At that rate, manofsteal will hit 10k sometime during spring training...

BTW, did you notice that my new sig has Rickey in a Mets uniform? Yeah buddy...

Seriously. 50+ posts in >24 hours. No wonder you got to 10,000 in less than 3 years.

I guess it's better than stacking up posts bitching about other people's post count.

Sorry. I'll fix it....

I thought so, but I wasn't all that sure just from looking at the sig. I never did like those black alternate uniforms, anyway, so maybe I was in denial.

He did some good stuff in that uniform, though. If only Rickey could play short or second, the Mets could use him right now...

Yeah, I know. It's a problem. Thanks for pointing that out...

But it's better still to stack up posts bitching about someone bitching about people's post count.

Nah it aint a problem. One thing I've noticed though is you've posted more than I do -- and people actually like you ... oops!

*grin* it'll be a great day when I reach 10,000. Of course, if I wait for this account to hit that, it'll just take forever

Eh oh well. 2 more years to go

Difference, I am not one who bitches or obsesses about post counts.

Only fanboys do that.

Gorickey was obviously an Applescript... I think the real gorickey would come in and post once or twice a week... but the rest were simply +1 or totally agree

I knew a guy back in 96 that wrote a IRC bot using Hypercard.

You could write a perl script...

I've seen them on IRC. They are web/IRC perl bots.

You find all the geeks on IRC.

I think I'm going to look in to it... create a different person... mitchell_phg and run the script for a few hours a day... Get to 100,000 posts

[Zimphire]

Well you wouldn't want to make it TOO obvious.

Just run a "fanboy" script and have it reply to all my posts.

Interesting concept...

[CharlesS]

I think the MacNN post count should be implemented as a signed short int.

Imagine the surprise on Zimphire and gorickey's faces when they think they've got a really high post count, and all of a sudden take a look and see it's -32768!

[brapper]

gorickey amuses me often, for that I am thankful.
good for you rickey.

Wasn't bitching. Just made an observation. BTW, that was the first post I have ever made about someone's post count and it wasn't negative.

[MacGorilla]

My name is MacGorilla and I am a recovering fanboy

[djohnson]

Very nice! One day when I hit 10k, I will keep on going.

[Matt OS X]

Why not you post all your "gorickey" sigs from beginning to the lastest one? So we all can see and refresh our memories with your hundreds of sigs.

I'd care less. I hope demon gets rid of post counts.

That way we don't have to deal with the post count nazis.

These have all made an appearance at one time or another (these are not in order obviously)...and I'm missing a few more somewhere...

1.)

2.)

3.)

4.)

5.)

6.)

7.)

8.)

9.) (sorta ironic, eh?)

10.)

11.)

[MacMan4000]

is it just me or is manofsteal's new sig VERY VERY similar to mitchell_pgh's sig?

I think it is just you. If you're color-blinded, you won't think that way.

With the extra room in sigs now, a sweet one would be of Rickey sliding into second base, fully extended.

Definitely. I think any new sig will revolve around "stealing" now that I'm manofsteal...

Sliding into second behind bars?
