9,604

[Lathum]

I now have 9,604 posts.

I had 10K at one point but people are being funny.

I need more hobbies

[larrymcg421]

Yes you do.

And I'm only replying to increase my post count.

[heybrad]

8 years as a member and I'm barely over 1500.

[Lathum]

hey brad !

[Kodos]

It looks to me like you only have 9,991 posts. Did someone delete a thread? WERE POSTS LOST?!?!

[Lathum]

it would appear so

[Antmeister]

One day I will be halfway there.

[Lathum]

Imagine if werewolf posts counted. I would be challanging Jeeber

[saldana]

i may go delete a werewolf game just to take 200 more away from you

[MikeVic]

10,000 post thread fail. ;)

[BrianD]

Seems like these types of threads always result in another thread getting deleted. Kinda funny...unless I lost posts in the deletion.

[Lathum]

so true

[Lathum]

ok, now people are just being silly

[molson]

I bet we could get him down to 5,000

[Raiders Army]

post check

[DaddyTorgo]

if I lose posts I will KEEL SOMEONE!

[DaddyTorgo]

bitches!

[Alan T]

i wonder how many I lost

[DaddyTorgo]

*whoring my way to 8400*

[Alan T]

Wow I lost over 1000 some how lol...

[DaddyTorgo]

alex cora is a waste of space on my baseball team - he needs to go away

[DaddyTorgo]

uhh yeah - that's unacceptable. Those deleted threads need to be restored by mods and somebody needs to fess up.

[DaddyTorgo]

can we get the J.A.G. on this?

[Lathum]

people wanna be funny.

I have started some threads with over 1500 replies. Keep fucking with me, I'll start droping some bombs!!

[DaddyTorgo]

i wonder if mods could remove the "delete thread" function from users?

[DaddyTorgo]

hahaa - the yankees suck

[SnDvls]

post check

[Lathum]

the first one was funny, the second deletion completely unoriginal

[DaddyTorgo]

SAFE AT FIRST!! RUN SCORES!!!

RED SOX 2!!! TOILET-DWELLERS 0!!!!

[MikeVic]

post check.

[DaddyTorgo]

Lester's got his good stuff today - mowing down the skanks

please go to the MLB thread.

( even though it may not exist much longer)

[Passacaglia]

I bet we could get him down to 5,000

Why stop there? Let's delete everything on the board, and take him all the way down! I think wade is a mod, and he's in the thread -- wade, can you please delete the entire forum? k thx

[DaddyTorgo]

( even though it may not exist much longer)


no. I'm post-whoring in this thread to replace my lost posts

[molson]

I'm for this as long as the Maximum Football thread remains.

[Raiders Army]

I was thinking about deleting the Ping: Drunk Guy thread.

[Lathum]

that would be great

[digamma]

You do realize that the original post doesn't increase in post number right? It is the subsequent posts that are the higher post numbers?

Lathum if you only spent less time here and more time serving Osi Umenyiora, his injury would never happened.

huh?

[DaddyTorgo]

i'm confused

[molson]

The first post in the thread is not Lathum's 9,971st post. He's posted other times since then. Editing doesn't count as a new post.

[Fidatelo]

I think you guys need to understand that only posts made after the first post or before the last post count towards your post count.

[Lathum]

I think you guys need to understand that only posts made after the first post or before the last post count towards your post count.

I have no idea what you are trying to say here.

Obviously everytime you edit a post it doesn't count as an additional post.

[molson]

This is your 9,972nd post.

[Lathum]

This is your 9,972nd post.

and what is the point?

not trying to be obtuse, I just don't get the argument...

[molson]

and what is the point?

not trying to be obtuse, I just don't get the argument...

This is your 9,974th post.

The first post in your thread, the one you keep editing, is not. It's earlier - maybe your 9,968th post, or whatever it was when the other thread was deleted. The number of that first post won't ever change (unless more threads are deleted)

If I post, that's post 1.

If I post again, that's post 2. The number next to my first post may say "2", because that's my current post count, but it was still my first post.

If you post 10,000 more times, the first post of this thread won't be your 19,974th post. It will still be your 9,968th post.

This is my 4,918th post, even though it will say 4,919 under my name when I make another post

[molson]

See?

[Fidatelo]

I have no idea what you are trying to say here.

Obviously everytime you edit a post it doesn't count as an additional post.

I think it depends which post you edit. I need to go re-read the rules.

[Captain2711]

Yes you do need another hobby, LOSER!!! Beating off is a hobby. Plus you can use the computer at the same time. Win WIn.

[Lathum]

now I see what you mean

[molson]

The best thing to do is run off 25 more posts, then start a new thread announcing your 10,000th post, wait for someone to delete one of your old threads, then repeat. You know, to see who blinks first.

[Passacaglia]

This thread needs to be merged with the "If you could go back in time" thread.

[stevew]

pople losts posts

[molson]

I might get my 5,000th post in this thread.

[B & B]

I vote to disable any counting of the posts.

[molson]

I vote to disable any counting of the posts.

You're a monster.

[Fidatelo]

I think we should move to a system that only counts *some* posts. There will be very detailed logic used to determine if a post counts or not, but it will be never be disclosed to the board. Welcome to Hollywood.

[saldana]

congratulations on 3000 fidatelo

[Captain2711]

Closing in on post 217. The only question is should I start a thread about it in an effort to get to 220?

Sorry I have a life that doesn't involve fictional creatures in a thread on a message board

[Raiders Army]

nyah nyah I got to 10,000 before you did. I'm sooooooo cool!!!!!!!!!

[MJ4H]

I demand a recount

[Crim]

Sorry I have a life that doesn't involve fictional creatures in a thread on a message board

TAKE THAT BACK YOU BASTARD!!!!!!111

[Crim]

oops forgot the smilie: :)


I dola'd instead of editing so I could inflate my post count.

[saldana]

Sorry I have a life that involves repetively playing the same scenario on the Sims over and over and over and over again

fixed that for ya

[Captain2711]

fixed that for ya

And that bitch always starves to death in her own feces. Life can be pretty sweet sometimes.

[JeeberD]

If I lost posts in this little exercise I'm going to have to cut a bitch...

[DaddyTorgo]

Sweet, 387.

[MikeVic]

Thread title needs updating.

[Lathum]

gah!

[KWhit]

Posting this thread is just asking for people to delete threads you've posted in, Lathum. That's like message board 101.

[KWhit]

Dola -

+1

[Lorena]

first post and title needs post count update ;)

[Lorena]

dola,

5,421 here

[Lathum]

I'm on it!

[Lorena]

that's what she said!

[Izulde]

How many do I have again?

[Izulde]

Well, I'm over 6K at least.

[DanGarion]

Quick everyone start deleting topics that Lathum posted in!

[TCY Junkie]

The point of this this post is so sharp that it ripped her crotchless britches.

[Lathum]

Thats it!

I said I would start dropping bombs.

this is just the begining!!

muhahahahahahahahahahah

[RomaGoth]

The point of this this post is so sharp that it ripped her crotchless britches.

what

[molson]

Shit, I just lost about 100 posts.

There's some serious deletage going on.

[SFL Cat]

I refuse to post in this thread because it will be deleted and I'll lose posts...wait...DOH!

[MIJB#19]

Shit, I just lost about 100 posts.

There's some serious deletage going on.
On the bright side: you have your own long dynasty thread, where you saved enough posts to stick around at the top when everybody is deleted down to a 1,000 or less posts.

[Lorena]

Thats it!

I said I would start dropping bombs.

this is just the begining!!

muhahahahahahahahahahah

ahahahahahahahaha.... wait

dola,

5,421 here

hey, i lost posts!!!

[EagleFan]

That's why you never announce Lathum, nothing good can come of it.

At this pace you'll be in the negatives by the end of September. ;)

[EagleFan]

Damn, I was about to hit 6000 when I left India, now I have a ways to go again.

[molson]

On the bright side: you have your own long dynasty thread, where you saved enough posts to stick around at the top when everybody is deleted down to a 1,000 or less posts.

Good point.

I'm guessing what was deleted was stuff from last year's NFL season and Playoffs (I can't imagine what else I posted that much in).

And that kind of sucks.

[Subby]

Just goes to show what a waste of time it is to spend any energy on an internet message board.

[korme]

huh?

I was saying if you blew Osi more, this would never be an issue. Don't you read between the lines?

[MikeVic]

don't delete threads!!

[MikeVic]

I know I was over 10,300. Wtf.

[DanGarion]

Wow people, I was just kidding...

[DaddyTorgo]

dude this is fucked up

[DaddyTorgo]

I just lost like 85 posts - whoever thinks they're being funny - go fuck yourself

[Raiders Army]

Wow, I'm back to below 10,000.

[General Mike]

I lost posts?

Doesn't look like it,

[JeeberD]

Isn't this the sort of shit that got jb's edit button taken away? Knock it off...

[DaddyTorgo]

seriously - where the fuck are the mods? can't they undelete the threads and tell who's thread they all are and thus who's deleting them and take action??

[JeeberD]

I'm on the case. But no, I can't see all the threads that have been deleted.

[Kodos]

I can kinda see where you guys are coming from, but on the other side of things: Why would anyone actually care?

[TCY Junkie]

Am I the only poster that hasn't had any shrinkage.

[DaddyTorgo]

idk - it's the principle of the thing - plus what if there's info in those threads that somebody might want?

[DaddyTorgo]

hey - I just got like 80 posts back

[Alan T]

This is what happens when post counts matter more than the content of the posts! :)

[JeeberD]

I can kinda see where you guys are coming from, but on the other side of things: Why would anyone actually care?

I care because I hate losing history for the sake of people being idiots. There's nothing more frustrating that searching for a post that you KNOW is out there somewhere, but it's been deleted at some point for no real reason.

[JeeberD]

Dola-

And before people get up in arms saying that I'm doing this because I care about my own post count so much...I think I had maybe ten or fifteen posts in the three big threads Lathum deleted. So it isn't about me...

[DaddyTorgo]

I care because I hate losing history for the sake of people being idiots. There's nothing more frustrating that searching for a post that you KNOW is out there somewhere, but it's been deleted at some point for no real reason.

yeah. What he said

[Lathum]

OK, I figured the threads I deleted would be bought back...

The first time some knocked me down it was funny, the second time unoriginal and the third I felt compelled to act.

Being a WW player I dont really care about post counts ( I would be about 5K higher) but I founf the third knock down just unfunny, especialy since no one stepped up about any of them.

And before anyone gives me the "what do you expect" crap there have been many threads similar to this that died a quiet death.

Sorry for the chaos.

[Raiders Army]

Just FWIW, maybe there were other ways in which to act rather than throw more sticks on the fire.

[Lathum]

Just FWIW, maybe there were other ways in which to act rather than throw more sticks on the fire.

fight fire with fire buddy.

And at least I had the stones to fess up

[Kodos]

Hey Look! Raiders Army is about to hit 10,000!

[Lathum]

Hey Look! Raiders Army is about to hit 10,000!

Lets get him!!!!!!

[Raiders Army]

And at least I had the stones to fess up

Tru dat

[molson]

Why do we even have the power to delete threads? That should be a mod-only thing, and threads should only be deleted for technical reasons (double posts, etc).

[saldana]

hey admins....why arent all the other threads that were deleted by the people that decided to start dicking with lathum restored??!

[molson]

hey admins....why arent all the other threads that were deleted by the people that decided to start dicking with lathum restored??!

Probably because deleting = deleting.

[Lathum]

Probably because deleting = deleting.

what do you mean?

[molson]

what do you mean?

I don't know how the board works. I just figured that if I deleted something, it would be, gone. Forever. Or maybe there's a "recycle bin" that keeps things for some period of time.

[Lathum]

I don't know how the board works. I just figured that if I deleted something, it would be, gone. Forever. Or maybe there's a "recycle bin" that keeps things for some period of time.

An Admin can un delete a thread. I deleted the 2008 MLB thread causing over 1800 posts to be lost, and an admin brought it back.

Saldana's point is how come the htreads that were deleted causing me to lose posts weren't also brought back.

It is somewhat hypocritical.

[RedKingGold]

If we could just ban everyone who posted in this thread, then FOFC would be a better place.

[RedKingGold]

That would mean myself, now, of course.

Yup, that works.

[Lathum]

Doh!

I think it's because Jeebs knew to look for your threads. Without any clues as to who deleted their threads, we'd need the FOFC CSI team.

So this whole retarded phenomenon is your fault?

Well done.

[Lathum]

So this whole retarded phenomenon is your fault?

Well done.

This isn't my fault for one second so don't even go there.

I fully expected someone to delete a thread when I made my original post, it's almost tradition.

But the second time was un original and the third was just total asshattery.

I was prevoked to action and I took it, and I would do it again if faced with the same choice.

[Lathum]

dola- I announced the thread I was going to delet for fucks sake, I knew it would be bought back.

You wanna blame someone, blame the spineless weasels who deleted threads trying to be funny then refused to step up like the little bitches they are.

I like you Lathum, but these two posts could be the basis for a case study on the dumbest shit you'll ever find on the internet.

[DanGarion]

I'm confused. Did Lathum delete his own posts and then bitch about it?

[Alan T]

I'm confused. Did Lathum delete his own posts and then bitch about it?


Nah, this is what happened:

1) Lathum announced his 10,000th post
2) Someone thought it was funny to delete a thread he had posted in to knock him back under 10,000.
3) Lathum laughed and played along
4) Someone else thought it was just as original to do it again
5) The whole thing blew out of proportion..
6) By the third time this happened and Lathum was down by about 50-60 posts he deleted his own thread that he had threatened to do when playing along earlier.
7) People give Lathum crap for doing what others had done without anyone getting all over their case.
8) Confusion ensues..

[DaddyTorgo]

good recap alan

Seriously? Where the fuck have I been? Can we please lose all "traditions" that have anything to do with post counts?

[Kodos]

This has to be one of the most pathetic threads in FOFC history.

[RendeR]

Coming from you alien boy, that truly means something ;)

[TCY Junkie]

Keeping up with the number of posts is not useful at all. I've seen whores go back to back when one would have been enough to do the job.

[EagleFan]

Back to back whores? Sounds like a fun night in Vegas... ;)

[Radii]

This has to be one of the most pathetic threads in FOFC history.

this screams for a poll :D

[JeeberD]

I think it's because Jeebs knew to look for your threads. Without any clues as to who deleted their threads, we'd need the FOFC CSI team.


Pretty much. I searched the threads-started history of just about everyone who posted on the first page of this thread, but I couldn't find the others that were deleted...

[Lathum]

I like you Lathum, but these two posts could be the basis for a case study on the dumbest shit you'll ever find on the internet.

I meant the first one to be a joke.

Trust me, my intention wasn't for all this nonsense so don't blame me.

I don't much care about post count, I think they do serve a purpose for SD when evaluating members actions and I would be lying if I said a persons post count doesn't effect the way I look at them and some of the things they say.

I think Alan put it perfectly but like I have said many time, funny the first time, not so much the next 2.

[Lathum]

In all seriousness, If people are pissed at me about this I am truly sorry.

[Mustang]

This thread should be known as...



OMG, Someone GAINED posts?!?!?!


:)
