Post Race!

Weren't all those post made when there wasn't a 30 second waiting period

So long as they could type a sentence faster than 30 seconds, then they where ok.

Not sure, the thread was first replied to by Jamagei who replied:
ok
sure
we
can
try [and reach 1000 posts]

but by the 7th post got bored of himself saying
"Ok i am very bored. To have to have done this" ;p

The same insanity continued until page 24 when 1000 replies were reached; from that point onwards the thread regained its sanity, the posts turned into complete sentences, and the race was transformed into a lot more fun!

The fast posting was all at the beginning, after 1000 replies were reached (page 24) there was less posting pressure and much much more content per post, and any attempts to bring back the insanities were usually short lived!

From barrk's posts:

[favourite animal] Definitely cats - especially kittens
I like the way they happily sit there for hours doing nothing in particular...they remind me of me.
Programmers get overlaid.

I just leave for few hours only to come back and find you crying like a little girl here on the forum....

What Niya is doing is just stupid and boring, for most of his post he hasn't written anything at all, and is overtly and deliberately trying to drag the entire thread down

You have got to be the biggest moron alive. Every forum out there save the MSDN forum has at least one picture thread with thousands of posts. I don't think anyone was concerned with all that bullshit you're talking about.

instead of playing according to the the spirit of the race!

I'm playing to win you noob.

[Niya]

That covers the top 2 posters in the thread: barrk (katie) and Parksie (Mike), what Niya has been doing is a disgrace by comparison!

Do you think Niya cares what you think ? Witis has no meaning in Niya's world! Get on a higher level kid and stop being a *****.

It's nice that I haven't read the first thousand pages completely, because now I can add to my collection of unread pages. It's good to have a collection.

That picture of Wolverine is messed up. For one thing, is that a clavicle? If it is, what's it doing on top of the muscle? If it isin't, then what the heck is it? There isn't enough space for a flea between that costume and skin, so what the heck IS that thing?

[Shaggy Hiker]

Aw, poop. Niya got a couple posts in between the image I was refering to and comment about it.

Don't worry there'll be plenty more

Which one are you referring to ? The first one ?

I maintain the post race is still going at least in part due to Parksie, for example look at Cybersufer's avatar which says "for Parksie"! Moreover, I am not convinced the thread is madness, the relative sanity or craziness involved depends entirely on the posters in the race! In Niya's case he lost it entirely a long time ago!!!

I maintain that you showed up only about two years ago and are now deciding what the spirit of this thread is all about and who it was for. Parksie isn't remembered for posting a bunch of stuff in the Post Race.

Aside from that, each person has a personality, and this thread has lived and died repeatedly for a very long time. Niya is nothing but a phase in a complex entity that existed before he showed up, and may continue long after he has lost interest. There aren't any rules. Go track down CyberSurfer and see whether or not he cares about a bunch of pictures of overly-developed women in improbable outfits.

Yea I see your point. I'd imagine if a suit like that were real, it would be bad for your health. It'll probably give you some killer cramps at best and mess up your skin at worst.

Why lightning from your hands? It's always from your hands? Even Spiderman shoots web from his hands. We are so hand oriented. Spiders don't spin silk from their feet, so why should Spiderman shoot web from his hands. It would be a MUCH different story if he shot silk from his butt like a spider. As for the lightning, Does that mean that she's got some kind of massive charge? She and Magneto ought to be inseparable (in so many ways) if that were the case.

Well our hands are the primary way we interact with the world so I guess it makes sense in that their powers are an exaggerated way of interacting with the world.

Storm is closer to Iceman that she is to Magneto. She like Iceman can manipulate the cold.

[Niya]

Also, Magneto manipulates the Earth's magnetic field or some such thing for his power.
