Post Race!

[emartinho]

Let it not be said that I did nothing to maintain this post alive and well! 46681 and counting!

[Bonker Gudd]

46,682

[Ray.Of.The.Damed]

What's the target of the post race now?

46683

[EntityX]

No. It's got to be 46684. That is of course until someone posts 46685.

[timeshifter]

But who would be mean enough to do that?

EDIT: whoops....

[Ray.Of.The.Damed]

timeshifter shifted time and posted #46685. It was so fast they I almost forgot #46686!

[TheBigB]

First!

Oh... wait...

[EntityX]

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.

[timeshifter]

Let's try to overload VBF?

[kregg]

First!

Oh... wait...

This post made my day.

[Ray.Of.The.Damed]

If aliens sucked your brain out would they gain anything or would they lose something?

[duc]

well i'll be damned

[mendhak]

You wouldn't be a very good one though.

[Ray.Of.The.Damed]

I have to agree with you! All they would get is 1's, 0's and pixelized naked ladies.

[Atheist]

History has a way of repeating itself.

[TheBigB]

Penfold sarcasm serves well...

[visualAd]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my eyes, it burns...........

[TheBigB]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my eyes, it burns...........

wait, that's from spongebob the movie

[Bonker Gudd]

I've lost my cheese

[Spoo]

OK, I'm 46,700.

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

[EntityX]

I hereby affirm that I have not read all prior posts. Perhaps 0.4 % of all prior posts if that.

[opus]

Why should I read all posts, it's a post race not a read race!

[mendhak]

There was some guy earlier in this thread who did read the entire thing. I pity the foo'

[opus]

He migth have lost an eye doing all that reading, so it can be you!

[Spoo]

All members who post from here on should be BANNED.

Oh, wait.. TimeShifter already is... a lot of good that did

[mendhak]

If I ban myself, this planet will explode.

[Bonker Gudd]

What planet are you on?

[EntityX]

I'm glad to see that your Saturn to Earth internet connection is working well.

[thegreatone]

Did we win this race yet?

[EntityX]

The original goal was I think 1000 posts so you could say we won the race more than 46 times over.

[thegreatone]

Sounds good to me!

[Ray.Of.The.Damed]

So mendhak is responsible for all the anal probing?

[FourBlades]

Ok...why not...

It was ok. I definitely haven't looked at them all but I looked at the others on that page of posts and post pic 46,633 I thought was better. I think I'm too much into the visual. 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.

[emartinho]

Since page 779 starts with me, shall it end with me as well?

[Shaggy Hiker]

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?

[EntityX]

You see Shaggy, people say, "Oh look that thread has got thousands and thousands of posts it must be really good. I've got to take a look at it." Once they do they come to the realization that it's junk so they have the good judgement to not contribute to it with the exception of the suckers like you and me.

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.

[EntityX]

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?
