Should we be called Forummers, forumites or perhaps the Welsh version of fforymwyr? Has any one any better suggestions?

Addicts?

I'm with YAP - forum addicts anonymous...

too true!

Forum Addicts Run The Show

and then you can cut that down to it's abbreviation if you like !!!!

I think that I prefer one of the others!

I like "Forumites" best.

I've found myself quite regularly using 'Forumites' now........

Me too.

It sounds like we're insects or something.

Why the identity crisis?

No crisis! I just wanted to know the term favoured by the forumites here so that if we do get our Wales meeting up and running I know how to refer to us for press coverage, posters etc.

I see, now I understand! Don't mind personally so long as it's not rude

I've taken to using 'forumites'.



Quite possibly YAP, quite possibly!

frummers...you know who you are...

i think i'm with this idea and the idea of "Forumites"


ShArOn

I feel a poll coming on....any more suggestions?

Well, yes, it's reality..


The one used the most here...


Ah ,well ,"Forumites" ...."Termites" ..Quite close!

How do you pronounce the Welsh word?

Its "forrr-um-weeerrrr" with rolled r sounds and the middle syllable accented.

Hahaha. I tried to write the middle syllable in bold type but it just put a letter b before it and it looked a bit rude!

Sounds good to me!

Oh please no! I have enough trouble pronouncing my "r"s as it is! Anything but a word with a rolled "r", please!!

I also post on MSE Forums (moneysavingexpert)- there we use the prefix MSE when posting elsewhere (such as messages in bottles on http://www.oceangram.com/ ) - so if you spot any usernames that start MSE ( like MSE sneekymum) you'll know where they usually live.

Perhaps the ABRSM forumites might be called by a similar prefix? (when out and about, not on home ground).

I would have though that 'my "r"s' was actually quite easy to pronounce......





sorry.......!!!!

The Music Mafia!

forr-um-weeerrr

Before the letters you want in bold you type [ b ] and after them you type [ / b ] but with all the symbols together and no spaces. It works on the same principle as starting and ending quotes, and you can do the same with the letter i for italic. If you want both bold and italic start the first, start the second, type the letters, end the second, end the first (is that called nesting?).

Oh very funny !



I should think so too! (Although it WAS very funny )

Just thought of another one... AsBos


mmmm .... might give the wrong impression though....

I like that one!

Good one, CD!

I'm so glad you thought it was funny as well! When I first saw CD's post, I posted a (I thought witty) response which picked up on what CD had said, and almost immediately found myself blocked from the forums. At first I thought it was the usual glitch, but when I still couldn't get on at midnight and then at around 7ish this morning, discovered a message saying I'd been "deleted", I thought I must have been moderated for inappropriate language It's been horrible! So as soon as I got back on, I edited my post I'm so relieved I've not been deleted after all!

.... But I still think it's funny

Oh no! Glad to see you're back. It seems like the board has had some major problems, so maybe that was more to do with it...

I did think it was very funny

I wasn't on the forum last night, but judging by the lack of posts yesterday evening, I think the forum was down most, if not all of last night, perhaps someone else can confirm?

And quite a lot of tonight as well - or maybe I just tend to pop in at the wrong times.

I blamed my husband for messing with the computer

Hmmmmmm ADDICTS definately to get back to the original post.

I'm not an addict, addicts go to meetings.

And this isn't a meeting?

Fora Anonnymouse?
