Word Games... Why?

shill shill shill


Is shill a universal word on terb? Reduced to udder meaningless by over use?

I cannot find a single evidence of it here. Self promotion of self, ideas and beliefs is a tradition here!

don't you guys ever give up?


We shall not flag or fail. We shall pun on to the end. We shall pun in France, we shall pun on the seas and oceans, we shall pun with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our right to pun, whatever the cost may be. We shall pun on the beaches, we shall pun on the landing-grounds, we shall pun in the fields and in the streets, we shall pun in the hills. We shall never be serious!

Success is the ability to go from pun failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.

You guys are less than limely successful.
 
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Back to the point. What's up with the word games? I'm pretty sure it's because
the higher post count you have, has some corelation with the amount of respect
you get, when you post a review.

I.E. if person A has 1000 posts, and has been a member for 6 months, his reviews
won't be trashed with cries of *shills* nor labelled as a "newbie post".

However, if Person B has 10 posts, and has been a member for 3-4 years, he may
be called a *shill* or be told, "Good review for a newbie".


I'll post some examples, when I find them again.

While I admit I'm a sick bugger, I actually enjoy the pun threads. I'm not in the least bit interested in increasing my post count. The Mods could clear my count and I won't lose a minutes sleep tonight.

Post count + 25 - Who cares? ;)
 
Hey guys!

I have found great brain teaser AND be able to help others at same time:)

Go to www.freerice.com and start the game, even if you play for 5 min, you can help people and you'll find out why via website!
