    You just know someone is about to make a post that says nothing but "Tee Hee" just because Mango mentioned it specifically.

    You do realize rm95, that you single handedly brought mango out of 'lurk' mode to condemn you. That's some effort.

    If I were you, I'd just buy a license of webrunner (or whatever the winrunner tangent is... maybe webload) and just right a script that every 60 seconds submits a post. The tool determines which element it needs to fire the click event for, fires it, and carries on. If I were you though, I'd make it a little bit more dynamic than a <space> or whatever, I'd write a script that rewrote my scripts (since the scripts aren't dynamic), thus enabling it to enter varying text into this here textarea. Perhaps you could buy an encyclopedia db and then pull random text from it.

    Oh yeah, all that is to get past the 60 second rule (though there is another), and more importantly, allow yourself some sleep.

    Ah, it's no fun if you've got some automated system to get all the posts. All the fun is in actually making the posts.

    Plus, his goal was to actually make every one of those posts count, so technically, he's already failed and should perhaps abandon the whole idea of passing 2,000 before Tuesday.

    mrpaige,

    but we'd get to read an encyclopedia for free! the board would be saved right up until the bbs's db crashed the night of the first game.

    on second thought rm95, just hang out and rent a video.

    what are you doing in houston anyway?

    Achebe, the spirit of my goal isn't to make a huge quantity of posts, it's to make a huge quantity of "quality" posts. Now, I know most of you will say that not one of my 1819 posts have had any quality in them, and you know what? I probably agree with that.

    I'm not going to sit at home, I just got back from the movies, about to go catch a long dinner, and relax for the rest of the evening. Early morning game at DKR!

    I'll be in Houston for the opening game against the Tpups!

    Is it any coincidence that the Cato is the only Rocket with a temperature scale named after him?

    We may be witnessing history as we speak on the CC.NET BBS.

    RM95 demolishing BobFinn's* record (listed at least, I'm sure IROCit of a couple years ago is close) of 9 posts a day is unbelievable. Even though its for only a four day duration, if RM95 succeeds in his goal and averages 55 posts/day, it will be the equivalent of an NBA player averaging 300 points for four games. For anyone's interest, that comparison was made by taking Wilt's approx. season high average of 50pts/gm compared to BFinn's 9 posts a game, and multiplying it by six (55 posts/day). Of course, if the quality of those posts are low, then its the equivalent of an NBA player averaging 300 pts/gm against a bunch of pre-schoolers. [​IMG]

    Whaddya know, looks like your not the only bored RM95! [​IMG] Good luck in your little mission.

    Dang, I only need four more posts (after this one) to get to my goal of 1,000 posts by this Tuesday. I guess I actually need to slow down a bit.

    RM95,

    why not lend your password to FInn, he'll get you there.
    Or just do what he does and start some meaningles thread, say about what colour shoes the rockets should wears, and argue with yourself.

    Unfortunately, a two-hour blowout with the ex may ultimately lead to my downfall. I am extremely emotionally exhausted right now.

    Plus, I had to go wait in line for the new U2 album!
