40 new users registered on Xmas Day
And this was by 09.00. Amazed. Do you think that they had their registrations as cheapo (sorry - wonderful, innovative, thought-provoking, witty, extremely useful and cost effective) christmas presents?

At least they're not as sad as me, logging on on Christmas morning just to get out of cooking the turkey.

Happy Christmas, and welcome to the newbies - this forum is all I said above and more.

Then go away even more confused than they were when they discarded the manual in favour of the internet

Welcome to AVF and the world of the geek - you need a 100quid HDMI cable mate

Welcome, boys and girls, to the AVF panto.

I've got my bird out, she's coming to room temperature. Time to give my spuds a scrub before I drizzle em with goose fat.

Happy christmas guys

Well the answer is:

Plasma (LCDs suck)
360 + Wii (about the same price as a PS3) and covers all !

And you dont need a HDMI lead costing £100!

...Cue the LCD/PS3/1080p fanboys rant...

Re: 40 new users registered on Xmas Day
Currently, ~330 users per day sign up here. That's a rate of 120,000 new members a year.

I have a mate who does the warranty work for comet re-crystalizing LCD screens if anyones interested.

He will also re-colour the pixels if you have any that arent quite red,blue or green enough (He has 3 pencils in his tool box)

Re: 40 new users registered on Xmas Day
How come there was so many guests, usually over 2000. Does this mean they have not registered?, and why not.
