Number 15 of the top 100, in 2 weeks?

51 replies

by tig2

I went from 10 to 8 in less than a week. Go figure.

The bright spot is that I recognise every one of those names. I see them frequently and I see them posting. And I see them posting in a variety of subjects. So maybe the change is warranted, I don't know.

You DO post a lot, Jaqui. Sure, some of it is banter, but you also bring some really good stuff to the TR table. Yesterday's "Old Timers Unite" approach brought some really thoughtful subject matter up and gave us some discussions that ranged all over the board. So maybe that placement and your elevation to same has merit. I think it does, anyway.

by jaqui

I could post 10 times as much easily. :D
I barely post at all.
[ I have records from forums where I hit 20,000 posts in less than 6 months. ]

by tig2

But you DO post quite a bit. And as I said, more substance than fluff.

I suppose if you went on a posting rampage, you would easily knock me off the coveted number 8 position!

by dadspad

I do not know how they compile this top 100 list. It must be who posted in more limited time frame. Which may be more fair, at least, to people such as myself, who have only been actively posting for a short time compared to others on that list. :) Like you!!

Actually, since (most) of us are actively working while on TR, our posts can be erratic, depending on how busy we are.

by inkling

since you have more or less single-handedly kept the Friday Yuks alive for the past few months.

by gadgetgirl

Coo!

I didn't even realise I could reach that far to surprise you where you were ...... ;)

sorry, Dad, on a boring Tues pm I really, really couldn't hold that one back (DE!)

by jaqui

If it holds true then tomorrow I'll be at number 5.
yesterday I was at number 25.

:D

by hal 9000

It hasn't posted anything for weeks and was still going up the list long after it stopped making any posts. Went from 15 to 7 or something like that without making a single post. That one should have been dropped off the Top 100 ages ago.

That one to went from nothing to near the top in a very short time as well so it must have more to do with what you post then where you post it. The [b]Smeg Head[/b] was always answering questions and hardly ever participated in discussions as well. :D

What's that creaking noise behind me it couldn't possibly be the airlock opening could it? :D

Whoops you can say whatever you like just shut that door now [b]Pretty Please[/b] [/begging]

by gadgetgirl

but I really [b] definitely [/b] think you should be over here in my Mental Health facility, dearest.

You've just passed the 2nd sign of madness.

Sign 1. Talking to yourself
Sign 2. Answering back!

:p :D

by w2ktechman

with either of my personalities for over 3 weeks, and they held their ground.
then finally, they started losing ground a bit. But just 4 posts with pond scum brought it back up from the 90's to the 70s...hmmmm.

by the scummy one

and answering back as a test. W2k, what is this nonesense you are talking about??? I was never in the 90's.... More like high 80's

by hal 9000

And I?m expected to carry on that way so now I do. :0

But I?ll see the specialist tomorrow but I?m not going to the meat-works I?m paying for the privilege so I need some income so that I can pay him. Have you any idea how much Quacks cost? Then they want everything for themselves done for nothing but they must be paid no matter what happens. :_|

But unlike Tig I didn't accidentally fall into IT I was [b]Drunk At the Time,[/b] and they told me lies about what I would be doing. It?s only got worse since that time, but in an effort to save what little sanity I may have left I no longer do either Government or Medical Work so you are ruled out on both counts. :D

[i]Edit to add[/i] Besides I've found after much trial & error that if I have a conversation with myself no one's eyes glaze over and then start looking at the ceiling in an attempt to escape. And while I'm arguing with myself no one is brave enough to come over and see what's going on. It really works a treat you should try it sometime. :^0

at 6:03, your time, you said you reached me from way over there, it really did surprise me. Especially where that touch landed!

Thank You!!!

:) I could not resist either.

Then you will stay where you are for several weeks (or slip just a little).

Or you can try Hal's advice, get a second account, and just be a real pain :^0

by hal 9000

This one is worse than me and not only is talking to itself but having a long conversation and arguing with itself. Remember to take him to that [b]Special Bed[/b] that you have waiting and tuck it in every night. :D

God you are going to need a lot of help very soon and GG is just the one to dish it out [b]You Poor Boy[/b] :^0

by tig2

I am in the sacred #8 position and I plan to stay there! You can be 12 or something. But not 8. I insist!

by w2ktechman

somehow I think I will enjoy GG's bed, so I will continue to argue with myself just for the chance! :)

by w2ktechman

but I was much lower, so post a few more and I will post a bunch more and you can keep #8 while I try to move to #7

by w2ktechman

one would think that you would be arguing with yourself to get into GG's 'special bed'!!! :^0

by jaqui

the only bed I want to be in is the one my wife is in ]:)

edit to add:

I know gg won't be upset at my being faithful to my wife. :D

by hal 9000

That means that you'll only see GG when she's on her way home and all the staff that are there that GG has no control over will be the ones that are very carefully looking after you. [i]Insert Maniacal Laughter here.[/i]

But if you like they will all be wearing [b]Nurses Uniforms[/b] but as you'll be restrained for your own good you'll be unable to do much about it. Besides men wearing Female Nurses Uniforms don't do all that much for me but maybe you are different and like that type of thing. :D

Anyway I'll let GG know that you need to be picked up however the [b]NHS[/b] are [b]Virgins[/b] [i]Tight A$$es[/i] [u]translation supplied by NTS[/u] so they will most likely send you to [b]Georgie Land[/b] by [b]Surface Mail in a new white coat[/b] so you'll stave to death long before you actually arrive. I'm told that some like suffering like this so maybe you'll be extremely pleased with yourself. :^0

You took my number 9 spot off me, I had that number 9 for ages and you took advantage of me going away for a short while and swooped in and took my place im not happy :(

by hal 9000

Fake Steffi is currently on line at a estimated time of around 4,30 AM UK time which just proves that the impersonator is really a [b]Fake![/b] :p

[i]Time Zones supplied by GG and Maths supplied by Shellbot. So things must be Perfectly correct.[/i] :D

the Ubuntu lovers are all up in arms, since I said it isn't secure because they disabled the root account.

in the install vmware server in ubuntu article discussion. :D

it's so much fun to twist their heads into knots by pointing out the falacy of no system admin account being secure.

by w2ktechman

so the only time you think about posting now is when you are DRUNK at 4:30am?

And you are worried about losing your current position??? :0

by steffi28

W2K Now its 3am and im not drunk but im still posting I also post when I should be doing uni work and when im supposed to be in uni too and before I go to bed, just not as much as when I was sat in front of a computer all day in Germany!

And Jaq seen as its you who has stole my place I'll let you off I suppose I'll have to be happy about being in 75th place!

by steffi28

I moved up two places this week im finally 73rd now! I will eventually get back into the top ten, or I'll at least try to.

by w2ktechman

you cannot have this #.
However, if you persist, I will need to bring Pond Scum back out, to have him raise havoc and help keep you from dethroning my #10 spot.

by w2ktechman

so you should shoot to be 100...

As far as getting higher, I think that is up to you and your current finances :0
Maybe you should look up OTR and Deepsand, they were planning a party (but forgot what they were talking about)...

As for rankings, it should be easy enough to go up the list, just not to 10

by jaqui

you only need to go up a bit in the list to have the perfect number ]:)
