blackjohn Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 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: https://pyracy.com/index.php?showtopic=2&am...p=0entry0 I almost busted out laughing at Bilgemunkey's posts... My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchess Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Interesting! Does this mean all those purged old posts are not lost to the internet wasteland? That could be fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 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...) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
