Real Questions

In my profile it says under Post Stats:

A: 9 | D: 9 | M: 9 | HP: 20

Can someone please tell me what this means?

And can you find out how many people have you on ignore?

Immortal Wombat · June 26, 2003, 20:04

Ignore list question: you can't.

Post stats...

DrSpike · June 26, 2003, 20:06

Hold your horses a thread came after that.

Immortal Wombat · June 26, 2003, 20:07

did it? I couldn't find it

And the search isn't working.

Agathon · June 26, 2003, 20:10

OK so I'm now the but of some joke. No one knows do they.

Thanks for the link IW. It allowed me to trace down to the first thread posted about it ever.

As Markos puts it :
"Level: shows how much you've posted
HP: shows how good your average posts(posts/day) is. if it's over 3, you'll have full HP
MP: shows how long you've been a member and how active you have been
Exp: shows how close you are to geting to a new level"

Agathon : IIRC, at some point during 2002's summer, Markos included these figures just under our avatars, because he thought it would be fun to have RPG-like stats for each poster (at the very beginning, the stats we hit-point, mana, experience, just like in Diablo)
Since everybody wondered about it, and since people spammed much more to get better stats,, he removed them quickly from the public eye. The post stats you see in the profile are the remnants of this initiative.

Sorry to have brought you here in the community forum while you asked on the OT, but post-stats threads are part of the community forum's lifeblood. You are not personally the butt of some joke, it is absolutely not directed towards you

Immortal Wombat · June 26, 2003, 20:11

And then it changed from D&D to Civ, and we're confused again.

DrSpike · June 26, 2003, 20:15

Ok Alex is closest with June 29th.

Well done Alex, you are the DrSpike post stats challenge champion, wresting the title from Static Universe's gollum-like embrace.

Thanks to those that provided links.........I can't be assed to check whether they are exhaustive.......the thread I linked to in the thread below (with Alex's win) has the exhaustive list.

OK cheers. I was being sarcastic. It's a pretty funny contest actually.

Immortal Wombat · June 26, 2003, 20:26

30 July

DrSpike · June 26, 2003, 20:29

Well I've consistently been underestimating the level of ignorance in my last few guesses, so I'm going to go with 7th August...........actually before my guess for the last comp.

Thread will be slyly locked (or forgotten about

) in 10 days.

alva · June 26, 2003, 20:32

Héhé, that was a long time ago..

I go for 2 similar threads on august 12.

Spike what are the odds on that at the moment?

Skanky Burns · June 26, 2003, 22:59

Damn, I was so close to winning this one.

Oh well. Looks like its time for another long shot - 1st September.

jdd2007 · June 26, 2003, 23:41

Ben Kenobi · June 27, 2003, 02:42

No matter how they dress it up, they are laughing at you, not with you. They live for this. Their lives would be incomplete without new blood on the altar of the pool.

notyoueither · June 27, 2003, 04:37

Oh, and you should blame Skanky.

Well I fed it into my forecast computer and................well...........it started laughing. You draw your own conclusions.

And Agathon, don't listen to NYE, he is being flippant. You asked a reasonable question, it just happened to be one that gets asked a lot (and probably still would if it was in the FAQ). The post stats challenge that results is a little immature, but quite a lot of fun. So join in now.
