The opening post to the discussion thread linked to above:
"I dont get it, is it just hyped up flickr, or is it some weird, masonic, scientology type clan thing.
My father in-law (who is a tog of 30 years, is good friends with the founder of caedes and one of the 50 'premium members) tried to explain to me what it was and what it does, but i just couldnt grasp what the actual point of it was.
I've been on the site and its all " Caedes Cadre, Aediles, Praetor, Consul, Praetor Maximus...." And "Art council"... yet looking on the top of the website, you'd think it was just a large collection of desktop wallpapers.
What ever that place is, i just dont get it, and even if someone explains it to me, i still think i wont get it.
Ohwell, rant over."
Grab a cuppa, have a read and a laugh or three. :o)
They make an interesting point about the fact that we have too much spare time. Unlike discussion board members who scroll through web pages looking for spelling mistakes :-P (pretty sure "edumacation" was a joke, anyway...)
It is funny, though, that someone could be confused by a site that really seems pretty straight forward to me... I'd have thought the header on the home page makes it pretty clear?? I sorta get the impression this might just be a group of people who just enjoy finding things they can belittle *shrugs*
There are few situations in life that cannot be honourably settled, and without any loss of time, either by suicide, a bag of gold, or by thrusting a despised antagonist over the edge of a precipice on a dark night.

Being of little brain it took me some time to work out what a 'tog' is, (the one of 30 years experience.) Still not sure. In 'my day' togs were something one wore to go for a swim.
Does it mean photographer?

"Windows 95 is a 32-bit extention to a 16-bit patch for an 8-bit operating system that was originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1-bit of competition."
A TOG stems from listeners of BBS Radio 2's Terry Wogen Show, who referred to themselves as Terry's Old Geezers (TOG). More generally someone of around 50-70 who refuses to act their age.
