Posting more than 2 OT posts in a day by flying across the international date line. Remove this text

I'm thinking that when we return from the Phils we will cross a date line which will allow us to post 4 times in a 24 hour period because it would be two different dates when we post them, yes?

Oh please don't tell me this is why you went there...

Besides, if I'd crossed the dateline and back the first thing I'd do is sleep, not Poly! And OT?

I wonder why there's no market for free threads yet.
I mean, I have 2 spare new OT threads for this day to sell. One can buy one of them for 100 postcounts.

So, you want to post a new topic, I'll open the thread with some bogus first post, and you can start the real thread in the 2nd post.

So, now it's a matter of supply and demand to see the price for 1 thread raise or fall.
Will the mods be helpfull transmitting the paid postcounts?

Based on past activity, no. And others who start the same thread to replace a closed one generally find themselves on the vaction-end of mod-stick.

+0s. He mentioned the new threads would be in the OT. Unless you meant this thread itself, in which case the +1 motive is valid accusatory ammunition.

You should point that "finger" at other people...

like some of the spammers that have to post in every community forum thread

Lancer has NEVER cared about his post count... He doesn't play those silly games like "some" people do

True enough. He does play THAT game, but not the post count game.

That is played mostly by the people I see posting in most of the threads in this forum.

It might be time to start handing out some PCR's to see if it slows them down

I must admit I feel an urge to get my 140 posts back.
Especially that actually that time the numerous of my posts was rather a matter of being used to posting much or an accident perhaps than intentional.
I'm angry about it. I should have been pcred perhaps when I was indeed spamming in this forum, but not today.

Edit: what's that jerk yer chain?
