I knew Stickler padded. I could tell. He walks funny.
Well, we could always add ever more ridiculous numbers for you guys to try to attain...
What? No no. 1000. That's the top spot. All the cool kids have posted more than 1000 posts. No higher bar need be added. Nope. None higher.
Hey! Every post I make is a gem and worthy of study. Just you wait. In 100 years, dissertations will be written about my messageboard posts. People will get degrees in sticklerology.
The catch-phrase will be, "Find your Inner Stickler."
Or maybe not.
i hope there isn't an "inner Stickler"
That sounds uncomfortable.
I think that's why he pads.
Goddamn it I hate post padding parties you people! At least have a theme for the stupid thread. :mad:
Well, we did, but then it was taken out of its contex, and now it's just a party. Hang out and pad some posts. Can I get you a drink or something?
Crap, I killed a post padding thread.
That's just sad.
Sarah suggested the Dumbo tier would be 5000+
I'm just funnin' with you, NAF! Have at it! :)
NAF, Hoopy Frood is in the process of joining.
This is confusing. Do I read from the top down, or the bottom up? Why do I need to manually refresh this chat window.
It is old style chatQuote:

Why'd you stop talking about me?
It turns out I don't have an inner Stickler.
I'm nearly at 1000.
Woot.
I dislike post-padding threads in principle, but my threads always fail big time. Most are doomed from the start, but am I really the only person here who has anything to say on the comparisons between The Watchmen movie and comic?
Want to boost traffic? Post in my damn threads. :p
Never saw it never read it. Mostly I just wanna get to a thousand posts.
PM Fenris on it. He is big on Comics. This appears to be a low percentage comics board.Quote:

Yay! Postage! My threads suck-ceed!
I like comics too, but I'm not sure I'd be reading the same ones as you. We seem to have the same issue with TV shows to some degree. The Dexter thread is mostly me and CIAS talking to each other.
No time. Help me convince everyone we should move to a 30 hour day and I will watch dexter and talk about it with you.
I read The Walking Dead and that's about it for me and comics these days, unfortunately.
And I've got to wait for Dexter to come out on DVD. :(
As long as every post doesn't have to get its own thought.Quote:

It's fine for you. You've already got over 1000 posts.
I have beer and Pringles. Who wants to be my friend?
I'll be your friend! What kind of Pringles do you have, friend?
Salt & Vinegar. It's PMS week.
And the beer is MolsonXXX, only because I can't get Keith's this side of the tunnel.
But Taco Bell is open for another 25 minutes. It's not too late.
I have literally not had Taco Bell in years. Whoa.
You mean Toxic Hell?
Whenever I go I grab a bunch of the hottest hot sauce packets they have. I love hot sauce.
I have a fridge full of it.
This is what I meant when I said that if you offer perks for posts, you end up with me telling you that I have a drawer full of Taco Bell hot sauce packets.
Shouldn't that be "Find your inner Inner Stickler"?
"The Insticklinator."
We have winds gusting up to 50mph right now. This caused a large tree branch from the oak in my backyard to break and crash through three of the windows in my sun room, breaking the windows but (as far as I can tell in the dark) leaving the rest of the sun room stable. I've also just sliced a nice chunk of my knee while trying to (duh) push the largest part out of one of the windows. Ruined a new pair of jeans, dammit. Blood. Yuck.
Son of a bitch. I was hoping to go to bed soon, too. My guess is that the wind will knock the power out before this ends. Someone call me at 6PM to make sure I'm up for work, please?
Fuck it. I'm hobbling to the fridge for more beer. Look soon for pics.
So, out of curiosity, is post padding officially allowed?
PS: +1
Well, if you're going to make chat perks dependent on post counts, and chatting is what brings you to this community, then I don't see where it can be helped.
By the way, I don't approve of how you've treated Grimace in the past. I hope you've seen the error of your ways and have changed your behaviour.
Holy crap, 5er! Are you guys okay? Did any of the kittehs escape out into the wind and gloom? Is your knee alright? Did you get them boarded up somehow?
Damn, all I did last night was sleep.
For once, Hoser is not that thrilled with the prospect of going outside. Neither am I. I've just shut the large doors to the sun room for now because there's not much else I can do, but I can feel the wind breaking (get it? Breaking wind? Yeah, I've been drinking. Luckily it's not my grampa jeans that got cut.)
And will you call and make sure I'm up in time to go to work if my power goes out?
Of course.
Grimace deserved it.</pad>Quote:

Because we're, you know ... mello.
Plus, I chat without pants. So there.
Damn, that's gotta hurt. Having all that Taco Smells hot sauce in your drawers.
But the mild is nice, with butter and rice.
Oh wait... if you chat without pants then...
um...
Nevermind.
Ya know, that's gotta be the worst picture I have taken of myself in a long time.
My hairline looks like it's slipping away and I don't know why my face is all puffy like that.
I need a new avatar.
Nah, you just need elf ears and a full beard photopshopped in, plus maybe a hat of some kind.
I could do that but then I'd have to do it for everyone.
Because I wouldn't want to be 'elfish you know.
Man, you are so altruistic. Go ahead and put elf ears on me. But leave off the beard. I'm trying to live my life openly.
What's a zombie thread? I assumed it was a thread with a zombie theme, but I'm starting to think it's something else.
Also, -pad-.
'Adapt' contains the letters that spell 'pad'. Isn't that interesting?
... with an extra 'a' and an extra 't'. You could spell 'at' with those.
A zombie thread is a thread which has died, but someone has revived, usually for shits and giggles.Quote:

Yes. Zombie threads are presumed dead--they've been dormant a really long time. Bumped threads have just dipped in action for a couple of hours/days so they're not at the top of the heap anymore.Quote:

Generally, it's pretty obvious which is which. If a thread has been dormant a couple of days before you post, you're bumping. If a thread has been dormant a couple of months or years before you post, it's generally considered a zombie.Quote:
Originally posted by spitz
Yeah, but on Mello, it's no big deal either way. On certain boards, the mods will jump in and close zombie threads, and can be a bit huffy about bumps.Quote:
