Thought the regulars here would be pleased to see that their efforts don't go un-noticed. This is a quote from an article on the Vitae web site:

"The PhD process can be an isolating and anxiety-inducing experience, fraught with problems. Yet the cyber community of PhD students at ‘The Postgraduate Forum' (www.postgraduateforum.com), offers support, connection and the sense that ‘we're in this together'. They also provide some of the best advice I've seen about the research and non-research related problems surrounding the PhD. They are humane, humorous and pull no punches about the challenges of which the books (inevitably) could not have dreamed.

Move over Britney, out of the way crappy Twilight New Moon actors and at the back David Walliams and Matt Lucus, we're all famous at last. Race you to the first autobiography book deal or solo singing career fellow forumites! :-)

Yaaayyyyy!!!!! Congratualtions everyone!! Lets crack open a bottle of plonk to celebrate!

I'll just have lemonade, but in the same spirit! (up)

Does that mean we get an hourly rate now?

It's the outfits! The outfits we really need. Especially now we#re in the public eye. I really don't think Danni Minogue and Cheryl Cole would put up with this; do you?

ooh, smilies, new outfits, more flattering ones please - maybe some relate to our field of study!? and some better headgear. Also it would be good if we could post photos and vids on here! - can you do that? Im not very good at computer things so have no idea.

Woo. It's official, we're humane, humorous, and then some. (up)

Xmas smiley's are here......check them out

If anyone wants to make their own avatars download the shell below and alter it in a photo editor like Photoshop and email back to us. I will split it in to the required parts (head, head gear and torso). Alternatively just copy and paste the items you want to edit from the Avatar editor and send me them. (tree)
