The Neverending Post!

[Salvor]

I'm with you DG!

[Salvor]

Yeah!

[James Harvey]

Glad to see you agree, Salvor. Besides, posting to bump up your number seems to trivial,especially when we mods can bump them right down...(insert evil and insidious laugh)...but I don't think we'd ever do that.

[Calhoun07]

For somebody who seems to hate useless posts, you certainly show up here quite a bit! Could it be that you actually covet the useless posts?

[Mr. Obsession]

I have to go with calhoun on this one, I think DG has a thing for useless posts.

Well if you can bump 'em down me thinks that you can bump 'em up. And how are we to know if you're not doing that right now.


Ya know, I think I'd just about do anything to have my post count artificially inflated, say to 10,000 posts, just for one day. After which you could reset it back to zero for all I care. Well actually I would care, just set it back to 70 something. But if you did that for me everyone else would want the same thing. It would be madness. Madness I say!

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

What about some useless rules for the useless thread? ( useless cuz I can't actually make people follow them )
How about:
1) Please try not to post two ( or 3-4-5-6 ect.) posts in a row. Keep your uselessnes to one post and write something really useless!
2)...umm...I wouldn't even bother

We are now a small gang of useless posters and here is the top 8 list:

1) Calhoun: has an impressive amount of useless 18 posts! Only three where in a row. Congrats Cal!

2) Mr Obsession: seconds with 8 posts. Four of them in a row. Here...you get a candy bar for that one.

3) Dick Grayson: A man who claims he hates uselessness and yet he gets third prize with total 6 posts. You have won a pink bb gun with polkadots!

4) 5 posts. We have 3 candidates for this one: Red Dragon, Birdboy and Optimal321. For your convenience we have a puddle of mud so you can wrestle for the fourth position. How about that?

5) Salvor and Fish - 4 posts. I tight draw here but with this post I will get one more than you Sal ( mind if I join yer mudwrestling guys?)

6) Maxie Zeus: A man who has descended from the high and mighty to find the purpose of useless posts. With 3 posts he is now very close to the answer!

7) Inque and Flash: 2 posts each. Where one might think that Inque would post and absurd number of replies to himself he has now learned that too much of something leads to..umm...uselessnes ( no pun inteded Ink!) ...and the mighty Flash as a reminder, not to posts to yourself! ( remember the useless rules Peeps!!)

8) 1 post: Dr Belch, Batboy2000, SJJ. I donno...with the mudpuddle fight, RD reminded the other two about that it wasn't a mudhole but an operating table...and she's the surgeon!!
And considering that you guys only contributed with one poor sod of a post, one might even call your posts reasonable! You guys get to clean the latrines the next month! With a toothbrush!
*booooo*


Yup...That was the useless nomination of the year.
Remember: this useless thread isn't for boosting your posts number, cuz then there would be reason behind your actions and we don't like that here in this useless post!

[Calhoun07]

This is perhaps the most thoughtful post on this useless thread! As far as the rules go, I dunno....I don't always post twice in a row just to see my number jump up even more. Most times it's for a reason, and that's that I thought of something after I posted the message and it's easier to post a post script than to go in and edit the previous post. Now, maybe some people post more times in a row just to see their numbers jump, but if they do, it isn't something that's being abused.

Hey, Fish, what did I win? Dick even got a nifty BB Gun! I am the top poster here and I don't even get dick!

[Fish]

What? Isn't the title enough for you?
No really I was thinking about giving you a prize but kinda forgot it. What do I have to offer..hmm..lemme c...*crawls into a large crate with useless artifacts*

AHA!!! You are the lucky winner of a nifty box with lambwool nipplewarmers! Not only do you keep your nipples warm but if you have a girlfriend they are great for simultanious warmth on your belly buttons!

Enjoy!!

[Bird Boy]

Ya know those 3 (or 4..I forget) posts I made in a row? Well...they weren't supposed to be Number Bumbers.. I didn't even think about it at that point..seriously..I stopped caring about post numbers when I got past 10.. (I had to get rid of that Newbie sign! lol) I mean..come on guys... does it really matter if DG or Inque has more than you? I post when I have somthing cool to post, or when I have somthing to say in the RPG..so, when DG and Inque have somthing to say, then that means they must have alot to talk about! (or cuz there mods..heh). Anyway, all I'm saying.. is what's the big deal about big numbers? Sure, I liked having 300+ (ok..I only had 301..but I did have 300+! ) on the old board..hence why I have it in my signature ,but, that doesn't mean I'm gonna post excessivly on this board just to get my post number up!

OK, I don't think I made any sense in what I said above..anyway, I hope I got a tiny point of mine across in it..anyway..

Viva Useless Posts!!!!! So, did anybody get that DreamSNES thing workin'? I did..

I'm not saying I hate useless posts. When there's a thread with an actual conversation and someone throws in somethign that makes no sense and it outta place, that's useless. In a thread like this, it's commonplace, so not useless. Did that make sense?

I ain't wrestling!!! I'll just kind of destroy them with a few well placed a-bombs

Oh and do I get anything????

8) 1 post: Dr Belch, Batboy2000, SJJ. I donno...with the mudpuddle fight, RD reminded the other two about that it wasn't a mudhole but an operating table...and she's the surgeon!!

Really? When was this? And why would I want to disect them???

In another attempt to make this thread seem not useless.....think of this as a chat room thread 'cause we certainly ain't bumping into each other there!!!

[James Harvey]

Not to complain, RedDragon, but your tewxt is sorta difficult to read at times, becuase of the font. Anyway you could tweak it somehow?

lol absolutely not but hey, it IS the point of this thread!

[Salvor]

By the way, how come people are so obsessed with their number of posts nowadays? It didn't use to be an issue on the old boards... now it has become a real contest... and I'm falling behind!

[James Harvey]

I can't figure that out, either. I think its becuase on the old boards you couldn't see your post count unless you clicked on your name, but here it's right there, so people are just become competitive as to not have the lowest number. Of course, there are over fifty people here registered at these TZ boards who have zero posts, so I don't see the big deal.

Oh yes you are RD!! *drags her into the mud!*

...and all of the sudden everybody wanted a prize for being useless! I'd wish that would happen for me at work! Sorry RD..no useless thingie for you. Maybe in some other nomination...

Really? When was this? And why would I want to disect them???

RD...We talked this over last night, but you clearly can't remember. I told you more than once to share the 3 bottles of wine with us instead of sharing them with you, yourself and your ego..gee..some people

edit post; seems like my quotes didn't work out as planned...oh well...

[Maxie Zeus]

Tuesday had come late that week, and it came all the more violently for having to follow Wednesday; it came with girdles loosened and dirndls undone. It was the last Tuesday of the month and it looked to be the last Tuesday for a good long time, such was the tumult of its coming. It looked as though a whole monthful of Tuesdays had elbowed their way into the day, between a bitter yellow sunrise that smelled of almonds, and a lurid sunset that curtained the west like a wreck of rotten tomatoes. It was the Tuesday between Wednesday and Thursday, with all that that entailed.


Oops. This is the "useless" thread and not the "non sequitur" thread, isn't it.

[optimal321]

This is a reply to one way up there that was about us being obsessed w/ post numbers. I agree w/ Bird Boy in that i really stopped caring after i got it to say "member" under my name instead of "newbie." But if i say that i would like more post numbers, it's because it seems to be going a lot slower than on the last boards. With these, everyone came at the same time, but some people have like hundreds and I've got sixty or seventy. It's just a little humbling i guess, after being at the old boards.

[optimal321]

Otherwise, when i post a reply to myself like this, it's either meant as a joke, or because i forgot to say something in my last one. And since this is the useless post, i can just come back and say it, rather than edit it or something.
