no Helen said that Jim picked those that he thought contributed the most to the site.
Lol well it's such a con. Everyone else contributes and they go an pick a load of nice people to represent us all. I've a good mind to write to the papers about this!
but yeah we are favourites
Aww, I'm sure your dancing was lovely
well how lucky that koe got picked out of the "draw" too and then GWST and Kermit also happened to be picked out :chin:
No well obviously one or the other was picked. Would be hard to invite one without the other.
This is true, but there were loads more than us. It's just we got drawn out from them that got picked.
I'm ashamed of the rest of them though. Didn't even leak me the details so i could gatecrash. Shame on you :razz:
Yet rarely post, if at all anymore.
C'est la vie. Hope you all had a good time and rinsed it for whatever you could - I know I would have. :razz:
Hm I dont think thats particularly fair. Ellie and David have contributed an immense amount. Especially to the Home and Money forum and...I didnt tell you for your own safety. Security was tight. Shoulda seen the size of the bouncers!! :nervous:
haha, but saying that, apparently one of them was doing a MA in fine art...wasnt what i was expecting but then perhaps I am bouncerist!
No need to be miffed Lipsy, there will be more things in the future I am sure.
Totally, but a big thread in Anything Goes with everybody getting excited about it would've pissed a good few people off more than pictures would, y'know?
I know people were a bit apprehensive of posting photos of it incase other people thought they were rubbing it in.
Funny pics.. looks like it was a .. fun night :razz:
Lol why would we be bothered that there are posters deemed of higher worth than the rest of us? Last time i looked we all contributed to the forums and it's fuckin cheeky that a few of you were singled out as better than the rest of us. I for one can't think of anything worse than a ball or spending a night with the mods but on principle i think it's slightly out of order.
There are supposed to be more balls coming up over the next year or so, so fundraising permitting hopefully we'll be able to invite some other people next time. Who knows maybe we can even try to organise something to thank a much bigger group of users seperately... I'll see what I can think up.
Well I kinda think it's fuckin cheeky that we are being singled out like we should feel guilty or something. Like Bri said we weren't being sneaky or sly by not mentioning it on here, we just didn't want to rub it into people's faces. The tickets were pretty expensive hence not everyone being invited so there was obviously going to be a limited number of places.
If you can't think of anything worse then spending an evening with the mods then why are you so pissy? Yeah we had a laugh and had a good time as you can see. Don't get at us over it. I'm sure you can PM Jim if you are that narked about it.
Lol there is so much wrong with that i can't even be bothered to put together a half decent reply. It wasn't you or anyone that went i had a problem with, the fact that they put together something and kept it secret like that. As i said it's not something i'd fancy personally but it doesn't stop me thinkin it's out of order.
Fair statement, but how were people chosen?
Was it shortlisted or something and then the selected few were the ones who came out of the hat?
And believe me, it was a hard decision - and there will be things again in the future that other people will be in the hat for again
Woah there horsey. I was not pissed off that i wasn't chosen. Can i just make that 100% clear lol. It's the sneaky way it was done like. Way it's been made to sound is that they were chosen because they made the most contribution to the boards. How do you work that out!? Ok so you've just said how you worked that out. Still bit iffy though.
I think the thing to bear in mind was that it wasn't the 'most' contribution - it was a very long list of lots of people who contribute and then people came out of the hat for the majority of the places. After all we were hardly going to invite monocrat
I don't believe you tbh. Like coincidence that Mr & Mrs TheSite came out of the hat don't wash. But whatever innit, looked like a good night for those that went
So... photos anyone?
I think Bri is uploading his tonight. Either that or he lied to us :grump:
Or maybe I should kill Jim and Helen first. How dare they???
Nice to see my words nicely twisted there Lipsy!
Funny, I actually kept the transcript from tonight's chat as Dom is interested in seeing how the chats are going. What I actually said was:
"Basically Jim and I made a long list of the people who we think have contributed really well to TheSite and then we had to whittle it down to 8 invites - it was tough - and as Jim says there's always going to be people who feel left out.
