And well done Aaron - it's a great site and I, for one, am impressed with your enthusiasm for all things comedy!
I'm trying to eat a satsauma!

Spooky! Me too - and yes I know. I'm in the wrong room right? I'm supposed to insult him? Hey Aaron you.... Nah, I can't do it. 
Quote: Kenneth @ April 21 2009, 11:51 AM BSTAt least in the years to come, when Mr Aaron is receiving knighthoods, winning BAFTAs and Golden Globes, writing bestsellers and top-rating sitcoms, and having flings with supermodels, I'll be able to proudly boast: I knew him when he was editor of BSG Forums. Which will be a pathetic lie, as I never met him.
Perhaps we are all lab rats in Aaron's evil comedy experiment. He feeds all of our posts into a super computer, which calculates the humour potential of any given line in order to make the most perfect sitcom (and thus, take over the world).
More likely though, Aaron's realised that moderating a comedy forum and making money from it, is much better then actually working for a living. I'm not suggesting that Aaron doesn't work hard on this forum, he certainly does and we love him for it, but it beats digging ditches, serving fries, cleaning windows or male escorting for a living. Or so I've read.
As for those who would sully his name and call him a sad nerd with no social skills for acheiving 50,000 posts, all I can say is...um...but...
All kidding aside, congrats on the milestone Aaron.
*I've just gone back and edited a spelling mistake in my post, that is the influence Aaron has over me - it's scary.
Quote: Kenneth @ April 21 2009, 11:51 AM BSTIn some fora, people who accumulate huge post-count milestones are the object of scorn and derision, and are advised to think long and hard about the staggering amount of time they've wasted online. Stuff like: "you're just sitting at the computer every day, waiting for death, avoiding your studies and responsibilities; get a life before it's too late."
I'm guessing you've had this one thrown at you quite a lot!

I prefer satsumas.

...you're all spot on.

Dictionary.com is one of his favourites. Many the hour he spends lusting after words like frottage, disputatious and orthodontics

You try writing satsuma when you're choking back the vomit.

A few days before I started posting here I had accumulated 5000 posts on another forum and felt quite ashamed, told myself to quit wasting time in forums and do something more worthwhile, like getting hold of The Goodies on DVD, so I retired from that site and then ended up here. I really do appreciate this site, the Guide's detailed information on sitcoms that I love, and the effort that goes into the forums. (no emoticon for obsequious grovel?)

Well done, Aaron!
