Unofficial Draft Guide to RFF

Was I the only one that felt a little badly for the MN team member who tried to get our input in order to help build a guide for this forum recently? That didn’t go as planned!

Am in the only one who laughed about Justine’s “The Royal family forum
is deranged” comment and can take it in stride? That thread was definitely an example!

I am proposing we try again and help crowd source a guide. I just ask that we don’t be so RFF, and have a sense of humor while we do so. I’ll paste my draft attempt below. Everyone is welcome to contribute however they like.

Who knew Camilla and Jeff were the same person, although come to think of it I've never seen them in the same room.

Neither have I!!!!! 😱

Which is why looking for subtext fails!

I wouldn’t worry, between you and me …I don’t always get it either 🤷‍♀️ , I do try and make mine relevant to my posts to a certain degree but obviously, different people have different interests, tastes and context , I’m a bit of a movie and tv buff , so those tend to be my go to , others like music and memes and although I hate to say this ( and it’s not a negative) I believe age plays a part to understanding certain contexts.

Well at least you have heard of it!! , maybe it’s an age thing ( being a similar age to me perhaps?) 🤔.

Omg that takes me back

I loved Hong Kong Phooey!! Hong Kong Phooey Number one super guy, Hong Kong Phooey quicker than the human eye!

I loved how he always thought he solved the crime when in fact it was always his cat, ahh great memories.

I will ask our longtime poster and friend, resident republican and bestower of the most robust and witty comments @CathyorClaire! What is your opinion of this post?
edit to add..i didn’t include you autumn because you are not as ( hardcore?) as Cathy 😁

Edited

If you really want to know I think there's more than a grain of truth in it.

I'm a little intrigued by the allegations of off-site collusion but 20+ years of forum experience have taught me it's often a thing. I don't partake. Private/off-site stuff rarely ends well IME.

Re. nicknames. I got my arse handed to me for using 'Willy' or 'Duke of Doolittle' as nicknames for our demonstrably lazy heir and have refrained from them (despite relentless provocation) ever since so would prefer the favour to be returned.

Thanks all 🙂

Well !! , I have discovered that on Reddit there is a place called mn trolls and …yes they discuss posters on here!! , I’m mentioned in very (un) flattering terms! 😁 …I’m a man …I’m really Jeff goldblum ….im Camilla…I’m an unspecified royal….., I won’t reveal other named posters but it was slightly surreal to say the least!! 🤣

Oh my! I never venture onto Reddit, I don’t understand how it works! I wonder how many of us regulars have reached such legendary status as to be discussed, and true identities dissected on said forum! I wonder what it is about you Jeff that gives you a Camilla vibe? 😂

Not really the focus of your comment but I agree that leaving nicknames behind would be a positive thing for the forum.

Thanks Cathy , I always like to know your opinion on these things, obviously I’m not subject to the same kind of comments, personally I have no objection to “Willy “ or “duchess Doolittle “ however thats only me ! , also apologies because I certainly didn’t mean to coin a nickname for you .

Noted and offering up my apologies. I was indulging in a bit of silliness, nothing more. No offence intended.

Also, I don’t think you’re that hardcore! 😊

Actually I really don’t, not after a rather alarming virus piggybacked onto my laptop, I’m not risking my phone! , I don’t even click on most of the things linked by anyone on here 🤷‍♀️

I don't blame you. I remember a while ago someone on here posted a link to a survey about the royals. The results seemed to be leaning heavily one way, and the person who shared it said someone was skewing the poll because a huge number of votes were coming from one particular area of London. Whether that was actually true or not, it completely freaked me (and a lot of the other people taking part) out. Just the fact they could apparently tell where the votes were coming from felt really unsettling.

Yes it’s very important to be careful! , I still remember that mn trainee who , harvested and posted posters details on the net and outed hundreds of posters!!! , I’m not trusting anything or any website without checking first!
