All the mods can edit post counts.

We have had to dock new users who post several one word replies in a topic. We combine them to one, then drop the count. These are usually amateurs trying to reach a Buy/Sell/Trade level. This is what we mean by quality posts.
Rest in Peace

There is a statue of Rui at the CCF Tower in Dubai.

I thought it was a mix of flour and butter used to thicken certain sauces.

Late Edit

I had this mixed up with Roux

I think Rui hard coded his in the DB though.

I am Groot. We are Rui.

Rui is a fantastic friend, developer, software engineer, etc.

We started hosting with GoDaddy, outgrew that shared hosting in no time. Rui was our next host, we were with him for many, many years until we outgrew him.

Then we went to a virtual server with KiwiHosting. The owner of that hosting company was a one man operation...... until he passed away in his sleep. We didn't find out until about 3 weeks later. So our data could've all disappeared any time. One of the most stressful times of my life. I was physically sick because we could have lost everything. Rui stayed up for about 20 hours babysitting our database downloading.

Rui then helped me immensely in setting up with LiquidWeb on our own private (kickass) server. He moved to them also, but guess what, he helped me first.

The last one I could find was "82w8oih" in 2015.
I remember "The Vancouver kid" also asked this question but that was in 2014.
There is probably someone more recent that I can't find.

@bobby131313, I'm sorry for asking such a personal question, I wouldn't be able to even be on this forum, learned what I have, if it was not for him/her and you as well as you running this forum and all of its members.

Thank you for a great lesson on the start of the CCF and the history behind bit.

As for the other replies I want to assume your joking

@ hfj..."chicken avatar" that would be one of the lightest penalties in recent history for asking about Rui....

Last post here I don't want to suffer the wrath of Rui...

@greasy

Hey I respect the system admin. I also don't want to start writing in "wing dings" font. A chicken avatar is fair punishment for only mentioning his name.
