A random observation...
« on: November 15, 2005, 06:57:57 pm »
I just realized I'm a creepy forum stalker. I sit on the forums almost constantly. I mean, look at this: on the forums stats page, under most time online: morgul 18h 53m. Yeah, I spend waaaaay too much time online.

That's not a bad idea - we have several statistics, and we can code up others as the need arises. We could likely just have a thing on the main board area that shows records - e.g., most posts total, most posts in a day, most time online, lurker award (fewest posts over the most time online), etc. I'm sure we could set it up where it automatically disqualifies at least forum admins and / or mods, since they're going to be (or should be) the most active on the forums anyways.

Yikes . . .

Forum stalkers are the bane of mass posters like me - I like to see my name under EVERY "last post" section, and then one of you jackasses posts and I just HAVE to respond.  ;)

Bastard!!  There, now I've posted my reply.  :)

Nah, I hate leaving posts that have nothing intelligent to say (i.e. spam).

But yeah, that's my tactic - log on, and post til no one replies.

PRoblem is, you keep posting, and I'll keep posting... and neither of us will get anything useful done.


Except increasing our post count.

Damn you.  Ah well, I will restrain myself from doing to much competitive posting.

Ah, who am I kidding?  We'll see whose post count goes higher (you use the admin panel to mess with it and I swear you'll wish you'd never been born).   ;)

Actually I say we come up with several awards.  The stalker one would go to morgul too quickly.

I could get the Spammer award.

I guess I'm the only loser with no life, a laptops, and a wireless connection in most of the places he goes. It's not my fault the first tab I open in firefox is these forums, and then the GoRC forums. Sheesh. :P
