    Maybe it's because I've been playing Pokemon Diamond so much lately, but I see all these ID numbers mentioned and it makes me think about a Pokedex. Ozformers, gotta catch 'em all!

    Like any board, we've got out registered lurkers and semi lurkers like Onoj (who I believe is yet to post on this board, but does post on occasion).

    Plus there's the 14 attempted registrations by Saber Prime/the doctor!


    Eagerly waiting for Masterpiece Meister

    isnt there any way to fully restrict rego to griff, so only true registrations are included? id hate to see the member number balloon again - on the old board i was member 598 and joined dec 06, and the newest member was number 6509!!!!

    nearly 6000 regos in a yr :/

    Registration. Australians don't like words with more than two syllables so they're often contracted to 1 or 2 syllables - usually with "-ie" on the end but "Reggie" is already a contraction for "Reginald" so it's contracted as "rego" instead.

    e.g.
    registration -> rego
    vegetables -> vegies
    underwear -> undies

    ...it gets weirder in Japanese...
    Transformers (Toransufoomaa) -> Torafo
    Starscream (Sutaasukuriimu) -> Sutasuku
