Yes another pointless stat thread! :banana:

Only 16 more registered adventurers to 9000 :beer:

(yeah, I know, but someone had to do it...)

Eldular

The last countdown thread to 8000, was february 2005, that's 1000 new members in a half year :eek:

I know I tell people about SP. The SPers are ready to help with *any* type of question asked and (usually) don't get snarky if the question's been answered already. My friends thought I was a fount of Baldur's Gate knowledge, until they came here and discovered my secret! :holy:

It's a pity everybody doesn't keep posting, but RL attacks happen and I like to think most are still reading SP even if they don't post. I didn't lurk for very long before jumping into pool.

EDIT: The total's down to 13 now.

12 more to go.

Of course the real party starts at 10K! :beer: :banana:

I know SPF will hit it both the 9k and 10k marks very soon, so let me jump the gun and say:

Congrats Tal, it is a worthy thing you have created, and hats off to the Mods and Contributers who have given of themselves to make this a place the rest of us get to come into and enjoy at our leisure.

Now, all of you who work so hard to make this a great place, GET BACK TO WORK!!! ;)

Only 11 to go now.

A :wave: to all the new members, hopefully they won't stay as another number in the statistics of 2 or less posters.

You can't beat a few pointless statistics!

Bion

Cmon, HB, where's the banana gremlin?

I don't think you're nearly as enthusiastic about this as you should be!

Fri, 30th Sep '05, 2:16am
9000? I should make it some time soon, I guess. Thanks for concern. :p :lol:

Arabwel

You mean you're the daddy, then? and responsible for all these n00blets? :D

You mean you're the daddy, then? and responsible for all these n00blets? The Magpie, stop dating women! ;) or at least stop when we shall be at 9000. Let the natural flow of nature do it.

5 more spots left; get 'em while they're hot! :roll:
I predict 9K by next Tuesday. Heck, probably by tommorrow. And considering the last 500 joined in only 4 months, it looks like we'll hit 10K in June. :eek:

Mon, 3rd Oct '05, 1:04am
8997 currently, so I stand by my forcast of 9K by Tuesday.

Ofelix
Mon, 3rd Oct '05, 1:15am
my forcast of 9K by Tuesday. Yes tuesday we will receive some n00b rain in the whatsnot region. there is a 40% chance of purposeless statistics in the Sorcerous Sundries area. Playground resident are lucky it will be shiny and postless this tuesday.
And those of you who leave in the Alley of Dangerous angle, be warry of the dangerous hurricane Felinoid


That was Ofelix for the SP chanel forcast. We'll return to Kuemper to the Hot news after these messages.

:lol: ....... What?

Arabwel
Mon, 3rd Oct '05, 5:10am
Well, all hail Tor - we're up to 8998 :D

kuemper
Mon, 3rd Oct '05, 5:12am
Gak! Where are these nooblets coming from? That's rhetorical, people. My guesstiment of 9K by Tuesday is looking very bleak. :( Ah well, it's not whether I am right but that more people read and donate to this fora.

Register
Mon, 3rd Oct '05, 6:49am
I had nothing to do, so I registered a smurf account just to steal the 9000th spot. :p Unfortunatly, I forgot the t in hotmail when I registered the e-mail, so I couldn't post a funny post with that account. :/

Arabwel
Mon, 3rd Oct '05, 6:55am
Bad Rutkowski! No cookie for you!

Harbourboy
Mon, 3rd Oct '05, 6:56am
Hmm, that would have been extremely against the rules so it's lucky for you that you DON'T have a 'homail' email account.

Felinoid
Mon, 3rd Oct '05, 7:01am
:flaming: Ahhhh! You ruined it! You stole the prestigious #9000 spot from some worthy SPer and trivialized this entire thread. Have you no respect for the world of SP? I will say good day to you sir.

/me turns my back on Rutkowski :p

Harbourboy
Mon, 3rd Oct '05, 7:07am
Oh, so you actually did manage to set up the user? I'll start the countdown now as to when Tal deletes that account . . . . . . .

Lynadin
Mon, 3rd Oct '05, 8:00am
Haha LOL Rutkowski :shake: You must be really bored :rolleyes:

olimikrig
Mon, 3rd Oct '05, 8:03am
meh, Rutowski

Mon, 3rd Oct '05, 11:11am
Rutkowski!!! How... how could you? :(

Taluntain
Mon, 3rd Oct '05, 1:40pm
I've noticed that account's registration info bounce so I actually fixed the address and sent it there, thinking it was a legitimate user. Imagine my surprise coming here and seeing some moron not only register another account (which is against the rules), but also waste my time sending him out the registration details for his little joke.

I've now deleted the duplicate account, and rewarded Rutkowski accordingly. The count's gone down by two members for some reason, but it's probably just because the count hasn't been updated in ages since I haven't had to delete any accounts in a long time.

I can't recall ever having seen one

Mon, 3rd Oct '05, 3:12pm
Right Tal, sorry, I know it was against the rules, but it was so tempting.

But yeah, I probably deserve this, and I'll keep my posts to myself for a week until it's gone, like it's reccomended. If anyone wants to reach me, use the PM system.

kuemper
Mon, 3rd Oct '05, 4:06pm
Well, that solves my first question! Rutkowski shame on you. :nono:

So, does that mean we aren't at 9K and Seeker7 is actually Rut (IotW)?

olimikrig
Mon, 3rd Oct '05, 4:31pm
Actually, we're 9001 now :banana:

Bion
Mon, 3rd Oct '05, 11:29pm
Woo Hoo! :beer: :roll:

Dammit HB, where's the banana!?

Rutkowski, :shake:

Harbourboy
Mon, 3rd Oct '05, 11:55pm
Bion, when did I become the banana supplier?

Anyone wanna bet when we're in for 10K?

I say February 5th :D

Eldular
Tue, 4th Oct '05, 12:00pm
I'll bet it will be some where around may 17.

*Puts $500 green ones on the table*

I would say January 12. But i never bet for money :rolleyes:

Ofelix

I'd say mid april. But no money because I have none anyway.

HB, don't you know you're not really enthusiastic about something unless you front the banana? C'mon, be a team player here. :banana:

Anyone wanna bet when we're in for 10K? I already said by June. Exact date would probably be somewhere in the middle of May.

@Bion:
:banana: :p

Harbourboy
Tue, 4th Oct '05, 8:54pm
Yes, we have no bananas. I'll celebrate with a :borg: instead.

Bion
Wed, 5th Oct '05, 12:04am
:doh: :nono:

if everyone starts celebrating with borgs rather than bananas, who it will be chaos! :mommy:

what will come next? celebrating pointless stat threads with :alien: , or :square: , or :1eye: ?

lets all make sure to use the correct bananas once 10,000 rolls around, m'kay?

Nakia
Wed, 5th Oct '05, 9:50am
:banana: just for Bion

10,000 by April 15th.

February 19, 2006, is my bet for the 10K poster. (I shove $500 of Monopoly money on the table beside Darkstrider's greenbacks)

jaded empath
Wed, 5th Oct '05, 10:45pm
Oi - how long you been north of the border, yankee kuemper? :) Just cuz it's multi-colored (like just about EVERY other nation on the planet; the US is just so boring and :square: ) is no reason to denigrate the currency. ;)

I, myself, would advised people to 'beware the ides of march' - I gotta hunch the holiday season will see a lot of members appear, and just around time for spring break should push us over 10k.

Nakia
Thu, 6th Oct '05, 3:29pm
kuemper's Monopoly money is Canadian. I, myself, will ante $500 Confederate dollars.
