Just wondering who my closest fforum neighbors might be. I can't be the only ffanatic here in latte land...

Not me, but I've been there lots of times (both on holiday and working - I organised a rock festival there a couple of years back), I know the place really well AND my very best friend lives there (down by Ravenna Park) so I guess I could be considered an honorary Seattleite... hello!

I grew up in Spokane, does that count? ( live in Virginia now)

There used to be another Fforumite from Seattle, but I can't remember her name at the moment...she hasn't been on in a long while

My brother lives in Seattle, but doesn't read fiction these days. I'm planning to visit him (and his wife) there for the first time in Early September. (I was originally going to visit in early August, but his landlord decided to sell the house he was renting, and he's bought another and will be moving at the time I was planning to visit.)

I'm in Michigan, BTW.

My uncle lives outside Seattle. He's got a cabin in the woods somewhere. All very rustic. I have yet to get there to visit but he sends photos often.

I'm in Connecticut.

Just out of curiosity, do we have any Canadians amongst us?

No, not me.

(I wonder why I posted just to say that...?)

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

Well obviously you were just trying to boost your post total.

Obviously I'd never do anything like that at all, ever. Honest.

Look, it's not like you get a better view from the top of the chart, you know.

Well yes, I know that. In theory. It's not a competition. Apparently.























Are there prizes?

If there's a prize I want to know where mine's got to - I've been top of the chart for five months now, which is some indication of how poor my social life is...

you said that, not us PSD! LOL

Actually, I've always been the gobbiest since we first worked out who was posting most (over seven months ago), and I'm not expecting some kind of prize as it's really only because I'm convinced other people think longer about whether they really have something to say.

I've been there so long it just seems normal, so I don't think of it as anything great. If other people overtake me I won't be particularly worried. They might be proud of overtaking me, or embarrassed, or anything. It depends whether you see it as some kind of acheivement, I guess.

Anyone with forum admin rights can reset people's posting figures. A user with significantly high posting rates could for example request that his or her figures be reduced drastically in order that their boss doesn't figure out that they're spending too much of their working day idly posting to a "chatroom".

I can't offhand think of why anyone would want their figures INCREASED artificially, unless it were to play the "I'm closer to admin than you are, nyah nyah" game (which I know enough already to realise would definitely not happen on this fforum), but like PSD says it all depends really on whether one views a high posting tally as an achievement or not. I feel it's important to contribute, but at the same time not to be outspoken. That's just the way I see it though.

Damn how I wish I could make it along to Leeds tomorrow, by the way. Just that bit too far unfortunately. Then again (straying vaguely back on topic) I really wish I was in Seattle too, one of my favourite cities in the world.

'Night everyone (or at least, all those for whom the bells toll)

I think we shoul dhave a dodo as a prize for highest poster. I say this becasue I spent yesterday searching the net for dodos for sale with little luck. So if I post random useless posts I may get one. (Shut up, PSD!)

What? What?

Oh, damn! Got me!

Hey, that's an idea - anyone fancy playing hide and seek? Or sardines?
