Right, listen you you lot. I’m putting together a firm to rob this place.

Now, we all know Thumbs are the currency and I’ve got intel that shows that every year Russ ships all the thumbs from the forums over to the US for redistribution across social media.

Well, I’ve had a solid tip-off that there’s gonna be a shipment traveling from the UK server to the US server in late December which will not only be carrying all this years Thumbs but also all the ready made Thumbs for the 2024 update. And we’re gonna nick the lot!

I need to put together a crew. I’ve already got some contacts via the Kraken Trinity but I’m gonna have to spread the bread around and I’m putting the word out of the General street. I don’t want pussies or squealers.

I’ve got the intel and the date; I need some expertise in the following areas:
- mod distraction
- obfuscation
- deflection
- thumbing techniques
- torrents and lighting downloads
- muscle; some second accounts probably
- hackers

This is your chance guys…sign on here with your credentials and pitch.

Sign me up gov, I'm a diamond geezer. Expert safe hacker, they used to call me fingers, (and thumbs, probably.) Got more accounts than Barclays. Any pussies or squealers me and my mate Dinsdale will nail their heads to the floor. They used to call me The Gravedigger.

obfuscation - nothing does it as well as a sound Suebian accent.

I’ve emailed Paul and he’s willing to do the job but not willing to subscribe to RHP.

I told him that “going underground” and subscribing to this “town called malice” could, for him, be “a brand new start”.

Ok Pondy you’re in and your job will be to pull a small team together to create long threads about not much but which contain lots of old world German swearing which will distract the sentinels.

i heard a rumor,and as rumors go
the addition of unlimited blue thumbs, designed for users to signify their intent to "balance the scales" of thumbstic, are within 30 days of functional release to subscribing accounts
long overdue to the general forum, evening out the red thumbs and the green thumbs in perfect wokeness is going to be a stabilizing force in the world in which we live and breathe and thumb to our heart's content

blue thumbs

I heard a rumour that premium subscribers will be able to cancel their red thumbs and award themselves green thumbs. Could be a money spinner.

“Premium subscribers” have all sorts of perks, like getting people removed from the website.

and I have heard that thumbs option will be limited to giving a thumb. A complicated algorithm will then decide in which direction it will go (up, down, sideways)
