Can't just put the # of posts that the thread has instead of the number of replies, it only sounds more logical to go by total posts rather than total replies. Maybe they consider the first post to be the actual thread....wait....this is so confusing, I know how it works and all....I just don't understand WHY they decided to set it up that way...

lol, take it up with liljim or whoever the hell formates this site :P
hahah.
i would say that its reasonable logical... sort of...
in the bbs menu thingy, with all the threads listed.... it shows the number of replies, doesnt it? and in here it sais the number of replies aswell? yeh.... i dont see how its confusing. because the person that MAKES the thread isnt really replying to it are they?
bah

Special little things I achieved lately (or will achieve soon):
Broke the 2000 exp mark. ^_^

Well, hello to everyone.

I'm sorry for not being around as much this week. There seems to be a certain hell that my life wants to go through right now that I just cannot avoid.

First off, while I was working last Sunday, my father met me in the bar area at Outback and told me that my Grandfather passed away. Totally sucked, but I kinda knew it would bound to happen soon.

On Monday, I received news from my Dad that we were going to be flying to the funeral in Maine this weekend. I then had to cancel my Saturday shift so that I could be there. I also worked that night.

On Tuesday, my band had that show in West Virginia. We got up at 8am (which is usually my bed-time) and drove for 6 hours to some middle-of-nowhere College, then played (which was awesome!). We stayed up drinking some beers and went to sleep at 5am.

Today, I had to get up again at 8am, and drive back to MD (where I live) and then immediately get changed and drive to work (on 3 hours of sleep). I got home a couple of hours ago...ugh...I am officially tired as hell.

Tomorrow, we have another show, but this time, it is in DC, so that won't be bad.

Friday, I am going to fly out to Maine and stay there until Sunday. I don't know the ins-and-outs of the Funeral arrangements yet, but it will be nice to see the family.

Sunday, I'll be coming back to MD and resuming my life as normal. Unfortunately, I'll miss out on a lot of money to be made...(I really hate talking about money at a time like this, but finally being on my own makes it much more "in my face" then it ever has been before)...

Anyway, hopefully, I'll be back to my regular self come Monday. I haven't replied to anything lately, but please don't be offended. I have just not had a single waking moment of sanity lately...

Stat Topics aren't allowed. Everyone on NG (potentially) has a profile for a reason. No need to have a "Post your popularity here!" thread. Level up (blam/protect or experience) threads and threads about how many posts you have are also not allowed.

The language of the rule and the intent are two different things. The purpose, as you can see from the examples given, is to keep people from cluttering the forums up with, "look what I did today," shit.

There are at least five of these and they're pretty popular, pages in the hundreds. The name "level up" is even in the name of this thread, but how did it manage to get past the mods like that? It's been bugging me forever, I was just hoping somebody would answer it so I didnt have to ask it. :( didnt happen.

The thread started before those rules were in place, and Wi/Ht? was long without moderators minding it, even once there were mods. By the time anyone started trying to shape things up in here, it had evolved into more of a hang-out/club thread than the original posts would indicate. Additionally, it gives people the outlet to crow about their accomplishments.

Tell it to stop. Shoot it if it doesn't listen.

Anyway, I'm posting to annouce that after much hard work I finally made it into the top 100 of both experience and b/p. I won't have internet over Christmas break, so it won't last, but I'm happy while it does.

Grats on both. The easy way to keep the XP up is to have someone deposit for you while you are gone. It's quite common, so I'm surprised you didn't think of it.

SCD: Did you have a whiskey night when you broke your hand? Care to give a quick backstory as to why it happened? Grats on 9k posts btw, that's well up there.

Yes i had whiskey that unfortunate night. Backstory = My mate phones and asks me to come up and have a drink as the rest of my mates are there, i go up, drink whisky beer and wine. One of my "mates" cant take a joke. We talk to each other like we hate each other, calling each other dicks fuds etc.. when they do something wrong or say something daft. This one guy was abnormally stupid this night so he got a bigger share of the swears. so he asked me why this happened i told him, he didnt like it, i said if your gonna hit me it better be hard enough for me not to hit you back, he hit me square in the jaw, it wasnt bad, so i done him in, then realised my drink was still in my mates house so we both went and got it. That is when i rtealised there was something wrong with my hand. Excuse the miss-spellings and grammer and punctuation, this is rather difficult you see.

Thanks to D0GMA for missing me out on grats, what abitch ;)

Grats Agatio on 1k saves well done, im almost there myself.
