Caithness.org, a site we think never ceases to inform and entertain, is the Rural Community Gateway's Website of the Month for March.
Congratulations from the Rural Gateway team
www.ruralgateway.org.uk
Congrats to all! Should that extend to we posters? ;)
The headline on the Rural Gateway front page is:
Website Of The Month
Caithness.org (http://www.caithness.org/): home of the Orgers
The word "Orger" is spreading. Who introduced it? A quick search of the forums led to Saveman's thread (http://forum.caithness.org/showthread.php?t=5970&highlight=orger). Is there any earlier usage?

Many thanks to the Rural Gateway for the award. Its always a little sweeter when another website gives us such recognition.
DrSzin, you are correct, Caithness.Org would certainly be nothing without the Orgers :) You all read it and a lot of you submit information and photographs, apart from the massive amount you all contribute in our forums. So all the Orgers should turn to the Orger on their left and give them a pat on the back ;)

What if it's an Ogre on your left? ;)

Give the ogre a pat anyway and say its from the nice people who visit caithness.org :)
hehe Ogres have feelings too. :)
Congratulations to everyone btw.
Well done everyone !!!! see if we try hard enough we CAN put Caithness back on the map :)
Now there's a surprise, there's not a cynical thing I can say. :Razz
Well done Bill, Colin and Naill for running the site and filling it with useful information.
Not forgetting all the Orgers who fill the Board with all sorts of interesting topics creating much discussion, help and information.

Many of us have been thinking this for years. It is great to see it in print. Congratulations to Bill, Colin and Niall. Thanks for all of your hard work and attention to the details of keeping this ever growing community under some form of control.
This week marks the second anniversary of my connection with Caithness.org. The first pics I saw on the news board were of the Mother's Day march concerning the maternity ward at the hospital. I can still see them. That was my introduction to Wick and Caithness. Later, it was an honour to become a member of NAG and to protest in Inverness that glorious August morning. Thanks for the wonderful memories.

Probably not. Anyone who wants to send me money out of their heartfelt appreciation for the coining of this phrase, just PM me for my address.

Support your local superhero.

Well done Bill,Colin and Niall.All your good work has been rewarded.Agree wi Fran,that its all pals together.The funniest thing though,with these forums is that it might seem like strangers blethering to one another.But ye never know,some orgers might ken one another,but who knows maybe we see each other everyday,maybe we HAVE met.:lol:

congratulations to all concerned. I learn more from this site than I do from our local papers. Full of news, chat and fun. Good photos and always up to date. Never go online without checking it out.
Keep posting all you 'orgers'.

Actually I believe the term 'orger' was coined in one of my threads to get an orger's get together in Wick.:o)

To Bill, Nial and Colin..may I once again send my congratulations for the amazing website.but ORGERS? I have a problem with that ! It would start a free for all at the local where I originate from!
Long may Caithness Org. spread the word about this corner of these islands that is so special but please not too much as that would spoil the peace and tranquility that I love and which makes it "God's own county".

Blame Rheghead....it's all his fault! :p
I am proud till be an Orger, even more proud till be a Kaitness Orger

I think "Caithness Orger" is redundant. Orgers is a uniquely caithness.org expression. Now, the first person to the patent office (or the UK equivalent) could stand to make a fortune. Gooooooooooo saveman.
"Hello, I'd like to register one of my inventions."
"Certainly sir, please just fill out this form, what is your invention?"
"It's the word Orgers"
"Ogres?"
"No Orgers"
"And what does an orger do sir?"
"It, I mean he or she posts messages on a forum."
"Posts messages? Is that like some sort of automatic message relay system?"
"No it's a person."
"I'm sorry?"
"An Orger is a person."
"You invented a person?"
"No I invented the name for a person, well Rheghead might have, but I got here first."
"Rheg what?"
"Emm....nevermind, I just want to register the word."
"The word?"
"Yes the word Orgers."
"I invented a word once it went a bit like this......CLEAROFFANDSTOPWASTINGMYTIME!!"
"Did you register it?"
"What??!!"
"I'll get my coat...."
