THE 10,000 Post Thread

I'm sure I just opened a can of worms. It's nearly summer and I'll be out of town a ton... but I have until 10,000 to beat un! On another note... it's been like two months or something since Sarah broke up with me... but I met 2 girls tonight... ok 1 is an old hook up but I think I'm finally back on the horse. Oh yeah... I turn freakin' 30 years old today. Yay. This crap was never supposed to happen!

That screw up was my bad, by the way. So like I said... my bad.

Happy Birthday Muck

5884 Congrats from me too, Muck

Happy Birthday from me, as well.

Well we are more then halfway any guesses for the day of the 10,000th post?

[Skimbo 304]

early 2011?

Well, the thread started September 14, 2009. It is now June 6, 2010, some 265 days, which is an average rate of 22.2188679... posts per day. Dividing 10,000 by this yields 450 days from the initial post, which is 1 year, 85 days from the initial post or 185 days from today, which is...

December 8, 2010.

This estimate is almost certainly wrong, but an interesting exercise nevertheless. I'm using my time zone, by the way. Your dates may differ.

[Vahr 341]

5889

Ah, but we're oh so unpredictable

[Duke87 1,070]

(5890)

Yeah, the rate certainly isn't constant.

[astronelson 339]

5891.

A general estimate of November 2010 to January 2011 would be reasonable though, wouldn't it?

[Chptrk 86]

5892.

I could very easily br proven wrong, but I'm saying this anyways. The great thing about estimates (with ST, especially) is...that they're usually pretty off.

[Duke87 1,070]

(5893)

Forcing nonlinear data to a linear model will do that.

[Skimbo 304]

5894 And you will show up the statistics of the whole thread when we reached 10000

[Larks2242 251]

5895.

I bet Duke can't wait to do that

[Duke87 1,070]

(5896)

The interesting question is what will happen upon reaching 10,000. Obviously the thread should then be locked (and perhaps a new one started), but that won't happen immediately - and with the inevitable snipiing there is likely to be a little bit of overflow. What to do about that?

I would propose that we just take any posts after the 10,000th and move them over to the new thread (Vince, you listening? ), but I suppose that isn't absolutely necessary. Either way, I'm not counting them. 10,000 is the cutoff. No playing after the buzzer sounds!

[Muck308 55]

5897

That seems like a good idea.

[astronelson 339]

5898.

We could then rename the thread "The 20,000 Post Thread", but that would probably take much too long to load. A new 10,000 post thread after the end of this one sounds fun, though.

echo 'Lets see if PHP code works in the forum...';

hmm so it doesnt.

[Duke87 1,070]

(5900)

I wonder if COBOL works here. 

[astronelson 339]

5901.

I don't know either language, so I couldn't help you there.

[Chptrk 86]

5902. (Hoping not to be caught by PFB, this better be right)

I wonder if SPANISH works here...

Yea, I don't know computer code. I took a programming class once, so I could mess around with Java a bit.

Oh, and my current posts, (1818) is the year my state, Illinois, became a state.

5902 5903 I had dinner before I posted

Why not make it the 15,000 post thread after 10,000 posts have been accomplished?

The first 100 posts after 10,000 would most likely be celebratory.

Lady GaGa is extremely avant-garde. I am not all that in to avant-garde, though.

[astronelson 339]

5904.

Don't worry, the page doesn't change until after post #5910.

I like some of Lady Gaga's songs. Poker Face, Just Dance and Telephone are my favourites out of the ones I can remember listening to, and are the only Lady Gaga songs I own.

[Larks2242 251]

Yuck, where has the real music gone?

Now all i hear is ring tone songs on the radio when will it stop so we can go back to real music that had purpose?

I can't even listen to the radio anymore and yet Soulja Boy has the audacity to call out Ice-T????

[Skimbo 304]

5906 Real music s for everyone something elles, Larks.

Hm, seems we will reach 6000 today or tomorrow.

Have you checked behind the couch?

It really depends on your definition of real music.

Ooh, a list. Let's see how many of these I know - I'll cross out the ones I don't.

Tupac, Easy-E, Spice 1, UDI, Cold world hustlers, Krs-One, DJ Quik, Too $hort, MC Eiht, MC Ren, MC Breed, Eric B and Rakim ,EPMD, E-40, 213, Richie Rich, San Quinn and EA-Ski, Warren G, Nate Dogg, Rappin 4 tay, Seagram, Geto Boys,Mac Mall, Mac Dre, Scarface, Luniz, Sean T, King Tee, 415, AMG, 11/5, 2nd II None, Above The Law, B-Legit, Battlecat, Cella Dwellas, Chunk, Deco-D, Wu-tang Clan (GZA,RZA,ODB) Method man, Redmen, Nas, Ni9e, Psk-13, Psycho, Seff the Gaffla, The 49ers, Young Dre D, Craig Mack, Busta Rhymes (old stuff) AZ, The firm, A tribe called Quest, Naughty by Nature, 8Ball & MJG (old stuff) UGK, De la soul Bone thugs and LL Cool Jquote>

Huh. None of them.

Personally, I cannot stand most rap. Too much violence and swearing for my tastes. I will listen to almost anything else.

And does anyone else find rap musicians who live in mansions singing about life in the ghetto slightly... odd? Or is that just me?

Now all i hear is ring tone songs on the radio when will it stop so we can go back to real music that had purpose?quote>

So... just because a song sounds nice, it is automatially is not real and has no purpose? Or is popularity inversely proportional to meaning? I don't think either is true.

I can't even listen to the radio anymore and yet Soulja Boy has the audacity to call out Ice-T????quote>

I don't know either of them. I find I can listen to the radio quite well. I'm not quite sure how Soulja Boy calling out Ice-T is at odds with you not listening to the radio any more.

On the topic of music, here's a few rather nice songs that have meaning.

Enjoy!

I can do a little better than astro here:

5910 I used to like rap and hip hop (now I am into jazz and Reggaeton).

So I know the following:

Tupak Shakur (2pac), DJ Quik, Too $hort, Richie Rich, Warren G, Nate Dogg, Geto Boys, Mac Dre, Scarface, Wu-tang Clan, NaS, Busta Rhymes (had a comeback when he remixed and composed with pop singers), Naughty by Nature, UGK, Bone Thugs in Harmony, and of course LL Cool J (used to be all cool and sensuous now is all gangster and "swagger" his new image also came from remixing and composing and singing with new singers).

EDIT: There should be a Page Flip Bug (as astronelson said). Type in STARTPAGE=198 before you post.

Rap has had its moments, but it's mostly mediocre at best. And anything released after "Ridin'" (January 2006) sucks, with no exceptions. That was rap's swan song. Now the genre has moved into the category of "that damn noise that kids listen to these days".
