Open Letter to Fromage / Dello

Dear Benefactor,

In the name of all that is good, deign to choose the enlightened mercy to replace the naked Belfs as your iconic award for those posters who exceed 27 t posts.

Replace them immediately. First taipan and then Commander zat have been subjected to forum-wide scorn and derision as a result of this gratuitous obscenity.

Benefactor, I ask you, in all humility:

• Is this due reward for the selfless effort of those who have proved the very pillars of this esteemed virtual knocking shop?
  
  What incentive does such vile Belfisation give those who continue to support this noble institution, through thin and thin?
  
  Why would anyone in their right mind not shudder and shrink at the thought of subjection to such public reverse tarring and feathering themselves, and desist forthwith from any further input to your domain?

Leader, have you thought through the repercussions of your horrendously bare Belf?

We urge you urgently with the utmost urgency to reconsider your position.

And at your nearest convenience to replace the hideous naked Belf with something more seemly.

Perhaps a bathtime Cosgrove, or a postprandial Leverock.

Yours in fraternity

Verbose but sage. Although, if I had to endure them, then so should every other farker.

why not just a picture of a testicle?

or those. One malteser ball per however many posts.

They're delicious.

So are you NOM NOM NOMinating those now?

Nice effort Pete, but I don't take the forum that seriously. At least not the post marker side of it anyway. Sure, the Belfs are crap, but they could be worse. Pictures of Kevin Pietersen, for example.

Naw, my choc of choice right now is orange flavoured. And that's really my all time fave. Always better a Belf than a Pietersen, as my old nan used to say.

I wouldn't have realized they were there if Skully hadn't gone on about it.

PMSL.

The joys of modern technology. You should try it sometime.

Garq me ...we've been staring at Rikki since the forum started and you want to whine about Belfs...if you dont like the Belf them put them on ignore for 5000 posts ...you wont miss much

Anyone who doesn't like the Belf has no place here

Not a great advert for it.

Did Skully ever have a Belf?

Don't Ask.Don't Tell.

I've not been on ranking icon duty for about 18 months.

But the same rules probably still apply: if you've got something better, send them to Fromage. If not, suck it up.

Dello, the Pontius Pilate of Flaming Bails...

Although here's a suggestion for the chief cheese head. Reverse the ranking order for the Belfs. 5 down to one, that gives an incentive to post more to get rid of them...

England have been trying to get rid of one for years,

Aye it's the same, metaphorically speaking, rack up more 'points' and you'll get rid of Belf.

Not looking forward to it.

sh!t the mini Belf is funny as f*ck...

You're less than 2K posts from your own Belf gallery...

I know, which is why I'm not looking forward to it. I try not to even look in the direction of people's avatars any more.
