Off Topic - Getting to 10,000 Posts #73: Procrastination Bad! Posting Good!

", DON'T !"

Intro by Pika:

Welcome! This is the Getting to 10,000 Posts thread, where we all post incessantly until we reach our personal posting goals! Somehow a little thread about wanting to get to ten thousand posts turned into this huge frenzying monster!

(...okay, we did it. Alea and Joce and I. But don't tell anyone. [IMG]http://www.****************/smileys/sssh.gif[/IMG])

What is this thread about? POSTING!

This is the place to talk about what your post-count goals might be—for the day, the week, even the month! It's also a place where you can make milestone posts, and be applauded by all who are here. Whether you're trying to make 500 posts to get that custom avie, or are well past 10,000 posts and headed for the ranks of FF's busiest posters, this is the place to be!

So, what is this thread really about? Isn't it just "star posting"? This thread is not a place to make completely random posts, just to increase your post count. It's also not a place where double- or triple-posting is encouraged, though it can happen accidentally. However, this is often what is known as a "conversation (or convo) thread." People are here to chat about anything and everything, to get to know each other, and to create solid FF friendships. You'll find everyone here to be friendly and supportive. We're just one big Bunny family!

Who's who around here? Our mods are quarterley (Cindy) and Sick Boy (Los, or Carlos). They drop by semi-regularly to participate in the festivities. You'll also find plenty of mods from other boards just stopping in to post awhile. While we don't have formal "thread owners" or anything, by consensus the BBOT's (Big Bunnies On Thread) are Wild Pikachu (yours truly, Pika), roswellian_chick16 (Joce), Alea, and goldenpuppies at heart (Sharon). They are usually responsible for starting new threads, keeping things going, and generally minding the thread.

What is this "Bunny" thing? Around thread #8, when it was becoming clear that this "10,000 Posts" concept wasn't going to just fade away, Alea came up with the idea of starting a list of people who just post and post and post here. She also came up with the name "Energizer Bunnies," and so that's what we are.

Many of the smilies you will see on this thread come from Fancy's Smilies.

I agree.

Hopefully this one will last until tomorrow morning sometime, cuz the next one has to be the "HAPPY BIRTHDAY BERKIE" thread...

I'm going to lie down for a minute, which'll probably turn into a couple hours...

Be back later...

Kismet16 · 03-03-2005, 07:43 PM
