Topic #2

I was suddenly taken by a question... what's the first topic ever posted here? It seems topic #1 doesn't exist. Thus, Topic #2:

I almost busted out laughing at Bilgemunkey's posts...

Interesting! Does this mean all those purged old posts are not lost to the internet wasteland? That could be fun...

As far as general forum behavior goes, I've usually found post counts cause more bad than good. Some folks fall easily for the "quantity" trap and you wind up getting what you measure - reams of pointless posts (including some posts which complain about reams of pointless posts). Although the jawless skull icon you get when your post count reaches Mail Order Surgeon is cool.

I believe a lot of the old posts were in Beyond which got purged... In fact, if I recall correctly (which I may not) I once raised what I then perceived to be the first post to the top of the forum - it was a kind of introductory "So we're here...now what should we do?" post. It was cool.

*sniff* Grrr.

(Girrrrr...)
