I'll put it another way:-

You can no more describe my greatness than you can give a proper answer to anything divided by zero. Its too high for lowly human quantifying constructs to properly describe.

There is a huge gap after 2006 or something and most of the posts are from 2000-2001.

I did read Homer13j's post about the Suzuki DR650 with "nearly 78,000 messages", although he said it had only been going for 7 years, unlike the Post Race which is almost 13 years old. That makes me wonder if there any threads with a substantial post count > 13 years old?

At one point I even thought we were going to get to see Niya's version of Yotamarker (A.I where "its main purpose is to be a girlfriend or fight real battles") complete with youtube videos!!!

John Doe: Hey Jim, have you seen that Fake Artificial Intelligence that moti barski made on VBF?

Jim: I did, John. This guy can't be serious. This is all just one massive joke, right?

John: To be honest, I don't, Jim. But, for his sake, I hope so.

moti barski: its main purpose is to be a girlfriend or fight real battles

the invention is a software that makes the
computer mimic the brain action of thinking for three brain types :
human, animal, human and animal combination. to accomplish this the
software uses several stages detailed in the specification.

John Doe: *** are you talking about man?

moti barski: im lonely...

Jim: Yeah... we got that...

There were puns to make, but those were pages ago. Nothing much new being said. I was wondering whether all this activity would resurrect CyberSurfer.
