...at last. I've got my long coveted space in the Top 100, the last of my initial ambitions on the site. It took me almost exactly a year to do it!
A massive thanks to Benj and the Merps for bringing me in over the line - and to my fellow Fwiffers for encouragement, inspiration and votes.
Speaking of which all congratulatory gestures will be graciously received and reciprocated; my top reviews unvoted, and my most recent unvoted -- post your links to this thread and I'll have a thorough dig about to reward some worthy gems this coming week.

Congratulations. I remember how pleased I was when I made it, but it was much easier in those days. This the most important achievement involving number of reviews, I.M.O. Thanks. |

Well done Demonic!
Of course, your achievement in reaching the top 100 has been at the expense of some other fwfr who is right now crying their little eyes out, but don't let that bother you.
To make amends, vote generously here.

Congratulations on cracking the Top 100. When I started anyone on 100 reviews was so far into the stratosphere they'd suffer from nosebleeds. |

When I came back in Spring 2004, it was 125 for the top 100 and 250 for the top 50. F*** knows how low it was when I was first here at the beginning of 2003. |

Round about December 2002 I got in to the top 100 with 21 reviews.

Thanks, demonic. However, I'm shocked to discover I still have the Network review as ages ago I asked for all the votes on it to be transferred to [can't remember, now ... was it EM?] and to delete my review because months ago someone pointed out that it was a dupe. I will report it again right now, and happily give up my votes.
Of course, if you'd care to target any other FWFR of mine ... who would I be to stop you
One minute later: Well, THAT'S weird ... the other one isn't there anymore. Was the wrong review deleted? That's not fair. How can we fix this? Does anyone remember who originally pointed out the dupe? EM - was this your review? Benj - can we re-assign this brilliant review to the person who thought of it before me?

Hmm. That's a tricky one.
You actually thought of the review even if someone got there before you, so i'd say if the other review is gone you may as well keep yours with no guilt. It doesn't look like the other fwiffer complained about losing their review - maybe it was someone who doesn't review anymore? Maybe theirs was later and the dupe after all
