peter file is actually my real name

They took great offence when I introduced myself and said I had been lurking for some time 🙁

Quality!

Remind me of the trolling invasion please - I vaguely remember it but not in great detail?

If true that must have made for a tedious childhood. my sypathies.

It involved Hora, didn't it? The rest can be left to the imagination.

Years and years ago someone hacked a chatroom and created a spoof profile of a sexy young woman. Men who chatted to 'Sexy Sue' were unaware that they were actually posting as 'Sexy Sue' so you'd get two men both posting believing the other was a young woman. The hack created a massive log of the correspondence, gentle innuendoes building to less subtle innuendos, until someone crossed a line and a massive argument would erupt, as each thought the other was trying to con them.

Could we create a hack where TJ [i]thinks[/i] he's posting on STW, but he's actually posting on Mumsnet, with the logs of the posts appearing on Pistonheads?

hehehhhehehehee I've just genuinely LOL'd in the office.

I don't believe that for one second, the differing language, motivations and attitude of the two sexes woudl become immediately strange and out of place.

mumsnet is why I don't hang around here much anymore. you can swear on there and everything 😀

I think Nick Clegg was a bit shocked when he did a live chat thing on there during the last election.

He'd probably be given even more abuse now, mind,

With thread titles like this! 🙂

Maybe it had something to do with DP......

Seriously though, if your surname was File, would you call your son Peter?

Probably go for Steven.

It's in the original post. Hidden under CILLIT BANG.

Pffft, I pity any fool unfortunate enough to be named Steven 🙂

It seems to be lost from the internet now, it was about 8 or 9 years ago. The log ran for pages and pages and pages, too much to read but there was a 'random' button to jump from page to page. some of the exchanges were pretty quick, but some could run for sometime - almost as if two groomers had locked horns.

no one introduced as Peter in that thread?

I was just joking about that part. It's easy enough to find a picture of me on here, a link to my blog and my email address. I don't need/want cyber harassment 🙂

So - top three UK forums?

Mumsnet

ARRSE is massive. Also responsible for getting Piers Morgan the sack. Gotta be up there.

I'm off to have a look at ARRSE right now, ooh err 🙂

I was actually amazed at how prolific STW is. Every time I google a query, STW has a thread on the first or second page of google (normally boring stuff like "how to get rid of windscreen smears" or "Is the Edinburgh Defence valid for murder")

overclockers.co.uk forum is up there at the top somewhere I think

Are those two connected in some way Peter?

are you from another planet..!?

I think it could very easily work..

Every character portrayed on any forum, male or female, is immediately strange and out of place..

Surely the very fact that a person chooses to socialise online has already marked them out as a bit of a social outcast.. It's highly unlikely that they are capable of spotting the subtle nuances between the personalities of a fish and a bicycle, let alone two members of the same species, whatever the gender.. (if such nuances actually exist outside of the realms of your mind)

I'm off to have a look at ARRSE right now, ooh err

I loves Mumsnet, I do.
I probably spend more time there than here, 'cos of the swearing and stuff. The relationships section makes for depressing reading, though - so much shit happening to so many people.

Are those two connected in some way Peter?

I've been advised not to make a statement.

I also refuse to comment on whether the "Cillit Bang on a cast iron bath" query is in any way connected with the other queries.

I'll only speak to McNulty.

They even have an acronym guide, because, quite frankly, no one seems to like sentences.

For example, when I was reading this absolutely tragic story about someone who decided to drink a bottle of CILLIT BANG, I was intrigued as to who this DS person was. Apparently, DS means "Darling Son".

Yup, just like STW, even down to not knowing was is and what isn't an acronym.

Still haven't worked out what HORA stands for.

google mumsnet and hora.
hit no.2 just screams of hora, lololololz

ARRSE is massive.

It's also a propaganda tool.

I commented in a discussion there many moons ago about some guy that had been shot on a UK range with a 5.56mm weapon in fully auto mode (I forget the weapon, it's not important). The accident occurred at very close range, and I commented how that would be particularly nasty as the NATO 5.56mm bullet is designed to yaw and break up over a certain velocity.

I was quickly intercepted by a serving member of the forces telling how that was nonsense, illegal, against the Geneva Convention etc. etc.

The thread went on with me provided links and evidence, but still this one guy would insist it was all lies.

No one joined to defend the unequivocal evidence.

I've not been on since.

Really? Have you looked in the NAAFI? or the badgers arrse?

hora stands for election

Woah!

Hold the front page. Are you telling us that a serving soldier knew more about firearms than some bloke off a special interest cycling forum?

You're right, this conspiracy must go all the way to the top.

Oh, you're serious.

hora stands for erection

<shudder>

I used to work in defence making stuff to track bullets, and i think the laws governing firearms are different for the forces and the police. Police shoot to kill, forces don't, and they use different bullets iirc.

Seems a strange topic on a forum for Mums though.

are you from another planet..!?

Venus? Or maybe Mars?

Nowt to do with me...leave me out of this! 😆

I once said to mrshora 'why dont you pose that question on mumsnet' and her answer 😯 me. Even she said they were nuts.

I can't believe ,that peterfile started a thread on MumsNet,about cars with big boot space.

Police shoot to kill, forces don't, and they use different bullets iirc.

I had a job working as a precognition agent for a criminal firm when I was at university (basically involves going to get statements from prosecution witnesses in the lead up to a trial).

Favourite part was precognosing firearms officers, they'd always give me a peek in the confiscated weapons room.

On my first outing, after a client had been shot by police, I asked whether they had "shot to kill or wound". The copper gave a chuckle and pointed out that it's not like it is on the telly, if someone has a gun in a public place and you're required to fire, you aim for the biggest bit (i.e. torso) and fire, repeating as necessary until the person is no longer a threat to others. Fortunately for our client, he dropped his weapon (involuntarily it would seem) after only being shot once (and grounded by a dog) 🙂

cars with big boot space

I could find alot of mileage(!) in that topic... 8)

Is STW really one of the biggest forums on the internet?

I would be interested to know what the top 5 are genuinely - ie not just an educated guess.

I don't know what five-0 use but the forces use a standard 5.56x45mm Ball round.

The Polis are allowed hollow points,

I though it was specifically the anti-terrorism lot, as terrorists are outside of the Geneva convention.

I think we should routinely arm the PCSO's whilst Police should stick to truncheons.

That is just because Google "knows" you spend a lot of time here and tend to follow search results that lead here. Personalised Search see?

You wouldn't necessarily get the same results on a PC you'd never used before that wasn't logged in to any of your Google accounts.

Really?

I feel violated in a sort of helpful way.

I can understand the principle behind it, but surely that narrows your exposure to the WWW in effect? And how come exgirlfriendmarket doesn't show up more often when I search since I spend as much time there as I do on STW?

You have to belong to the Google ad network thingy, it doens't do it for all sites. They don't advertise for you for free.

Is STW really one of the biggest forums on the internet?

Big - no. High profile - maybe. It definitely comes up in google searches a lot, but maybe they know I spend a lot of time on here.

Dunno. Google magic. Maybe it doesn't have a decent PageRank?

google 'knows'

So will it offer me asian babes in unusual positions? How come there are no ads for related products on there? 8)

Pretty sure your average gun-toting crim isn't covered by the Geneva convention.

[miltary geek]I think the exemption is for the likes of the SAS who are sometimes called in to deal with terrorists like the Iranian Embassy in 1980. They are allowed to use hollow points and other special ammo in these situation, primarily as the don't want FMJ bullets passing through a terrorist and then a hostage, or through a wall and an innocent on the other side. They extra stopping power is a bonus. Police use hollow points for similar reasons[/military geek]

I used to be in the Army.

Now I'm intrigued. You mean if we all googled the same phrase we would end up with different ordered lists?

Can we try?

say...

"homeopathic healthcare"

2) www.keriwilliams.net

3) www.keriwilliams.net/?page_id=10

The Google search thing stands in the way of my fundamental use of the internet. I want a balanced view of the world! I now use other search engines.

But, FOR SCIENCE, my google results...:
Homeopathic Healthcare

2)a book on Amazon
3)A journal on Springer

The Geneva Conventions apply in wars between two or more sovereign states.

The geneva convention wouldn't apply to bank robbers, hostage takers etc. It actually doesn't apply to most of the Taliban either as they'd be classed as mercenaries.

Possibly. Depends what related stuff you've looked at.

Yes, this is why Google is directly contributing to extremism in all forms. And probably terrorism too.
