Lunch - Day 1 of the 1st Ashes Test in Brisbane.

England 2/86 of 26.0 overs - Scorecard

England's captain Andrew Strauss got out third ball to a wide delivery, caught in the gully. But England managed to recover to 86 with the loss of only two wickets. It is about honours even at the lunch break. Play will resume in about 15 minutes.

Yes...just as I thought, I'm the only one nice enough here to offer the post to someone else.

I will most likely drop out of the final bumrush so as to avoid being part of the inevitable overflow.

(though, we are going to move those posts to the new thread, right?)

[astronelson 339]

9856.

That would probably take a while. I thought the plan was to lock and pin this thread, and start anew.

[Larks2242 251]

I'm watching a movie

Astro, it wouldn't take long, just a few clicks to move them all. But yeah, I thought that we were going to just lock this, sticky it, and start a new thread.

9859 - Is there any solid plans of what we will do when we reach 10k?

[astronelson 339]

9860.

We'd best think up a plan fast, we only have 140 posts remaining.

[Larks2242 251]

9861.

Hmm this movie is hard to sit through :\

The problem is this: if we don't move the excess posts over and count them towards to total of the new thread, then we let them fall into limbo and count towards neither. We also throw the logic of "just add 10,000 to the number for the overall total" awry.

Ideally, what would happen is that as soon as the staff recognizes that post 10,000 has been made, this thread is locked, and a new thread is created purely out of any excess posts. Post 10001 becomes post 1, post 10002 becomes post 2, etc. This creates the most seamless transition possible, keeping everything in order and cleanly clicking over after the mark is reached.

Yeah that sounds good, Duke.

Ok, Larks. What movie are you watching. I've grown far too curious!

[astronelson 339]

9864.

Hmm. I'm having a bit of a problem with textures in GMAX.

[Ocram's Razr 963]

I just saw a movie now I am watching a Disney movie on the family channel.

Its called "Submerged" When i picked it up i was thinking die hard on a sub, sadly it was nothing of the sort it was filmed in Bulgari, but yet they claimed it was Uruguay which they got sued over for portraying them as so croupt, the whole thing with the submarine lasted about 10 mins. Seagal's voice was dubbed the entire movie, and some wack storyline about mind control that made no sence.

I'm a big fan of Steven Seagal, he is my favorite actor but come on mind control???? Get real once in a while he has a gem but for every gem (Urban Justice, Under Seige, Hard to kill, Exit wounds, The forghinor, Black Dawn, The Patroit, Into the sun) He has twice the wack movies (Out for a Kill, Out of Reach, Kill Swich, Shadow man, Today you die, Belly of the beast) So its take your chance with him 75% of my DVD collection is by him   I've only skipped two movies he was in cause they look sooo bad that one about vampires and attack force i don't do horror. He has had 4 movies come out this year alone ( The keeper, A Dangerous Man, Machate, Born to rasie hell) talk about being busy only one made the thearter, you really need to dig to find the rest.

[astronelson 339]

I think I've figured out my texture problem. I didn't have a UVW map. Now I just need to figure out how to apply that properly and I'll be all set.

[Chptrk 86]

Wouldn't we need to first make the first post of the new thread before we're able to move an carry-overs?

I don't think there've a button here for "Move posts for new thread." Unless we started it, moved the posts, and then deleted the post we used to start the thread.

[Larks2242 251]

9868.

Well we still haven't decited if we are gonna continure this thread in a new thread or start way back at and forget about this one.

Hmm... this is a shortcoming of the forum software. I suppose moving the overflow posts to after the new OP is a good option, even if not ideal.

Although, there is another effective albeit inelegant solution: simply delete all the overflow posts.

And Larks, we decided a while back that we're starting over at 1 in a new thread.

[astronelson 339]

9871.

That alternative doesn't really appeal...

[Chptrk 86]

9872.

Deleting the overflow would work, but then comes the matter of who starts the next thread. I have the idea that after the overflow of, "10,000!!! WHOOO!!!!" There'll be an overflow of, "New 10,000 post thread!! WHoo!! (REAL ONE!!!!)" and that kind of stuff...would we just go with who ever's is the oldest then?

helping to reach 10,000

[astronelson 339]

9874.

Well, that's the PFB on this page gone.

[Larks2242 251]

9875.

I just don't see the point of starting over its like this ment nothing.

[Chptrk 86]

9876.

It's not starting over like it meant nothing, if we were to continue this thread, it'd take forever to load. And if we start a new one, the first post of that thread isn't that threads 10,001th post. It'd be the 10,001th post overall for both threads, and it's not that hard to add that in your head to figure out what the total is.

[astronelson 339]

9877.

Yes, how hard is it to mentally add 10,000?

[Larks2242 251]

9878.

Yea, but if you continue counting up its like this thread is continuing but just without the PFB right?
