IW, that's the funniest way of spamming oneself to a new title I've seen so far Thanks to this thread alone you were able to halve your distance to the King title in less than 36 hours (17 posts to go, 8 posts in this thread alone). What normally would have costed almost a week to accomplish should now only take 2 days or less. And by posting this I've just given you another opportunity to get that new title even faster...

Why will no-one take this seriously? Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

Better make a post on this page for convenience. I think I now have 1 more to go.

Maybe this thread was a bad idea, and a PM to Markos would have acheived the result easier, but I don't want to be a king, and I want everyone to know that.

"1 more to go"

Sounds like a postcount thread (it's not as if the whole thread isn't). Just to make sure you don't have a crisis here, I think I'll give you a 10% PCR just to spare you the anguish.

I think he's been here long enough - or is it just post count based? I thought it was 500 or six months, but I don't know for sure.

Besides, we can upload avatars for any poster. (and they can't change it )

No less than 501 please

I'd really prefer Solver's suggestion.
1. A normal post count, cos I really like to know how much time I have spent here, and how much I do post, and so it wont screw up my average post per day, not because I like the big numbers, but just to know.
2. The fixed title of Prince.

BUMP, as promised Increase Your PM Length

So here I am again, on 1000 posts, so I'm not spamming to king, I'm campaigning against king. I invite you all to re-read my first post in this thread, take in its meaning, and try to understand what I'm feeling.

However, I have also pointed out that PCRing me monthly is no solution, and really, it will be a lot easier for everyone if I can just have a static title of Prince.

Will Markos please even acknowledge he has noticed this thread?
Please consider it, for the mental health of your community members?

Thankyou again

The Immortal Wombat.
Prince at heart.

management is the key Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Perhaps you should plan your posts more carefully in order to minimise their number. Don’t post until absolutely necessary and PM or ICQ by preference. If there’s stuff you’re absolutely required to post, wait with it until you’ve got enough to compile it into one huge post that hits the maximum limit. Of course, you’ll have to cut down on the number of characters you use as well. (don’t use any auxiliary verbs and punctuation marks for a start)

Another solution is to ask other people to post something for you, under your name.

Or bribe Markos.

Sure, it’s all rather impractical but hey, no pain no gain.

Maybe I should have, but it's a little late now, I have 1002 post I think. I did employ that technique earlier int his thread, last time I hit 990 posts.

Incidentally, without that 10% PCR I would be 228th poster, but as it is, I'm much lower. Not that it matters, but voluntary PCRs would screw with DarkCloud's lists...

Could I get the posts back that would have come if I hadn't taken two long voluntary bannings? I still lurked the whole time and sent lots of PMs. About 2000 would be fair.

Got spare money?

Don't you find it bizarre that I am still a Prince after more than 4 years continuous postings?

I had to start a new account in the end, and had a choice between having my posts (around 900) or have the correct date of registration. (well almost )
