DannyStewart.com reaches 20,000 posts!
 
After checking the count on the main page, I've just discovered that the DannyStewart.com Forums are nearing 20,000 posts! We're currently at 19,857, and this will be the 19,858th. We should throw a little celebration once we hit 20,000. :)

EDIT: However, I would like to ask that there be no competition as to who actually gets the 20,000th post. I'm being serious on this. I would greatly appreciate it if everyone just continues to post normally... we don't even need to know who did it when it happens. Thank you.

*insert synth trumpets here*

Ronnie Rowlands November 28, 2006 3:19 AM

What will we have in the celebration? Cake?

Recurring Villain November 28, 2006 3:48 AM

Whatever the internet has to offer.

Ronnie Rowlands November 28, 2006 4:52 AM

Double posts for all:P

Recurring Villain November 28, 2006 5:19 AM

Does that mean Ben gets to do quadruple posts?

'Cause he double-posts anyway :P

Ben Dawson November 28, 2006 5:24 AM

it's not often I do that, I just double-click on the post reply button when it doesn't load, but it posts it twice...(when I waited for the 30 second count down to finish, now I realise that when that comes up then it's already posted).

The thirty second delay only comes up if you've just posted, so that means your post went through.

Ronnie Rowlands November 28, 2006 11:22 AM

And you usually write somthing completley different in the next post, so you can't say you pressed the send button twice. Stop making excuses.

Danny Stewart November 28, 2006 11:24 AM

Alright, alright, let's not get hostile please.

Sam Davies November 28, 2006 11:27 AM

More to the point what should we do to celebrate.

Danny Stewart November 28, 2006 11:34 AM

I'm not sure. Anyone have any ideas? Arrange a party chat in the chatroom?

Ben Dawson November 28, 2006 2:45 PM

kazoos...air horns.

Jez November 28, 2006 2:53 PM

Damn, you guys know how to live. :P

Danny Stewart November 28, 2006 2:58 PM

Ben, please don't make this into a fight.

Recurring Villain November 28, 2006 10:41 PM

I suggest sitting in chairs in a tall building, looking down at the insignificant specks living out their lives below and laughing maliciously.

Then drop pianos on them.

Every time you kill someone you have to drink a shot. First person drunk wins.

Sam Davies November 29, 2006 5:15 AM

Halleghuia (I think thats how you spell it) what a great idea i'll join you RV.

Ben Dawson November 29, 2006 6:51 AM

slurred speaking "I really loooove you guuuuys you knoooow, errrr, where am I, byaaaarfgh".

Ronnie Rowlands November 29, 2006 7:21 AM

What the hell?

Recurring Villain November 29, 2006 7:23 AM

He's either pretending to be drunk or really trying to piss Danny off.

Ben Dawson November 29, 2006 7:27 AM

I'm drunk, not try to piss of Danny.

EDIT: We've made it, 20,000 posts

Ronnie Rowlands November 29, 2006 7:34 AM

Trying or not, Danny is going to be pissed off.

Haha! I am so putting that in my signature. Gold.

Ronnie Rowlands November 29, 2006 7:48 AM

Wow what an honour:D

Recurring Villain November 29, 2006 7:51 AM

You'll go down in history as "the guy who got something quoted in RV's sig."

Ronnie Rowlands November 29, 2006 7:54 AM

What so funny about that though?

Recurring Villain November 29, 2006 7:56 AM

It's the implications.

The reason it's a good quote is because when it's out of context it sort of implies Danny is a raging anger machine.

Danny Stewart November 29, 2006 12:08 PM

It's "Hallelujah," Sam. And we are now at 20,047 posts! Yay us! :D

Why am I going to be pissed off now?

Ross Hendrie November 29, 2006 12:58 PM

Does anyone know who got the 20,000th then?

Yes -- the above giant warning box from the first post does. :P

Jez November 29, 2006 2:39 PM

Actually, the post count is over 28400 (this particular post is the 28409th). It's just that the actual post count doesn't include the deleted posts. The database ignores the deleted posts so that you don't get two posts of the same number. It's complicated to explain, easy to understand. ;)

If you understood this, get yourself a cookie:
Basically, if the actual post count (ie, the number of posts in the database) is 15 and post number 14 is deleted, the next post will still be post number 16 according to the database. If that didn't happen, you'd end up with two 15th posts because the database won't think to move the original 15th post down so that it's 14th. Why? Because it would slow the forums down completely. The number of posts will still be 15 but the database will read the count as being 16. :)

I'm good at noticing that sort of thing. ;)

Sorry to kill all your vibes.....not. :D

Danny Stewart November 29, 2006 3:13 PM

I actually was aware of that... but the actual post count isn't the only one that doesn't count deleted posts -- neither do I!

Jez November 29, 2006 3:38 PM

Lol. I like to educate the uninformed. ;) :D

Besides, I'm like a database - I like things to be just right. :)

Danny Stewart November 29, 2006 7:28 PM

We'll throw another party when we reach 30,000-including-deleted posts. :P

Jez November 30, 2006 2:57 PM

Lol, like the last one? That was a killer party....quite literally.....of boredom due to a lack of events. :P

Danny Stewart November 30, 2006 4:14 PM

I went into the chat room for about two and a half minutes and talked to myself. It was quite a party. :P
