Ok Brad, very funny

[StirCrazy]

Ok you had your fun now give them back :mrgreen:

Steve

[Aquattro]

Sorry, can't chat with people having less than 7000 posts....new rule. You're close though...:)

[StirCrazy]

hmm.. ok,np you going to stop by for a beer some time?

Steve

[Aquattro]

yup. Do you like my new post padder policy?? I thought it was genius!!

I'll call tonight....

[StirCrazy]

um, you have to remove about 3K from your total if you are to comply with your policy :mrgreen:

[Aquattro]

um, you have to remove about 3K from your total if you are to comply with your policy :mrgreen:

Steve

No, everything I remove, I'm gonna add to mine. Or someone else's, could be a surprise :)

[Myka]

I need a few more.

[Marlin65]

:lol: I thought it all went by join date not posts.:lol:

[Aquattro]

:lol: I thought it all went by join date not posts.:lol:

Truthfully, I don't get the whole post count thing..I guess it means some of us talk too much?? I dunno :)

[my2rotties]

So is there a prize for a certain amount of posts, or is it just for bragging rights?

[Aquattro]

So is there a prize for a certain amount of posts, or is it just for bragging rights?

No prize, I guess what it's supposed to mean is that since I have 9000 posts, I'm really smart about reefs. Really, what it means, is that I've been arguing with stircrazy since 2001 about nothing! lol

[Trigger Man]

I look at posts when asking questions and assume that once the person is past 500 that they have written a bunch on here and should be giving decent advice. Above all though, I like to look at join date or in the signature as to how long they have been keeping SW tanks and what type.

Well, in all fairness, some of the best advice I've seen on here came from people with less than 50 posts. And lots of the old timers with thousands tend not to reply anymore, because they've answered that question 10 times already over the years.
Ideally, get 20 answers, and take the average. Take me, I've been doing SPS and giving advice here for 8 years, I have almost 9000 posts and I couldn't tell you squat about running a softie tank. You really need to analyze everything you get here, then form your best guess answer yourself.

[sitandwatch]

Post to make my post count higher, I already feel more knowledgeable :biggrin:

You haven't been paying attention to the new post pad policy :) See Steve's whining, er, mean, comments above -lol

[Aquattro]

Ok, I feel terrible about Steve's lost posts, so I've re-added the 1000 posts he feels he lost. Steve, thanks for the apology, and I'll eat the 3% paypal charge. :)

I dissagree with the 500 post policy. There are a people on here that have way more posts then that on here and still don't make any sense. Not to mention the people who have reached that number by asking questions or rating pictures to get that post number padded.

Chris

[Aquattro]

or rating pictures to get that post number padded.

Chris

Ah, yes, the rate the picture trick. Where is he anyway, he hasn't posted in a while :)

[Chowder]

Rate the picture 101.

Chris

[StirCrazy]

we can rate pics here?

[Chowder]

No

[christyf5]

Dammit, now I'll never beat Steve. Brad change it back quick!!

[StirCrazy]

Dammit, now I'll never beat Steve. Brad change it back quick!!

oh you wait missy, it took brad a year of me not posting to get ahead.. I am going to be back with a vengance now LOL

[fishoholic]

I don't think I realized how high some peoples post counts really are. Hummmm.....where are the pictures I can rate? :mrgreen:

[christyf5]

hey I'll have you know that at least 75% of my posts are quality posts not just padding and rating pictures and junk. OK maybe 60% then :razz:

I do recall a lot of "hey anyone want to chat tonight?" threads posted by myself in the beginning though, thats how I sucked up my great knowledge :wink:

Hey, what ever happened to our chat feature?

[christyf5]

it died a horrible death. actually I don't think it was added on with vbulletin. that was back in the days of phpBB

[Chowder]

Isn't this thread really just post padding?

god no, not when rogue mods are involved! And I was just gonna make you a honorary mod......sigh

[christyf5]

Ooh and oldie but goodie. Ok I take that back, it was never good. Ugh.

[Aquattro]

Ultimately yes, :biggrin:

K, we need to get the story straight. I just said no....

[christyf5]

righto, whatever you say Rogue. Wow you could be a powerranger or whatever that movie was a few years ago. X-men. Except I think Rogue was a chick. YOu'd make a crappy chick, except you know about Sephora.

[Chowder]

Honorary mod? Do I get to wear a badge?

Chris

I have to agree. Plus I will be going through canreef withdrawal while I'm at work tomorrow and Friday. My boss is having meetings throughout the next 2 days and I'm not allowed in her office room, which is where the computers are. :pout:

umm, hmm. Ok. No Sephora points transferred to you...

NOT that I have any, personally, that I would admit to on a web board. Ha!

Almost like a refresher!

Is that what got you the job?

[StirCrazy]

thats ok Christy, some of us appreciate you :mrgreen: (did I spell the big word right?)

[brizzo]

I vote somebody resets the vbulletin post counters,

"This will recalculate all of your user's post counts based on their CURRENT posts in the database. Do not run this if you have pruned posts, manually changed post counts, or imported from another forum package and you wish to maintain your users' current counts. Your members' post counts will PROBABLY decrease so only run this if you believe you really need to! Once they decrease you cannot bring them back up without restoring your database or manually editing each user. You have been warned!"

Could be interesting :)

[fishoholic]

Um, hello Blackberry??

*sigh* I don't have one :sad: I might be getting an i-pod touch soon, which would be nice. However I do believe my other half said something about how I'd need to stop spending so much money on fish stuff before I'd able to afford one. Hummmm maybe I won't be getting one soon :razz:

[Aquattro]

Is that what got you the job?

No, I got tricked into it. They told me that everyone would like me! Hahahaaa. So now I rely on the imagination :)

[christyf5]

No, I got tricked into it. They told me that everyone would like me! Hahahaaa. So now I rely on the imagination :)

[Rbacchiega]

Booo Spiderman.

on a somewhat related note...

Watchman = FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC movie. Mr Manhattan = best CGI I've seen in a while

[fishoholic]

Well, ya, you gotta like me for that! And we don't do that for just any cool chick either!

Of course not :wink:

I think so. Good movie all around, especially if you followed the actual illustrated novel.

The Watchman does look good. I want to see it in the theater. Another good movie I just saw was "Taken"

I don't go to alot of movies really. They have to be incredible looking to peak my interest. Taken was a great movie, though. One movie to avoid at all costs, it is the plague of movies....Beverly Hills Chiuahua....that was 1.5 hours of my life I'll never get back....ever

[Aquattro]

Is that a clue? Or? Oh, are we on page 11? Already? Wow. See what I meant about post count? Means one talks too much...

Hey are we on page 12 yet?

[Rbacchiega]

I go stircrazy (hey!) if I'm in one spot for too long. Be it in the house or city what have you. I'm pretty sure it drives people nuts. But it's the best way to be. When I was 19 I decided to drive until my car ran out of gas, work doing odd jobs to get money, and then move on. I went all over Canada and the US that way, took about a year.

I have a huge diversity, but I left merle and that stuff on the farm when I moved away :mrgreen: nothing wrong with it, just grew up with it so I was sick of it.

Spicey Tuna Roll is good, but I'm also a fan of Unagi (bbq eel) when it's done right. Some of the best Unagi I've ever had was actually in Winnepeg of all places.
