    Default Post 1,000,000 is coming up...

    Which will mean prizes...

    I don't know what they'll be yet. But this is a cool thing...

    I figure any poster will be in the running that posts more than 30 posts for the month running up to the 1,000,000th post (whenever that hits).

    I may weight it by number of posts a bit, but I'm not trying to get people to post nonsense, so it will be posts of "substance" (decided by myself as to what substance is... Somebody's gotta judge)...
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    You should make the prize a bottle of Lancome's new Visionnaire.

    My posts are always filled with substance, it may be toxic, but it is a substance!
    An Egyptian writer, Ptah Hotep, put patriarchal beliefs as clearly as
    anyone in the early civilizations: "If you are a man of note, found for
    yourself a household, and love your wife at home, as it beseems. Fill her
    belly, clothe her back. . . . But hold her back from getting the mastery.
    Remember that her eye is her stormwind, and her vulva and mouth are her
    strength."

    It looks like this may be tomorrow...

    I still don't know what I'll give as prizes... It will probably wind up being Amazon.com cards... Give me some time to figure out how I'll throw it and I'll post a new thread to announce winners. I figure I'll randomly draw three prizes, weighting it towards the people who posted more often and with substance. I should note that WW games count as substance, because I like them.

    I'm doing a 30 day window thing... So, it will be a couple weeks before prizes are announced.

    And it's like an impressionist painting. Go stand 7-11 feet from your monitor, the image is clear as day. it doesn't take a lot of effort to tag a title nsfw. Some people have strict jobs or asshole management that will definitely come down on their asses over something like that.

    when in doubt, type the extra 4 characters.
