I didn't steal it, I joined the team. There's a difference!

I believe he suggested it first.

Believe, or know?

I did the research myself, and I can say with some certainty that it was not Erik.

Come on guys, try the other ones.

Malarame created the concept of DRODIS as an April Fool's Day joke. Exact post location is found here.

Oops. They were both mentioned in the same thread anyway, and I gave Gamer the points.

A hint for 7: Don't forget your brochure.

By Zinglon's Ale, that was evil.

The person who would enjoy a good ghreht sandwich is gamer_extreme_101, who wrote the guide to Fulce, part of which can be seen here.

Actually, the answer I had in mind was Denfry (whose full title is Denfry of Fulce) But close enough.

EDIT:

ack, I don't have enough rank points to mod you up further Watcher. I'll do that when I get more.

Nope, but you've got the company right. The person doing the sullying is Mike Rowe.

Yeah, I thought that would be too easy. Adding that post to my "To Do" list as well.

That's it for me. Since Watcher did such a great job (and solved #7) I give it to him.

Phrasing questions so they can't simply be Searched can be pretty tricky.

Not exactly. I searched DRODIS and found Malarame's post for the DRODIS idea and April Fools stuff. Then I didn't bother to post it yesterday, I was busy backing up my games onto a CD if my computer crashes. I should have bothered.

That was a great search Chaco! Really hard too. I can't wait for Watcher to post his search. I can't wait to see what he comes up with.

Well, for the modpoints, I got you covered considering I have quite a stash given to me by Erik. So, what'll it be Chaco? +1 or +2?

Keep posting,

Wait, did anyone figure out Chaco's #3 yet?

In any case, I've begun looking for stuff to search for. The list will be ready later today.

Okay, here we go:

1. A member whose avatar is a pumpkin carving. (Found by Ezlo.)
2. A post with a moderation score of +51. (Found by michthro.)
3. A post outside the "Guess the next poster" thread whose only content is the name of a forum member. (Punctuation and capitalization may be different.) (Found by TripleM.)
4. A post explaining why the original Webfoot DROD was impossible to complete. (Found by Hikari.)
5. An explanation of the apostrophe in "'Neather". (Found by TripleM.)
6. A picture of a newborn boy. (Found by michthro.)
7. A thread which at one point had a negative number of replies. (Found by Jason.)
8. A thread noting that one member's rank points isn't a whole number. (Found by Doom.)
9. A statement regarding the preferable length of a month. (Found by michthro.)
10. A statement that something beginning with P has been added to The City Beneath. (Found by TripleM.)

I should add that some of these are from quite old threads.

Yes to all three. For number 5, I was aiming for the official statement here, but TripleM's answer is also correct.

I'm now out of mod points, so I'll have to rely on other people to take care of further modding, I'm afraid.

I was going to just give you guys the answer, seeing as it was a bit too vague, but then I couldn't find it myself. So, nevermind.

Would Pathfind To count as starting with P? (also occurs here).
