Guys, guys, where am I?!?

Well this should be the 20th reply, let's see....

I've always wondered how come you don't know these things. Aren't you "The Man" from Slitherine?

Gabe's deductive skills are impeccable as always. 25 posts make a topic "hot". All these kind of things are set by the admins...

I call "BS, dude" until proven! ( ) So let's pony up and see, shall we? Here is the count before this particular post:

Let's see if Bru can come up with two more [meaningful] posts in short order. Shouldn't be too hard for a blowhard.

This post is now reply #23.

[bru888]

For reply #24, I will speculate on the need for both color coding and a little red envelope to indicate unread posts. Are we not beginning to look a bit fruity, eh?

I call "Correctomundo, dude!" It's 24 replies plus OP = 25 posts total:

Hot, baby, hot! My first hot topic! And knowing me, not my last one, either, even if I have to provide most of the replies myself.

Merely one of many We are legion

Which notion is upheld by clicking "The Team" in Quick Links. Wow. I call "Overstaffed, dude!"

It couldn't be any other way. And you did it without Deja Bru's help.

And you did it without Deja Bru's help.

Yeah, that guy is back in mothballs.

Look, I am who I am, moderator or not, okay? Trying to be two personas in the same forum, one for rough-and-tumble and the other for that hint of authority, just did not work. I would forget who I was and reply with the wrong account! Plus when I switched from one to the other, all of the "read/unread" post markers would be changed and confusing.

I will keep Deja Bru for when I go elsewhere in Slitherine country, though. That's one of the drawbacks about the moderator avatar here. It's labeled OOB. So say I wanted to express an opinion in the Panzer Corps 2 forum, like "What the heck is taking you guys so long? Hello?" It will not look like I am carpetbagging if the poster is Mr. Deja Bru.

No worries, mate. I for one appreciate all posts made by various Bru incarnations. Back in the days (loooong time ago) when I still had some energy left I was a moderator at several boards. Not so easy to keep tabs of all those accounts when posting.

Now that "The Team" made this upgrade I wish they had added a couple of more smileys. There could be for instance a smiley to be used when you fine gentlemen share some pearls of wisdom to a seeker of knowledge. (this one -> )

Yes. Another thing that I would like to see here is reputation/thanks.
