This is ...

... my 500th post.

Not the most prolific poster, I know, but I like to think I lend a certain "tone" to the proceedings.

stu, you're the master of quality over quantity

Submitted by Heather on Wed, 2004-03-03 15:31.

I second that. Look forward to meeting you at Teenage Kicks; provided I'm not still concussed.

Submitted by Big_Stu on Wed, 2004-03-03 17:31.

Concussion is no excuse for not being at what could well be one of your top 5 local gigs of all time ... but then I am biased ... that's what Dads are for.

And I will be there with my own Heather so feel free to seek me out ... we might be a little late as we have family BBQ to attend first ... but be there we will!

rather a good knock.

stay focussed.

ahaha. indeed. the Mark Richardson of NZM...

I move about as quickly as well ... but I was tidy behind the stumps back when I were young ... keeping the team on their toes ...

Submitted by libra on Wed, 2004-03-03 15:25.

yes, good effort old boy. I feel somewhat humbled but have attempted the same sort of integrity with my own work

Submitted by Big_Stu on Wed, 2004-03-03 18:54.

I'm sure all your comments are well balanced, Libra

Submitted by lcajmo on Wed, 2004-03-03 15:40.

Yep you do..your tone is just as important & appreciated as anyone else on this forum..
Wow..you joined before me but you have managed to stay unscathed..you see when you post too much like someone called Lcajmo..then you are bound to have massive amounts of deadly responses so I commend you deeply.

Hey Big Stu, perhaps you could consider becoming a mentor/role model?

Submitted by Big_Stu on Wed, 2004-03-03 17:33.

Thank you

Submitted by foal30 on Wed, 2004-03-03 19:19.

Mentor/role model... your gear posts are good, now can you describe to an idiot why a 200w valve amp is so much louder than a 200w solidstate?

Submitted by pissmefish on Wed, 2004-03-03 15:47.

This is my 700th post, it would probably be a lot less except for the flurry, post piss.

Submitted by Big_Stu on Wed, 2004-03-03 17:16.

Keeping the cricket analogy going I would suggest that this is a Styris like knock ... well played Mr Fish ...

Submitted by pissmefish on Wed, 2004-03-03 17:54.

Ha, Styris always looks like he's been on ta piss-me-fish.

Submitted by Tiffany on Wed, 2004-03-03 18:25.

this is my 664th post. and i wasted it by announcing it was my 664th post. How disappointing.

:)

Submitted by Aka on Wed, 2004-03-03 19:19.

It never fails to suprise me, how few post some people have made, but seem to have a large impact on the site, you are one of them.. see even more proof that you don't have to be on the list of 25 to be rated as a Top Poster

mutters to self.....
just a wee bit miffed, I am just 3 topics short of my 100, and had planned for my 100th to be called "this is my 100th topic"... so is this a case of great minds, or is it the old fools?

Submitted by rdor on Wed, 2004-03-03 20:14.

This is my 658th, but I don't ussually have much to add or say anymore

Submitted by scr on Wed, 2004-03-03 19:58.

I should have 500 posts by now.

Submitted by Heather on Wed, 2004-03-03 20:38.

Wow, according to my profile, this is my 4001st post.

However, judging by the discrepancy between my profile and the top 25 list, I assume I've written 120 posts that were deleted. And I'll bet every last one of those posts were troll-baiting.

Submitted by Joanna on Wed, 2004-03-03 20:41.

That's a good point. This is apparently my 807th post, but how many more did I make that Heather or Aka deleted on the grounds of common decency?

Submitted by ralphie on Wed, 2004-03-03 21:12.

im at 20 deletions.
and all bar one or a sneaky two were thanks to hedge

big ups hedge!

hee.

Submitted by Aka on Wed, 2004-03-03 22:49.

ha i was called away as I was about to make this point on a different topic...
I was going to do something smart maths wise ...... place on top 25 list take away number of deletions equates to your value as a member.....
so with someone say who is number 14 on the list it would looks like this...
14-140 = negitive 126 value

This of course does not apply to moderators because I suspect we heavly selfedit... like dust has around 60 deleltions

Submitted by Aka on Wed, 2004-03-03 23:00.

//but how many more did I make that Heather or Aka deleted on the grounds of common decency?

17, but I'm an evil old prude, ask anyone.

Submitted by samflux on Wed, 2004-03-03 23:02.

dammit - i got 5 deletions... arggg.. and im a nice boy... wish i could see what 5 got deleted.... actually i do know of one

Submitted by christianity on Wed, 2004-03-03 23:07.

who are the moderators?

Submitted by rdor on Wed, 2004-03-03 23:20.

Heather, Teina, I think maybe Dust - what a bunch of retards, ha er.

Submitted by jimi on Wed, 2004-03-03 23:22.

Hmmm, 9 posts deleted, can't remember that. Maybe *they* brainwashed me. Interestingly I've also had a topic deleted, wonder what the hell that was.

Submitted by samflux on Wed, 2004-03-03 23:22.

joe for sure ... and maybe velocity

Submitted by dust on Wed, 2004-03-03 23:33.

pft delete! delete, there is no delete. only premature archiving.

I can still sneak into the dirty little secret room and read the filth. many drunken episodes in there.

Submitted by Aka on Wed, 2004-03-03 23:36.

deletions aren't alway because you posted rubbish. some may have been double posts.

Submitted by Aka on Wed, 2004-03-03 23:43.

oo00oo dust you could start chargeing people so we could come and smurk...... you know like a freak show.
or black mail people so they could never be read.

Submitted by dust on Wed, 2004-03-03 23:47.

um... *snap*

Submitted by christianity on Wed, 2004-03-03 23:53.

Heather, Joe, Dust, Teina and maybe Velocity...

interesting
i knew Dust was one so didn't add him to my top five
now i'll have to remove Heather also...

anymore?

Submitted by christianity on Wed, 2004-03-03 23:55.

what about AKA?

Submitted by Aka on Thu, 2004-03-04 00:07.

yup.

Submitted by Joanna on Thu, 2004-03-04 00:11.

SEVENTEEN?

Good lord! I must wash my mouth out with turpentine, I think. Or scrub my fingers with it. Probably both.

Submitted by christianity on Thu, 2004-03-04 00:14.

so AKA if you're a moderator
how come you're using an old coal powered IBM?
don't they pay you?

where do you find all this deletion info?

Submitted by Aka on Thu, 2004-03-04 00:27.

pay? like with money? gee you really don't have a handle on the way the site works do you?
Dust and Teina Run this site on love and the rest of us help out in what ever way we can.

As for my coal fired IBM, my flash wizzo bizzo comp blew it's monitor and I haven't gotten round to swapping it out yet.. in a lot of ways I am really enjoying being back on Win 95, but the speed will get on my nerves soon enough.

Submitted by Jon Jr. on Thu, 2004-03-04 04:09.

//SEVENTEEN?

//Good lord! I must wash my mouth out with turpentine, I think. Or scrub my fingers with it. Probably both.

*snap* maybe you could pass me the bottle when you're done. I seem to remember a few went missing during the baiting of the unusual eye.

Submitted by Joanna on Thu, 2004-03-04 15:23.

Here's a wire scrubbing brush too, Pissme. Hopefully that'll do the job.

Submitted by pissmefish on Thu, 2004-03-04 17:25.

Thanks Joanna but I took care of it already.

*Pissmetongue*

Submitted by Joanna on Thu, 2004-03-04 17:26.

Wow, you must be pretty flexible then. I bet that comes in handy on the long lonely nights.

Submitted by pissmefish on Thu, 2004-03-04 17:35.

you should see me when I'm slow dancing with myself, man I got all the moves.

Submitted by grimmybug on Thu, 2004-03-04 18:44.

18 deletions, but that was probably all from one or two threads, the monkey nibbles one springs to mind, i guess dust / teina wanted to keep that one to themselves ;)

i'm surprised there aren't more, to be honest!

Submitted by dust on Thu, 2004-03-04 19:02.

fwiw: myself teina or joe hardly ever delete posts. in fact less than 5 posts were deleted in the first 3.5 years of NZM.

our time is generally more technical, editorial or admin oriented.

there are between 5-10 moderators at any given time that moderate the forums.
