Post Race!

[Shaggy Hiker]

There is actually only 39 posts left, by my count.

[dday9]

41 post left.

[Shaggy Hiker]

And since we seem to be interleaving posts, that count drops by two each time.

[dday9]

40 post left.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Niya isn't just not getting ahead of Barrk, but has just dropped back past one other poster.

[dday9]

39 post left.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I predict that dday will post on beyond the 50K.

[dday9]

38 post left.

[dday9]

37 post left.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I need to skip a post.

[dday9]

36 post left.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Got onto the even track, perhaps.

[dday9]

35 post left.

[Shaggy Hiker]

The count, as of this one, will actually be 24 posts left.

[dday9]

34 post left.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I knew there would be a race setting up right around the 50K, and I was right.

[dday9]

Nooo!

[Shaggy Hiker]

It's odd that dday isn't seeing the page refresh.

[dday9]

Why did I refresh my page?

[Shaggy Hiker]

Oops, I guess the secret is out.

[dday9]

I said that I wouldn't :[

[Shaggy Hiker]

Why doesn't your page refresh every time you post? That's what I'm curious about.

[Shaggy Hiker]

At least the 50K mark will be reached sooner than anticipated.

[dday9]

Well 16 post left...

[Shaggy Hiker]

Ha! A clever gambit.

[dday9]

Why doesn't your page refresh every time you post? That's what I'm curious about.

Nope, I have to manually refresh it. Generally what I do is:

1) Type nonsense for the post race
2) Press Alt + S to send
3) Refresh

but if I'm just typing to type, I skip part 3.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Why say 16 when your post, alone, left it at only 14 posts left?

[Shaggy Hiker]

In any case, we're almost there, which is good.

[dday9]

 For i As Integer = 9 to 1 Step -1
  vbforums.quickreply.post(String.Format("{0} post left!", i})
Next

A quick way out :P

[Shaggy Hiker]

I didn't really expect to get back-to-back posts at that point.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Yeah, that might do. Add a 30 second sleep in that loop.

[dday9]

I predict that the 50,000th post will be at the very bottom of page 2500.

[dday9]

Yeah, that might do. Add a 30 second sleep in that loop.

:0

I'd make a terrible auto typer program :/

[Shaggy Hiker]

It looks like I need four more posts so that I pass Flustor. I'm not sure who that is.

[dday9]

Well I will now go to lunch a handful of post short of 50,000.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Auto typing would be duller than what is already happening.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I really doubt that.

I'm not sure if I am surprised to see that Witis is not here, or surprised to not see Witis here.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I expect that dday is in for the win.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Wow! I got the 50K post. I didn't expect that.

I think I also need this post to get past Flustor.

[dday9]

My prediction was correct, the 50k post was the last post on the 2.5k page.
