Title: Only another 200 to go...
Post by: Karlos on January 16, 2007, 01:29:13 PM
...before I hit the big 10K :-)


Note: This was the forum's worst post ever.

Um, that'd be 199 to go now :-P

Was it MIPS that got that far before leaving?

Mips was on 2999 or 3999, then switched names. If I recall correctly, he later logged back in as mips_proc and posted, causing forum reality to break down, prompting the universe's own self-realisation and subsequent fall into atrophy.

Or not. :-)

I wonder if there are any easter egg rankings?

"Forum whore"...

Let's face it, KennyR and Red would have long since been there  by now, had Kenny not gone and Red not taken his sabbatical.

I dare say that I'd be up there too, were it not for the work blocking access to a.org a couple of years ago.

I used to spend a good few hours each day on here.

What a saddo, eh?

I remember you having over 1500 posts when I joined (had been lurking for ages previously). You, Jim and Whabang seemed surgically wired into the place :-D

Yeah, I used to have the site open all day at work and could read and post everytime I had a minute, which seemed to be most of the day. :-D

I'd imagine I probably will. Especially since I've been dabbling about with OS4 again, over the last couple of days.
(Although, admittedly, I'm typing this on the iBook.)

I'll probably be here. I'm still waiting for some affordable hardware...

This is it, though. Look at the bitterness of some of the fighting during the "hue wars"...

You just couldn't achieve that level of senseless antipathy amongst people that didn't actually care :lol:

Aren't you an OS4 for classic beta tester?
Title: Re: Only another 200 to go...
Post by: Karlos on January 22, 2007, 07:03:08 PM
@Wilse

In theory, yes. In practice, I haven't had time to even switch the thing on in months. Last time, the flashrom went flaky (an annoying habit my PPC card seems to have) and I haven't touched it since.
Title: Re: Only another 200 to go...

I see.
Well, I found the latest release to be quite an improvement on Update4.

Hopefully a classic version will be released soon.
