Not that anything is going to change, of course, but if we keep talking about it we might all make deity by the time this thread gets locked.

13 or so, with a few more just about to arrive.

Hmm ... I've just realised I'm 78th on the post-count list. What a sad little life I lead....

If demigod was at 6000, then that would have to mean deity would be at 12000. Or is that too literal?

I know it's a horribly newbie question, but how are the statistics on your profile page calculated? I'd like to think that the attack and defence stats depended upon the general attitude of your posts (which is why I seem to have swung from having a defence of 4 to an attack of 7 following a slight distribution of scorn in OT), and that the movement depends upon how many different forums you post in, but I've got a feeling that this is not the case. Shame though. I'll check my stats again after this and edit if necessary.

Oh crap, it's still on the first page. Also Ming informs me he already intercepted one.

What do we do? Mass cover-up, new round of +1's, or just use the old votes?

[Asmodean]

I say use the old votes, since this is not a new thread on the subject, but effectively a threadjack.

It can't count if it's not a new thread.

[DrSpike]

I think we counted a query in an unrelated thread before. Since the thread with the votes is still on the first page though, I think the most reasonable response is to turn a blind eye.

[Asmodean]

BTW, Spikey: If we make the existing votes count now, who wins?

I think Nikolai had the earliest vote, but as I said, I think the competition is still alive.

For it to be official... the old thread has to be off the first page... Ming's rule

[duke o' york]

What the hell are you all on about?
Some kind of spam contest I'll wager.

[Asmodean]

Nah....it's just that every so often the question of post stats is asked. We kinda like to guess when it'll happen next.

The next newest thread on the subject is here:

Run a search for threads containing the words "post stats" in this forum and you'll see what's going on.

Agreed.

How dare you malign the venerated institution of the post stats challenge.

FP: Beat you to it by three seconds
