Here is what I'm looking for:
10,000 thousand posts this month
20,000 thousand total topics
This will be VERY difficult to pull off, but I think we can do it with enough dedication. Perhaps we need to start a new draft, some bickering in the Politics forum, etc but it's time dee-nee got back on track. We need BDawk to get back to his much missed stream of early am posting, we need the dee-nee workers to chime in more during the day, we need late night efforts from the night crew etc.
We need running NBA finals threads, we need to bring back the "What's for dinner" thread, we need to get rdub OFF of websense, we need dedication and support.
Who is with me?
In.
Good man...
Part of your challenge should be to make up the 80 post deficit that BDawk has on you. What's his story anyways? We miss his quantity on Dee-Nee, especially as he was the catalyst to getting a run of early am posts started. If the morning starts slow, then there is nothing to read when the mid morning guys show up.
Quality posts are more important than quantity IMO. 50 posts saying that "Steely Dan sucks" don't really add much to a conversation.
can you guys just get rdub the F off websense? that alone would take care of things

I think he got a new job.

At the rate he's been posting I'll have that done by the end of the week, no problem.

That would explain things, did he make a post about it somewhere?

The only way to ween you idiots off Steely Dan is by rote. All posts are necessary...
I suppose a "Motorhead song of the week" may have gone over better
I will continue to listen to the Songs of the Week, but if I hate them I will still chime in...
Quote from: Gantry on 06/02/08, 12:53:46 PM

And there will be silence if you like them, since you can't admit to liking Steely Dan without losing some board cred. Understood.
I would like to propose that posts by Gino not count toward this goal - the last thing we need is a flurry of that garbage.

10,000 thousand? That's a lot.
It's been since Feb. 2007 that we've had a 10,000 post month. What's happened since then? What key members did we lose around then to account for a several thousand post drop?
Apathy. Websense. A loss of new blood.
JoeDirt
What is Websense?
The software that prevents rdub and a couple other folks from posting during work hours.
What can I do to help?
Start threads that people would consider reading and responding to.

that's boring :D
I suggest d/s that you start a bunch of retarded ass new age threads about faith healing and karma, then follow that up with a possible couple threads about sometime you went out in Sweden and starhole blasted some hot chick. Then post her picture to prove she was actually just as ugly as every other girl in Sweden. Then post the checkmate picture a few times and add nothing interesting to any thread...
otherwise, just do what you do...

i know i don't post a whole lot in general, but that date corresponds exactly to when i quit my old job and moved. i used to be on dee-nee about 6 hours a day, plus a lot of times in class when i was going to school at night. so, maybe i did post a lot.
no i'm relegated to a few evenings a week, if i'm lucky... and an occasional monday, like today.
(http://nomm.com/Stills/images/CheckmateD.jpg)
sorry, work has been crazy the past 3 or 4 months - I used to be there with bdawk making all sorts of early morning replies
Today is the top posting day of 2008, lets keep it going...
Already?
Yes indeed, I set out a challenge and Dee-Nee delivers. If we can keep up this posting pace, we can do 1000 thousand today, though that would be a TALL order.
How tall?
Bol-tall
A little over a post a minute until midnight...
Per person?

I've gotta run into town to pick up some pot and get my car washed...but I'll be back with a vengeance.
You've been a trooper today GoReds, definitely earned your break.
I think I'm going to head home now. Hopefully 3/4th of the folks online won't be gone in 20 minutes...
Can yah include Boxing into the MMA/Wrestling forums title? Its fighting of some sort. C'mon natty gan, do it. Perhaps it'll stir up a little more discussion.
did TBG take over TBT's account for that last post?
he and joe dirt do have the password
I would post more if I was not such a forum whore. I have a redheaded internet girlfriend over in the other forum.
We talk on the skype phone and post together on the other forum. Is that cool? She is a redhead and I will be seeing her next month when I swing by Phoenix. I'll be sure to go on a posting spree for the rest of the week.

Done!
Ive awaited this radical change for years now
Sorry for a lack of posts...I'm just now getting ready to head home (i've been at work since 6 this morning).
I need a beer(s).
Flodd - drink and post plz
A cursory run down the list says today is the most posts since 2006-12-04, lets keep it going!
Eat shit!

We are at 890, I don't think we've ever gotten 1,000 posts in a day. Yet at the same time I keep thinking that perhaps I did this same thing a couple years ago. My brain isn't what it once was. Someone hit the stats page and let us know what the daily record is...
we've went on runs liek this before....matter of fact one of em might have been last year's homer run derby

January 4, 2006 - a day that will live in infamy - 1100 posts
I think it's doable, but I may need more wine
We've already topped it.

what's lips doing in the chatroom? i told him to get back and post in the board.
what happened to the ability to hover over the chat button to see who was in there?
Chat has had some technical issues as of late because of upgrades and the like. Nightwulf took the wise decision to wait until Dee-Nee 2.0 to fuck around with anything else. So we're in a "feature freeze" of sorts in dee-nee 1.0
I still have pink girly man dee-nee. i cleaned out some cookies and such one day and got ol grey and blue back for a moment until i logged back in.
a winner is me.

I wasn't able to get on the forums for a few hours earlier, am I the only one that had this problem? Really put a damper on what could have been an even more glorious day around here.
I've been on the board from various locations pretty much nonstop since about 8:15am, what was happening to you?

Not sure, but I was worried it would put a stop to Dee-Nee history.
All of this, and no Rack thread to get the ball rolling. What an unexpected triumph.

Check, 1248 posts for "yesterday."

Didn't even take a day.
BDAWK IS MY BITCH.
I'm a little disappointed in the post 2AM crowd but I promise to do my part in this.
The local high school sports just finished up over teh weekend so we've officially hit a completely dead period for about 3 months at workj.
Gant, you locked a thread that had zillion post potential. You fool!
I like how yesterday it was fun to dee nee all day, because as fast as you could type something or reload someone had posted something in another thread...
and then today its boring as hell and no one has anything to say...it's like we're hung over after one kick ass party.

Our goal for the next two days is to keep it consistent - 900 posts on Thurs/Friday combined.
Actually, my goal is to not hate your stupid face so much.
Is there a timeline on that goal?

yeah, that's big talk, ult
So far we're on pace for 2500 posts in July.
Yeah, we better not get all complacent or lazy. Or else I'll start another posting spree
If we can get about 2500 posts in the next 6 days (a large number for sure) we would eclipse 10000 for the first time in six months.
Tough, but doable. Get to work boys!
it's never gonna happen.
nope, never gonna happen.
It might
i guess you're right
indeed.
Stop trying to inflate post...

shameless or not, 10000thousand is 10000thousand

we're only about 400 posts away!
399!
maybe if the site hadn't gone down this afternoon
Yesterday seemed all I had
Tomorrow is all I am wanting
Feeling this pale blue sad
Chasing away this imaginary haunting
This is just part of the soul
Being in the valley of low
Today is the time to take a stand
Calm down and finally land
Take in what we want to need
Make it take speed
No need to think of
We are on the brink of
Let it show we are destined to glow
I sense the immaculate crystal clue
Condense the eternal vibrant flow
My brown eyes are no longer pale blue
Please allow me to show and tell
I promise this fairy tale will cast a beautiful spell
It's only in our minds, the pain
It's time for laughter in the rain
Come and let us go beyond the visualized far this time
And dance on the valentine
There is no dangerline
Well on our way for June.
