What AH? Are you declaring a War on Post Poverty? New programs for the Great Post Society? Are you promising a post in every pot, or a square post deal?

I think I'll call it the Posts New Deal.

We must address the needs of the post impoverished. I'm tired of seeing post lines and people with signs around their neck saying "need posts, willing to do any kind of post."

Well, anyone willing to present their case is welcome.

Meanwhile, those posts are useful to keep this thread on the top of the page on this poll has atracted a representative vote.

That requires only a couple of thousands more votes.

YAAAH!!! SPAM THE THREAD! SPAM THE THREAD! WE SHALL NOT BOW DOWN TO THIS TYRANNY! DESTROY POST COUNTS! WE SHALL SPAM THE THREAD UNTIL OUR DEMANDS ARE MET!

Or maybe we should be less violent.


We shall spam the thread,
we shall spam the thread,
we shall spam the thread, someda-a-a-a-ay,
o-oh deep in my heart,
I do believe,
that we shall spam the thread someday!


I have a dream! My four little children shall one day live in a forum where members are not judged by the number of their posts but by the quality of their spamming. From every mountainside, let freedom ring!

Damn this is fun!

But on a more serious note, I don't have any idea what my post count is. I know I am over 500, because I checked it a while ago. After I made a post a while ago, something told me to look at my post count, and it was at exactly 500! I am telepathic! Now don't ask me what that has to do with anything, ramble ramble ramble.

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Precisely my original point! This post count abolition movement is nothing but a naked attempt by the Ancien Regime to suppress the up and coming middle classes. They sit on their gilded thrones amusing themselves with our daily struggles all the while unloading pompous platitudes like: "Apres moi, Le Deluge!" and "Let them eat cake." Let this be a warning that the teeming masses of the declasse are seething with discontent, and that any attempt by the elite to oppress them further will elicit such a torrent as to sweep them aside! Oh sure, we bourgeiose will try to keep the whole thing under control, but you know what happened the last time! So beware, and above all, don't lose your heads!

2-0 for solid cheese. I'll make it three, and let you go with the warning that you'll be seeing a lot more spams in all of the forums now that OT doesn't count. Dr. Strangelove: "A bas le roi! A bas les empereurs! Et surtout, A BAS LES ADMINISTRATEURS!"

As it stands at 10:44 GMT 23rd June 2001, if both posters keep up their current rate of posting...

AH will make deity in 46 days.
PH will make deity in 54 days.

However, this relies on AH making 0.87 posts each day, which seems unlikely, though he does seem to be creeping the last 100 posts very slowly.

If I'm not mistaken, it's a Quebec product . My mother loves it. Now, since I'm a socialist, I think we should distribute all PCs equally. That means we should all have the same rank, and we would all reach Deity at the same instant. Liberté! Egalité! Fraternité!

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

GP, what are you thinking? This is a GREEK site, so they can have several deities, I think more than a dozen. Does anyone know the total number of Greek deities? Can you name them all? Saaayyyy, how about we make each poster who ascends to Mt. Olympus assume the name of one of the Greek gods? We could hold contests or polls to name each one. Perhaps this would hold down on the spamming by the worst spammers of all. I mean, anyone who makes it to 10,000 posts has to have been knee deep in meat byproducts.

Pallas Athena Daughter of zeus and goddess of wisdom, virgin patron of household crafts, protectress of in war of those who worshipped her.

Aphrodite Goddess of love and beauty, to Ares, her lover, she bore several children, among them Fear and Terror.

Artemis Twin sister of Apollo, daughter of Zeus, virgin goddess of the moon and the hunt, and guardian of cities, young animals and women of all ages.

Demeter Goddess of crops, giver of grain and fruit.

Hermes Zeus' son and messenger to mortals, protector of flocks and cattle, of thieves and mischief-makers, and guardian of wayfarers.

Ares Son of Zeus and Hera, detested by both, God of War, was a symbol of war, of it's evil, it's suffering and it's sorrow, he was held in awe by the Greeks but was never an object of adroation.

Hephaestus Son of Hera, god of Fire and Artisans. From his forges came many marvels, among them the first woman, Pandora, into whom the gods breathed life.
