Patrick is not Zeus, the writing styles are obviously different from each other. Besides, why don't you ask the mods here if you don't believe - they can check the IP addresses easily.
Actually I don't mind at all. At least he acts like a Zeus clone and I'm 100% sure he would feel very much at home at the Zeus forum. So please encourage him to go there. If Zeus can stand having a twin brother on the forum, that is.... :roll:

I did invite him some months ago. He promised to drop by some day, but haven't so far.

There's more than one forum? Oh! I've only just got used to this one (I'm new to the game). I could'nt cope with the 'Others', there would then be too many passwords and things for me to remember. It's bad enough with the few I already have and I sometimes get them wrong when I'm at work and type in 'something' PSB to get my bus key (module) and the office checker thinks I'm mad. I like (love) PSB & don't care about what the 'Others' think. (You make them sound like something out of 'Lost')! If I had been on-line say since 2003 or before I would have 1,000's of posts 90% of them being crap. (So I have'nt been 'noticed' yet) :wink: I don't want to slag people off (yet)...but I joined for fun and to speak to 'like' minded people out there, inwhich I so far have and your a good bunch. When I want to be slagged off, sworn at or laughed at I go to work for that. (At least I can't be spat on here) Check my profile to see why that happens to me at work. I can understand why some people can become 'obessed' with people of fame, my long passed away father (16 years ago) had mild fame, he was on TV in the 80's (his own show) from his days when he was a famous sportsman, only in his own field (fishing) which I never enjoyed doing. (I would have much prefered him to be a footballer, but hey). His books still sell today (even on ebay) there's been signed copies going for over £200 at times and the book company still re-release old stuff on 'Hardback' sometimes (well he could hardly write from the grave) although other people have about him...even me :oops: the press are so easily pleased. People today sometimes say to me (when they hear my Surname) "you're not related to so & so are you" I say yes I am & I am proud of that but I take it no further because some people will only (want) to know you for that reason...so 'why' mention it here? I don't know really, only to get it off my chest and saying it here is like saying it in the dark, it's safe cos' you can't see me or come to me. 'Fame' did'nt make dad happy (just money) Mum and Dad divorced before he became famous so she missed out big time. But there are some strange people out there so I don't want to give out the name, I don't mean to offend anyone by that statement, but the passed has taught me that. Anyway, I have just looked at the computer screen and I have'nt put in any paragraghs, oh well, although this has got to be my biggest post so far. :o

I'm quite happy to never read another Zeus post ever again. Shame, he's half good-looking. But loves to bring the evil.

(And I know that comment will get back to him. Zeus always loves any compliments to his physical appearance, I noticed ages ago. Tragically susceptible to flattery of the most casual sort).

But he has no concept of other people's feelings, ever. Ruthless and often mean-spirited.
I don't miss him.

It's no complaint. If they want, they can start 4 billion threads about this forum. I just pointed out that it says a lot about your forum, when *by far* the most popular topic is called That Other Forum....

Please don't consider it a complaint. In fact it's rather amusing. :lol:

Not really. There's no thread on here entitiled That Other Forum about "that other forum". It's been brought up in this thread to highlight how pathetic and rather amusing it is.

People are complaining in this thread about another forum having a thread on its forum complaining about this forum. By complaining, or, as you would probably prefer it, "pointing out the amusement of it", you are implying that you would not fall to such depths. By pointing it out, you are also boasting that this forum does not indeed have a similar thread complaining about that forum and boasting this forum's superiority, which is what "THAT OTHER FORUM" thread is doing over there- complaining and pointing out what is pathetic and amusing about THIS forum.

In all actuality, that is exactly what THIS thread is doing- complaining about "THAT OTHER FORUM". Or "pointing out what is so pathetic and amusing about it" as you would probably prefer it.

So, really, you are no better than THAT OTHER FORUM.

Which is, my friends, HYPOCRITICAL.

*LOL* It's getting funnier and more hilarious every second. I only responsed to Joemoz, who wrote that 'that other forum' is so interesting. I just wondered why the topic 'that other forum' is by far the most popular one then?

I wasn't discussing behaviour of people on that forum in every topic they open, only the general fact one the 'that other forum' being by far the most popular one. Such a topic cannot be found over here, nor do people here claim superiority and advanced intelligence, while spending most of their days discussing posts made on the Zeus forum...

That's a difference you don't seem to understand... :roll:
But you're right about one thing, though. Enough was said about that Zeus forum.

I forgot to mention that Lydia's forum is also a decent one, since it had a couple of exclusives :up:

That's a difference you don't seem to understand... :roll:
Considering that the thread has been open for 11 months now, which, with 865 posts to date, puts it at about 2 1/2 posts in the thread per day since it was opened.

Working under the assumption that the thread was started very shortly after Zeus' forum started, that would mean that most of the 795 other topics and 24,000 posts have been since then. If you've got your calculator out, that works out to be 3.6% of the total posts have been spent on that one topic, which makes up .13 % of the total topics on the board. Even if you moved out the assumption that there were posts on the forum before that thread started, AT BEST, you are looking at it taking up 5% of all the posts were in that one same thread.

Spending most of their days discussing posts on this forum? Hardly. Don't confuse popularity with being the oldest and longest running.

I dont know if verbal is zeus,or care that he started a thread about this forum as he and others broke away from this forum and started his own. seems ok they might want to discuss where they just left.seems natural.

but after checking his place out, his forum reminded me of Jolt cola.
the selling point for that drink when it came out in the 90's was it was more exciting, had more sugar and caffeine and gave you a boost you couldnt get from regular soda.

trouble was despite the hype when it finally came out, it just tasted like generic supermarket cola.
