If the blank thread goes

restlessboy [Edit] [Delete] 00:27, 5 June '06

I will be genuinely gutted.

Here's why.

On the 7th Decemeber 2005 I was bored in my little office job. i thought to myself 'I wonder what will happen if I press space bar in the subject line of a thread' - the results you can all see.

on the day we had a bit of fun posting in the thread having a laugh at the people who couldn't get in and were frustrated by it. It was a laugh. over time it's resurfaced and not much of worth has been said. fine.

But the reason I'll be sad it goes is that IT WAS THAT THREAD THAT MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS 'A DISER'. It made me friends with BobbyGrindrod and others. It gave me a name and a few months later there are people on this forum who are genuine friends to me. Those two little space bar pushes were pretty much the start of that.

there's no need to delete it. some people dislike it. it's a bit of fun. as far as I know it's not hurting the site. obviously it's nothing to do with me. It's not my website.

but there it is.
