Um. I thought that was understood to be a joke? As far as I can remember... we had a cookery sub-forum, then it became Recommendations, then that became Guides, and then someone (Gaywood, I think) said 'Shall we have a cookery sun-forum? Hey, what about sub-forums in general?' Which irked me as I'd been asking that previously, and came to the conclusion that possibly more specific topic icons would do the trick. The irking came because my asking this was largely ignored beyond discussion of whelks, whereas it seemed that if Someone Else suggested such things, then it was leaped upon as a Good Idea. I found this A Bit Off.
The cookery thing became some kind of short-hand reference to this that is not of my creation. Or at least, that was my understanding of it, and I've certainly long since become completely ambivalent to the whole thing. Is that what this is about? Oh
dear.

I suppose if CUS actually came up with the idea of Dimlies it would be less opaque, but I don't know whether that was the case or not.
No, Myoptika did, as I recall. Which is why Gaywood's above post thanking Mr. Dave for their creation is amusing. I'm guessing there was some kind of girly conversation in which CUS is Evil because... he said Myoptika nicked his ideas? Maybe? That would make sense in light of the quotes here, but I can't understand how that train of thought would be reached. That said, the amount of cliqueyness on this board IS considerable (even within cliques and sub-cliques), so I'm not surprised.
What does this have to do with the Excellent Content of the site anyway, you goons?
