Now that every single post ever made since this site's inception is now back in the index, and we will never again have to backup and delete or archive anything, many people are topping very old threads. I expect the novelty to wear off pretty soon, but I just thought I should give you fair warning.

To lessen the risk of looking like Dead Inside, I suggest glancing at the dates of the original messages before replying to them as if breaking stories. Not that there is anything wrong with replying to old threads. Not at all. Just to avoid you the embarrasment of assuming them to be current events.

This has been your public service announcement for the day.

I love you Dead Inside.

Heh, the banner is pretty cool.

But in any case, no need to lash out Skeet, I just thought it was a point of interest.

yes, tis true, we concocted the whole thing to steal THT members. Paint configured his whammy bar to knock out the SPF at the same time so it was a double bonus for us, if you only knew how much we made in banner impressions that day...

Considering we have probably twice as many regulars and the original topic and subsequent scuffles at THT were only there for a little while....you do the math.

Another fun stat that BP and flocat just pointed me to:

If you check your profile (or that of another person), it tells you on average how many posts you made per day.

Is this obscene or what?

(18.93 posts per day)

Ahh yes. One of those new vBulletin features that will make you fell like a serious loser.

Just what I needed.

(we have it at the "new" SPF also, and THAT is depressing)

yeah, that was sad. people had 50+ posts per day there. i don't think i speak 50 sentences a day, let alone type them out for strangers.

that's a complete lie, of course.

Some of these threads are old enough to be sexually interesting to Goatboy.
