Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Rather than post a bunch of rubbish googled images, I thought I'd instead just say thanks to everybody for letting me have my say a whole bunch of times, and for being lovely, interesting people. Thanks for taking the time to listen. And, Hopefully I've been just the right amount of spammy to avoid being irritating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I'm not sure, but I think that missing out on the mango meme is a stronger meme than the mangos. So you're fine. I just noticed that at this moment we are only two registered members away from having over nine thousand members. My calculations show that if all of these people post six thousand times, it will initiate a chain reaction that will illuminate the entire internet with the glare of a thousand suns, and turn every single troll to stone for good. This may not be a realistic scenario for the near future, but it implies that Nikki has satisfied the categorical imperative. Good going.

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Are 58% of member numbers really taken by spambots or otherwise non-members? (Also, the fact that 21745 - 9000 = 12745 caused me a certain amount of confusion when calculating percents.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Man, this takes me back to the battle to get hold of account #4000. I don't recall why 4000 was such a good number; maybe just because it was round and even. I don't remember anything of the sort happening for #4444 and so on, which are by far better numbers.

Yes, because having more than five members no longer makes the UBB perform sacrifical rites on random passers-by. Honestly, I'm still unclear on how this is a good thing.

So I wouldn't expect it again, at least not soon. I dunno, I'd have to go to the PPP to check, but I do recall Jeff (or, more likely Mariann) saying that they were going to remove spambots and members who had registered but not posted (thereby dealing with the resident Wolf problem too), in order to try and stop the UBB from imploding. Of course, it was right around the shift, so I could be confusing one event into two. Edit: I AM WRONG. Front page of the PPP archive. Duh. In my defence, 2008 was an age ago. Apologies!

I then proceed to miss eight pages of discussion because everything is yellow. I may be completely forgetting the virtue of the old UBB (that's odd enough just to say) but I don't recall that it even marked read and unread topics. I remember having to figure out when topics were updated by the time stamp. We also had to find where we had left off in a thread by ourselves. Unless I'm just assuming the old UBB was worse than it was. I definitely don't mind the looks of the new boards, though. In that regard they're the same to me. And if you do mind, there's always a variety of skins to pick from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
