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

[Damocles]

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)...

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

[Minister of Truth]

Well, that's refreshing to know.

[Damocles]

It looks like this may be tomorrow...

[Damocles]

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.

:D

[Minister of Truth]

Tomorrow's not convenient. Pick another day.

[Damocles]

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

[Minister of Truth]

As a special award, you should PM whoever makes post #999,999 informing them that they suck and should kill themselves.

[/MSG/]

leave that open when your boss walks by if you think it's no big deal.

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.

The actual 1,000,000th post.

[BRUTALITOPS]

I will donate a nude photo of myself to the winner

[Damocles]

We're currently at: 999,883...

Wow, I thought more people would post, but it is a long weekend. Plus the contest is not the person who posts the post... I'm drawing names from a pool of people...

[Cancel 2018. 3]

so the actual 1 million post, poster, doesn't win, unless by chance?

You understand that your guidelines totally elimnate rootbeer from even having a chance! :)

Correct. I wanted there to be a chance for everybody to win rather than just the 1,000,000th post.

Man, we have the best group of posters out there. Now bring some of your friends... At some point I'll be giving out prizes for the 2,000,000th post and you'll want them to be here!

It will serve you right if one of the trolls gets the prize!!

[Minister of Truth]

I think that's partly what Damo is trying to avoid. He can simply take the pool of posters, and eliminate all of the trolls from it prior to his random selection.

So, who won?

Almost time... I still don't know what the prizes will be. I think I'll just make it Amazon.com cards.

$125 for the winner.
$50 for the second place.
$25 for the third...

I really want to thank y'all for hanging around our little dysfunctional web family...

Damo should just give It to you guys for modding. Split it evenly between the three or leave it as is and you should get the largest one because you, IMO, do the most mod work.

I don't need a prize for posting here. I consider the ulcer I got from it quite enough. I would just donate mine back anyway.

i gotta say, no one has the ability to inflate someones ego like you do ;)

all mods do a ton of stuff. billy is always merging threads and moving them to the warzone etc. I find myself doing a lot of private messaging and talking about reported posts, i.e. "you shouldn't have reported this" or "we will get back to you." we all kind of do everything when it's called for. But my most proud mod stuff is always not getting involved at all.

And who wants to guess what I just did to Grind's post? :lolup:

Webbway uses a proxy, that makes sense. He is obviously too scared that someone might track him down!!

But they won't cancel a contract if I post a message about the current administration. The CG might. Hence, I cannot post on a POLITICAL site from an IP that can be traced to the company.



That's nice. you bet your ass it is.

[CanceledB]

And if someone you don't like posts things that make you uncomfortable, just call them a "troll" and engage in ad hominem attacks.

Ah, yes. The reliable old misuse of 'ad hom', one of my favorites....:rofl2: Whenever I'm accused of ad hom it's usually by some crybaby who forgot to bring an argument. In such instances, I like to post this:


One of the most widely misused terms on the Net is "ad hominem". It is most often introduced into a discussion by certain delicate types, delicate of personality and mind, whenever their opponents resort to a bit of sarcasm. As soon as the suspicion of an insult appears, they summon the angels of ad hominem to smite down their foes, before ascending to argument heaven in a blaze of sanctimonious glory. They may not have much up top, but by God, they don't need it when they've got ad hominem on their side. It's the secret weapon that delivers them from any argument unscathed.

In reality, ad hominem is unrelated to sarcasm or personal abuse. Argumentum ad hominem is the logical fallacy of attempting to undermine a speaker's argument by attacking the speaker instead of addressing the argument. The mere presence of a personal attack does not indicate ad hominem: the attack must be used for the purpose of undermining the argument, or otherwise the logical fallacy isn't there. It is not a logical fallacy to attack someone; the fallacy comes from assuming that a personal attack is also necessarily an attack on that person's arguments.

Therefore, if you can't demonstrate that your opponent is trying to counter your argument by attacking you, you can't demonstrate that he is resorting to ad hominem. If your opponent's sarcasm is not an attempt to counter your argument, but merely an attempt to insult you (or amuse the bystanders), then it is not part of an ad hominem argument.

Tonight I'll be posting the results... It took a while. I gathered information on who posted during the 30 day window, put their names on a list, gave points for good posts, took away points for bad posts... I have to figure out how many entries each gets, and I'll admit it was very subjective and based on me.

Everybody who posted during the period has a chance to win one of the three prizes. It's been amazing fun hanging around with y'all for all this time. 1,000,000th post was huge for me. It makes me grin.
