It was more waxy than plastic - or am I getting confused with someone else?
Didn't he have the fabricated face?
From memory I think it was pieced together from bits of other people's faces and generic backgrounds.

Images long gone but here was the thread: http://www.metropol247.co.uk/forum/view ... ilit=craig

Then he went and erased all his posts. It seems to be the metropol tradition to do that. Very chic, but it shouldn't really be allowed. Some sort of delete quota, you may delete one post per hour would fix it.

He didn't post after that. Reminds me of DJGM who quietly vanished after being affiliated with our friend Tidey.

I think we should create a detailed list of every MetroScandal to date.

You're right cdd. Except that you're wrong because we've done that already.

Speaking of things we've done before, when does Metropol get its own article on Wikipedia? Is there some member count that has to be exceeded?

How about as a subsection of the Digital Spy article. Everyone will be happy.

And give certain unmentionables the ability to change Metrohistory? Oh purlease.

You can buy "Metropol's Big Book of Scandal" and "Metropol: The Story So Far" from the webshop on the secret forum. I won't use Amazon (before you ask) as they want me to squeeze my margins and I won't have it - you hear?

Wasn't there an article about here that lasted a few days on Wiki?

EDIT: Yep - Deletion log. "Non-notable web forum" - UHH.

They work rather well together (although the 20p is full of arses), I suspect the Daily Mail complained about them, some people on MSN Money actually commented that they were "a waste of money" and "that money should have been sepnt on the NHS" :roll: What they forget is that they mint coins every year anyway :roll:
