What happened to your "which hopper do you want to snog?" thread? Did the mods kill it? Enquiring minds want to know.

Happy Birftay, Spanner!
I took down the thread myself...well, I asked a mod to. I decided that it was going to cause more trouble than it was worth. Besides, I was drunk as I wrote it.
And Spanner, you were on the list.
