Re: bloke finally caught!
I hate to burst your bubble, but I've seen Bloke at 10,000 temporarily at least 5 times now. He would appear to make a new post, and then select one to delete.

I liked Bloke better as House than as the Joker. Seemed to fit him better.

Re: bloke finally caught!
I can confirm that he has, in fact, beyond a shadow of a doubt, been deleting posts. I remembered that he tried to sell a bunch of Eb mellophones a while back, so I did a search for it. It ain't there no more.

Sometimes he just modifies a post to something else to serve his twisted needs. Crafty little devil...

Re: bloke finally caught!
What about a whole thread? I searched "melophone" in the for sale section (with both one and two "l"s, just in case), and I came up with two hits. Bloke had a whole thread about them, and it ain't there that I can see. Can he do that?the elephant wrote:We know that. But you cannot delete a post that unless it has not posts following it. We have seen him going up and down near the 10,000 mark for a long time now and I am wondering when he will run out of posts that he is able to delete, meaning when will he finally be forced into accepting his "10,000 Post Geek" title?Nick Pierce wrote:I can confirm that he has, in fact, beyond a shadow of a doubt, been deleting posts.

Or is Sean his ally?

Note to self: tubenet search engine does not search for partial words, in other words a search for "mellophone" will not locate the word "mellophones."Todd S.

Re: bloke finally caught!
Hah! Caught him!
Not 2 hours ago the last post in that thread was Bloke saying, and I quote:
"Got it. Thanks"
Dang, he's wily, that one...

Shall we have a Bloke post stopping vendetta, or let things go through their natural course?

A thread about bloke going back and forth across the 10,000 barrier is almost as entertaining as reading the chapter about the show out the window out of The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Re: bloke finally caught!
Has anyone else bothered to look at the "mellophones for sale" thread with the link above again?

Now I know he's just playing with us...
