Ah, cheers. Please excuse my ignorance.
Well, there is definitely no threadnecroing going on here. This post has been alive with people arguing & giving me useful advice since I first posted, 'Hi, i am a lowly Gaunt!'
So much so that i have thought about turning off the alerts to my e-mail when some one comments on my threads. Everytime i switch my computer on i have about 20 e-mail & i figure, wow, popular today klueless, then i realize that it's just people i don't know arguing on this site about whether the person who commented before is a woman or not.....
Ahhh, all good fun.
Keep up the good work people.
You bring smiles to my day.

And let's not even get into a discussion about gender identity and one's sex, because sometimes they can be completely different.

The amount of leg humping I get around here..

A friend of mine used to play a female character on Final Fantasy Online and was amazed at how much crap people would just give him. He thought it was quite hilarious.

Oh, hi Brook! I didn't see you on this thread! How's everything going? Your minis getting all painted? How's the weather? Yeah, pretty hot this time of year. Looking forward to next years world cup? Y'know, I lived in Europe. Joining any 'Ard Boyz tourneys? Wow, you know I've always said you are the best painter in all of DakkaDakka. . . .

THIS (see? I can do it too!)

OH MY GOD! Listen guy's & or girls, i started this thread with good honest intentions & now it seems to have gone completely out of my control with people being amazed about the fact that there is or could be a woman on the site! If you guys are REALLY that bothered whether there is or could be (& probably is/are) women on this site you really need to crawl out from the rock your all hiding under & get out more. I don't mean to be rude, but when i go out for 3 hrs then return to 52 e-mails, all of which contain people AMAZED at the fact that women might be on this site, it makes me wonder what kind of a world i have just stepped into & how bothered i really am about becoming a Genestealer in my ranking, which FYI was the original reason i posted this thread in the first place!!!
Throw me a bone here peep's!

This thread has forced me to change my profile setting as i am getting bombarded with mails from this thread & another from someone called 'Hillary' that i randomly said Hello to about a week ago.
Is this a FacePalm moment?
I'm pretty new to it but I think it might be.
Hope this works!

What? You're a chick too?

In all seriousness, yeah 52 emails in 3 hours is either Work or Facepalm. Good usage, Klueless.

I really dont get how someone's gender matters much on the interdweebs, unless it is just really coming across strong in their posts or something.

BrookM: you know, you left yourself open there iwth the leghumping comment. And I think that by now Go Fenris is pretty chaffed.

This such a funny thread.

Also, I wouldn't have the email function active if I were you. You'll probably get way more than necessary.

Nice Facepalm.

Actually, I'm having a blast. Sadly, at this point, this thread should probably be locked but, oh what a ride!

Don't be scared, this is the world of forum posting where a seemingly innocuous thread can suddenly spiral out of control like a helter-skelter mounted on a roundabout.

Okay then.

Thanks dude. I am glad you are enjoying it.
I have to say that I'm not that bothered about the flood of random mail i have received. More shocked at the.... skulky (in search of a better word) ness of some of the messages!
I hope that it doesn't get locked down. No-one is really being rude or anything like that.
Thanks for your time.

I didn't even realize that threads could be locked out...! Why would this happen? No-one is being rude that i have noticed, although there does seem to be lot's of petty school yard arguments happening. Don't lock me down, this thread has been my most popular so far & i have had little or nothing to do with it apart from being the original poster!

You are correct, no one is being rude its just WAY off topic and what more can be said about the topic that hasn't been said already. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if a Mod or two is just hoping it fades out on its own. Become a DCM, then you can make a cool handle like mine!

I like to think that every time it goes too off topic i draw it back. I am really not bothered at all whether I'm talking to men, women, kid's, donkey's or goats as long as they are polite & make things fun to read. I presume that by your post these 'MOD's' as you call them (which to me is the Ministry of Defence - UK Government) are watching us all the time, reading every post & judging who's words are worthy & who is cast a sunder..... That is quite apt really for the MOD. LoL! I'm sure it will fizzle out soon. If not, yahoo are probably going to have to employ extra staff to handle their servers to deal with the amount of mail i have been receiving!
As for being a DCM, how much am i expected to give?
I'm not a rich man. I would do it if it wasn't a silly amount.
Thanks.

Again, you are quickly becoming one of my favorite Dakkites! $25 for a year, there is a link on the front page of DakkaDakka near the bottom that will tell you all about it or just click this...

This thread is being locked because it has gotten quite off-topic from discussing Dakka ranks (which would have been better posted in the 'Nuts & Bolts' forum to start with anyway).

At this point, if you'd like to continue the discussion mainly about yourself or other random things, I'd suggest using the Introductions forum.
