I was just wondering how much money was raised for the Radio 1 Longest Show ever (with Chris and Dave) during different shows. Only took a mental note but during Scotts show on the 2nd day I think it seems to go up loads. I think from about that point it really shot up during the day time shows.

Anyone else geeky like me and wondering??

I think they cheated a bit, but when Fearne announced the bikini thing, that was by far the biggest jump -- £600,000 in "10 minutes". It wasn't really 10 minutes, but it was a ton of money.

Seriously? Another thread? We'll probably have a thread for each hour soon

[Yudster]

Mr Yudster worked out that over the last three hours or so they raised about £111 per SECOND.

I might merge this thread as well if there are no objections...

[catherine]

You love to faff around don't you ?

[Nicola_Red]

I do, yes. Like Toph said, it's an OCD thing. But I know some people don't like mods doing basically anything that isn't deleting spam, so I'm trying to check with everyone first, or wait til it's suggested by someone else (or leave it to Chris or Console, of course).

[neilt0]

I'm a mod on another forum, and I'd have merged it yesterday without consulting anyone! MOD POWER!

[MK Chris]

Merging threads is one thing.... editing other people's posts is entirely another.

rabble rabble.

nic, you should've remained anonymous with your powers.

now you're facing the same problems as the heroes in the incredibles.

I'm certainly okay with the tidying up, and the editing of posts. You're obviously very responsible, otherwise you wouldn't be a mod, so I don't see any problem.

Actually the moderators were expected to be anonymous on the forum I moderated before. There was a lot of "oh I bet it's so-and-so" which was just stupid - I wouldn't want that pressure again. And of course I'm not editing people's posts other than to fix broken quotes/pics (as Chris and Console do).

[Travis Bickle]

I have been reading this board for a fair while and I don't think that it needs any significant moderation as things stand. The only criticism I have is that too often threads get needlessly taken off topic (as this has, but I'll make an exception here ) far too easily with total waffle, which is particularly unnecessary when there is a section dedicated to rambling.

Other than that and one semi regular troll that should be banned I say leave it as it is.

PS, in order to keep things in this section on topic I would rename it "Chris Moyles Show Discussion" or words to that effect. General is too er, general.

[DevilsDuck]

Kit Kat or twix?

[bmstinton93]

I like it when things go off topic

And kit Kat > twix

[Nicola_Red]

Me too. Going off topic has been a tradition as long as I've been a member here!

[McGuinness-89]

The day things stop going off topic is the day this place dies.


Matt Smith > David Tennant

[chrysostom]

Tennant will always be my doctor.

Only got into Doctor Who when he first came on the scene. I'm still devastated that my ex took the lifesize cardboard cut-out we had of him.

[McGuinness-89]

My first episode of Doctor Who was David Tennant's first episode, I only recorded it to test out my new DVD recorder which I got for Christmas and the rest is history. But Matt Smith is just incredible, he plays the Doctor as a alien, which he is. I await the day they are on screen together.

Time for the thread lock and key me thinks!

[chrysostom]

Time for the thread lock and key me thinks!

am i right in thinking this is the first time this has ever been suggested on this forum?

why bother locking a thread when it's stimulating inoffensive conversation.

Matt Smith is just incredible, he plays the Doctor as a alien, which he is.

true, but he's been with the human race for many many years, which is why i liked it when tennant seemed to understand humans, and empathise - then occasionally step outside his earth loving ways.

looking forward to the next series.

[bmstinton93]

I don't see anything wrong with this conversation. Besides, it was a stupid thread which we have made drastically better

[Nicola_Red]

Anyone who thinks a thread needs locking just cos it's wandered off topic hasn't been around here long enough.

[McGuinness-89]

BAN HIM!!!

[VMPhil]

That's a strange decision to take. Off topic threads should be locked as soon as the off-topicness gets out of hand, which it clearly has here.

Obviously you people haven't heard of internet forum etiquette, or netiquette for short.
