urban landmark: the 10 millionth post is nearly here!

[strung out]

I don't think I care enough to do that.

there wouldn't be any point anyway, because i've already done it for you

 

[dlx1]

Have to check and double check.

 

[editor]

I've written a little piece here:
http://www.urban75.org/blog/urban75-celebrates-10-million-posts/

I reckon it's worthy enough to be in the UK new section too.

 

[machine cat]

So what do I win?

So if http://www.urban75.net/vbulletin/th...-quot-..-apparently-)?p=10651965#post10651965 ie post 10651965 was the 9millionth post how come 10th million is not post no. 11651965 and why are there an extra million+ posts in that total unaccounted for. Dark matter?

Because a further 1662 posts have been deleted since then.

Fittingly, it appears that the 10,000,000th post was someone asking if a previous post was the 10,000,000th post – or it may have been someone posting up a picture of a crispy pancake or – even better – it may have been a post featuring the image above. Or it may have been a one word post asking, “get?”

So, you don't actually know which post was the 10,000,000th?

Posters airbrushed out of history after being neckshotted for anti revolutionary activities?

it was machine cat's, saying 'get?'.

editor's piece makes for a better article though.

 

[Crispy]

The actual 10,000,000th happened a while back. The number on the front page discounts deleted posts. According to that number, it is very definitely "Get?" - the other posts mentioned are close, but no cigar.

 

[wayward bob]

get?

was that it?

 

[strung out]

yes

Spam, duplicate posts, redundant threads, deletion by request/legal issues. It all adds up.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Fuck's sake!

I just want to know if Machine Cat's "Get?" post was an enquiry about his sex shop photo or an unrelated post basically saying, "well what about THIS one?".

The latter.

 

[Steel Icarus]

The latter.

I was hoping for the former. Ah well. Tits on a bull.

 

[DJ Squelch]

Well at least Editor has used my pic in his piece, victory enough for me and I can say I had the 9,999,999th post too.

 

[ddraig]

well bloody done!

 

[Open Sauce]

The latter.

Edit it into something profound

You have yourself a very good point there.

 

[machine cat]

Edit it into something profound

It's a bit late now.

 

[editor]

It's a bit late now.

I could add something exciting if you like.

Like this.

It would be a simple matter to delete earlier posts and change the "apparent" 10 millionth post.

 

[DotCommunist]

revisionism

Nah. Let the chips fall where they may.

Mmmmm. Chips.
