My last click reported something like: "1818 tar babies were poked to make this message."

Hmmmmm, I just clicked ( as you do) and I didn't get a number this time - just a message. What's happened to the numbers?

What did the message say? Did it have a series of ones and zeros (in which case, those ones and zeros would represent the total clicks in binary) or did it give a Parse Error on a certain line (which seems to be a clever way of giving the click number)? Or did it give something else entirely?

Small bug: Just got the message 'These messages are 21.7% as funny as last time.' while the real number should have been 21,07. This also occured at click no. 2103

Something else entirely - about the Really Big Sword . . . ?

It's probably a precursor to the new goodies. I got the same message.

I take it you didn't get a screencap or write down what it said either.

Did you know that:

Yes I did actually - I made a picture, but would it be approrpiate to tell what it says?

See - that's exactly what I thought too.
I actually made a post saying what it was, but then I realized that I might not want to do that, and deleted it.

Yeah, having seen the message, I think it's definitely a good idea to drop the issue, as it were.

The bar says:

In less than 3758 hours, a new Riddle of the Bar will be revealed.

But the time we have to wait keeps getting longer!

Just clicked the bar, suddenly, a slayer came from under the bar and said this: 'I am the 4491st Slayer'. Almost died laughing!

Mine was clearly an impostor. A real Slayer would have identified himself as '4799th Slayer', not 'the 4799th Slayer'.

Oh no, I clicked the bar, and suddenly it disappeared!!

Luckily, it came back when I refreshed the page.

Hey, I found a new message!

"x spambots have been stopped by the 12-rankpoint rule.

neener neener"

I laughed pretty hard at it. Good work, Schik!

EDIT: I got the same message that Timo did. That's a very cool effect!

It's kinda neat how the bar has only been out for a little over a week and it has already gathered almost 6,000 clicks.

This either proves the bar is especially invigorating to the forums or it proves our limited active members have a high devotion to clicking the bar. Probably both.

I know it encourages me to be on more. And to click it more. And more.

Alright, that was a cute message.

The 6011st poke was apparently the last straw for the bar.

Good job.

And then the Bar faded off the page. It was back when I refreshed, though.

Last time I clicked the bar, roaches entered the screen to spell out the total number of clicks!

These messages really keep getting better and better

I only needed to click twice before it popped up. I agree, these messages are improving very quickly!

I'd go so far as to say that these messages are 77.77% as funny as last time.

"As you click, the bar squeaks 8048 times"
Does this mean the bar is wearing out, or is it powered by mice?
