    Is that what they told to say before they'd let you get your gold stars? :97::fear:

    Wondering about my hole getting mustarded

    cheers, Cellicbhoy.:50: Cheapshot at me? Was that the one about 'do you ike like an onion cos you stink like one'? or summit like that.

    If it's that one it kinda surprised me out of the blue, but no offence taken by me anyway. Just thought it showed extreme youth maybe. But as I say, when somebody gets me like that with the joke, hats off to him anyway. Legendary pisstake. Though I did wonder about what the dig was al about. Anyway, no harm done as far as i can see.

    Nice one, McNaka! Hadn't thought of it like that! But no, the GM thing will come through anyway, sooner or later. It's already paid up. But yeah, ful marks for your sharp wit.:50:

    I think you get away wi murder sometimes McNaka! You make me laugh a lot wi the quick replies. :50:

    Still, I CAN understand why people are * off. Really, Zed's comments and MAries and Cellicbhoys, Ellbhoys too. But at he same time I can't fault Dempsey's logic in his stance (yeah, that's part of the shamrock deal too...:84:).

    I can't find fault in the admn arguments really. Everybody's got thier own view of the thing. Maybe mines is too simplistic. I enjoyed it. Got taen in. Funny. The End.

    To me it was kind of like a college prank. This is just a message board, so that doesn't really bother me much. Only part that had me worried were the mods' behavior... but of course that was all part and parcel to the joke.

    If anything I'm actually impressed with Ellboy -- they're giving him some stick, but he comes off oozing class to me.

    I also think even though some of these "Non Gold Members" were bullying this guy you could honestly say the mods and the likes of Henke67 were the ones dishing it out to this GF4 the most.... Ok most of us fell for it but it backfired because only a handful of people were being nasty with posts they were making. And Ellboy does have reason to be a bit * with the Mod/s showing his PM'S he was trying to stick up for this guy.

    Yeah, Ellbhoy comes out the noble figure here. The slaggers in on the joke were playing their part well. I wouldn't have a go at them at all. They acted well. I backed off when I thought the GF4 might be fro real, even though I wasn't going to add to the thing anyway. I've never been one to join in with bullying, and have had anough hassle for sticking my nose in to defend the bullied, whether at school or at work (even feared getting the sack for one incident years ago)

    . As I say, I missed most of it after my last post but was getting horrified when I came back hours later and was reading through 31 pages of it. If they'd cut it off after GF4 calling Dempsey a *, that would've been perfect.

    All in all, a hoot. I just hope nobody's got burned or resents anybosy else's involvement, that's all.

    im quite shocked......dont understand why you would put on a fake post to see the reaction of everybody.

    noone should feel bad for bullying or whatever cos thats what they wanted anyway.

    As for the pms being shown, its disgraceful....... i will certainly watch what im doing from now on on here, were here to support the team and have a bit of fun, not to be set up.

    thats just my opinion, hope all involved had a good laugh at our expense, it was funny when we thought it was real.

    The pigeon boy thread was probably the most entertaining practical joke ever.
    It's a bummer to wake up and find this thread, it was far funnier when he was real.

    Lets look at the evidence.

    1st from the very outset of Goingfor4’s need help thread. The mods jumped on the guy straight away. Why was that?

    2nd Goingfor4 has not sent me a PM since the need for help thread was closed or at anytime after. Why is that I wonder?

    3rd If you read the GM/mods comments in this thread, starting on the very first page to almost the last page, you will see them implicating each other .

    4th This thread was locked for a time last night. Why was that?

    5th The most obvious, below thread in main forum,

    http://www.talkceltic.net/forum/celtic-chat/45003-skoosh-guy.html
    Post#9 in that thread

    Now how does Goingfor4 know what goes on in the GM forum, he’s not a member or is he?

    Look it’s obvious everyone sees it, you’ve been rumbled well done to all the co-conspirators on a fine prank.

    Now be men enough to stand up and admit it, or can you lot not take the joke now?

    P.S. Thank’s to all the members in this thread, for your stand-up comments. Obviously you guy’s can see through all the silliness.

    It means GF4, aka pigeon boy (were you here for the threads??), is a sock puppet.

    I'm not quite getting where this is going... but I can see it's not going away anytime soon.

    I have a lesson in life for some people;

    If you can't take a joke, leave the internet.

    * me gently, i cannot believe the over-reaction to a bit of harmless fun. Grow a pair of balls people :56:

    Its simple 1 or more of the mods are sharing this GF4 account, When i used to moderate an online gaming forum, many members regestered on the forums as different accounts to start flaming other players, you can easily check by going to IPS when your a mod to who is using what accounts, unlucky mods you get a measliy 2-10 work on your aliasing skills next time you do another practical joke for * nd giggles work on the layout first:50:



    Nd i took the joke well but some of the elements were too far or poorly planned///

    I think most have taken the joke pretty well hammer, I don't see anyone being overly upset.

    Now let's see if the people who played this prank, can do exactly what you suggest.
