I've found a really good way to boost your poll count - just add a reply quoting a post without adding anything to it! smile.gif

I love deadlines.

I especially like the noise they make as they go whooshing by!


Current toy: MDA Vario 3 (Kaiser) with 8Gb MicroSD card and my own WM6.1 ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383158 )
Being joined by a Qtek 8500 (it was too cheap to refuse). Can't see the standard ROM lasting more than 24 hours when it arrives...

Previous toys: MDA Vario 2 (Hermes), SPV M500 (Magician), SPV C500 (Typhoon), SPV (Canary), some other phones before I saw the WM light!! :)

Oh, sorry! That one's already been mentioned. Guess I should've read the post before replying to it wink.gif

Also, don't forget that if you have any corrections you need to make to one of your posts - don't edit the last post, JUST ADD A NEW ONE!

That way, not only do you look much more involved in the conversation (when you actually added nothing and looked like a pleb) but your poll count goes through the roof! smile.gif

I was going to just say that this is funny, but then I realised that if I left it at that then my post would be a lot shorter than my signature - so I've had to add a bit of stuff in to just pad things out and stop me from looking like I'm just trying to get my post count up. There, no not even that is enough is it? Maybe I could add something witty to this but then again I'd have to put it in CAPITALS to make sure people read it amongst all this uselessness. I guess I'll just..........have.........to..........pad.....my..........post..............out
...............a.......
.........bit............to................make...........it.............appear..
............longer.


There, I think that should do it. Nice work Beersoft smile.gif

The problem may be that the people who read these kinds of threads are the people who are annoyed by daft posts, not the people who are making the daft posts! :twisted:
