Just wonder if it is for real this time.
sanderino is number 500 if so.
-
I'm pretty sure I saw sanderino post a spam. So I don't think so.
-
Nope, you jumped the gun again. Though we're much closer then last time.
-
Either Tage has been slacking off or it's for real this time, with the current standings at 502 members.
-
there were at least 3 spambots added to the list yesterday. They probably haven't been removed yet.
-
After deleting obvious spambots this morning, we're currently at 501 members. Kirjath was number 500.
-
Hey awesome! I convinced him to register yesterday. I'll have to tell him.
What did he win again? A smackdown?
-
No, we give those away for free.
They're kinda like party favors.
-
Sorry to dissapoint, but Tage has missed a few. I found a bunch just on one page.

I only go through and delete obvious ones, but thanks for the research. We are indeed under 500 again.
-
No problem. I live to crush the hopes and dreams of those that started this thread.
-
/me holds up his hand.
I think that was me.

*Faster injects a fatal amount of rabies into FMJ for plagerizing his original thread in Everything Else
-
Ahhahaha. That's why I did it. I wanted to be first this time. :)
IT's ok. I lost too.
-
*quietly pokes his head in*
So, AM I number 500? I really don't care one way or the other, but it'd be interesting to know.
-
You were. But then Tage deleted more spambots. So now you're not.
Is that quote from Much Ado? It sounds familiar.
Edit: Googled and no, it's not. I was never any good at spot quotes. I must have read that poem at some point though.
-
Woo hoo! I was special for a few moments!
The quote is from William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of King Richard The Third". I really like the monologue at the beginning. Though I was very tempted to throw another different quote in there that very few people would recognize.
You are
What you do
When it counts.
Find the book that goes with that quote and you will have one of the best Sci-Fi books ever.
-
It should also be noted that one of the accounts is the account we used a year ago when Wizards "bought us out." A staff member was fired then too.
-
I'm getting tired of asking, so is it for real this time? If it is, then burn the new member at the stake for taking so long, and if it isn't then burn all those guys who only posted once.
-
Well, if it is, then you guys will be burning him without The Master of Newbie Smackdown, because the newest member happens to be a friend of mine.
-
I was actually talking about member number 500 which right now happens to be Valintino or something like that, so you can still help with the burning :)
-
Not for real again, I know of 5 bots that registered last week or so.
Anyone with mail.ru in our system is a spammer/bot.
Found a few more farther back in the memberlist

So there's 7 for you. But we're getting closer.
-
ugg no. We can't have our 500th member be someone who's allready been banned on the forum twice.
-
well, then we erase him. We've got two others.

-
500 now, is it for real?
Whoops! I guess I didn't look.
-
Well if it isn't then Sprigg better catch up on his banning; 635 is not exactly less than 500.
-
wow, that is a lot of people.
