Title: 100th member!
Post by: -<WillyP>- on January 09, 2011, 06:26:39 AM
We have just had our 100th member join.  Should we have a celebration?  And if so how?

Last night it said 100 members and then I was the newest member. Now it says 101 and I'm still the newest member...? :-\

It's because you're that cool.

Haha... I actually took the time to COUNT all the members, and 30 per page on pages 1-3, #91 starts page four... I'm 101... That's ok... 101 is the first step towards 200!

We have just had our 100th member join.  Should we have a celebration?  And if so how?


How about a nice song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvopEMKAnCM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvopEMKAnCM) and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H-uLvhDGBw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H-uLvhDGBw)).  And maybe some DQ ice cream cake (I do anything for icecream cake -- or that's what I say).
There's another song I'd post but it could be construed as anti-american--I mean--pro-war-of-1812.  So I won't post it (unless someone asks me to).

We should also change the site poll to this:

The pyramids were made by:

The ancient Egyptians

A bunch of stones being blown on top of each other

Bored aliens

Me. With a little help from my buddie Charlie, who's drunk most of the time, so he really wasn't much help, but we got 'er done anyway

Cows


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm a bit giddy right now, (like you haven't noticed)...
I'm going to be going to be seeing the Arrogant Worms in March (you probably don't know a thing about them unless you're Canadian but anyway...) !!!!!!!!!

So...who IS member 100?
Title: Re: 100th member!
Post by: VANGUARD on January 12, 2011, 07:14:24 AM
dinocrisisfan is.
just go to "members", then sort it out by date registered. 30 per page, on the 4th page, start at 91 count.

*whistles* almost 30 people with 0 posts. not too shocking, with 100+ people in here, and just a small handful are actually writing out topics and replying.

sorry, sort of off topic.
Title: Re: 100th member!
Post by: -<WillyP>- on January 12, 2011, 09:54:38 AM
I would imagine that a number of those zero post count members are spammers and could be deleted, in fact I have deleted quite a few in the past. Then we'd be waiting for a new 100th member.

Then again, some may be real members who just have not posted yet.
Title: Re: 100th member!
Post by: VANGUARD on January 12, 2011, 10:09:04 AM
is there a reason to sign up if you don't post anything? can you still download music, missions, etc?

Maybe some are having problems like I did. I can't remember what happened, I tried to log in and it failed, or never got an email confirmation.
All I know is, someone on here, sorry, forgot who, sent me another email; and in a nutshell, I was able to get logged in.

new poll is up? I don't see it? Is this to vote on who the true 100th member is? :)

It's on the Home page.

if it's the pyramid one, I did that. if it isn't, I am either blind or this computer isn't being nice to me.

The poll comes from the Arrogant Worms website.  If you know about them you'll know why there's the "Cows" option.
Title: Re: 100th member!
Post by: VANGUARD on January 19, 2011, 01:33:06 PM
this topic is too early now. only 99 members. some must have been removed. hackers maybe. who knows. Here I am counting though, saying yep, 99. then I see right above "view members" it says (99 members).  :-[

at least I know I'm good with basic math.

Well now it says 100 again!!!

Party again?
Title: Re: 100th member!
Post by: -<WillyP>- on January 20, 2011, 03:26:59 AM
It also says Fusion is the latest member.
Title: Re: 100th member!
Post by: VANGUARD on January 20, 2011, 07:23:55 AM
we have 100 again!  ;D ................until some are removed because they don't post, or spam, hack.

To get an idea of how many spammers we delete, view the stats, scroll down and see 'New Members', 173 so far this month!

173 spammers? 173 are new people this month? I see the list. 173 sounds big, especially by the other numbers.

This is not bias at all.
Male to Female Ratio: 10.7:1

Damn right B)



And holy crap with those spamers! This month isn't even over yet!

Not all of them were spammers, we did get some real members this month.  But only a few, the rest were rejected, most because they were on a known spammer list.

So... We'll never really know who the 100th member is will we? :(

EDIT: LOL! I thought I wasn't on the top 10 posters, then realized my name is not the one I was looking for :P
Title: Re: 100th member!
Post by: SaladBadger on January 20, 2011, 02:54:39 PM
I've outlurked everyone... Do I really spend that much time online here?

:P
Title: Re: 100th member!
Post by: Matthew on January 20, 2011, 04:05:35 PM
More importantly, do you really make that few posts per lurking minute?
Title: Re: 100th member!
Post by: SaladBadger on January 20, 2011, 05:38:19 PM
Seems like it... I've had some periods where the only thing I really do is read things.

All really depends on if I actually have anything to say.

Post by: Alieo on January 20, 2011, 05:39:46 PM
Hmm... I'm going to Florida this April to witness the last ever Shuttle launch. Maybe I'll leave myself online while I'm out of town to gain on you! lol!

Logged in time is likely based on activity -- when you're not doing anything, it doesn't consider you logged in. If it somehow was able to determine how long each client actually spent on the website, you'd have times much longer than those listed.
Title: Re: 100th member!
Post by: VANGUARD on January 20, 2011, 06:08:29 PM
still a lot of 0 posts from some, and 1 from a few. I checked out "thunder"s 1 post. he/she needed help, and no one came to his/her rescue.
sad kind of. maybe their problem got fixed.
Title: Re: 100th member!
Post by: Scyphi on January 21, 2011, 06:26:07 AM
I hate it when stuff like that happens, but they're always problems I can't help with, and no one else ever steps up.  ???

@ Alieo: You get to see the last shuttle launch? Lucky dog, I'm jealous.  ::)

@ InsanityBringer: Believe it or not, that's how I do it, too. Obviously, though, I have more to say. :P
Title: Re: 100th member!

Well, that happens sometimes... he could have bumped the topic and maybe gotten an answer.

I know that Xaihyv/FishBlaster hasn't posted because he's waiting until he has something to say.  He's coming online here more often than he used to though.

Post by: NUMBERZero on January 21, 2011, 09:05:20 AM
Everyone should come to Florida to watch the shuttle! Then we could have a Descent party at my house! :P

Post by: VANGUARD on January 21, 2011, 10:04:51 AM
i don't know how to solve some of these problems, and I'd hate to reply and say "hang in there."
I could be wrong, but more people look at 0 replies more than 1. 1 may mean it's solved, 0 doesn't.

A suggestion, should we place [solved] to indicate it's actually solved?

Well, they keep changing the launch dates, so I don't know if I'm going to the one on April 19th (Which WAS April 1st, and before that, Feb. 26th, and before that, November 16th, and before that ORIGINALLY originally 9/16/10), which is for the Shuttle Endeavor, but they just added a new launch date for Space Shuttle Atlantis in June... I might rather go to that one just so it doesn't interfere with the school semester.

I heard from the NASA website that you can't buy tickets until Discovery launches, which is now Feb. 24th. So, it's not too late if you guys wanna go see the shuttle launch. Just sign up for email alerts from the Kennedy Space Center website:
