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.

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.

Scot probably has some magic wand that he can wave and up Bruno's post count to a million.

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.

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.

I am practicing the fade away approach.....

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)

[Guest LilBambi]

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.

[V.T. Eric Layton]

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!

[Guest LilBambi]

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.

[V.T. Eric Layton]

I have tireswingtesteralan for that on my boards. Haven't you met him before? Here's his intro --> http://www.vtel57.co...swingtesteralan Link dead.

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.

No need to create a new Username...just have the Admin reset your count...I did this at another Forum for the very same reasons...

[Guest LilBambi]

That's a great idea patio and one that doesn't go against any Forum Registration rules.

[V.T. Eric Layton]

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.

[ross549]

there go 99% of the forums........

[amenditman]

I think you should watch that 'new' guy, ChipDoc. If anyone is going to get close to 34,000 posts it's him.

[V.T. Eric Layton]

Chip who?

[amenditman]

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.

[V.T. Eric Layton]

He's got HAPPY fingers!

[Urmas]

Chip who?

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.

[V.T. Eric Layton]

Ah... ChipBot, huh? :lol:I have many imaginary friends.

I know, you told me I was one of them. Edited January 16, 2011 by amenditman
