  • You beat me to it

    Get messaging folks

    59418 notes have been sent so far!

    Because I was curious, in a very anonymous statistical kinda way I queried to find out who's been sending the most. Results are:

    +------+------------------------------+
    | c | username |
    +------+------------------------------+
    | 2236 | thommo |
    | 2206 | fullerov |
    | 2061 | wishpig |
    | 1474 | smilingcrazylady |
    | 1304 | beautiful-freak |
    | 1282 | Patricide |
    | 1109 | i-deserve-to-be-in-your-band |
    | 1090 | ladyoftheflowers |
    | 837 | Darcy |
    | 704 | badger_lady |
    +------+------------------------------+

    2236 notes! Jesus fucking christ! do you guys sit there messaging yourself all day? haha.

    Glad to see it's getting good use anyway.

        You better send a note to smooth things over.

                  you just seem to be a massive wind up merchant or passive aggressive.

                    You seem to have built up a completely false image of me in your mind! I never set out to wind you up!

                      you are a bit of a passive aggressive bobby. I still love ya tho.you sneaky wizard.

                          all this time you have been winding me up eh?

                            • Point is

                              Grindrod - I can't tell when you're joking or not and trust I'm right about passive agressiveness snce budget knows you and agrees. No matter though. We can all go back to what we were doing.

                              Patricide @BobbyGrindrod | 2 Nov '05, 11:10 | X
                              • But I'm never aggressive (passively or otherwise)!

                                Truthfully - I have never thought an evil thought against you when writing stuff on here. Don't take it so seriously/personally. Chris is just winding ME up by saying that anyway. I think, on balance, your responses to me have been far more aggressive than mine to you. But I don't mind - it's fun to have a bit of playful sparring!

    • Hey Matt

      Can you get figures for who they have sent notes too the most?

      For example, how many Darcy has sent Crabbers telling him he 'loves him'! (300+ at least)

      marcofella @matt | 2 Nov '05, 10:22 | X
      • *yawn*

        .

        Darcy @marcofella | 2 Nov '05, 11:04 | X
      • Hey I've got an idea!

        Why not stay off the offensive for a while?

        crablin @marcofella | 2 Nov '05, 11:42 | X
        • eh?

          It was a joke!

          I know (or at least i thought) you and Darcy were mates. I've seen you both having banter with each other.

          I meant no offence what-so-ever.

          You've read into this wrong.

          marcofella @crablin | 2 Nov '05, 14:20 | X

      Shady Adie?! I'm addicted. I NEED notes. You have 1 new message - ahhhhhh.

      smilingcrazylady @matt | 2 Nov '05, 16:05 | X
  • Eh?

    As I've already received two replies from notes I've already sent, maybe you're just being ignored...

    bamos @JDTraynor | 2 Nov '05, 10:48 | X
    • Could

      someone send me a tester so that i can see if it is working fine on my end?

      pretty please!

      marcofella @bamos | 2 Nov '05, 10:54 | X
    • more info needed

      It would be good to know who has recieved substantially less notes than they have sent.....i.e. who is a failure.

      Similarly who recieves more notes than they send, i.e. who has a nice photo.

      Also who stalks who?

      creakyknees | 2 Nov '05, 10:55 | X
      • Dear Matt and others

        Do you also get access to people's notes?
        I would read them all. Only keep them secret of course.

        And creakyknees; correct.

        Love MaryMary

        • in theory

          Not through the website, no. They're in the database but we don't look at them unless we're investigating abuse.

          May set up a batch job soon to delete old messages after a month, if that bothers anyone

          matt @MaryMary | 2 Nov '05, 11:09 | X
          • No!

            I like my messages.

          Thommo sent out loads of those about mixtapes.

          thewarn @fullerov | 2 Nov '05, 11:02 | X
          • Good point

            He ran six mixtapes, with about 200 PMs for each one. So that takes a massive chunk of his total, and means Fullerov is the ultimate loser in terms of no-one replying to his notes. Mwahahaha....

          not used notes very much before! I've only ever sent/received about 20. I've had a couple of flirty messages in my time, but I think they may have been ironic. I'm going to start using this more now!

                • I don't use notes that often

                  because with a couple of exceptions, most of the people I consider to be friends on here I talk to on MSN anyway.

                  Hence I'd probably be about 200th on that notes sent list!

                  OceanStorm @nice_squirrel | 2 Nov '05, 11:13 | X
                  • Yeah

                    that would involve me special-casing the singular, thoguh, and I was feeling lazy.

                    There is a special message if you have more than one note waiting though!

                                        are odd hours. Is it an office job? Office jobs are so so dull. The pleasant conversation people make and the laddish atmosphere in certain sections really make the day go slower.

                                              is polite and doesn't do double meanings in his posts.

                                              you're mischevious and as I said may possibly be taking the piss 24/7.

                                              My office is very male - all jokes about sex and bragging convo on the one side and inane lady chatter on the other. This woman that has just come back after maternity leave does nothing but go on about her baby. Only natural but still.......My only solace is that there are at least two people I can conversate with. One is a bit of an ego tist but the other is sound. I never thought I'd end up working in an office. My preferred method of working is alone.

                                                • is that the job....

                                                  you hate? the one that has a nasty amosphere?

                                                • Was that place

                                                  that bad? haha maybe London just hardens people as most people have obviously stayed in/ moved to London because they are careerists and want to get ahead while living in a buzzing city. All the ambitious people from my journalism course went to live and work in London. I can just about work out the tube map. I was staring at the circle line bit for ages - round and round.

                                                  • yes

                                                    this job is really bad, but I leave on Friday. I'm hoping it's not because it's London though, I think it's because it's educayshun.

                                                    Hopefully I'll find a job with some nice people! I'm not very careerist or ambitious though (I don't think!) The Circle line is weird, but at least if you fall asleep and miss your stop you can just stay on it!

                                                That's not very fair! I think you're imagining these double meanings! Chris didnt write you a story about Benjamin Zepheniah did he! I did! :)

                                    Now, be quiet and eat your beans on toast. You're a growing boy you know.

                        • PMs are BACK, READY AND SEXY!

                          is what I should have named this thread. It's more exciting.

                          • Do you people

                            like really message each other and stuff? Patricide was good enough to write to me once, and bamos once sent me football-related abuse, and sadpunk (remember him?) and I sent each other a note once cos we realised that we didn't send or receive many notes.

                            I'm not paranoid or anything, but I think you are all talking about me behind my back.

                            All of you.

                                it's like in Donnie Brasco, you can't mention his name. Not now that he has been 'offed', n'all
