Your post made me giggle, I got it right away but I do have moments where I notice things I should have a lot sooner!

honestly i noticed it after about a week of being on here. mostly because im dyslexic and i had to realize it wasnt spelled correctly. Then i was like "OH!!" and realized it was a joke about hair.

Me too :) Might be partly because English is a second language to me.

I noticed it right off... but only because I had an English teacher who made puns out of everything :)

I noticed it right away but a) I'm a native English speaker, and b) I have a BA in English, so word play is very easy for me. (Cue the song from "Avenue Q" about "What Do You Do With a BA in English...")

In any case, point being, I have an unfair advantage when it comes to noticing puns/plays on language.

English being my second language and my habit of skipping words meant I found out after 3 years :D
Though unlike you I had no idea about the real meaning of mane. I thought it is main as it is the main one. That day after three years I told DH did you know that main can also be spelled mane? And he was like :shocked:
Then I found out what it meant actually :D

Took me years to work it out I am afraid :/ In my defence, I can't think of any forums where the main part is called the 'main forum' :D No that's a rubbish defence, I was just slow *hangs head*

I never realized it could be a pun. It just made absolute sense to me to call it the Mane Forum. It's the main place to discuss your mane. I don't look deeply in to most things :gabigrin:

Without this thread, I probably wouldn't have thought about it... but now it's too obvious :D

I noticed even before I was a member here :P
But LOL It's always so satisfying (and kinda embarrassing) to recognize that you've missed out on something for so long but you FINALLY solved it!

It took me at least a week to realise it was a pun on "main", assuming it was about mane. What made me notice was seeing the quotation marks, and wondering whether the forum was diminishing manes - and no - it was referring to it being the main part.

Duuuuuh!

It always just made sense to me. I must like puns.

I thought the "Mane forum" pun was part of the board's personality, just like the thudpile and dancing cheese. :thudpile: :cheese:

Wow I just noticed! I only saw mane as in hair, not mane as in main. Then again I never get jokes unless they're pointed out to me :(
