Forum Hide and seek

Why not do a forum version of hide and seek? Except this time we take a paticular word or phrase, plonk it into a post or topic, and send everyone on a wild goose chase for it. It would make for some good devling into old places just to find it much like that game Ronn just did

Sifting through 25,000 posts sounds a bit daunting O__o

RV can't go into the Episode Discussion forum as he's been locked out (so he doesn't spoil the episodes before he sees them).

Still, not a bad idea. Although the search function on the forums kind of misses the point.

He just kept talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic so that no one had a chance to interrupt him it was really quite hypnotic.

You could make changes to the posts other than the addition of text.

Changing a post's text colour, for example.

It could be "I've hidden a red word in the General Chat forum - find it....THAT'S AN ORDER PRIVATE!"

At which point, you would say "YES SIR!!" and find it.

I'd make it a whole post. And setting it between 2 dates would probably be a good idea.

Haha, I like giving people near-impossible challenges. However, it's only impossible if you can't be arsed to look.
