CONFRIMED: Takeover collapsed; Back to square one

[Royal Ginger]

It`s childish, I like to think we`re all grown up adults on here.

Are you new here etc etc?

[Mr Angry]

Yeah I can remember it from way back. Surprised that it's still going really cause its a sh!t joke, wasn't it meant to be the Thai spelling or something? Or Chinese. Might be wrong on it's origins but either way we should see the last of the Thais and Dai very soon so hopefully this dead joke will go with them.

Pretty sure its as simple as someone on here just mistyped it. Everyone took the piss.

This is how I remember it.

Same here.

I recall "stundent" was a deliberate typo, but "confrimation" was accidental.

When was the last time anyone new on the board was greeted with "F**k off newbie!"

That's a good point, we need to get some people hiding in bushes with video cameras ASAP.

Always thought it was a riff on something frimmers once said

It has a whiff of 'this is frimmerwang', but I don’t think he was involved.

When was the last time a newbie username was anyone other than one of the regular trolls?

Personally, I'd say that confrimation and confrimed are legendary on this board. In fact, it's got to the stage where if either of those are spelt correctly, I feel as though something's missing. Strange but true

Do we know what happened to that guy on Twitter who promised to run 5k every day until the takeover was completed? He must be ready for an ultra marathon by now.

As I recall it was "Confimred" not "Confrimed" so these Johnny come lately confrimmers can do one.

It was 100% 'confimred' to begin with - you're absolutely right. It still makes me somewhat sad every time I see 'confrimmed' instead. If the takeover doesn't get 'confimred' using the word 'confimred' then it won't have actually happened in my mind.

Ahh, that'll be the frimmers angle.

Confirmed mis typed and confimred. Shifts to become confrimed because it's wrong and so is frimmers.

He's nearing Vladivostock by now I should imagine.

I thought stundent was a typo which then became an intentional typo.

Personally, I'm looking forward to when we next play Coventry for the return of the Groundhog Day references.

Just get confirmed added to the dictionary of excluded words on the forum with a replacement of confimred - voila

And escapegoat was also due to someone thinking that scapegoat is actually spelled like that. That was in the days when there were also far more spelling pedants on this forum ...

I believe escapegoat is actually the original, which became scapegoat. And now people get it wrong back as the original.

Baines was a big fan of -8, as in proflig8 etc. that certainly caught on, with m8 mut8ing to m7, inter alia.

Prolly also prospers.

Back to the main topic to what this thread was set up for, Caroline Parker has set up a clock which will be updated for every day this saga goes on for.
It now stands at 319 days since Dai put the club up for sale.

Surely (and pedantically) a clock would struggle to show 318 days.

I would have thought you’d need a calendar ?

Or just some sort of counter ?
