well, what happened? And the people who did so well, where are they ( dare I mention PBD). And I enjoyed most all the "serious" dudes responding with outcries like 'close this thread now!!' (dare I mention Cipher). As a bystander I liked the cat and mouse play. So c'mon all you mindless wankers, get back in shape and post your nonsens!

I think people should never post just to raise their post count.

maybe when he hits 10,000 all the colors on the board will change to inverted ones and the faces will all change into different heads... like in Super Mario World when you beat "Special" and everything goes haywire... that'd be awesome...

Ah yes, useless threads... I've missed them. Adding 1 to my post count.

Kind of ironic, though, that I registered before everyone else here, yet I have the least number of posts. Maybe I should go the road of useless one word replies... LOL

EDIT: Well, almost the least amount. Does this count for another?

lol@users complaining that the flood control stops them spamming. lo the irony!

What the nerd community most often fail to realize is that all features aren't equal. A well implemented and well integrated feature in a convenient interface is worth way more than the same feature implemented crappy, or accessed through a annoying interface.

I know that I certainly don't view this as merely upping my post count. I'm giving you more to read, therefore more of an excuse to put off whatever it is you're supposed to be doing right now!
Yeah, about those TPS reports, didn't you get the memo?

By all means, feel free to study. But ONLY after you finish reading my important and earth-shattering posts. Only then will you be a complete person.
