds great, doesn't it? :-) Just as long as we remember to stock up with cheese before it all goes critical, we should be fine!

And before they insane with the Cheese Tax!

Chocolate - don't forget the chocolate

or jaffa cakes...

It could end up as the fforum version of L-Space.

Ff-Space anyone? We've got enough librarians...

I know that the old fforum existed in a kind of limbo until Ben and me arrived and turned it upside down ;)
Then I think it got big quite quickly hehehehehe

I just hope that doesn't mean this one will explode as well!!!!!

Don't forget to stock the Fforum-bubble with plenty to drink (including a supply of Madeira, for me, please), too, before it buds off from "reality"...

Let's check the instruction manual for Fforum-bubble readines:

* one jar of Nescaffee instant - check
* one Evil Munchkin velcroed to the right leg, teeth firmly planted in my knee - check
* one bag of Cheezies (for me) - check
* one box of Cheereos (for Evil Munchkin) - check

yup, that's it - I'm ready to roll

Will there be beer and curry, actually when I say beer I really mean lager (proving once again how uncultured I really am).

And more chocolate...

Did we mention the chocolate?

There's a hole in my creativity bucket and it's all leaked out.

So shall I bring a large chocolate cake, shaped like a dodo?

Don't forget bananas for the librarian OOK!

If it was shaped like a dodo I think I might be put off eating it, and Mildred would be offended.

But we all like chocolate cake, so being some non-dodo-shaped.

This thread poked me into going and looking for my first post, I made it on January 23rd 2002. Just after buying and reading the first book.

We first met Jasper at the Abergavenny signing, when my daughter started going out with her boy friend, they wanted to meet on nutral ground. They plan to go back there for the day this year to celebrate.

Sylvester says.... *plock*




actually he says peep, cheep, chirrup, squalk,muttermuttergrumblegrumble, oh and now he falls off his pirch whish is followed by a sheepish peek round to see if anyone was looking and a quick scramble back up

My first post doesn't even exist anymore, it's lost in the cyber-ether. Now there's a sign I've been here too long...

How about if it were shaped like a mammoth, or a piece of toast or a hunk of cheese? Or maybe a multicolored porshe?

Or I could just do a large rectangular sheet cake iced white with blue lettering and borders in the style of Jasper's Goliath food labels.

I did my first post on 08-05-02 apparently...thought it was earlier than that. So exactly a year and a day ago I made my alleged first post!

Boy how things have changed!

And my first post was on October 23, 2002 (about a week before Halloween).

Bea - I'm not sure I can claim to have turned it upside down. Any correlation between random stuff and myself is purely coincidental. It just evolved naturally, rather than anybody changing it. Feel free to blame yourself though...

I've been about since mid-August somewhere, and can't really be bothered to find my first post. Stuff hs changed - there's now a community here who actually welcome newbies, but AAC would know the changes better than most of us, I guess.

This is the work of an Italian narco-anarchic collective. Don't bother insulting them, they can't read English anyway.

Wilfred is extremely worried about the trace amounts of penguin.

I think I've been around here since about last September or October, but I could be wrong... must go and look.
