Finally, I've achieved one of my personal goals which I've been chasing for ages ...
I'm in the FWFR top 50. At number 50.
I originally planned to get into the top 50 and quit, but this is a hobby I enjoy. I think it's similar to doing crossword puzzles, because you can use it as a 15 minute mental workout. I really enjoy pursuing accolades too.
So ... watch out, you 49 fwiffers ahead of me (including Chris C who sped past me a month or two ago) I'm gunning for you!!!

Boydegg,
Every time I look at the Top 100 list, I think of how much easier it was to get on the board when I first started fwiffering in earnest. I thought maybe 500 fwfrs were a light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel goal, and that I might surpass 1000 if I was lucky.
Today, Top 50 is a much more challenging milestone, and more than double the # of reviews required for Top 100 which is a very high bar as it is.
Nicely done. I'm watching my back already. |

Congrats Boydegg.
Welcome to the club. I'll PM you the intsructions regarding the Top 50 Club Secret Handshake.
If you tell No. 51 El Guapo or any other less-than-50s the details of the secret handshake, free use of Benj's private jet or the once Eyes-Wide-Shut-style sex parties held in London, you'll be kicked off the site. :)

Congratulations Boydegg - and glad you've decided to stick with us! I was thinking of stopping when I reached 1000 reviews once upon a time... what a laugh...  |

Um... someone neglected to show me the secret handshake... and I'm brushing up there with the likes of Larry and TitanPA. |

| Well done boydegg. That's a difficult thing to do nowadays. When I joined, one needed about 250 to achieve the same thing! |

That's 'Eggy', Randall.
It's Boyd Egg (not Boy Degg). My surname is Boyd and my hilarious peers nicknamed me Boydegg as a kid because it sounds like 'boiled egg'.
Thanks for all the messages of congrats everyone. Gotta love FWFR!

Congratulations on the achievement boydegg.
I guess I'll kick off continue the inevitable onslaught of egg-related puns by saying your reviews are really cracking.
