49,000 posts soon - 50,000 Right Around the Corner

[Garritan]

We're almost at 49,000 posts. Would someone take a screenshot of the 49,00th post (I'll probably miss it).

50,00 posts very soon. What a milestone! We're going to have to do something really special for the 50,000th poster. Any ideas?

Well, we aim to please so you aim too please!:p

[UNIX_GURU]

so you aim too please

The funny thing about that is the fact that I just came back from the shooting range. :eek: How did you know where I was? :confused:

[Stephanie Pray]

Good luck everybody! I probably won't be in the running this time. :( It's time to leave work, and I just found out that the power is out in my neighborhood. :( If it comes on though, count me in!! :)

[Ivan P]

And I'm off tomorrow for Berlin.... I will miss 49.000 and 50.000... hopefully Luk and Christian will make it, hehehe ;) I will join with you asap!!

Iván

[Stephanie Pray]

Yea!! The power is on!!! Looks like I'll be here for a while. :)

[SeanHannifin]

You should also offer a pity prize for the 49,999th and 50,001st poster . . . because they sure will be upset . . . :)

[Stephanie Pray]

That's a great idea!!! I know that I've been in that boat! :D

[Toonyfish]

Let's see... I really have things to do but I happen to check in at the time that 49,000 is here. Well, I could put it all off until tomorrow. Start postin! :p

[tgfoo]

I think you should just give everyone a nice prize when 50,000 is hit ;) . If possible, I'd like my prize to be an extra 10 hours of night time per day so that I can actually get a decent amount of sleep.... Speaking of sleep...that's probably what I'll be doing when post 49,000 is hit.

[FredProgGH]

I was going to ask if I could have something to get me over this apathy but then, really, I don't care.

[lukpcn]

so who is on the run with me ? :cool:

[SeanHannifin]

I finally finished my homework . . . and now I must go to bed for the five hours of the night that are left . . . see you in the morning! :)

cmon baby

[Daag Nabbott]

Who won?

[ixm]

How are you able to post in such a short time span, I thought there was a time limit? ;)

[joshj]

fever to win

[Daag Nabbott]

Did I?

[joshj]

cmon

[joshj]

now

[joshj]

what?

[joshj]

huh

[joshj]

nooow

[joshj]

who won

[joshj]

was it me or you

[astrt4]

was it me or you

Daag Nabbott won

[joshj]

there is a time limit it kept telling me to wait

[ixm]

It was either Dag, Unix, josh or I.

Unix made a post in the same time frame in the demos forum which makes it harder to tell. However, Dag's second post in this thread at the end was 49,003 at 11:56 pm.

So I guess it depends where Unix's post in the demos forum came into play...because a lot of posts came in that last minute. Assuming Unix's was prior to 49,000 then Dag is the 49,000 post if we look back into this thread alone. If it wasn't then I was either 49,001 or 49,000. Did anyone take a screen capture?

[Daag Nabbott]

Daag Nabbott won
Seriously? Did you catch a screen shot?

[joshj]

so how can we be sure?

[astrt4]

Seriously? Did you catch a screen shot?


Yes

[joshj]

did anybody get a screen shot?

[joshj]

you do have a screen shot? :(

[UNIX_GURU]

Daag won!

http://www.clarkaudio.com/gpo/49000.jpg


Good job :D

[astrt4]

you do have a screen shot? :(

Yes. I don't see a way to include a screenshot here, but I can send it via e-mail if Gary needs it. I've saved it in an Open Office text document.

[astrt4]

oh, good. Someone else got it.

[ixm]

I guess I was 49,001 and off by a few milliseconds. ;) Congratulations Daag!

[joshj]

awww... well congratulations daag. ya'll let me drive the wagon by myself though. sniffle... sniff

[Daag Nabbott]

Daag won!


Good job :D
Thank you unix for being thoughtful enough to catch a screen shot. I, otherwise, would have been clueless.
I'm tired and must go to bed now. Thanks, y'all, it was a fun time. :)

[lukpcn]

Holy Crap! this was fast & furious... i've had too long breakfast i see now :(
No cookies :( :D :D :D
Congrats to the lucky shooter. :cool:

[UNIX_GURU]

Thanks Toon!

Well, rumor has it that Gary is giving away jars of haggis and pairs of llamas pajamas! ;) Luckpn says he is getting candy..... Hehe....Honestly, I think Gary is giving away a copy of one of his products. He would be the one to confirm what he is offering though. Well, you can't say that you never won anything before now! :D

Wow! Well, may I have me one of them there Garritan Big Band soundset thingies? (please?) :o

[gugliel]

Let me help by saying that for the occasional visitor FEWER jokes, FEWER posts about how many posts there are would be appreciated! This has probably been said before ... just haven't waded through all of it to see.

[SeanHannifin]

Fewer jokes? Well, I realize what this forum is for, but this place would be rather dull were it not for the humor. Many of us need the humor to get through the day. :)

[Joseph Burrell]

Well, as an infrequent visitor you don't realize the good that is done here or the interesting and informative dialog that is common place. Its easy to judge things improperly on a haphazard glance, but that doesn't mean what you see is all there is. Most frequent visitors here enjoy the lighthearted, well meaning, and most of the time interesting conversation that goes on here and those are the people that made it what it is and benefit daily from it. Case closed. :mad:

[Garritan]

Let me help by saying that for the occasional visitor FEWER jokes

We will consider adhering to tawdry mundane discussions of sample mortification to accomodate the ocassional visitor. Then again...maybe not.http://www.northernsounds.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif

That was very funny Gugliel. Your smile on your photo seems to suggest you have a sense of humor. http://www.northernsounds.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Let the record show that I have had nothing to do with the outlandish humor, wit, and jokingly behavior that has become common place on this forum!
Now, if you'll excuse me, there's a Lama in my Pajama's. How he got in my pajama's I'll never know!
Say, wouldja be happenta be havin soume of that cheese cake ya had laddy last yearrra?
Joking around, indeed! This is a surrealistic forum and hey ... don't ever forget - We Built This Forum On G P O!:p
