That's a lot of posts...

The most frequently-visited forums on the internet.

#1 is an anime board called Gaia... 380 MILLION posts. Holy shit.

For the statistically-curious, at our current rate of posting (roughly 33,333 posts per year assuming we reach 100,000 by January 1, which we might), we will reach that mark in approximately 11,400 years.

Also at our current rate of posting, we will have enough posts to qualify being listed on this site in the year 2018.

Get crackin', people.

Does that factor in the fact that losing OB1 probably cut our rate in half?

... oh, and I posted a new review. :) Finished Riviera earlier today, so I decided to review it... it's long, I hope people actually read the thing.

[Weltall]

I saw it. I noticed that you started writing it on October 10th, 2005.

Yay time travel!

Our posting rate has finally gone back up quite a bit. Not to OB1 levels, but after he left, it seems like the board kinda slowed down altogether for awhile. Now, we're about as active as I would expect us being if he had never been here.

[A Black Falcon]

Umm... September, yeah... :) (but hey, I just noticed that I had a spelling error in the name of 'Kirby Tilt n Tumble' in the thread title for my review that had been there for since I posted it, so oh well...) I started the review at ten or so and was done by eleven, I think... good game. Long post to describe all I could about it.

I'm not sure if it's that or if we're just getting used to the significantly slower pace of posting... I'm probably more inclined to say the latter, but perhaps it's sped up a bit since he left (relative to how it was immediately afterwards). Not hugely, though, I think.

[Great Rumbler]

We have 335 registered members, Gaia has 2,506,724. That makes a difference, I think.

[Weltall]

Gaia has more registered members than many states and several small nations.

Hey, I didn't even notice OB1 wasn't posting anymore. I don't know how I missed that!

[N-Man]

2018ton!!

[Great Rumbler]

Hey, I didn't even notice OB1 wasn't posting anymore. I don't know how I missed that!

He's been gone since May!

[Darunia]

I've brought Illusion, Colonel Cocoapuffs and Undertow here... they're not our #1 posters, but they've been sticking around. If everyone else here brought in 3 friends to stay, we'd easily have a better Tendo City.

Well, what's y'all excuses?

[Great Rumbler]

I don't know three people that would want to come to a Nintendo forum.

[CoconutCommander]

This is a Nintendo forum?

[Weltall]

Surprise!

[Darunia]

There's little more Nintendo here than in the name. This is more of a cyber chatroom, that has a casual videogame theme.

NOW whats your excuse?!

[CoconutCommander]

I just thought this was an elitist closeminded assholes forum ...thats why I joined

[Great Rumbler]

Well, that too. Sometimes Nintendo.

[Weltall]

I just thought this was an elitist closeminded assholes forum

Well, I don't like to brag, but...

[A Black Falcon]

You mean it's not a mental institution? Huh... sure seems like it is sometimes!

[Geno]

He's been gone since May!

I've been gone since April and I just recently came back.

[EdenMaster]

Still, haven't you noticed the distinct lack of Bo Jackson, Semnat, pointless arguments, posts with just smileys, and huge annoying pictures? Dead giveaways!

I wonder if OB1 will give us another chance once Revolution comes out...probably not :D

You miss that stuff? :)

I miss the 'real' posts, not that stuff. And yeah, it doesn't look likely at all that he's going to come back... which is more bad than good, even if I really like how much less angry TC is without him. It gets boring here now... (he was in MSN last night, though. With Lazy and Ryan and me and Smoke and Mapel.)

Only anime fans would waste that much time posting on forums and drool over images of cartoon women with obscenely large breasts.

[Great Rumbler]

Gaia - 380,000,000 posts and 2,500,000 members, average of 152 posts.

Tendocity - 90,000 posts and 350 members, average of 257 posts.

[Dark Jaguar]

Nuh-uh, we average more like 257.14285714285714285714285714286!

[Great Rumbler]

Thank you, DJ. We would surely be lost without your disgustingly precise numbers.

[Geno]

Indeed. What fun it must be to have no job, no money, and altogether just no life. Their only way of getting those expensive anime DVDs is by making a wish list of them on Amazon.com and becoming a webcam whore so that others can pity them and buy stuff for them, whereas the rest of us go to jobs to earn what we want. (And I'd rather have DVDs of great American cartoons such as The Simpsons, Futurama, South Park, and Family Guy. I turn to Japan for video games though.)

[Great Rumbler]

I'm an anime fan [actually freak is probably closer than fan, but anyway] and I actually work for the money I use to buy anime...and videogames...and scifi/fantasy books...and music CDs...

[Geno]

Yeah, it's no problem if you like anime so long as you actually have a life on the side. I just don't like those webcam whores who spend all their time posting links to eBay auctions in AIM chat rooms or their LiveJournals/Xangas/Blogs for UFO dolls of their favorite bishonen/bishoujo and then whine because they don't have any money and they don't stop whining until somebody gets fed up and says "All right, I'll buy it for you!"

[Dark Jaguar]

What sort of pages do you GO to?! I don't even know what half of that means!

[Weltall]

I don't spend any money. I save it all, because I'm moving in six months.

[Great Rumbler]

If I had to go six months without buying stuff, I'd probably collapse in on myself like a neutron star.

I don't even know what half of that means!

I understood it.

[A Black Falcon]

I only don't know what a 'Xanga' is, but by context I guessed that its some kind of livejournal...

[Geno]

Yeah... LiveJournal, Xanga, Blog, they're all the same thing. There are probably several other names for those things too, but the users are still either anime whores as described above or 14-year-old emo freaks who write dark poetry and think they're philosophers. I try to stay away from these sites, but every popular board has these types of people.

Tendo City > every popular board

[CoconutCommander]

Hey! I am not gonna buy any anime when I know I can get a middle aged american who thinks he has a shot at laying my sweet 14 year old ass to buy it for me. Just flare the lighting a little bit and apply some heavy makeup and you can be just like me, an 14 year old asain internet cam whore. *Sian San* (=

Just because I complain about money on the internet doesn't mean Im really broke, it is just part of my internet ploy for free anime paraphenelia. *Choi Cum Bluk* (=

Good point. I oughta try that sometime. Maybe I could get a wig and try and pass myself off as a girl.

I think I was just about right that losing OB1 cut our posting in half. Note how we're not at 100,000 yet, yet at the old rate Ryan states we should have reached that number four months ago...

[Great Rumbler]

That anime website has over 600 million posts.

[A Black Falcon]

So in the last eight months they've had 240 million posts, and we've had something like 10,000. 15,000 maybe? :)

[Great Rumbler]

More or less.

[N-Man]

We need a forum about Madonna or bling blang or something.
