  • The 500 rule

    Is it still the rule?



    Seemed like it would never end.

    They probably didn't want a second thread for it. Can't say I blame them.

      I've been busy for the last 24 hours, didn't notice it until now. It happens

      And it was closed "before" you started this thread

        One of the Chiron Chronicle discussion threads over in AC-Fiction went up to about 750 once. Of those, about 450 were made by one person, who used the "Reply With Quote" feature for every post above his.

          Yes, I knew it was closed so I asked now. Didn't want to promote it while it was going

          Some... interesting goings on in there.

            If by "interesting things", you mean "weird, evil, godless abominations", then I agree.

              The circumcize my kid thread was very interesting, someposters posting thoughtful factual things while others just said he must look like his dad so i had them mutilate it .

                There were about 50 interesting and thoughtful posts, and the remaining 700 consisted of posts like these-

                1- "I'm circumcised/not circumcised and I'm OK. Therefore this must be true of humanity in general."

                2- "I spend lots of time looking at other men's tackle and I've noticed...."

                3- "I hate you. You smell."

                    Yeah, Moe, that team sure did suck last night. They just plain sucked! I've seen teams suck before, but they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.

                          Of course, if anyone could make posts really really REALLY quickly, they could get themselves a custom avatar in just one thread...
                          ...oh yeah, and then get permabanned as soon as the mods noticed.
                          The lyrics threads in the OT have frequently been closed when they got above 500 posts. Don't know when the current one is due to close...
                          "Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt Whitman

                            It's the less visited forums that get the post counts above 500.

                            There were three US bashing threads in Civ 3 - Civilizations that were running concurrently. They were also the only threads being posted in at the time. It was like an echo, the same arguments in the three threads at the same time. Some people took it to an extreme and copied/pasted their exact same post from one thread into the other

                            They all got to around 700 posts before they were noticed. Still only one was closed. The other two weren't closed until a week later.

                              Clear Skies,

                              there's more professional; sorry, I mean nooby ways to do that. Register 500 DL's and start a poll thread.
