Dear Members,

R.G., the owner of the Yahoo ‘PaddledAtSchool’ group has invented a very useful device. He calls it a ‘Posting Tracker’. It gives R.G. instant access to information concerning the number of contributions made to his group over a given period. Statistics are then posted on the home page together with a few words of encouragement written by R.G. himself. His ‘monthy’ target is 100 posts. For clarification and the avoidance of doubt, here below are a few examples taken from R.G’s writings:

-------------------------------------------------------

Members of this Forum will be delighted to know that we have acquired a Posting Tracker. Our target has been realistically set at five (5) posts each month. Over the next few hours I will monitor the number of contributions that are sent in and will report back to members at regular intervals.

You guys are smokin’ this month! (I don’t know what this last sentence means, but if it’s good enough for R.G., it’s good enough for me).

You is wrong Rogee – me and my mats reckons totale postes is 12 – Conditione RED
Anyway Gilane say you was too busy for our foro

Are my Junkposts included in the statistics?

What about the hundreds of messages that are deleted by the moderators? Are you counting them in the total?

JunkPosts are most definitely included in the statistics. Deleted messages are given a value of 0.337.

Well done, members! We only need another 476 posts to reach our target.

Could someone give a rundown about RGs' group? I went to the site,but after seeing some of the questions asked and the requirements for membership,decided not to join. I got the impression that free speech was not allowed or welcomed in RGs'little world. In other words,if you don't agree with RG,don't bother joining.

Dear Bob,

Hereunder, the home page of R.G’s group. After a second reading you may change your mind about not joining. Although I was described by Jon Kinky in the ‘Curious’ thread as ‘soppy, sentimental’ and ‘lovely’, I have no qualms whatsoever about ripping off R.G’s stuff.

R.G. displays a tendency towards megalomania that is almost as great as that shown by Carl and his Mats. Messages to the group are generally of the ‘finger-lickin-good, down home, butt-whuppin’ variety. Some of our members have composed a few messages for the group and these can be seen towards the end of the ‘New Yahoo Group’ thread, currently near the foot of this page. Please let me know if you would like me to copy any of R.G’s redneck, red-assed stuff.

Gillian

Thanks Gillian; I think it was the part that comes after PROHIBITED that put me off. I also thought it might be a haven for pedophiles (is George a member?).If that is not the case then I may reconsider.

I also noticed that "pants" stories were not prohibited.

The above figure may not be accurate. The Posting Tracker appears to have suffered a malfunction within the last hour.

Since the publication of Gillian’s memoirs, 24 members have resigned.

You guys are smokin’ and strokin’ this year!

I have just seen R.G's latest tracker and am overawed.

Here it is:

You guys are smokin' this month!!SPECIAL COUNTDOWN TO 200: 200! On Nov. 23! Congrats to PAS member Deandra1975 for making the big post!

Gillian; I am finding that I get more email responses to posts on rg's group than I get on the forum.I haven't seen any posts from you on there.

Dear Bob,

It would be interesting to know from which part of the world come the e-mail message responses to your posts on R.G’s group. Am I right in thinking that they are sent mainly by your fellow American citizens?

I do not contribute to the group. I have little in common with the butt-roastin’, paddle-mad, ass-lickin’ good, down-home, homesteadin’ etc. etc. folks that do.

Gillian

Gillian; I am finding that I have very little in common with the butt roastin' mentality of RG's members. And you are right in assuming that the emails are coming from America. You Brits seem to have better manners than some of my fellow countrymen/women.Also, I don't understand why they would take the trouble to email me and not post on the forum when they are going for a record this month.

Dear Bob,

You are a true Anglophile!

I am confident that you will remain steadfast, loyal and true to our Happy Circle until the day that it is closed down.

Gillian

Gillian; You are in danger of losing your mean and cruel reputation. I like the sweet and lovely Gillian better.

I hope there are no plans to close the forum in the future.Just seeing the words sent a shock through me.

Dear Bob,

I am sorry to have misled you. Please ignore my comment about closure.

Readers should also disregard the first two paragraphs of Roger’s ‘One Year On’ message, which is currently on Page 5. His observation in the third paragraph, however, is indeed valid. During the spring and summer of this year we received many messages from a quite disturbed individual whose writings displayed a wide range of emotions. He has not contributed lately and I hope that writing to us has helped him through what must have been a difficult time.

Gillian

Dear Gillian; After reading a number of the posts on RG's forum,I have come to the conclusion that it is literally infested with spanko teachers(and lawyers).I always suspected that teachers had ulterior motives for using CP for such trivial offenses.In fact,I resented their light hearted attitude when it came to CP (before,during,and after).After all they were indulging (the definition of that word is so appropriate)in one of their favorite activities.Such an infestation is a sad commentary on the unrestricted use of CP in the school system.I think these teachers should be identified and publicly exposed,so they will no longer be in a position to abuse our children.

P.S. The state of Missouri now has a bill up before the State House of Rep.(House Bill 276)for banning CP in all public schools in MO.

Congratulations to Big R.G. and his butt-paddlin’ butt-paddlers on achieving 300 posts this month. To his members this happy man writes:

1 month.
29 days.
300 posts!!

And did anyone notice that along the way we broke through the great 5000 Post mark? Beyond 300 in a month...beyond 5000 posts.The members of PAS are one terrific bunch of people. With apologies to Dick Vitale….You're Awesome, Baby!!It illustrates what this membership can do when you want to really rock. I've long said that what makes this group what it is, is the membership. This little niche of the web has become the best, most authoritative source of information for it's [sic] particular mission. I know of no other place that one can go and learn as much, in so many different aspects, about school corporal punishment in the American system. It's all due to you. It's a special place, and you're special people for making it happen.

Thank you so much, again, for being part of PAS.

Roger: If you were to invest in an updated version of the Posting Tracker you might get somewhere!

RG must have been deeply offended by my earlier post about the spanko teachers on his forum.He has chosen not to approve my latest post on his forum.I'm sure it conformed to his rigid standards and would have generated responses,so I must assume he is unhappy with me.I guess my experience with CP in school has left me with some strong views on who should and who should not be entrusted with the job of disciplining children.And just for 'clarification and the avoidance of doubt'.Teachers who have an interest in CP websites,should not be allowed to practice their fetishes on our children.Who in most cases have no choice in the matter and have no say in the severity of their punishment.If there were strict regulations and all the spanko's were cleared out,reasonable CP might be an effective tool in the school.
But in the past,the teaching profession was a magnet for men and women who took pleasure in administering CP
to boys and girls bottoms.And the membership on RGs forum proves that it still is.And I know all to well how easily it is covered up and laughed off as sour grapes on the part of the abused child.After all,who wouldn't be unhappy about getting paddled/caned at school?It's a perfect cover for the abuser.I could go on ad infinitum about this subject,but I think I have made my point.

Dear Bob,

If Big R.G. ‘don’t approve’ then he ‘don’t approve’. You should have followed his instructions to READ TWICE the warning on the home page.

Very often Carl and his Mats ‘don’t approve’, but the message gets published anyway.

Gillian

Having seen the results that the latest version of the Posting Tracker can achieve for R.G., I set out hot-foot for P.C. World earlier today and purchased the XP Pro Edition – a snip at only £299.99.

This new software shows that we have already reached our target of 6000 posts for December.

POSTING TRACKER – Condition: Really Rockin’. Total Posts: 5

It’s a special place.

It would seem that RG was just behind on approving posts, and I haven't been banned from his group after all.He may reconsider if he reads my posts on this thread.

You guys just ain’t a-smokin’ this month.

The Posting Tracker is undergoing essential maintenance between 19.00 today and 06.00 on 27 December and so, rather than disappoint readers, I have given statistics from the Posting Tracker of R.G.


Condition: GREEN-Satisfactory
Yesterday: 12/23/2003-----Needed: N/A-----Total Posts: N/A
Needed TODAY: 7 for a monthy total of 212
Over the top on Dec. 12 with 100 posts! We need 15 more to reach 220. We need 7 each day to stay on that track. NOTE: Almost there! Can we have a (relevant) posting spree and drive the goal home?

Countdown to Busting 2002!-- 205 Down...15 to go!

The figures show that we now have visitors from over one hundred countries to our Happy Circle.

The vast majority are in the United Kingdom, followed by the United States, Australia, Ireland, France and Germany.

I am delighted to see that Anna from Denmark has visited us ninety-three times so far this month.

It is quite possible that some people reach us by accident. There has been just one viewer, or several if they are all gathered around the same monitor, in November from each the following countries:

Ethiopia, Dominican Republic, Lithuania, Burkino Faso, Togo.

The Posting Tracker shows we have had many visitors this evening who are members of a well-known fetish site.

Welcome to you all!

Keep viewing, keep posting!

RG now contributes to several flagellation fora and continues to sign himself ‘RG of PAS’ despite the fact that his horrible group was blasted off the Net months ago.

No so. There is PAS_2 with members going like hot cakes and RG. You join. Yes please.

Just saw this thread about my old group and the "Posting Tracker" that I was using.

Not being one who takes himself too seriously, this thread is hilarious!

Glad that I gave a y'all a good laugh.

RG of PAS

It’s mighty good to hear from you, RG. You have been an inspiration to us and in recognition of this I am delighted to confer upon you Honorary Life Membership of our Happy Circle.

Keep on trackin!

I am delighted to be able to tell you that our Happy Circle has received two hundred posts this month (only two of which have been deleted) and that the person in Denmark has visited nine hundred and four times.

As RG, Roger of PAS, used to say:

“You guys are really smokin’ and pokin’ this month!”

Our viewing figures have rocketed today thanks to all those visits by the people of Peacehaven.

Keep visiting!

156 posts since February 1st. and it’s still only the 15th.!

"You guys are really smokin', pokin' and cokin' this month!" (RG of PAS)

205 posts since March 1st. and it’s still only the 25th.!

"You guys are really smokin', pokin', cokin' and fokin' this month!" (RG of PAS)

387 posts in March!

Are you guys smokin’ or what?

380 posts in April!

You guys were really smokin’, but not smokin’ quite as much as you were smokin’ in March.

Keep smokin’!

401 posts in May!

You guys weren’t just smokin’, you were burnin’!

486 posts in August!

The Posting Tracker now shows the goof content for each month and this, due mainly to the contributions of members recently enrolled, is unfortunately running at 80%.

There were over 500 posts made to the Forum in October. Only 56, from William and Laurey Intercourse in Singapore, were deleted.

It is good to have George, who lives by a lake within thirty miles of Chesterfield, writing for us again.

November was a bonza month with 455 posts and just 20 members BANNED.

In accordance with the Forum Rules as laid down by Big Ray’s Old Mum, Brian 4 has had his posting allocation increased to 2000 per month.

There were over 400 posts made to this Forum in June. As many as 6% were on the subject of school corporal punishment.

You guys are really mokin' and stokin'.

That many on the subject? Wow! It's hard to believe!

The Posting Tracker is undergoing a line upgrade at the moment, and so the following figures for July were supplied by the re-commissioned previous tracker, Failtrack, formerly British Rail.

Posts: 450. Down on the month, up on the year.
Viewings: Thousands. Up on the month, down on the year.

Condition: Sunshine ahead.

You guys were really smokin’ illegally last month.

There were over three hundred posts made to this Happy Circle during August, despite the fact that two of our most prolific contributors (Jetta and Gary Price) were away on holiday.

A special thank you goes to the person in Canada who makes many thousands of visits, but never posts.

Viewing figures have rocketed since the return of Special K from the Urals.

Stop jetting, keep posting!

Up on the week, up on the year, but down on the month.

C’mon you guys, get to smokin’.

Down on the week, up on the month, up on the year.

The number of visitors from the U.S.A. has increased tenfold of late. They may be followers of Yahoo Answers, in which case a warm welcome to the wonderful Gerta P whose writing is greatly admired here in Sussex.

Keep answering!

Viewing figures for May were up, up, up again thanks to all those down-home folks who came to us via Y.A. A big HELLO to spanking mum and cross-stitcher, Becky.

Keep visitin’! Start postin’!

Up on the year, up on the month, up on the week, down on the day.

There were almost 350 posts in June, and at least 11% of them were on the subject of school corporal punishment. Keep postin!

A hearty welcome to a new visitor from Latvia.

Condition: Hot, hot, hot!

Thanks to the activities of two new ‘Fun Posters’ the Posting Tracker is in danger of overheating. These chaps, posting under many names, have brought the Forum to the point of breaking the world record for the number of contributions received in a single month. There have, however, been complaints from Togoland and Honor Oak and it is not certain that the fun will continue after the 31st. July.

For clarification and the avoidance of doubt, our Honorary Life Member J.M.H. was not a ‘Fun Poster’; he was a ‘Fun Bummer’.

Dear RG Tracker,
Since I could possibly be one of the two new Fun Posters you are referring to,could you please clarify what these "complaints" by Anons. are?
And what the deadline mentioned is all about?
Admittedly I write under several different names,but this is to make the topics more interesting and varied but always on the subject as much as possible. And always as close to the truth as possible.
You said yourself that we two(I don't know who the other chap is)have brought this Forum to new heights.
So if you listen to these two "complainers" who want to sink this Forum into mediocrity I think would be a mistake.
You could always make a"Complaints Section" Topic so any problems will be discussed and amended where possible.
I wait for your answer.

Oh dear Eric, you could be in big trouble! Were you not aware of Rule 23b concerning the nom-de-plume limitation that has applied to all members since 2004? I'd suggest that you try little by little to absorb the rule book of this estimable forum. Unfortunately it has to be admitted that the said tome makes the average IBM technical manual seem like easy reading!

Eric is not one of our two Fun Posters.

For clarification and avoidance of doubt, future contributions from the funposting Fun Posters will be edited to show whether they be the work of Fun Poster 1 or Fun Poster 2.

 

That's better.
But could you please tell us what this dreaded deadline of 31st July(only 3 days away)is all about.
Or is it so Top Secret that we have to wait for the said date for the BOMB to drop?
At least we would have two days in which to make amends.
Sorry for bothering you Mr.(Mrs./Miss)Manager.

July 31st is the day on which the subscriptions of Fun Poster 1 and Fun Poster 2 are due for renewal.

As Mervyn Griffiths-Jones had it many years ago:

“Is a forum with Fun Posters something that you would want your wife or even your servant to read?”

It would be helpfull if people posting under different names were named by the P T
Perhaps then this practise would cease.
In other words if the party of the first part, is sometimes the party of the second part then perhaps the party of the third part could let all the other parties know so that we can all have some kind of party.

There were over six hundred posts in July.

The previously enthusiastic visitor from Latvia appears to have lost interest, but I am pleased to see that Honorary Life Member Anna dk is still with us.

Going: good to firm (as Lotta would say).

A not insubstantial total of 350 contributed contributions were contributed in August, despite the fact that prolific poster Jetta is busy relocating from Constantinople to Thornton Heath and slightly less prolific poster Gary Price is still on holiday.

Can anyone suggest why Messrs Network 54's software would think that this foro is a suitable target for a secret recipe for Hawaiian Chicken Barbecue?

Great question, alaric! I thought long and hard about this one. This answer is that one of our Honorary Life Members, Gerta P, is a well-known housewife in Colorado and as such attracts a large number of Coloradian and Thornton Heath housewives to this foro. The word in the Rockies is that you can smell her beef regina all the way from Denver to Idaho Springs. Hope this helps.

Welcome to a new reader in the Netherlands whose visits have raised the figures by 42%.

The viewing figures for Germany rocketed during October thanks to the visits by Hans (known as Dirty Hans) in Konigswinter.

Are you sure it wasn't Hans' niece, Anna Bumpsadaisy?

The figures for November are amazing.

Thank you, wonderful contributors!

Thank you, wonderful advertisers!

Thank you, wonderful Network54.com!

Thanks to those people in Macau, French Polynesia and Guantanamera.

There were over 760 posts in January and thanks to readers in Italy, Greece and Switzerland, viewing figures have exceeded all expectations.

thanks to readers in Poland and the Czech Republic.

March figures are up thanks to thousands of views in Germany, where lives one of our Honorary Life Members.

Bahrain 137 Korea 892 Germany 5008 Thornton Heath 79000

The Posting Tracker overheated in May because of the many thousands of views by readers in Bahrain, Denmark and our Honorary Life Member in Germany. This month we have already received 117 posts and another malfunction can be expected.

Please,

Stop postin'!

Stop viewin'!

As predicted, the Posting Tracker overheated again. I realise now that I should not have taken it down to the beach. In addition, the number of fun posts from fun-posting fun-posters increased in June to such an extent that we may have to restrict the number of contributions we accept from fun lovers. I hope this can be avoided: their messages are nicely expressed in language wholly appropriate for a family forum such as this. It would be helpful if people would refrain from sending in one-liners.

If Big John can be persuaded, when he's had his tea, to stroll up to PC World in the Old Shoreham Road there to purchase a reconditioned 486 Post-n-View Tracker, the problem may be alleviated.

There were 672 posts in July.

Junk Posts 11; Fun posts 0; Whinge Posts 1.

Welcome to readers in Finland and Panama and a special thank you to Gerta P. We shall continue voting for you.

There were more than 480 contributions made in September, only a few of which were deemed unsuitable for publication.

Viewing in Canada: hotter than hot!

There were over 850 posts in October. Most of them appeared on the board.

1056 views in Hungary. 10 views in Estonia.

Amazing!

There were lots and lots of posts in November. Some did not appear on the board. An over-emotional man wrote to tell us that he wished an agonising death on a member of the criminal community.
