You know, I just realised that I've never seen a poster on General that has reached 10,000 posts...surely they are out there? What happens to the old NSers? Are they deleted a la Logan Run after 9,999 posts?

Yeah just like Children of the Corn.

Yup. It's one of the duties of the mods. WHy do you think they don't want us electing our own? no one we elect is going to be able to stomach that.

hey I hope to get there one day only 9,400 to go - No problem ;)

I wonder if 9,999 is just the threshold of tolerance...or attentions span achievable for the General forum?

No there are at least a few posters past 10,000. I find that many of the more regular and more serious and funnier posters frequent the Nationstates forum more than the General forum (Though perhaps that assessment's just part my anti-general).

As cute as the idea is--that players get the forum axe at 9,999--I've heard much better conspiracy theories.

Hmmm...the idea hadn't yet evolved into a theory, per se.....

I have to admit, I came for the game, but I stay for the General forum...sadly I will one day see the 9,999 mark entirely posted here.

Unfortunately, most of the megaspammers have not been able to the relatively recent low spam threshold we've been working under lately.

I miss some of them badly. Parratoga and NorthEastern Europe come to mind. They were in a running battle for #1 and #2 about a year abot. Each with over 14,000 posts. They were fun people.

NEE would post about anything. His dinner. Anything. And Parra was the sexiest racist in history. :(

Incertonia had over 10,000 before he left.

Let's not forget about Spoffin. He has over 10,000 as well.

Ah, yes. Spoffin. :(

I think that we have a shortage of them now, cause all of the oldies left along with forum 7

Give me a few months, I'm working on it as we speak. 10000? Pah, I'm going all the way to 20000!

I think that we have a shortage of them now, cause all of the oldies left along with forum 7

Do you really think that had much to do with them leaving?

It certainly wasn't the same after Forum 7, though. A true NS legend given life, it was.

yeah, I think that a lot, if not most of the people from F7 would have gone on to get really large postcounts, not just from spam either. By deleting forum 7, they pretty much completely lost around atleast 20 potential mass spammers. Me, TAR, MD etc...

we all shifted off to the SSA board, and started drifting off, before the server got fried when we all just dissipated. Some to paradise beach, some just dissapeard

So anyway, tahts why we dont have as many mass posters now.

I have 10,000 posts between this nation and my old one

North-Eastern Europe did it, on the old forums no less (meaning he couldn't spam up a shitstorm in the jolt spam forums) although the forum rules were a lot more lax back then, and you wouldn't have out of control mods busting up threads, clubing people, smashing things up and throwing people out.

God, I remember Forum 7. Where I learnt all about post pyramids and temples to the mods. Even tried building my own - it collapsed in an earthquake, burnt down then was washed away in a flood. Gave up after that.

This really brings back the memories.

what ever became of the pink pony?

I miss Berklyvania who was extremely funny and witty. Come back Berk!!!!

Another good one who is missing is Incertonia. He never was the same after losing a bet, which required him to declare that he had been converted to the dreaded right wing cause. Then he just disappeared.

I should have guessed....duh!!

lol, i didn't really think it was that difficult

North-Easten Europe had well over 10 000 and he was mostly on General.

Unfortunately he left NS.

when a NSer gets old they go away to live on a nice farm where there are plenty of noobs for them to chase and lovely patches of sun to tan their palid flesh.

Hack, Automagfreek, Spoffin, they've all got 10k+
Sdaeriji and Steel Butterfly are close.

I haven't seen Klonor lately. I think he was over 10k of awful close to it.

I'm scared. Am I going to have to leave NationStates soon?

Automagfreek posts here sometimes.

Aren't they ground up to make nourishing milkshakes for newbies?

Holy crap, I have more posts than Bottle.

Must be a "roll-over" problem. Just like an odometer, someone set up the display for four digits. Good thing we aren't counting in binary, or I'd be finishing my eighth post.

not that hard to do...i actually don't have an average daily post count that is particularly high, so lots of people pass me in post count. i've just been lurking about NS for upwards of two years.

Yeah, you celebrated your two year anniversary a week ago, same day as my birthday.

I'll have my two year anniversary in about a month.

Thanks!

I bet Myrth will come in here and call us both young whippersnappers or something. Whenever I talk about how long I've been posting on NS, he comes in and does that.

hehe, wouldn't surprise me. though i must say it's a bit sad to realize how few people are still around from when i started...so many folks who i thought would be fellow General lurkers forever...*sigh*

*hugs bottle*
I'm sorry (from a non oldie)

it wouldn't normally bug me, but there were some really fun personalities that i would like to see around again...Paratoga, Beeker, even Inquisitors and Marathon were fun in their own way. it's mostly a case of wishing i could see what some of the new players would think of those old players; sort of like how you want to introduce new college friends to people you knew in high school, because it could be so much fun to have them in the same room together.

They get put in a special blender after which they are drunk by the mods merrily.

Yeah....

Now I'm sad and nostalgic.....

:(

Just a few hundred gazillion million more posts to go!

(EDIT: Or just a bit more than 1700 :D)

Those who pass the great 10,000 without the taint of rulebreaking go forth with the guidance of the blessed Mods on the path of that most divine of nations, The Borderlands of Maxtopia, and shall arise with him when he returns in glory!

Either that or their postcount merely starts showing 5 digits. One or the other.

That sounds like fun. The second one, not the first.

It's sort of different for someone to pass 10,000 on the Jolt forums than it was back on the old forums. I mean, I could go down to the Jolt spam forum and bump up my post count 1,000 or more in a day. It doesn't have the same prestige anymore.

hmm i better stop my endless tags of topics that i never get around to reading then!

EDIT: Doh one more closer to death!

I'm the oldest one on here.

Since Dec 2002

Someday, Maxtopia will rise and we will all bow to him, and maybe then, and only then, Forum 7 will return. How I miss it.

Actually being able to post 10,000 posts on that server was the equivelant of competing in the Olympics.

What's it like on the other side?

From observation, most 10k+ posters either fade away (Catholic Europe) or self destruct/commit "suicide by mod".
