Donut 02-22-2002 11:50 AM

When people used to start threads about how they had reached 1500 posts and stuff like that. I'm glad that Ziroc put his foot down and stopped all that rubbish.

I mean even if the poster had 1500 top quality, funny and interesting posts it still would be spam wouldn't it.

I'm glad I never get involved in that rubbish about how long I had been an emerald dragon and how boring it was and how long would it be before I became something else because that's just not interesting and must be stamped out at all costs and stuff!

;)

You were just born bad weren't you?!

Talthyr Malkaviel 02-22-2002 12:04 PM

I think he was born mischievous, but they injected him with bad as an experiment.

MILAMBER 02-22-2002 03:58 PM

Yes, it really is for the better that people don't post that rubbish any more ;)

Congrats!

Galadria 02-22-2002 05:03 PM

Hehe, I didn't get it until about halfway down, being blonde and all. "How do you get a blonde to laugh tomorrow? Tell her a joke now."

Legolas 02-22-2002 05:13 PM

Well, good thing those days are over [img]tongue.gif[/img]

At least you've saved me the trouble of creating my own "Ooh look! I am a Hathor!" post ;)

What is it they say? Ah yes!
May you have many more [img]smile.gif[/img]

Lady Avalon 02-22-2002 06:01 PM

Congratulations Donut!!!!!

Davros 02-22-2002 06:13 PM

Well done Donut - not for quantity, but for quality. Not often I give you a compliment "ole bean" - but I figure the change of strategy may drive you nuts trying to work out if there is a hidden meaning :D . Also it brings me one post closer to 1500 myself ;) .

*\Conan/* 02-23-2002 12:39 PM

Great posting 77 [img]smile.gif[/img] I look foward to reading many more!

Just out of idle curiousity, do you think anyone really cares?

Nope, noone cares the least about the amount of posts that I have [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Not even I, but it'd be fun to see if Z had some secret Avatar and rank hidden up at 10000 posts....

Lord of Alcohol 02-23-2002 09:26 PM

If you dont care why do you keep bringing it up in thread after thread? So obviously yes you do care. May I ask why?

Ummm.... I don't care, Z could knock me down to one post and I wouldn't care.

Lord of Alcohol 02-23-2002 09:46 PM

Ok, I will ask him to do so since thats ok with you! [img]smile.gif[/img] Welcome New User!

SSJ4Sephiroth 02-23-2002 10:14 PM

well congratulations on not getting 1500 posts Donut! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ladyzekke 02-23-2002 10:40 PM

LOL - I think that would be outrageosly umm funny :D . And seeing as Neb from all appearances is OK with it.........

Nordoki 02-26-2002 07:54 PM

All this dribble about post counts reminds me of message boards for Diablo 2 that no longer exist.

Seems they were having some problems with people and the types of posts they were putting up. As a threat they were warned that their post count would be reduced a certain percentage.

It brought up a question nobody was able to answer me: if I attain X amount of posts would I recieve a free toaster or something for the accomplishment.

It's all a number and a sorry reminder of just how little of a life one truely has. That being said, I congratulate me for reaching 30.

Was one of the bad old days when we used to try to spam our way out of Stone Golem hell?

Heh heh, yeah, and I remember that Rikard had muddled through all 500 posts of SGH and right after he did, Ziroc changed the ranking to "Emerald Dragon". I remember Rikard being right peeved about that, I do! ;) :D

Cheers,

Scholarcs 02-26-2002 10:57 PM

Stone Golem Hell? Well I'm glad thats gone before I get there...
