I agree!

Maybe it should be a "Fill her box (no pun intended) with "get ya rat out" requests?

Does it affect your life that much that you have to post on here what a waste of web space that is?

What about the web space you are wasting with this thread that you started rofl

on the other forum I use, jokes/shite section posts don't add to post count

Getting rid of it won't stop it tho, bored people have to keep their simple minds active by talking shite and entertaining themselves with little games like that, I should know

also to add, the "shite" forum on the other board I use is for paying members only, now THAT cuts it down if Bandwith or whatever really is an issue

OMG - is there a devide in the PF camp??

watch out, perhaps there will be 2 stands at each show next year for PF "General Room" cars and "Muppet room" cars!!

does it really matter???

if it's using up that much webspace, perhaps only have 20 past pages or something for the muppet room if its a problem?

Do you know Steve you can be a fookin ar$e at times, and yes I post in the muppet room a lot, Why?? Coz you can actually have a laugh, and conversation with people, without anyone jumping on the band wagon starting on you for some pathetic reason, a bit like this post really!!!

Fook all to do with post count, ye there are a few in there that spam, which personally pi$$es me off, but who the fook are you lot to judge people just because they post in the muppet room?!?!?

Sorry if all us guys who post in there come on this site to have a laugh and chat to people, as opposed to talking cars constantly or ripping people to pieces like some of you seem to get a kick out of...

Surely this pointless post is just expanding the Database behind PF..... ?

Thus slowing down the overall performance of the board


I know you run a relaxed ship that people enjoy.... but is it necessary... what are these idiots trying to acheive ?

They would do 'Lets see who can send 10,000 text messages' now would they....

There's alot of sad'os in the muppet room, mostly attention seekers imo (especially girlies that get abit of attention off blokes who are huuuungry & then they start thinking they're 'all that'
But kim's ok cos she's a mate

pmsl.... AJ you just know you saved yourself there


I must admit though as much as I like the Muppet Room, I do agree with Neil, the keep it at the top post is cool cos its just a post where everyone chats, but all these "boost your post count" & the 10k post all these are OTT imo.....it pisses me off when you go in there and you end up reading through 10+ posts that have nothing but smilies on them Is very frustrating for the people who go in there just to have a giggle!!!

This server can take over 10x the traffic we have right now before it slows even slightly, so until that time, i am not worried.

Ill hold my hands up to a bout of spammin thats taken place recently!! I was bored and lonely....

Its hardly gonna cause the board to run slower though is it?? Im sure the database which PF runs from is epic and will take more than a couple of muppets to slow it down!! These posts arent compulsary are they, and its pretty obvious which ones are spamtastic so if u dont wanna see it... dont look!!

quality posts count ... not quantity ...



says the person who once managed to start every topic on the first page ..
was after world domination (well p/f anyway)





then bandy banned me for the night ... i remember it well
and that was only as some grumpy git complained




im allowed to say its full of drivel as i have managed to add plenty myself

the muppet room is good imo for the pure fact u can go in there and theres always something funny to have a laugh about.

not just come in gen discussion and read about some dick that thinks the muppet room wastes web space

how sad do u wanna make yourself look
