Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

Fyron, please post your 5000th post in this thread if you can.

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

5000th post? Eh? I haven't even really payed any attention to my post count since becoming ruler of the world. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

Hmm... that was my 5000th post. How odd...

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah, how amazing, with those short repetive/empty/spamming Posts.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

Yes, and about 30 of them per topic. He is a monster!

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

Wow...and with your 5000, I add my first after lurking for a while...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Just wait until you hit 5000! Fyron will be at 12000 by then probably! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
I'm just looking forward to 2000. It'll take me a couple weeks though.

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

Wow.

Hey Fyron, there is this thing called "outside," or "outdoors" where there is no monitor and keyboard. Perhaps you have heard of it?
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I'm astounded... Seriously, how would you classify yourself as far as outdoor activities? I mean, we're all geeks in here to a certain extent... so I'm not going there. But are you like one of those guys on the X-Files that lives in an underground secret location and has a computer strapped to them? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

Depends how long it's over. I guess I have 10K Posts in Total Annihilation forums over 5 years, when you average it out that's only ~6 a day.

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I think Fyrons been doing it for about 2 years now, IIRC. That averages out around 7 Posts a day.

I've been posting just over a year and mine averages around 4.5 Posts per day.

Edit: Just a thought though. If they reset Fyrons post count to 0 and I stayed where I'm at. Knowing him, he'd still probably beat me to 5000 again. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I always thought of Fyron as a sentient Computer. Some where between The AI we all dream of and Holly off red dwarf http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

If he is though, what does FYRON actually stand for? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

I don't spend that much time here most days, really. I just type quickly, so I get lots of Posts in a short time frame. But really, post counts don't matter that much.

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Let me tell you, Fyron is one of the most interesting characters I have found Online. He is very helpfull and nice when he wants, but always manage to post incredibly totalitarian Posts. You can't accuse him of trolling cause he is consistent with his opinions, thus proving that he really believe what he post, but at the same time he have a tendency of repeatily posting his opinions in a way that doesn't leave any room for discussions or friendly disagrement, some sort self-rightiouness that seems to be encased in very strong beliefs, which of course for the people that don't know him and don't know his extensive contribution to this community might look like his trying deliberately to piss people off.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Happy 5000th day, Fyron!

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

Heh. He has 5000 and I am slowly working towards 200.

2000 to 2003 - 186 Posts...

Lets not even bother trying to figure out what fractional number that is a day. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

Well if we keep up with these poitnless threads, then everyone can get 5000! Of course, I might have 50,000 then, but its all a matter of scale. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Aloofi:
That is an interesting theory. I have been told that by a few others recently. I shall have to look further into this. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

Yes, how amazing! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

You mean that if I keep posting things like this, I'll eventually have tons of Posts just like you? Except that you'll still have 5 or 6 times as many? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

This forum will probably be shut down before I hit 5000 Posts. And I'll have just purchased SELX. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

Hey... at least 4000 of my Posts are useful Posts, not pointless ones like this.

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hmm... I would have to argue a bit with you there. Of the 1000 I've read, I would only consider about 20 of them useful. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

5000 is a lot of Posts! Are there no more promotions beyond Ruler of the World?

Most of Fyron's Posts are useful. He is often the first person to answer when somebody has a question!

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

Not another one of those "yeah for Fyron" threads.... the Last one was pointless enough. 2 is worse...

I wonder if he has a laptop hooked up to a wireless LAN at home? He can then sit outside with a beer and post away. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well since I am not 21 yet, that is kinda illegal. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif A laptop would be nice though. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

He has a new project now, so the rest of you have a small window of opportunity to catch up.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

SJ has more Posts than I do. I think he is more deserving of that title than me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

While I do have more total, I have been registered here longer, and hardly claim to be "blabby".

Don't worry about me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

Fyron will probably overtake SJ in number of Posts soon...

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

5000 Posts is a lot of yak yak yak. Do you guys talk on the phone a lot too?

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

the score, as of now:)
SJ: 5267, feb. 15 2001
IF: 5030, july 24 2001
5 months later, out of maybe ave. 23? SJ gets blabbermouth second class:)

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

No, I don't talk on the phone much at all.

Most of my (and SJ's) Posts are very helpful, informative Posts in repsonse to questions people answer. There are many people here more "blabby" than we are. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

SJ:
I don't claim to be "blabby". That was someone else accusing me of that.

In Canada, we are adults at 18 years of age.

Maybe some "sub-adults" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif of California are not as mature?

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

We are legally adults at 18 here as well. Just can't drink till we are 21. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

No Tbontob, adult and drinking age are not the same thing. 18 is the age you are legally an adult. You are old enough to be drafted, but not old enough to have a drink to drown out the misery of such an event. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

that's drink in a public place...

It is legal for you to drink at home with an adult.

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, I know. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hell no! Don't even go there. Get caught giving alcohol to minors, even the ones that belong to
you, and you get to pay some lawyers.

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

The question of drinking age is rather interesting.

In my parents house, we were permitted to have a drink whenever we wanted.

The interesting thing was that out of a family of 8 (6 children), no one took advantage of it.

I soon learned this was not shared by most of my peers.

Whenever I brought friends home and they saw the bar with the 300+ different bottles of liquor openly displayed, their eyes would light up.

When I was about 14 years old and not realizing the problems some people have with liquor. I asked if they wanted a drink.

It surprised me when all of them literally tossed back the drink, not even bothering to taste it and then looked at me expectantly.

Still not realizing the problem, I asked if they wanted another. To which the response was a unanimous "Yes!"

Again the drink was tossed back and the expectant look.

Only then did I realized my friends had a problem with liquor and stated "Bars closed."

IMO, there isn't a age when people are able to handle liquor better than another age.

18 or 21 are arbitrary ages used in an attempt to provide some protection to our youth.

It would be "contributing to the delinquency of minors."

I had my first "public" drink at the age of 13.

I was a big, strapping, muscular guy and looked somewhat older than 13.

Our family had taken a trip to Fargo, North Dakota, USA.

My parents, older sister and I went to a country bar (with sawdust on the floor), where I had a Hamm's draft.

I didn't like beer then, but I did like the experience.

Most 13 year olds want to be accepted as grown up and I was no exception.

My dad was taking a bit of a risk. But even if he was charged and convicted, he would only have a criminal record in the US.

At the time, a criminal record outside of Canada was only minimally pertinent to Canadian authorities in Canada.
