THE 10,000 Post Thread

Thanks for clearing that up.

Yeah you should just start at one, after all adding 10k to another number mentally isn't really that hard.

[astronelson 339]

OK, I'm for the "starting at 1 again" idea then.

[Muck308 55]

9281

Yeah me too. But I think I already said that.

[Larks2242 251]

9282.

But isn't the point to keep going and going and see how far we get? If we keep going back to 1 then everything we worked for dosen't count towards anything.

On the technical side of things, I'm going for a full reboot (including numbers). I don't want to have to figure out which post is the 20th post in order to keep our numbers straight. Of course, I've already voiced my opinion.

Larks: I don't honestly mind that we're starting at 1, seeing as how we all know we've (well, are going to) hit 10,000. If you really want to, you can have your post number + 10,000 underneth your rebooted number in the new thread...

I feel we should just keep going, but in a new thread. Why just stop and then restart if we have already got this far?

[Skimbo 304]

Startig a new thread after reaching 10.000 would be nice..... We should call it 100.000 posts thread then.... otherwhise we will have to restart it again

9826 - I dont mind either way.

The last page of this thread will only have 10 posts, instead of a full 30, so it will be off by 20. It's like if we had a page with ten posts and then when right to another page. We couldn't use the same formula.

If we do start at 1, we still would have had 10,001 posts in the combined 10,000 post threads. We'd just be going back to 1 for simplicity. It's like if you're counting to 30 by going like, 1, 2, ...9, 10, 1, 2, ...9, 20... The total number is still the same, just what you're saying is the simpler number.

Although, I don't think we'd be putting the numbers for that thread and what it would be for this one in the same post, you could just add up the numbers yourself. Although there's nothing stopping you from posting it in there too.

[Hamish 1,369]

Yeah, my bad, I realised once I posted

Alright, for simplicity sake starting back from 1 again does sound wise.

[astronelson 339]

So what will we call the new one? Just "The 10,000 Post Thread Mk. II" or something?

[Vahr 341]

10,000 Post Thread Reincarnate.

Jeez, who'd have thought which number set to use would be such a huge controversy? Here I thought starting over at 1 was a no-brainer.

(though, the fact that I despise continuous pagination and anything similar to it may have influenced that...)

The end of the 10,000 post thread is near...

[Muck308 55]

9294

Here's a question for you. When this thread ends and the other begins, if there are more than 78 posts in one day will that be considered a new record? I guess not because they will be in two different threads. I bet it will be a busy day though.

I am thinking about testing my GIMP skills and making a my avatar have a crumbled, burned, and abandonded look (like WA Mut Tow was in a bad earthquake and fire in a world without people), maybe saying "The Worst is Yet to Come" (parody of the early 20th century song) or "It Gets Worse (when we're gone)" but I have very little skill at doing so.

Same as sports records are kept both by season and all time, I figure I will keep records here both by thread and all-time.

Of course, if there are more than 78 posts in one day in the new thread, that's a record whether we include this thread or not.

[astronelson 339]

It's my birthday on Saturday. At least I don't have an exam on it this year.

[Chptrk 86]

9298.

Like I tell everyone Astro, you will not got a certain phrase wishing you an enjoyable day on Saturday until just then.

[Larks2242 251]

That diden't make any sense

Of course, but what if the day that record is broken is the same day we switch over? I assume it will be busy. That's what I meant to say.

New page!

[Larks2242 251]

You forgot your PFB warning good thing i diden't fall for it

[Duke87 1,070]

My plan on the ppd count for the changeover day is to include just the old thread in the list associated with the old thread and both in the list associated with the new thread.

[astronelson 339]

I think I'll go to bed at a sane time tonight.

[Skimbo 304]

math went good.... Let's hope for a nice result....

Today was my last full day of school for the year. I am now on study break before my exams start in six days time.
