Yes, I am excited too! Even though it's just an arbitrary number, it's still pretty cool. I also note, in my fetish with numbers, that we're getting close to our one thousandth member, although that will probably happen in late February or March.

Quick warning now to the well-intentioned: don't make fluffy one-liner posts just to get to 50k quicker or try to be the 50k poster. I will mod you suckas down!

I modded him down as promised, but it was probably still worth it, eh, row row?

Since if he would mod me -3, he would do it right away. He only did -1 then hours later -2 then today -3. I guess it is a few users. Everyone is angry at me.
Edit: Thanx everyone.

Row row, not just anyone can be the fifty thousandth poster. It is a position that demands dignity, pride, and indifference to rank point loss. This is your burden.

There was one time when I lost all my rank points and it was very upsetting, but eventually I got over it.

All you have to do is just put them back. Just add 1000 points to your profile. Can't mods do that? I have to earn them.

Actually no, they can't. I was talking to Matt, and he told me that if a mod tries to modify their rank points in any way, up or down, the forum code is written in such a way that it will bombard the user's router with bad packets, making it overheat. The power surge will then send a pulse through the ethernet cable to the computer's network card, overloading the computer. This massive electrical charge will then leave the system through the only available access port: the keyboard.

So you see, Erik can't change his mod points in that way, because he'll die. And that's a bad thing.

Then why not another mod like schik or mattcrampy or trick or oneiromancer or mrimer?

On the DROD.net server, my rank point container has a hole in it where all my points leaked out. You read the post I wrote about that, so you probably remember how it happened. Anyhow, I patched up the container with scotch tape as well as I could, but the scotch doesn't adhere very well to plastic, and I'm afraid that any sudden jostling will make it come free and I'll lose all my points again. Definitely depositing a large amount of rank points at one time would be risky.

So why not go to the store, for a few greckels and buy a metal rank point holder.

Actually the real reason that none of the moderators will restore Erik's points is because they've been discussing for some time having a coup and taking over the forum. But don't let Erik know; it's supposed to be a surprise for his birthday.

Well, that's easy for you to say in hindsight, but I really thought the scotch tape was going to work, and now if I even tap the case it starts to fall off. I think the best plan for now is to leave my rank point container as it is, but prop it up from underneath with a big pile of Slim-Fast Meal Bar wrappers. Also, I will make everyone take off their shoes in the house so it doesn't make extra floor vibrations.

Okay...as long as this doesn't include your basement. I don't think I would want to walk half the circumference of the world barefoot just to visit Crampy.
