The 10,000 Post thread V3

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

1 10,000: Boom.

DAMMIT!

 

Sorry dude! But as a consolation you get to start the new thread!

 

1. 2 post rule is in effect, as with any forum game. If you are unsure what that is, go see the forum game rules.

     1.1 Updated 5 October 2019

Replacing the old 2-Post Rule (2PR) previously in effect, there is now a 1-Post Rule (1PR) which applies to all Forum Games topics. This means to reply again inside any given forum game, there must be ONE other poster who replies after your previous post. - CB

2. Your post cannot be just the number, generally it should follow the ongoing conversation.

3. Spamming is strictly prohibited and doing so will have you be smitten by bunnies.

4. Obviously, include the number in your post.

 

For reference:

So is this the real one? Or was Duke making it? Delete me if you need to.

Well, that was exciting. Onwards to the next 10,000!

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

I really wanted post number 7.

Well, with all that taken care of, now I am going to bed. See y'all in the morning.

single digit... how very odd...

Same goes for double digits.

Well, I made more posts last thread than I did the one before, I'll see if I can make more this thread than the last one! I'd really like to break 10% of the total posts over all three threads. That requires I make 1058 posts.

So I did a lot better then I thought I would... even with that whole not being around for a couple of years.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

13: Nice to see you back though!

Indeed, but some are more best than others.

 

Will v2 be pinned like the original was?

[Kiiroitori 55]

I recon then should add an extra zero to each new thread version thats made (ie: v1 wud be 10,000, v2 100,000, v3 1000,000) >< then it will really be interesting yet probably to a point its impossible to finish a mark and start a new thread or take an extreme long time ><

That was a very sad moment, I was sleeping when the thread reached 10.000 posts

Yay for stats!

Well, at least I'll be on the first page of the new thread.  Did you see those stats the last time around?  NUMBER FOUR, BABY!  WOO!  I'll catch you this time, astronelson.  Maybe not, I'm full of empty threats.

Meh. Honestly, I think it's just confusing to have the old locked thread pinned up top while the one people should be looking for is underneath it, and that would only get sillier with two dead threads up there. So, original thread unpinned.

NMUSpidey: I believe the traditional phrase in this situation is "proceed towards me, acquaintance".

 

Duke: Fair enough.

Same here. I'm gonna try to post more in this one. Maybe I can make it on the leaderboard.

How much time did it take you to make that?

Yeah I was away for a bit too. One might speculate that the absence of you, myself and Korot had something to do with v2 moving slower. At least a bit. Has anyone heard from Korot recently?

[Cyclone Boom 17,032]

Those are some incredible stats, Duke!

 

Do you use some kind of data collection software? I can't imagine how long it would take to count each post by hand!

[Duke87 1,070]

It's not as difficult as you might think. For one thing, it's not like I just sat down and typed in the names for 10,000 posts one day. That file was being updated pretty continuously over the entire course of the thread, so I was usually typing in less than 10 names at a time (I already have a new one going for this thread). The most work happened whenever a newcomer came to the thread, forcing me to scroll up and add their name to the rankings.

 

As for the list itself, Excel is smart enough to autocomplete for you based on previous entries, so unless someone else whose username began with "D" had posted in the thread recently, all I had to do to type my name in is hit D and then hit enter. And even if someone else whose name began with "D" had posted recently, unless it also began with "Du", typing my name just became D, U, enter.

 

 

Korot last logged in a couple months ago and has not made any posts since 2011.

Y'all been busy I see.

[Muck308 55]

Very busy. I just napped for four hours.

[Duke87 1,070]

I just saw some pretty funny comedians.

[Larks2242 251]

Anyone Famous?

I haven't been to a live event (concert, sports game, etc.) in over a year. 

Movies are a different story. Last movie I saw in theatres was 42. Good movie.

Supposedly some of these people had made appearances on various shows but I'd never heard of any of them. But then again, the number of comedians whose names I am familiar with is not that large.
