I don't care whether the innuendo was intentional or not, that is quoted...and busy spawning unpleasant mental images.

In the words of Number One of the Springfield Chapter of the Stonecutters:

"In honor of this most auspicious occasion, let's get drunk and play ping-pong!"

Or something like that.

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

Just to inform you that the Universe will end before you get that kind of previledges or any type of power here, no matter how many times you hit any arbitrary posting mark.

I think a member should be permabanned completely and entirely at random upon discovery of the two millionth post.

Perhaps the person who makes the post....

How exciting! It'd be like playing Russian Roulette when you post near the 2,000,000 mark. Still, I think it should be random so as better to demonstrate arbitrary authority. That'd be even more exciting: Who knows who it'd be?

Although I feel compelled to make a joke involving an easily-targeted member and a random citing of an old western movie, as is becoming oddly standard for me:

I think we all know who's going to be banned if it's the 2,000,000th poster exactly. It'll go down like this: We'll be at 1,999,999. Imagine the scene from Good, The Bad, and The Ugly with SDNners all standing around, posts in hand, in some gigantic Mexican Standoff. Then someone who is slightly clueless and makes a lot of posts will be blown away when they stumble in and make the 2,000,000th post by accident during the standoff.

Bye DEATH

It would be amusing if the person making the post were an Admin, however.

We could always arbitrarily open spamworld for three hours again. That seems fun, and it isn't destructive in the ways that many of the proposed ideas are. And knowing my luck, I'd be the one banned arbitrarily.

A quick number crunch shows we have approximately 21.1940459 days until we hit the big number. So let's start partying now, and not stop until 21.1940459 afterwards!

Not the person. It needs to be a completely arbitrary abuse of admin power.

Quite frankly I don't want to be permabanned because anything really, but least of all because of basically nothing (bad luck on some damm poll).

Banning some ramdom person that's been inactive for long and/or who behavior has borderline trollish in anthoer matter (as the chance that they will even noticed that they've been banned is slim and since they're inactive nothing is lost)

banning just some ramdom member will scare off any new members regard of their potential (sure it will scare of any trolls, but also people who might contribute something other then spam to the board).

The main reason I've liked this board is that there's rules that can be followed, without having to brownnose the admins.

yes I'm trying cover my own ass, but quite frankly I consider the idea as Gil proposed it just brain dead and something that could destroy this board.

Hey, I'm totally down for that. I get a kick out of shit like this, so I'd totally dig being SD.net's sacrificial lamb!

if it was a joke it was bad one, but unless I misread him, he's proposing banning some ramdom member once we discover that we have 2 million posts on the board, if that's not the case then I apologize

You really have no sense of humor do you?

Reminds me of The Secret Ban List from a couple April Fool's ago...

I wish I'd been around back then; that sounds like it was a blast.

How about changing the signature and avatar of every user whose join number is prime, or a divisor of 2,000,000, into some joke announcing that we've reached 2,000,000?

That would mostly effect our older users though with low join numbers.

Then let them change it back as soon as they realise its been changed.

What I would like to see is that the admin pick one of the more memorable trolls, and unban him giving him a clean slate. Then we take bets on how long it will take from when the troll finds out to when the troll gets banned again. Just so we can have fun with him for a bit.

That might make for a good April fools day joke but not a 2Mth post party.

You could always make a permanent note of who made the 2 millionth post in the Annoucements thread...

...makes sense to me.

We could promote me to Admin to celebrate. I'd be in favor of that.

I don't see what that does for anybody else, though. I think what we should do is promote you to admin on the condition that you throw Zor down a flight of stairs.
