Let it not be said that I did nothing to maintain this post alive and well! 46681 and counting!
46,682 :check:
What's the target of the post race now?
46683
No. It's got to be 46684. That is of course until someone posts 46685.
But who would be mean enough to do that?
EDIT: whoops.... :o
timeshifter shifted time and posted #46685. It was so fast they I almost forgot #46686!
First!
Oh... wait... :(
I just caluculated that this thread has averaged around 5400 posts per year so far. That's just under 15 posts per day. Why don't we set a new goal and see if we can reach 100,000 posts before New Year's day 2010. We'd had to average around 250 posts per day to reach the goal. I'm just joking. The moderators probably wouldn't like that too much.
Let's try to overload VBF?
This post made my day.Quote:

You wouldn't be a very good one though.
I have to agree with you! All they would get is 1's, 0's and pixelized naked ladies.
History has a way of repeating itself.
Penfold sarcasm serves well...
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my eyes, it burns...........
wait, that's from spongebob the movie :afrog:Quote:

And posts should not count unless the poster affirms that
he/she/it has read ALL prior posts, which I hereby affirm.
BTW, I started reading these posts 11 months ago, and just
made it to the end.
EDIT.. best post pic - 46,608
I hereby affirm that I have not read all prior posts. Perhaps 0.4 % of all prior posts if that.
Why should I read all posts, it's a post race not a read race!
There was some guy earlier in this thread who did read the entire thing. I pity the foo'
He migth have lost an eye doing all that reading, so it can be you!
All members who post from here on should be BANNED.
Oh, wait.. TimeShifter already is... a lot of good that did
If I ban myself, this planet will explode.
What planet are you on?
I'm glad to see that your Saturn to Earth internet connection is working well.
Did we win this race yet?
The original goal was I think 1000 posts so you could say we won the race more than 46 times over.
Sounds good to me!
So mendhak is responsible for all the anal probing? :oQuote:

When I decided upon a computer language to start learning in mid 2005 the word "visual" in Visual Basic influenced me. Consider how much we are all influenced by what we see through our two little eyes.Quote:

Only if you post more.
Why have there been ten times as many views as posts? Are there really ten people viewing this tripe for everybody who adds to it?

Edit entry: I was noticing that many of the threads have much more than 10 times as many views as posts. The thread Why are you not a believer in the existence of God? has 449 posts but well over 7,000 views. So the view to post ratio for this thread is on the low side.
I have been doing a little research... this might be the longest ongoing forum thread in the world. :eek2:
What other threads from other forums are on the list? I wonder what the first internet forum was and when did it come into existence?
I am 10. Thank you.
You are 10 what?
Oh, is this still going on??
.
Jesus Christ! I've just discovered this thread. One thing I know for sure - this thread is very close to coming alive in the weirdest artificial intelligence form and will haunt everyone who'd ever posted here.
Wait a minute... this includes me as well now. OH SHI-
It lives!
Shaggy, you'll be pleased to know that you are somewhere in 90's on the Who Posted list for this thread with 23 posts.
Who's keeping the tab?
The Who Posted window is. If when you have the Chit Chat or any other section before you with the Replies column and the Views column, you click on the number of replies for a particular thread then you get the Who Posted mini-window. It's only interesting if it is a thread that has a large number of posts.
I was just looking at the list for this thread and it's interesting to see some of the names that VBForums members have. There are many I've never seen before.
Actually, the only reason I had added that last post was because I was reviewing the list and realized that if I added just one more post I would move ahead of a handful of people. Not much of an achievement to be able to say that I have posted more worthless excrement than some other set, but you gotta start somewhere.
What totally blows my mind is that baark managed over seven thousand posts in this thread. It took me YEARS to get seven thousand real posts. To get that many random, crappy, posts would be indicative of an amazing focus on insignificant achievements.
I guess one more would be good.
What about the guy in 2nd place.
He musta gotten so frazzled that he blew his own mind.
He probably read through the entire thread. Using the knowledge he attained he realised that in order for life to progress on this planet it needs to return to its primitive forms. He then turned into a bowl off Jello.
Unfortunately VBForums does not allow a bowl of Jello to post. So he got banned.
You could concentrate on trying to post valuable excrement and then try to graduate to more sought after forms of matter eventually arriving at a state where you are posting gold.Quote:

It strikes me that the Forum boys could improve
the Who's Posted window by:
1. adding a column containing row numbers (to see rank)
2. enable sort on User Name column (and thus, also, Posts column)
I noticed that there are two members with the name Bonker Gudd on the Who Posted list. One with 34 posts in this thread and the other with 2,081. Both spellings are identical which is surprising. There is also a member with the name BonkerGudd(no space). All these Bonkers make the vast majority of their postings in Chit-Chat. The Bonker Gudd with 34 posts in Post Race has a total of 99 posts, 94 of which are Chit-Chat, 1 VB6 Forum and 4 Forum Feedback. Imagine if all VBForums members had such a balance of Chit-Chat posts.
That link that you see for VB6 wasn't created by me. I just typed VB6 and it created a link that gives you a window to pre-order Visual Studio 2010. That is a bit odd.
And I didn't create that Visual Studio link either. VBForums is becoming an auto-link site I see.
And Shaggy before you
know it I'm
