amenditman Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) Congrats Josh.Eric, nice new siggy. Hey, now you have a great new Linux signature, how about making that graphic a link to the Bruno How-To's. Then it will be real cool Linux.

amenditman Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) and without further ado,+1:lol: lol!Congrats, Temmu.This thread is working out great.79 posts and counting. You have gone up 14 so far. Edited January 11, 2011 by amenditman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrat Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I think, as a sign of reverence, nobody should ever have more posts than Bruno. Maybe delete some old posts if you get close? At the current rate, LiBambi will get close in about 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlim Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Scot probably has some magic wand that he can wave and up Bruno's post count to a million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe delete some old posts if you get close? At the current rate, LiBambi will get close in about 20 years.I've thought about what would happen when one of us approached Bruno's post count numbers. Personally, I'll probably retire my current username at 37,903 post. Scot probably has some magic wand that he can wave and up Bruno's post count to a million.Admins can definitely adjust post counts. I'd rather leave Bruno's as-is and just create a new username should I ever approach that 37,904 post count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryB Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Ok..thought I'd add another for my post count...actually I'm just not that chatty (either with or without purpose or in person either...however, if dumb looks counted...I would lead the pack) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I understand your feelings Eric ... technically, however, the ToS that we sign onto when we become members on the forum prevent multiple usernames.Bruno was an absolutely stellar guy! And he would want us to beat him out on postings now in the spirit of helping each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Ah.... but I wouldn't technically have multiple usernames. I would retire one and start another. By the way, have you seen how many variations of Scot Finnie usernames we have on this board. HAHAHA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Of course, things are a bit different with owners of forums than with members -- he needs multiples so he can make sure how registration, changes, etc. are working for various levels of membership. You likely have several on your own board for that very purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zlim Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 On most forums where I have elevated privileges, I always create a normal user account. That way, when I'm at a hotspot, I log in as a normal user. If anyone sniffs my password, they can't trash a forum because it is just a normal user account.

Guest LilBambi Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 That's a great idea patio and one that doesn't go against any Forum Registration rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Well, I thought about that too, but if I actually ever got 30K+ posts here, I sure wouldn't want to see them reset to zero. Ah well, it'll probably be ages before any of us have to really start worrying about this. Julia is the closest, but even she would need 13K+ post to catch up and she's been very scarce lately. Fran is next closest; and at her rate, we'll all have direct access Internet chips implanted in our brains before she gets 34K posts. HAHA! I think the one we're going to have to worry about is Temmu. And he would be easy to work around. We'll just make a new forum rule that all posts require proper capitalization to be approved.

amenditman Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I think you should watch that 'new' guy, ChipDoc. If anyone is going to get close to 34,000 posts it's him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amenditman Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) He has been here 4 months and already has 10% of your post count, Eric.Maybe you better quit writting that great detective novel and get to work posting here.I know my post average has gone up since I've been unemployable.

amenditman Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 The bot "who's" got 25,000 posts on yer two forums, that's "who". Maybe, it is just a test ID.A way for Eric to keep his lifetime post count below 34,000.Have any of you actually a shred of proof that this 'ChipDoc' is a real person and not just another of Eric's imaginary friends.
