I think the origin of calling it that is related to making a post "sticky" or "pinned", an admin function which keeps it at the top of a thread or sub-forum no matter how long it's been there. A thumb-tack artificially puts a post to the front of the chronological queue.
I learned something else today, I had wondered what "sticky" meant?


And Rockfords tack/pushpin was lol.

Thumbtack



Pushpin


I would agree with you Jim but when I was trying to figure out the original postnmany sites called "pushpins" thumbtacks.

Hey, KNathan. Someone pointed out that a clown is spoofing me at your forum. I'm not a member there. And I don't appreciate what they said as me. How about you do something about that?

Some bloody chance. Karen hasn't even deleted post #1 from her good friend. I doubt it's even her forum and I expect that she has no moderator privs there.
That first poster, who purported to be Kentry, is probably the only one that she could conclusively identify.

So, I was playing on my Roulette App and the wheel stopped on 27, practically the same time that a guy randomly mentioned that the bus we were on went straight down 27th avenue. ;) I went to a gas station and bought 27 front pair Pick 4 and 27 box Pick 2. :)

So, no word on the previous two posts, or how "kentry" was the first post on that board, just after you started it, 30 days before you publicly announced it?

Personal insult -- three-day suspension.

We haven't had a suspension here for a while.


Boz was suspended December 10th. It's about to be the 17th. He's on now, still in red.
