Not trying to recommend this, but you can actually post more messages than 100 per day. You can actually double, triple, quadruple this by opening more than one window and posting in each one simultaneously. As you wait for one message to clear up (floodgate if it's still active), you can be replying in another thread. That's how I got 150 messages in an 8 hour period. I was working 3 windows simultaneously while we had a floodgate dealio of 90 seconds or more per post. So you don't look totally stupid, it helps if a lot of other people are posting at the same time. I was going back through all of the old threads that I hadn't read or responded too, and then posting a reply (hence not totally spam). Please don't do this though as I believe that caused the forum to crash back then. Especially if a lot of other people are posting at the same time. I was just trying to explain how I was able to get so many posts in an 8 hour timeframe.
I occasionally had two windows open at once when the forum was really busy (for instance one to keep an eye on a fast-developing thread and the second to browse around normally). I stopped because (I might have imagined this) the page has trouble loading. I'm sure everyone has encountered the problem that when the page has finished loading, you still can't see any posts. This happens to me about every second time I load a page . With two windows open, it sometimes takes six or seven tries to load the page. Not fun AT ALL. And I think it might cause problems, so I try not to do it anymore.
