You're probably going to get alot of Spamlike posts around 2 million anyway- with people trying to be the "lucky poster".

The fuck we will.

Every mod, supermod, and admin has one of those. I'll be fucked if some spamwhore gets the two millionth post.

The wonders of a base 10 numerical system. If it was base 12 we would be having all this exitement over post 2,985,984. So funny that such an arbitrary number as 2,000,000 would be held in high regard, but the human psyche seems to preffer clear, if arbitrary, checkpoints.

Well, it has six zeros, of course it's cool

Oh, sure. *sharpens axe* Naturally.

Shall I? /me sharpens Capsaicin's axe with his diamond whetstones until it's mirror polished and absolutely razor sharp*

Nono, as luck will have it, the 2,000,000th post will be made by some clueless newbie inadvertently exercising necromancy on a thread we've all forgotten about because it's almost four years old. Then posts 2,000,001 through 2,000,003 will be made by vultures going "ZOMG, U NECROED N00B!!11" Post 2,000,004 will be made by someone making a legitimate point, and post 2,000,005 will be made by an overworked moderator locking the thread in disgust.

The both of you are just reinforcing his goddamn point.

I think Capsaicin was actually issuing a ligitement warning.

No, said mod will be deleting 2,000,001-3, while Kanos rains hell upon the spamfuckers.

Remember, this forum is run and policed by a cadre of evil men and women. We are the people that make the things that go bump in the night shit their breeches.

Whoa, Capsaicin's an admin. Okay, I totally didn't know that. (I thought I knew who all the admins were)

200 to go.

Goddamn it, wasted the whole day just staring at the numbers just to make the millionth post....

If i where an admin or someone with infulence I'd recommend a temporary shutdown of the testing forum untill after the 2 mill mark is passed.

Meh; while exciting and all, I'll let fate decide and go hit the rack.

DesertFly · Post by **DesertFly** » 2006-06-28 12:26am

As "exciting" as this all is, I really don't care all that much. If there's some sort of party or something cool due to the 2 millionth post, then woo.

Admiral Johnason · Post by **Admiral Johnason** » 2006-06-28 12:31am

Less than 100 to go.

Free porn for all?

Stark · Post by **Stark** » 2006-06-28 01:03am

Wow, the post rate has really slackened: 20 posts in almost 15 minutes!

Soontir C'boath · Post by **Soontir C'boath** » 2006-06-28 01:06am

So, anyone other than those in the American time zones that are awake can take the spot.

Bloody non-American continental bastards.

Everyone's sitting around while honest chums like us work the count towards the two million mark, then jump in at the last second and steal all the glory. Devious fuckers and their glory-stealing schemes.

I'm an american and I'm up

Stark · Post by **Stark** » 2006-06-28 01:44am

So what's the word on the party or porn? There's got to be some kind of celebration.

Darth Garden Gnome · Post by **Darth Garden Gnome** » 2006-06-28 01:48am

The deed is done. I think Pu-239 is our winner for this million.

Stark · Post by **Stark** » 2006-06-28 01:49am

Could you have spammed any more in hope of getting the 2M post? Not that anyone will care in five minutes, of course.

EDIT - isn't it wierd that the posts slowed down, like the board was holding it's breath, then there's a flurrly of posts after 2M? Kids.

The Grim Squeaker · Post by **The Grim Squeaker** » 2006-06-28 01:50am

Heh, I saw the index with 2,000,000 straight on it, pity that I'm not on my home computer otherwise I could have taken a screen shot.
My post also might have been no 2m, if I hadn't added that damn paragraph about Stark needing to provide proof about the age of the Furies.
Maybe we could have another quick testing post count wipe for one last stretch?

Duckie · Post by **Duckie** » 2006-06-28 01:51am

Wow, you blink (or in this case read about Israel entering the Gaza Strip) and you miss it. The count went from 1,999,993 to 2,000,005 in the time I was away.

So, was it a worthy post that got the 2,000,000th? Or at least a not spammy one?
