As of this moment we're only 1,444 posts away from NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND POSTS on Legion World.

Will we get there by or before the big anniversary on March 12?

When will it happen?

Only 1,444 in two days?
EVERYBODY GET TO POSTING!!!

Just 11 minutes later we're 1,429 away.

Wow... think we should start planning the 1 mil milestone celebration now?

And here I thought you and Quis could handle that alone!

ONE THOUSAND FUMETTIS

The rest devoted to Do Garl and Englen like hot sandwiches?

In 2 days? Bro, I'm good but I'm not THAT good

And my Time Trapper powers haven't totally emerged yet... I lost them when I had my purple robe washed!

Actually, I figured Ibby would have it covered even without a wingman!

Even if I don't sleep these two days, I will eventually run out of posts to reply to!

1,329 posts to go...

Ah, this brings back memories of me going for Trapper Status. Post whore war threads. Amazing what you can do on super mega industrial vitamins and 5 hour energy drinks.

Getting there..

Invisible Brainiac has created 5 percent of all the posts in Legion World so far.

Quislet is close behind!



I remember my Trapper run... staying up late, waiting for people to post so I could respond...

Just remember it is all for the good of the website. It makes the site look bigger.

Quislet, Esq. has created 4.85 percent of Legion World posts so far.

Cool.

I wonder when we will get our first Miracle Machiner.

I remember looking at the post count just before I joined, so it was a factor.It was a week after I joined I noticed the number of members and another week before I realised everyone was a Quis or Ibby alt.I'm in denial about being an alt myself.

Actually, all the other alts are EDE's.

Quis and I are too busy padding our post counts to give precious posts to alts.

We have done more than our share. You need to start pulling your own weight.

It's not a two-man job!

How dare you insinuate that pulling my weight is more than a two man job!

I shall see you on the Dieter's Support thread sirrah! Strops off in huff....pauses for a well earned biscuit...before some more stropping...

It was our last resort at motivating you thothy

As if I need motivationnnnnzzzzzzz....snore....snort...zzzzzzzz..

1,159 posts to go...

I just want to point out that my whole "Guess Who I Want to Start a Thread About" was massively ahead of its time, as evidenced by the fact that it's basically the same concept as the highly successful "Thinking of a Legion Character Game"!

EDE's postings will be highly studied 1000 years in the future for their foresight and profundity

Whew! I was worried that civilisation would have collapsed and that the planet of the apes would be using my posts as an example of where it all went wrong:-)

Those apes could still be studying EDE's posts AND yours...

Civil War beckons!

EDEApes vs thothatans for the future of ...the World!

Would you rather live in EDEApia or Thothatania? Tough question.

Well, you might think it's a tough question. But the answer is EDEApia as I like to travel...no wait! wait! no, I'm not a traitor to Thothatania! I'm not...Gaah!*

*Obviously the person dishing out the punishment** wrote "Gaah!"*** It's not as though thoth was allowed back to type it. That would have been silly.

**It is unknown what mysterious Thothatanian punishment involves dishes. The booming restaurant trade and the tidy chore free ziggurats both offer tantalising hints. Obviously, this is still the person who dished out the punishment typing this. I know what's in the punishment, of course, but I'm trying to make it curious. It's all part of me wanting to branch out into travel writing. One day, I hope to go to EDEApia...No wait, wait.. I'm not a traitor... I'm not... Yoiks!

*** Hi. Punishment Declaration Editor here. Administration is everything in Thothotania. Having come up with writing, we're jolly well going to jot everything down. Unfortunately, words are at a premium here. All the good exclamations are out of the library at the moment, so I had to settle for "Yoiks!" Not only that, but "Gaah" is clearly misspelled, but I can't correct it because the official for corrections is on holiday. Honestly, it's a wonder anything gets done around here. Those EDEApians look happier in their trees than we...no, wait I'm not a traitor, I'm not...Boing!

Somebody REALLY wants to make the 900,000 post mark on anniversary day...

1,033 posts to go...

Max I can do per day is probably 50.

We need 20 more people, people!

1,000 posts to go...

1,000 posts over the next half day or so? Can we do it?

Yes we can!

This is one time when post whoring is acceptable!!

Maybe over the anniversary weekend.

I thought each was deserving of it's own special place in the postey-verse

Oh it's just the 900k we're going for and not the million? Oh well, one post at a time...

Where are all the Carggian Legion Worlders? We need their wit, their perspective, but mainly all of their posts!

Did someone mention Alts?

Yay! We're saved!

Saved from what? A dirty floor? An overfull trash can? What kind of mess am I supposed to be cleaning up?

Poop Lagoons!

Lagoons you say?

Um...Abin, there's also the matter of cleaning Btgzl's planetary posterior.

See this page of the thread linked to below:


http://www.legionworld.net/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=12420&page=3

Surely even the Creature has to draw the line at poop lagoons, Kappa? I mean, I know the sequel was pants but are things that tough?

If you think the first sequel was pants, the second one was even more bonkers!

Leaking from Pantaloons?

Alas, I fear I need the wisdom and guidance of my "Super-Kewl Mentor ...of Space" to handle such a Calamitous Disaster!

So I'll just go and wipe BZGTL's Butt with a sad and heavy heart.

(That just doesn't sound right, does it?)

Abin, LOL



If that's wrong, I don't want to be right.

99 Red Poop Lagoons!

99 Luft Scheib...darn, I don't know what "lagoons" is in German.

Paging He Who Wanders, paging He Who Wanders.

I laughed so hard i nearly shat kine!

This would all be more humorous if it didn't threaten to become my actual life pretty soon.

Seriously. One more new "miracle" medication and I'll be ready to play Abe Vigoda's role in the all-new Drag King version of "Barney Miller."

850 posts to go...

True, I will be going back to these posts often to prove why Thothatania is a baaaaaad idea

Poop Lagoon's and Bgtzl's butt must appear in the LMB tag team thread! This I declare!

Only 750 left to go!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~|\~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sharky's here!!

^I've missed this!

I miss all of y'all!

Hey, we know you've been (happily) busy with your family life, Sharky! We'll always love you and be here for when you can find some time!

Sharky!

E F... E F... E F E F E F E F E F E F D# D C# C# D D# !

I remember when Sharky was my biggest fanboy!

Yep. I've tried having my male alts. flirt with other shark guys on other boards, but it's just not the same.

Eeeek!

*jumps out of the pool*

Just like old times in the Security Office eh Sharky?

Thanks Pal!

Family life is good.... I now know all the words to virtually any song in a Disney princess movie... that's good right?

The best! Unfortunately, my boys won't let me sing any to THEM!

I'm not allowed to sing half the time anyway... "No Papa sing Let it Go"

640 posts to go...

Play it, Mr. Piano Man!

*imagines Lardy and Sharky singing Let It Go together*

Aw, I love Disney.

Is that the Jaws theme? Ithought Ex was just THAT drunk!

Love is an open door...

Took me several minutes to figure it out... I thought it was code for something... <splash>

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!

Today, in addition to being LMB founding day, is also my daughter's birthday...

"And at last I see the light... and it's like the fog has lifted..." -- makes me cry every time

Happy birthday, SharkLass!

Happy birthday, Sharklass!

To the young lady Sharky!

Thanks, y'all!

And alas I am off to bed... got the family coming over tomorrow for princess cake and presents... and many of the presents will involve princesses, I'm sure... my daughter's life revolves largely around princesses... she would love to be a princess...

Guess that's what happens when your parents are two queens...

That was for Lash -- miss you buddy! More than words can express...

to Lash!

To Lash!

and to loving queens, and good dads, and every girl getting to be a Disney princess at least once in her life!

Belated Happy Birthday, Princess Shark Lass!!

I kinda wish I had a little girl myself. Love my boys to death, though, and can't imagine a third kid to take care of...

It does take a lot of work, I imagine. But very rewarding it is

To Lash!

And to all of you too, you LMB mofos! I love you guys and I need another 16 years minimum. When I get sad about not having Lash or Dev or Vee or others to look forward to talking to, I need to know I'll have you all still posting and LMBing. I know for a fact it's what Lash wanted.

Beautifully put, Cobie.

To Lash.

Indeed!

To the LMB, the best people in the world, a nice, safe haven to not only be ourselves, but to show the world how such a diverse group of people can stand united.

Here, here!

Oh, and another toast as we only need 503 posts to make the 900,000!

You got it from here, right, Ibster?

everyone!

Cheers, He Who.

I just hope nobodies going to try and put 503 bottles of beer on the wall.

502 now *hic*

To Lash! And to every one of you for making LW what it is. A Legion of Friends.

This thread has certainly contributed many fine, quality posts to the count! But I'm cheating by looking at the big count on the main page, Lardster

Cheers to all Legion World friends! Happy Anniversary!

And you all knocked out a bunch of posts last night. Only 356 to go...

Good work people. Gives little salute while noticing that's one less to go

The power of teamwork

I posted more (around 80 posts) yesterday than I have in a coon's age!

You and me both Lardy!

I was surprised at how many I posted too! What a fun anniversary posting spree that was!

Yeah, you win, LL!

Just 111 posts to go...

Down from 1,444 just about 5 days ago!

Keep up the good work, folks!

Only 34 posts to go...

I expect we'll have hit the big 900,000 before I get home tonight.

LT, I expect that you will research this entirely and be able to tell us exactly which post is/was the 900,000th!

<hopes it was the "sounds phallic" post I just made in the "weird dreams" thread >

When do you get home? I'd hate to be mucking around not posting and you come through the Legion World door with the goal not reached. And worse, he's brought the vicar home for tea! Gah! Madcap sitcom posting abounds!

I'd watch that sitcom.

A few posts too early, sadly, Lardy

I'm not sure....it seems the post counter takes a while to update, so....

I was just thinking the same thing. It isn't updating very quick at all.

Yeah, I just realized that after checking... When I logged on we were 6 posts to go, but after making at least 6 posts, no movement.

So it could be! A phallic 900,000th post, yay!

Gosh, I hope we didn't break the counter!

I know, right? <hurls ashtray>

*glares angrily at post counter*

You have one job!

If it's anyone's fault it's probably mine for coming back. The board doesn't know how to handle it.

And just like that we're 16 posts over. Way to go everyone!

It fainted from sheer joy!

I think that would be entirely appropriate! Sadly, it's probably from the Inane One-word posts thread...

But does the 900k post signal...Doom?!

As they wait anxiously, which one of the Legion Worlders will be forced to play an innovative, but dated, FPS?

*glares at inane one-word posts thread*

Be more significant!!!

If the counter is unreliable, is there any way we can figure out which post was the 900,000th?

The counter updated! 900,016 posts, yay!

There are many worlds and somewhere in the multiverse there's a 900k post for all of us.

It's shot past it now...

I find that vaguely phallic, btw.

There probably is a way on the server but honestly that knowledge fled my brain a long time ago.

I was trying to see as well, but I'm not sure. We can check individual members' posting history, but doesn't seem as though we can see a list of all posts on the board in chronological order.

Active Topics only tells us which threads have most recently been posted to, but not how many posts each...

I thought so too when I posted it

I blame Ibby!

Actually looking at the code we are only (as of my last post here) at #891,308. A few phantom/deleted posts seem to still be counting towards the total on the main page.

I choose to retcon this statement out of existence....

Well, it's not my fault that I make people think of phalluses!

It's a mystery* which makes Ibby, Lardy and Lightning Lad the LW espionage squad until it's solved. I'd join too but alas someone has to write up the adventure, in complete safety, for The Strand.



*not the Toyah song from the '80s.

But if you recounted, iB would no longer be the top toaster

*ssssh*, don't spoil my secret



Will you join if we give you a Scooby snack?

Or a thothy snack, though I'll be darned if I know the difference.

Surely if there's a board that's going to be accepting phantom posts from Bgtzl as legitimate, it's us

I'll give the rest of the squad a hint. Click on one of the links in the Time-Scope then look at the URL. That will give you the actual post number of the post you're going to.

Oh... thanks LL.

Man, we have a LOT of deleted posts.

(those can't all be my deleted accidental double posts! maybe just 80% of those... :p)

I'm glad this trial run of getting to 900k posts is over. It's good practice for when we get to the real thing

Deleted posts, forums, threads, etc. Once it is recorded that number is hard-coded. But think about it. That's less than 1% of our posts deleted. Not too bad a record me thinks.

I refuse to believe we haven't really hit 900,000 posts because <phallic reference>!

Indeed! Besides, once the post is in, the memory of it will linger even after you remove it.

So we should still be celebrating. Yay!

My "Only 34 posts to go" post was #891,242. But I hadn't counted my own post, so there were actually only 33 to go after that.

That makes post #891,275 the targeted Post 900,000.

And that post was in...

Spaceopoly...

Teen Titans Trivia II...

Well, at least this can easily be interpreted as a phallic reference!

There are now 900089 posts

And it looks like thothy will keep having his way with us until we reach the Extant 900,000.

(...only 8,636 posts to go...)

That was fast!

Don't forget "Gone"s temper tantrum when he left... :rolleyes:

It's all HIS fault!
