MR Mystery - close to being solved

kretzy · Feb 8, 2006

I predict that in the next few days one of MR greatest mysteries (well it's a mystery to the majority of us commoners

) will be solved - what comes after 601? A certain (we all know who I'm referring to) member is quickly approaching the 10,000 post mark and I'm just wondering what everyone thinks the next ranking will be. I don't really have any idea, but I'll take a guess at "G3".

Nope i don't know who u are refering to so spill it. I don't think there is anything after 601...i think thats it unless they added another step.

Bless

We already know (from a month ago) that you get 604 status over 15.000, so the standard guess is that you get 603(e?) when reaching 10.000. Check the MR rankings above 601 thread.

Why is this thread in Picture Gallery?

kretzy · Feb 8, 2006

Oops, I must have missed that.

And I have no idea why it's in the picture gallery, I swear I posted it in the community section.

I must have smoked something without knowing it.

Wasteland.

Nah... isn't a moving (or merging) more appropiate...?

yeah, the thinner the better. i really think that apple could make a 1.2 cm thick macbookpro. that would be enough space for a dvd/cd drive, harddrive, screen, and everything.

that would be gnarly

I don't think so. I think he's hooked you.

Hmm... Maybe it's 603...

MacNut · Feb 8, 2006

I say we drop the old chip names just like Apple did, from now on Everyone is Intel.

Congratulations mate!

10,000 posts is a pretty fair effort!

8086. Oh!

Thanks buddy. It's actually pretty scary. I'm almost starting to feel like a bit of an ol' regular.

I say you should get a gift of some kind, free therapy maybe?

Looks like you hit 603.

Crazy Jew.

The official "congrats" thread for mad jew can be found here.

No use continuing this thread, as it is no longer a mystery. And actually, it never was a mystery - some members were obviously just out of the loop and didn't know what we've known for a while.

I figured the MR mystery was "what happened to Lacero?"

We're still trying to figure that one out...

Nope. That's not a mystery. It's a conspiracy theory.

The mystery is what would this member's rank be.

Well, we already know 10,000 posts = 603 and 15,000 posts =604 (with the possibility of having 603e and 603ev as very limited rankings in there.

After that, my guess would be 750 at 20,000, and 7400 at 25,000. Of course you could have short-term rankings around the two as well, such as 7410, 7447, 7450, 750cx etc. so it is anyone's guess I suppose how granular the MR Gods care to be.

The only thing to be wary of is that some avid posters are moving through history at far too rapid a pace. We're going to run out of processors eventually (or catch up). Somehow, being a Core Duo doesn't seem as interesting as being a historical processor.

spammer.. you forgot the word "spammer" there at the end.

...was wondering the same thing...first a thorougly entertaining post about '25 Pet Peeves', then lots of quality discussion, then silence.

Maybe the Men in Black paid her/him a visit

I think it should stick with G3, 4 & 5. Apple never used the 750 and 7xxx names, at least not from a marketing point of view.
