well id like yo say this is a bit periferal importance, and in many ways it is. But in other respects it is worth a serious look.
but 1st off, Id take issue with the PP way of ordering things. K, some may not like it. However, it was an attempt to do things a lil differently and not just take wot was on offer from the 'virtual' shelf and it showed a imagination and a bit of humour. MatT ( for those that dont know the creator of pp.com) has recieved a great deal of abuse for his 'neglect' of bocking. Few fuly realise that as a 16yo he created the site as a '2nd choice' for a school project!! Now yep he was a pretty intelligent 16yo but still the wwhole project rather overwhelmed, or seems so to moi. Id add that if any1 deserves 'elite' or 'superkangeroo' status its that guy. I dunno if he bocks much anymore, Id fully understand if he doesnt. But a pity if he has hung up his stilts cos he is now, as a student at camberidge, now surrounded by a bunch of folks that could give him some real fun in this sport.
But others too have made contributions to this sport. I dont mean sales. I mean the sport, which is actually a very small part of these stilts. Locky, Athoul and Becky stand out and still do along with XS ( tho him on 'the other forum'). Not so noticable nowadays ET, Kiola and Stevie or Lukey. They actually in 1 or more ways moved us on in serious ways, by organisation or insperation.
But its got nothing to do with the number of posts they made. Neither has the mathematical culmination of their input added to the quality of this site. But a few of theirs, and others, have.
Occasionally, I believe, the insite of a noob should rocket them to 'elite' status.
But as this sport has spread, sites like this have lost some of their 'virtual' importance as debate moves to regional forums. Which is both good and bad/sad. especially as we have not managed ( or am I missing things--wouldnt suprise moi) to find a working method of coordination. But heyho.
Finally Ill get to my point. Names/titles? wot for? Its what 1 is doing and going to do, not what 1 has done, or said in the past.
I think Ive posted some valuable points, Ive also posted far more dross, fun , fluff , boringness, unintelligable and quite interesting, but ultimatly useless stuff. I dont feel any of it should be used to 'rate' me.
Dont have any rating system. we all just bockers
