Dear PA Members

[Jasin]

As your new EL. I wish to just let you know that Black Orchid (especially), Bobby & I are currently working on 'cleaning up the mess' that the likes of Aussie has left this 'Real' PA Forum with. We are doing it behind closed doors, so as not to cause to much of a racket to the face of this Forum. So I wish to just apologise if you need an apology, for this minor inconvenience. In due course, once the mess is rectified, we will be able to give more attention and activity to the Forum at large.
Cheers.

What happened? I voted for Aussie so did my friend Graham.

[Jasin]

He was sacked for wearing pink pyjamas on the day, while sipping his XXXX beer through a straw and making goo-goo noises when someone voted for him.
Rumour has it that the planets were also not in alignment and this gave conflict between the spirit-world and the cyber-world as 'ghosts in the machine' began the automated action of jilting Aussie into the void.
There will be no memorial to Aussie as his remains have not been found and some say he has fled to the Troll Cave forum that Jovial Monk runs where he now grovels for full pardon for giving them all a rejection-complex when he left them crying for their loss.

Are you a drug addled dope head off your face, Vulcan?

Is that why my vote and Graham's vote was not counted?

I don't think any new members using a proxy should be allowed to vote.

I don't think any new members using a proxy should be allowed to vote.

May I suggest we adopt my Logarithmic voting system on PA?

1 vote per legitimate member should be all we require. I wasn't allowed to vote in the first 2 elections when I first arrived here because some dimwit (guess who) claimed I was a sock.

IMO if you use a proxy you are trying to hide something unless, of course, it's a well known member like SN who may have to use one for work purposes.

Generally speaking though if you join up here using a proxy, make no meaningful posts and then dive in at election time to vote ... you're a sock and should not be counted.

And note what I said about proxies!
