2 million posts!
Hey, I just noticed that we're rapidly approaching the 2 megapost mark. Should we do anything to mark this occasion?
Mind you, if you count deleted posts, then post #2000000 has already been made, and NecronLord made it here. But if we don't count deleted posts, then we still have a few weeks to go.

The person who makes the 2,000,000th post gets to title, avatar, and sig any ten members of his or her choosing. Those ten members have to keep those titles, avatars and sigs for 6 months.
If the person in question can already title and sig at will (say, if it's DW or a supermod), then he or she may delegate the priviledge to any peron of his or her choosing.

Was there a special event for post #1,000,000? If so, what was it?

It does seem Fair, maybe even for every 500k posts (Or 1e6 at a minimum) although maybe the members should have to keep it for only 4 months? Not all of us are multi-yearers after all .Noble Ire wrote:Heh.

Still it seems fair to grant a prize for every half or quarter million posts, it's not exactly that common after all.

and every time the next 250,000th post is made.[00:20] ddofer: You though I meant for every 250,000 posts per user?
[00:20] ddofer: HAhahaha I meant the person to make the 2.5e6 post
Not every 250k posts per person, but the person to post which is also that post number in the forum.

I am against Alferd's suggestion, I'd love it if I won it but then you'll get people waiting and waiting and then finally the flood of spam would come in.
I think the 2 millionth post should get a quote of their choice on the front page where it says "Promoting Sexual Deviancy since 2002" for a week. Imagine everyone logging in would first have to read "Darth Fanboy accepts Cash Only" or something funny like that.

We could have the Senate validate the result, so if someone spammed his way to the two millionth post, he's disqualified.Darth Fanboy wrote:I am against Alferd's suggestion, I'd love it if I won it but then you'll get people waiting and waiting and then finally the flood of spam would come in.

Durandal, check out http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?t=92100 and make sure you get to the end (or at least read pages 1 and 7).

No, I have no idea what you're talking about. I'll endeavor to enlighten myself.
EDIT: And now everything falls into place. I retract the part of my previous statement which has nothing to do with me getting laid.

We should make preparations to celebrate a big Summer Banathon 2006 to coincide with the highschool year ending along with other shools in full-force, and the inevitable hordes of squirrely kids with too much freetime for their two-bit opinions.
Seriously, we've been without any Parting Shot threads, noteworthy bans, or even much Hall of Shame ruckus for a whole month.
That just won't do!

Right, that's got you and your supporters on the "dissidents list." The idea of actually rewarding a person for happening to post at just the right time is sheer madness--what if somebody like Zor made #2 million?
