38,000th post coming up...

[Joseph Burrell]

Guys, it looks like another thousand posts have come and gone in just a couple of weeks. It brings me joy to know how active and positive this community is and just how big it is growing. So who's going to have the lucky 38,000th post?

And Sean, you're disqualified since you've won the past 4 and have a system down (you should go to Vegas). :D

Try and get a screenshot of the winning post in case we're finally asleep when it happens.

Good luck!

[SeanHannifin]

:( I'll try to stay out of the way . . .

:D

[DPDAN]

where is the post number displayed?

[FredProgGH]

I officially disqualify myself. :D

[Brian2112]

Poor JB! Are you going to be up all night clicking "refresh"? GO TO BED BOY!:D

...2112:D

[UNIX_GURU]

We only need 68 more posts :cool:

[Joseph Burrell]

Not quite Brian. :D Finally, off to bed.

[Styxx]

So who's going to have the lucky 38,000th post? Question is, Why? :eek:

[falcon1]

Because I won the 37.000 post along with Sean, then I will not try for the 38.000 post. :D

[fmfgs]

I have a idea

[fmfgs]

I have a idea
There was a guy in the chat the other day who would love to work with GPO but simply cant afford it.

[fmfgs]

So if I'm around at the time I will try to win a copy for him...

[Joseph Burrell]

Yeah, lets win for lukpcn. He wants GPO badly and can't afford it.

[fmfgs]

Yeah, lets win for lukpcn. He wants GPO badly and can't afford it.
You got it JB!
where are the usual chat suspects?

[Styxx]

Really. Count me in on a chance to win him a copy!

[fmfgs]

Really. Count me in on a chance to win him a copy!
Thank you styxx!
how are the clarinets doing?

[FredProgGH]

Yeah, lets win for lukpcn. He wants GPO badly and can't afford it.


Perfect! I hereby proxy for lukpcn as well. :D

[tgfoo]

Winning prizes for people? I'd try to, but I'll probably be in class when 38,000 comes up, though I can get you guys one post closer.

[FredProgGH]

BTW I don't thik anyone should feel undue pressure to be altruistic here. I've had mine is all.

[Styxx]

Thank you styxx!
how are the clarinets doing?
Your whalecome.
The clarinets are OK as long as I use solo. The plrs 1, 2, & 3 can't figure out why they sound fuzzy. Almost distorted like I have too much gain on them. But that's a horse of a different color. Let's win this copy for lukpcn! This would make me real happy inside besides; no one on this forum should be without GPO!

[tgfoo]

no one on this forum should be without GPO!

Agreed

[Garritan]

Wait...what makes you think the prize was a GPO? I was thinking of the lama pajamas...

Seriously, the prize will be a GPO. That is very nice of you fellows to try to win a GPO for lukpcn. This community is incredible.

Gary Garritan

[Styxx]

OK people, you've just made my morning! There are real people in this world afterall!

[galvedro]

OK, lets try this time...

[fmfgs]

While waiting here, I went on with my clari-piece:

ftp://213.189.138.53/Clarinetissimo.mp3

ok Its monochrome - but interesting...

[Jan]

Has anyone sampled a spitting lama yet?

[Ivan P]

INTRUDER ALERT! Someone is trying to reach post # 38.000!

Oh, that’s me! ;)

[tgfoo]

:D :D :D :D

[fmfgs]

:D :D :D :D

you were 38001!

I missed 38000!

[Styxx]

All right, pull over PULL OVER! Let me see your post license and registration. So, ya were posting above the post limit were ya? Comon' let's go down to the station and book ya with a copy of GPO! :D

[Ivan P]

hahahaa so I am # 38.000?

hahahah can't beleive it... one chance in a million... well, or a bit less maybe :p

[tgfoo]

you were 38001!

I missed 38000!

I know, I need to go back through the old posts and study Sean's technique. Clearly I was unprepared for 38,000. I'll just have to work hard, and come back with a better effort in a couple weeks for 39,000 :p

[Ivan P]

So, were can I try my new Pijama? :)

[Ivan P]

Wow guys, you must hate me after that... no one is talking to me... do I have to show my GPO license?

[Styxx]

There was a guy in the chat the other day who would love to work with GPO but simply cant afford it.
I'll throw in $25.00 anyone care to match?

[falcon1]

Wow guys, you must hate me after that... no one is talking to me... do I have to show my GPO license?

hehehe... did you win this time?

Guys, we shall try to win prize for Lukpcn again next time. :)

[falcon1]

I'll throw in $25.00 anyone care to match?

I can match that if you take paypal. :)

[Ivan P]

Hehe that's ok... I don't know you guys since I am not as active members as you... Fortunately I already own GPO and had the chance to meet Gary in Scotland last summer, and I am most of the time including GPO in my projects, so I really don't mind giving the price to this person... only remember me if I don't have the money to buy the Big Band upgrade or Choir :p

Regards and thanks again, Gary.

Iván.

[Joseph Burrell]

I remember you Ivan. Where the heck ya been? Enjoy you're prize!

As far as lukpcn goes, I'll throw in $25 as well. It will give him a nice Christmas present.

[Styxx]

Wow guys, you must hate me after that... no one is talking to me... do I have to show my GPO license?
I don't like the word "hate" and certainly do not have time to hate you or anyone else for winning fare and square. I just would love to see this person have the same chance at using this wonderful tool we all love.
Thanks IvanP for giving up the prize and yes, we'll remember you when the jazz lib comes out.
No hard feelings Mr. Bond - "The World Is Not Enough" :D

[Ivan P]

hehe Thks Joseph... Just been working too much lately :)

Really, If this person really wants GPO, let me just contribute somehow to this forum, of course I guess I would not insist if I didn't have GPO or GOS lite as I do, but hey as you said it's almost Christmas!

Regards,

Iván

[Garritan]

Iván,

That is really great of you to do this. Lukpcn is from Poland and was on the chat writing how much he wanted GPO, but couldn't afford it.

Of course I'll remember you when the new libraries come out http://www.northernsounds.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif and I can send you haggis too.http://www.northernsounds.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

It was a pleasure to meet you in Scotland and hope we meet again.

Thanks for bringing Christmas early http://www.northernsounds.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif

You are a gentlemen and a very kind hearted person! ;)

[DPDAN]

I think we need to have a chat, and let Gary or Ivan present the present.

[Styxx]

Woe....hey....nice idea....yeah. ;)

[Styxx]

Can you just feel how this person is going to feel when he hears he has won GPO! Damn, you guys are something else!! :)

[Karl Garrett]

Just got here for a little mid day glance at the forum. What a nice thing to do for someone. What an exciting time it will be for Lukpcn. Would love to see his face. What a shame we don’t have video chat.

Karl

[lukpcn]

I don't know what to say... i'm just in shock...
BIGGEST thanks to Ivan for the x-mas present... really i can't tell what i feel...
Maybe i will be able to let You know what I feel thru the music done with GPO.
Many thanks also to all the forum guys who wanted to do the same as Ivan... i really don't know what to say.... You're fabolous community and i very appreciate it.... very much....

Thanks again....
i must be in shock....no it's a dream... i really don't believe it....

Thanks Ivan and all the guys.... and of course Garry for being generous too.

Lukpcn

[Ivan P]

You are most welcome... a message like yours, so sincere, is a huge reward... I was just passing by... I usually am too busy or too scared to post music, but I listen to and read everything you guys post... this is a great forum and the idea from doing the present was from styxx and the others... I just discovered it after winning... and I was somehow a bit ashamed of my "happy intrusion" :p (kidding) but after knowing that you wanted it so much I really wanted to give it ;) I know what it is to play it... even after one year after having received it it surprises me every time I use it... so enjoy it as much as you can, I'm sure you will!

All the best,

Iván.

Just goes to prove that the GPO Forum is the nicest Forum in the whole world! Kudos to you Ivan and everyone who pulled for Luk!

:) KevinKauai

[FredProgGH]

Woohoo!! Just got home- what a great turn of events!! It makes a feller proud. I'll still kick in $25 for something for Ivan since he gave away his something to someone else... :D :D

[FireGS]

I GOT 38,100!!

[SeanHannifin]

I just got 38,110! :D

[joshj]

Man, you guys are really something. I don't post that often, but this forum is in a class all its own. There is no online community that I've seen like Gary's. You guys operate with exceptional kindness and generosity. To Gary and all you guys: Good going and Merry Christmas! (Happy Hannauka too!)

[Brian2112]

Agreed 110%...and kudos to Gary as well. This is how I define professionalism. A single good deed, no matter the scale, can change the world for the better. I am really proud to be among such wonderful people. Welcome to the family Luk!:)
