I honestly do not understand how you can make posts that long in so little time. I usually have trouble getting a single paragraph, because I like to summarize everything.
Ha ha!
Well, it kinda helps when you can type 100+ WPM.
It also helps when you can't sleep because you're all naturally wired for no particular reason in the middle of the night and no one else is posting. You just swoop in and reply to all of your usual hangouts on the forum. I have no problem with summarizing versus... well, rambling, because I do either easily, and I tend to ramble by default. But I think you'll find that many of the posts in that picture weren't all that long, really. Especially the ones that weren't multi-quote replies (IOW, most of the single page newbie question threads, which is mostly what I was replying to earlier this morning).
Anyway, the whole swooping in thing... I USUALLY just do that with the usual threads (the long list threads mainly). In this case, however, I also replied to TONS of newbie question threads. From basically April 2004 to April 2005, I don't feel I was doing enough of that, like I used to do back in the good ol' days (2003), so... I'm trying to fix that now. :::nods:::
Oh, and BTW, I used to spam up the Wi/Ht? "last poster" column quite often back in those same good ol' days. I just don't often have it in me anymore. Still, today was a nice blast from the past. :::nod-nod:::

Yeah, but i think bila is more 1337 tham since he has worked for years to get that amount of VP, and i was just lucky.
Well of course. Also, only 3 people have hit-or-passed 13.37 VP, whereas 1337 people have hit-or-passed 1337th in exp ranking (well, a lot more, of course, but I mean currently #;-}>).

Really? i may change for good to AkoniteThill, it was just a trial period before.
I like the look of AkoniteThill as well... it's a bit long, but it's HAWT.... though your old (and now current) name is fine, too. I really don't know the story/origin of either, though. Could you give me a little info about each name? That might help me and others comment better on which is better, if you do want some more input to help you make up your miind.

Someone please send us an old functional PS1 or PSOne that you don't want anymore, PLEASE? ;_;
I would but i think the postage fee would be more that the system is worth : P
I'd pay for the shipping if you lived in North America, but of course that's the problem and the reason you said the above... DAMNED ATLANTIC OCEAN! #;-}>
I've got a treat for EVERYONE, though. I made a nifty pic!
I too was shoked by your spammy ways when i logged on today and saw the wi/ht topics flooded by posts by you.
Heh heh. Well, even though I keep describing my posting this morning as spam/spammy in both words and in my pic, it's not really spam, of course. As Mazza pointed out, my posts are superlong considering how quickly they're posted on this particular day. #;-}>
Sorry if the shock was negative. ;_;
...
In more positive news, I'm up to 2213 saves, and expecting 2 or 3 more once the UJ movies clear. I won't be on the portal until afternoon/evening, so I'll be getting the last half-dozen or so saves during NG's primetime. I gotta be careful not to overshoot, though.
I will definitely be back in here, posting (albeit with gfoxclock, not gfoxcook, so hopefully no relative newcomers get confused... heh)... and alerting anyone who wants to see something that has never happened before on NG and probably will NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.
The alignment of teh planets... 22222 and 33333 combine and form.... 55555! (gasp)
Oh, and also, I'm currently 0.0002 VP behind dl_Monk (who has stopped depositing for the past month+... so I pass him as soon as I next deposit after midnight! #17 in VP, here I come!
Ceeelllllebrate good times, COME ON!
