Just increasing your post count huh?

Hooray! With this silly response to a silly post, this thread has officially become an "increase your post count" thread! Let's all pile on as we wait for 2.0.

By the way what is the next level above enthusiast? I feel like I've been stuck here forever...

*sigh* I can only dream of being an enthusiast...

Exactly how annoying would it be if I replied to this message a few hundred times?

I'm sure my tag is addict for a reason!

*laugh*

and you think you have a way to go... *grin*

Hey that poll thing is pretty cool, how'd you do that?

The FAQ's sir, just the FAQ's.

This shameless post count inflator has been brought to you by the letter Z and the number 2.0.

-Z

just say you weren't paying much attention...

I should reply to this very funny post which reminds me of my many years sitting in front of Sesame Street on TV as a kid, but ... Uh oh .. I've been in the computer room too long ... the wife's reading light just went out before I got back to bed ... bad news. "Are you still in there on that stupid computer???" ... "I'll be right there honey!"

bye

In case this was a real question, the next level is 'addict' @ 400 posts.

Do a search, 'cos somewhere there is a list of the posts/levels.

(Oh, and addict looks like the one next to my name, up there ^.... )

Cheers,

Yeah, something is wrong with the BBS or my database entry, because I've been stuck at Old Hand for a while now.

Tony,

Do you actually post a reply in every thread, or do you have one of those fake AI routines wired into the bbs now.

He's actually a robot. Like Margaret Thatcher
He's also been cloned so he can automatically respond to all geek based BBS's



I say this in pure affection and admiration. The amount of work Tony has put into this forum is amazing. For all strangers and newbies, check the number of posts Tony has made on this BBS. There should be a separate catagory for someone who has made nearly 5000 posts

I always wanted to know a word that wasn't a "single" word. Even Chezwazzle is a single word. But wait, .... , is "buttnugget"?

I don't think you're getting into the spirit of the Pop Culture game, here...

The idea is to come up with an appropriate reply from the same source. I admit that I made it hard since the scene ends there (well, all except for the gunfire), but surely, you could have said something like:

"Tony Blair lays on his back, his belly baking in the hot sun, beating his legs trying to turn himself over. But he can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping, Leon."

Tony Fabris

Who was it Blair? Was it a man? A poh-leece-man?


Better?

I'll bite...

What do you mean, I'm not helping?

Yeah... I KNEW I should have hit the second page before replying.....

Oh well... More posts whilst we wait.....

Yes, you've got it now.

(I had to double-check my DVD, I hadn't remembered that line. Good one.)

Dang, now you guys went and made me have to pull out the DVD too. I knew that first line sounded too familiar...

[shrug] What the heck ...

yea, depending on where post count is kept, since I post from a number of different machines, work, onsite, home...etc...I've been stuck on newbie for what seems like an age! Another problem is new posts read aren't the same on all comps....

Both the post count and the read/unread flags are kept on the server, so it shouldn't matter which computer you use. The problem with the read/unread flags is a bug which nobody has been able to figure out so far. The post count seems accurate, though, you can check yours by clicking on your username. You only need 4 more to become journeyman.

Borislav, pretending to be helpful to accumulate 22 more posts for addict status

BTW, it seems that if you delete one of your posts, your total doesn't decrease. So on a quiet night you can artificially inflate your count without anybody noticing. Although I'm sure people would notice if you tried to beat Tony...

Borislav

*laugh*

OK... I was about to comment on your 22 posts to go... followed by 28 posts to go... and got this error from the BBS:

We encountered a problem. The reason reported was:

There was a problem looking up the post in our database.

This is not necessarily an error. If you feel this is an error then it could be something as simple as your browser not being set to accept cookies. If you feel this error is a problem with the server then please contact empeg@comms.net and let us know what exactly went wrong so it can be fixed as soon as possible. Otherwise, please use your back button to return to the previous page.

So that would be what you get when you reply to a post that has been deleted... *grin*

Kim

OK... I was about to comment on your 22 posts to go... followed by 28 posts to go...

What's also funny is that the email notification I got of this post says:

OK... I was about to comment on your 22 posts to go... followed by 22 posts to go...

It seems the BBS itself is confused whether it's 22 or 28. Or did you edit your post?

OK, enough silliness for one night...

Borislav

*grin*

I edited my post... seems I can't read what I type cos I even checked the post in the preview before posting it the first time... *laugh*

Kim

*LAUGH*

and just to show I was using this thread for its proper purpose that last post just took me to Journeyman status... *grin*

Kim

Hmm, I might try to increase my post count as well. But what should I write?

proud MkII owner (12GB blue/green/smoked, was #080000113 is #090001010)

Hmm, I could simply delete that message again, I just don't have to say anything useful anyway.

proud MkII owner (12GB blue/green/smoked, was #080000113 is #090001010)

On the other hand, I still have more than 100 messages to go before advancing to the next level. Damn, I just don't have the time to do this today.

proud MkII owner (12GB blue/green/smoked, was #080000113 is #090001010)

Hmm, still 125 messages needed (including this one). Ok, I will stop for now.

proud MkII owner (12GB blue/green/smoked, was #080000113 is #090001010)

Hmm I need somewhere near 50 to get to addict, but I would actually like to maintain my enthusiast title. I consider myself more of an enthusiast than an addict. And I surely wouldn't want the "old hand" title, I might start feeling old. It'd be nice if we could choose to keep our titles even as our post counts go up. Or maybe I'll just register a new account and start out as a newbie again... This BBS is the only place I still use this nickname (from my IRC days) anyway, maybe it's time for a retirement.

400 posts actually isn't that much. Considering I've been on the BBS since mid-1999, it averages out to 4 posts a week. That's nothin'. Is someone who posts 4 times a week an "addict"?

Or maybe I just need to admit my problem and move on...

All I can say in congratulations! Oh and it's well above me to use this thread to increase my own post count.... ;)

Yayyyyyyyy.....
now that makes it 3 more :)

Double Boo-yah! In the anticipation of 2.0b3, my post in the past ten days equals that of all my posts since joining the BBS sometime in July. Me thinks a member it does me make?

Guess now I should think about getting off this computer and resuming my studies? Naw.
