The one post I liked the most out of my year and a bit ive been here was this
QUOTE
here is no Medal of the Month for January.
This is because the selection process is particularly undemocratic, and no-one says there must be one every month
But nothing stops a special mention in despatches:
This goes to a fellow who, despite making nearly 600 NZFF posts, still hasn't made it clear that he even has a copy of Flight Simulator on his computer.
Indeed, the last vaguely flightsim related post he made was in September last year!
He virtually owns the Technical and Off Topic Topics.
(By now you may know who I'm talking about)
He has a shed, in which there resides a virtually limitless supply of computers and bits
(Now you really should know who I'm talking about)
He has done things to computers, and talked about them in the Forums, that no rational person would normally do.
He has caused grown men to cry out: "Aaaagh!! Nooo!!"
(At this point you know beyond doubt who this is. Otherwise you have been dwelling Outside the Forums)
So why does Brownbox get a mention in despatches?
Well, you cannot give him a medal for this offbeat behaviour.
But you can admire his Ballsiness.
It is a direct result of his tomfoolery that I whacked a hole in the case of my ancient computing machine, added a $10 fan, and dropped the whole system temperature by 10 degrees.
With accompanying increase in stability and performance.
There are others who have been similarly infected, you know who you are.
So without further ado:
Arise Sir Brownbox, and get thee to the shed!
You have been Mentioned![/quote]
Ahh yes... good times.
