Archive for The Unofficial Mamod and Other Steam ForumThe Original Unofficial Toy Steam Forum Established 2006 The biggest, most popular steam forum around! Accept NO imitations! We have a growing community of regular posting members who chat about all aspects of toy and model steam.
Anyone care to forecast when we get our 300th. member? We aren't far away!
Perhaps we should have a sort of sweep! Register your guess and we can wait to see who is closest.
I'll start.
My prediction is Dydd Dewi Sant - St. Davids Day - 1st March - couldn't be a better day for it!
tmuir
I will say 31st of March, although if stopped deleting all the spammers I would say this Friday.
Les
Since we only twelve away, I would guess the 20th January. Give or take a day....
MooseMan
Well I'm going to go with Barry - Dydd Gwyl Dewi Sant.....well, I would, wouldn't I.....
Les
Or should I say eleven...
Minor1PJG
With the rate of new members at the moment I'll say 21st Jan
johnreid
Sheesh it was not that long ago that everyone was betting on Member 200.
I will make one Wager, it wont be Britney
Wallace
Hmm hard to guess. I'd say mid Feb?
Although one or 2 will be going soon when I check the list.
Visitors must remember to use a valid working email address when joining

When I posted this, there was 289, are you taking people off just to prolong the excitement!!
Manxman
Ha ha. No it goes up and down as the spammers are removed. I'm sure we'll get there and I hope whoever it is, that they post and not just read threads.
Wallace
Yeah we get plenty of spammers. Since my last post it increased by one spammer, so it's about to drop again
Mamodman123
Feb 15th
Reid
Next Twensday or Frinight, def.
bessytractor
give it 17 days
johnreid
For twenty pounds that guy that examined James' sheep could predict the gestation period.
Nick
January 19th.
Steve_S
We might get a sudden rush after STIA if we make a good impression on the crowds.
Me
I think around the end of february for the 300th member, minus the spammers!
P.s GO BRITTANY!..
- Me
toxx
... Feb. 31, for sure! As we Latin speakin' corpses say: logo et claro.
Xanto, canine unit, is telling me to re-think that date.
Ooooops ...
Cheers, mates!
barry1946
I agree with Me, we must insist on a total after the spammers have been cleaned out! I'm sure Tony can moderate the winning date!
By the way Me - I have a daughter living in Ipswich... UK!!!
James
All the spammers are cleaned out and always are LOL
Graham-Jilly
well im guessing march 4th as thats when we joined so comming up for our first aniversary we were no.114 to join. will tink glasses as we fly over asia on our way to heathrow
barry1946
Up to 290 this morning, can we last 7 weeks until my prediction?

Speak nicely to Wallace and ask him to clear the few members we have joined but never logged in after getting their account activated.
Its just something we do every now and then and that should buy you a few more days.
barry1946
That's a good idea!

Only 8 to go and eight days to do it in.
James
All the spammers are deleted within a day of them joining!

No way!!!
Wallace
I'm with you Barry. No way.
As James said all spammers are deleted within a day.
In addition to that non obvious spammers may take up to a fortnight to delete which I'm about to do now.
In addition as are members with non valid email addresses. ie, they don't work
Nick
Well I picked the 19th of January earlier, but it doesn't look too good for me. Still only at 290.
Nick
Now it's 289.
Les

No, 287. Whats going on??

Les, as pointed out elsewhere in this thread the drop in numbers is due to deleting spammers,
Cheers

I know, but yesterday I was sooo close. Is there a conspiracy going on
Wallace
Well we need 2 more members by the 17th Jan to keep the member list at what it is now or it will drop by another 2 then

Well I said 31st March so need to get Wallace to do some house cleaning so I stand a chance.
Nah obvious spammers go on the same day, less obvious may take a week and periodically we clear away people who join but never bother to visit us after joining.
Nick
I pick January 31st for 250.
tmuir

No danger of ever going back to 250.
On any day there is usually between 2 and 6 new members that are undecided as to whether they are genuine members or spammers or trolls but never more than that.
Les
I see this person,
cigarette|cheap cigarett,
is in and out like a yoyo.
johnreid
I think maybe Britney has a nasty Nicotine addiction

Yes for some reason the name blocking function isn't working on him, he's really beginning to bug me.
IndianaRog
Maybe for cigarette guy, you have to put the whole stupid name in including the up and down character between the words. That is probably there so that just filtering on "cigarette" won't work.
Atticman
Filtering sure dont work when it comes to cigarettes, the're just as toxic with or without Rog
Nick
Well, only one day until my guess (19th), looks like I lost.
tmuir

You only need to phone 5 friends to still be in there, well actually 6 as I can see a spammer that needs deleting.
Nick
But I don't know any steam people.
Les

Are you saying you've got no friends.

Nope, will you be my friend?

I've still got two days left, so I'm in with a slight chance.
Nick
Nah, I think you're going to lose too!
Les

No, I got three friends to try and sign up tonight.

Well, it's official, January 19th came and I'm a loser.

Wonder if CigaretteCheapCigarette might collect Wilesco Mobiles?
Britney, where are you?

And I think he must have 30 brothers and sisters with the number of times they have joined.
barry1946
Looks like St. Davids Day is a non runner!
Les
I am still in with a chance. 298 and there's still tomorrow to go.
Unless it's still got to be de-spammed.

There is one new spammer in there that I can see just quickly looking so once Wallace logs on next we will be back to 297.

Done.
Ok just an update for you all.
We are currently at 297. 2 of those need to be confirmed, an 1 of those 2 could be a spammer, not sure.
I think I predicted 300 for mid Feb, but it should be sooner than that
Nick
Maybe the cigarette guy really is a member. I bet what he is trying to say with his name is that cigarettes make a cheaper fuel than esbit. I hate the smell, but they just might smell better than esbit.

Maybe his engines run off PASSIVE SMOKING.

Yeah, and Britney thinks she is hot enough to run an engine.
I can not get over how hard some of these scammers try to get into different forums etc.

Just be glad we had admin activation turned on or every time one of these spammers joined we would get a dozen or so spam posts of what ever product or service they are offering.
Les
I was close, but not close enough.
toxx
... oi, lads! There's a new member! bungle80a. Welcome, bungle!
Nick
I see the cigarette is back.
toxx
... he's the cigarette guy? Wow, he sure is stubborn - guy must be awfully bored.
Les

Can't he be 'stubbed out'

It would sure be nice if that could be done.

Is this right, have we finally reached 300?
toxx
Well, then: WELCOME, Suneem!
A fine Austrian welcome, plus lots of wine, which I shall provide, as long as you pay.
Greetz, mate!
barry1946
Is it an 'Official' 300 mods?

Don't think so sorry.
I can see today we have had a 'hawk' and a 'hawk.' register today so I'm guessing they made a mistake and accidently registered twice and although I could be wrong 'Suneem' profile has the signature of a spammer.
So that brings us back to 298 although Wallace will confirm that when he logs in tomorrow.
toxx
... spammer. Gosh, I wish these people would go and get a life.
Les
Wallace
Sorry, Tony was spot on, Suneem is a spammer.
I can say now that we have reached 300.
Pending 2 confirmations, they will be activated and then it is official
Nick
Who won the contest?
Les
tmuir
I won the contest for being out by the most days I think.
Not sure who had the closest guess though

Congrats Minor1PJG!

So is the 300 count official?

Wallace is waiting on 2 new members to email him back to confirm they are not spammers and once they email him back it is official but they look like genuine members so it should be ok.
Wallace
Still awaiting reply, but now 299 is official
Nick
Who will the winner be???
