You forgot:
8 people starting a chat about themselves and what they're up to, including 242 replies by said 8 people of nothing particular, which is then followed by the realisation that they absolutely *must* have a LightBulb Meeting, followed by another 200 posts about where/when/who, plus another 200-odd posts about how the LightBulb Meeting went and how drunk they got.

1936 members to say how lightbulbs aren't as good as they used to be, especially post 2000 lightbulbs, and how lightbulb manufacturers have become lazy and or in just for the money, when they still could make fantastic lightbulbs if only they cared.
