I think gorickey should make one last post, in the honor of the Lounge.
Well?

He was banned from the Lounge months ago...the "retirement" is a hoax and/or cover-up.

No. His presence can still be felt (right, mos) and the way he retired was classic. To come back would be the worst possible thing.

He should only come back if Rickey "UnRetires" from baseball by signing with the Mets. Then he can teach Pedro how to play poker.

He never retired from baseball...and the Mets need more work than a poker champion.

I like the way he retired. Besides, there's this new guy, manofsteal, that is way more insightful.

This is ridiculous!

>>>>> Gorickey NEVER reached 10,000 <<<<<

How many times must we go over this [timeline please]. Gorickey NEVER got to 10,000 posts. That's a F-A-C-T. If we look at all the data, and take in to consideration various information about his posting, we can clearly see that he posted around 7341 posts in MacNN TOTAL.

Tooki is involved with this, Demonhood is in on it... the list goes on and on. In fact, I think Demonhood IS Gorickey!!! and I have a source that's going to prove it!

Check out this CNN Article if you don't believe me.

Gorickey walks away with 10,000 posts, and we are left holding all the chips.

Yeah, they need Sammy Sosa and Manny Ramirez, too.
I think they're still trying to win the 2000 World Series.

Oh, and I'll third the nomination for Post OF The Year. Instant Classic™.

damn that cnn was funny =)

gorickey was so famous that .. a comment about his retirement makes the poster instantly famous and the post an instant classic ... damn .. that's fame.

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

NO NO... NOT 9997... NOT 9997

Gorickey had 7341 total posts. NOT 9997. What are trying to pull on us??! Any sane person knows that 9997 not the same as 7341... 9997 is nowhere near the correct number Komisar (or should I say Demonhood or Tooki or whoever else you want to be today).

I'm just waiting for this post to "magically" disappear as so many have in the past
Example #1 - Dude, where's my post count?
Example #2 - Article Regarding the Tooki/Demonhood connection
Example #3 - Link to Post Manipulation .

You just don't want the truth out because it would bring down MacNN and this "post count" conspiracy. "Clinically Insane" sure... and the moon landing WASN'T faked

How deep does it run Demonhood? MacNN, the government, the military, MTV!!!!

Post count suppression and manipulation can and will NOT be tolerated in our society.

It's all coming together now... post count, the pyramid, Buck Rogers.

the one the only
gorickey!!!


I figured it out Demonhood/Tooki/Ca$h/etc... I haven't found the final piece of the puzzle, but you have pointed me in the right direction.
