Ca$h68 · May 7, 2002, 05:47 PM

no you dont, you only have 1,000. 1,000 is not OVER 1,000. So there.

Well at least one thing is for sure, I'm not not kicking your ass

MikeM32 · May 7, 2002, 05:59 PM

3 g's and counting baby. I wonder if Cipher reads these "1000th" post threads and laughs.

Ca$h68 · May 7, 2002, 06:00 PM

nah. Over 5000 posts on over 50 banned accounts is where its at.

cdhostage · May 7, 2002, 06:02 PM

Cipher has maybe 11,000

eep! · May 7, 2002, 06:06 PM

does anyone else think that the 'levels' need re-adjusting? i mean just look at how many of us have green stars.

besides 1000 = Addicted 10,000 = clinically insane. it's a bit of a gap don't you think? how about...
0-500 = new member
501-1000 = junior member
1001-2000 = member
2001-3000 = senior member
3001-4000 = really senior member
4001-5000 = really really senior member
5001-6000 = ...

and so on and so forth.

I'll be in the cold cold ground before I get demoted back to member!!!

eep! · May 7, 2002, 06:13 PM

yeah, but in another 40-something posts you'd be a senior member

voodoo · May 8, 2002, 11:53 AM

Following the logic of 10 posts being 'member', 50 posts for the next step and 100 posts after that, there should be a new rank at 5000 posts. It would make sense. Somewhere between 'addicted' and 'clincally insane'

maxelson · May 8, 2002, 11:54 AM

not me.

DBursey · May 8, 2002, 12:30 PM

rj has an abundance of posts; but it's clear that many are skewed to the left and some are preposterously crooked. He steadfastly refuses to be fenced in on anything. Alas, I fear the cows have all run off.

Mmm. I too will Addicted be. The Force strong within me is.

Timo · May 8, 2002, 03:54 PM

I don't either. 75% of my posts are really maxelson's; hijacking my account and all.

Cut that out!

maxelson · May 8, 2002, 04:06 PM

SO, yes, I guess I really have 4300+ posts. Counting my ubernether personality and all...

But damn. The rapid fire commute between Worcester and Manhattan is getting hard. That third st. bridge is ok, but the streets afterward are really racking my suspension. And IS there any time when 95 in CT is NOT under construction?

Pffft. "From the AIR you can see it's under construction."

Tell them about the helicopter, max. Don't hold out. Come clean now.

maxelson · May 8, 2002, 04:19 PM

OK. It's (proper usage- contraction. It + is) true. State chopper. I suppose I ought to tell you it is also my fault the soon to be ex gov, Ms. Swifty, caught the heat for it. In reality, she's just being nice, letting me bounce back and forth.
But I NEVER use it to commute to work. For that would be an abuse, it would, it would.

By the by. Who keeps painting the smiley face on the landing pad on my... uh... YOUR building?

Timo · May 8, 2002, 04:23 PM

Yeah, you can't really use that "I'm pregnant" excuse...

chris v · May 8, 2002, 06:05 PM

Crimony! I went from 900 to 1100 in the same span of time Cypher posted ANOTHER 1100. I feel totally outclassed. Hey, Cypher, howmany WPM can you type??

I suppose I should contribute to this discussion.

Most of my posts happen during school breaks. I just don't have the time to maintain a 4.0 in high school, play basketball, administer the computers of a business and a few homes, review hardware, and post on MacNN during the weeknights anymore.

It would have to be the grades.

By the way, I would love a copy of that saved HTML document, Cellery. If you have a chance, e-mail me it at [email protected] .

I'm looking forward to breaking 20,000 posts this summer.

Jansar · May 8, 2002, 11:38 PM

I don't come by that often anymore. As you all can see, I'm barely over 800.

20,000 posts? This ought to be interesting.

If I break 1,000 posts people are going to start complaining 'he's doing it again'

Does anyone have a saved page of the time I did it about 40 times in a row? Anyhoot, I plan on getting to 2,000 by the end of summer

The Dude · May 9, 2002, 04:39 AM

Jesus ****ing christ. GO GET A LIFE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

It's guys like yepez that force me to believe that they truely consider post count to be an esteem booster.

20,000 posts my ass. That'd be an impossibility. The admin's would ban you after 500 or so posts of usless meandering.

Haha. About 140, depends on the keyboard.

This one? About 135; the wintels (each with different IBM KB's), about 140. The ADB Extended, about 110 cause it takes a bit to get used to after being on this and the wintel one... on the iMac, about 135.

Sean - yes, but if we were to add up the number of WORDS per post, you'd be in trouble

Yeah, but those are Australian minutes, right? So, that would be about 70- 75 in US minutes at the current exchange rate, if I'm not mistaken.
