I think you just post things/people who are relevant to Bells! Like Alexander Bell, Church Bell, Belle (Beauty and the Beast). FYRMoopy will have to confirm

Maybe Spawner has something to add to this, seeing as she comes from Moopy? Was I right in what I said above?

Yep, Wayne was right. What you do is post something with the word "bell" or similar in the title, Moopy's Bells on Sunday list is currently up to number 442. You post your bell with the next consecutive number. Some of them are quite tenuously linked to bells so we have a Royal Arbiter of the Bell whose decision is final. There's a Hall of Shame for people who post duplicate bells, post bells on any day other than Sundays or post rubbish bells. I am a member of the Privy Council of the Bell because I was involved in choosing the new Royal Arbiter of the Bell when Sir David Bowie had to step down. It's just a laugh on a Sunday when the site was usually quieter. Posting a Moopy-related bell will earn you the honour of the Order of the Bell, OB.

You've completely misunderstood the nature of the order of the bell. It rewards ingenuity in the pursuit of bells, not self referential wankery.

The last two posts are invalid.

However HeatSeeker will still get $10,000 for trying and having a valid excuse.

Why are they invalid?

Spawner

Because they were posted in the early hours of Monday morning.
