Ban him for a week so ~Shard~ can catch up. :)

Congrats MJ!

A thousand crabs at a thousand typewriters, and you finally got there. :D

[Danksi]

Can someone please explain what the whole '604 status' etc means?

Like for me, what's 'macrumors 65816' all about eh?

Well, the post counts for the different titles are listed here (http://guides.macrumors.com/Help:MacRumors_FAQ#How_do_user_titles_work.3F)...higher ones are a mystery known only to a select few. The actual numbers refer to processors used through Apple's history.

Congrats to you MadJew.

Wow, and just a few hours ago, I said "Hey, madjew's a 603 now."


:rolleyes:
So, did we miss the 603e? And is the 604e next?

Anyways, here's (http://microscopy.berkeley.edu/courses/dib/sections/01Terms/604overlay.gif) madjew's new avatar. ;)

Fixed. :D

Congrats, MJ, :) ---- um --- that's a load of time at a keyboard.... :)

I noticed you have 15,000 posts..

Impressive accomplishment ... 16,000 will become the next gold standard for the mad one on 09-12-06.

He'll get more than a thousand posts by that time, geeze that's nearly six months away, in six months he'd be closer to 20k.

OK, guilty as charged ... and Aussies seem to take a 3-month span and magically transform it into double that amount. :)

I'm so putting this into the computer for my "in case you need an excuse to party!" daily reminder.

Congrats, mad jew! *blows party kazoo*

And MJ, I'm soooo not impressed. Must, try, harder.

Congratulations mad jew on breaking this milestone! :D

[Blue Velvet]

I'm puzzled why people feel the need to congratulate others on their post count. I can't think of anything hollower and less significant than back-slapping someone on the basis of how many times they've hit the 'reply' button.

[sushi]

Maybe dedication to MR?

Seems to me, that the more one makes meaningful posts, the more they contribute. But that's just me.

True.

Congats mad jew on your 12th meaningful post, yay!

[Blue Velvet]

Seems to me, that the more one makes meaningful posts, the more they contribute. But that's just me.

Meaningful, yes. This isn't a slight upon MJ, just a comment that some seem to find post count a far greater signifier than it actually warrants, while others whose contributions are less prolific but more valuable are overlooked.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

[dmw007]

True.

Don't be so hard on him, I thought that it was meaningful post #15. ;) :D

[Applespider]

Seems to me, that the more one makes meaningful posts, the more they contribute. But that's just me.

But, and no disrespect to MJ here, there's no count on how many of the posts are meaningful so post count is a pretty arbritary method of valuing worth to the MR community.

You do bring up a valid point Blue Velvet- sometime those who post more in quantity are given more credit than those who post less in terms of quantity but more in terms of quality. :)




That said, mad jew deserves some recognition for his outstanding participation (obsession? ;) ) here at MR. :)

Take me for example, 1 out of every 100 of my posts might be helpful. :o ;) :D

I believe we've already had those threads. Why don't we thank some other people around here for a change instead of having this pathetic dick-measuring contest of post-count watching? There are plenty of candidates, that's for sure.

Do I sense some jealousy? ;) :D




But once again, you have a point Blue Velvet there are plenty of great people on this forum that are worthy of recognition. :)

Agree. :D

Reference above, just wanted to make a short meaningful answer! :p :D

BV, you do make some very valid points.

BTW, meaningful in itself is open to interpretation. What is meaningful to me may or may not be meaningful to someone else.

This is true. :)

[gwuMACaddict]

multiple times, in fact:rolleyes:

i'm with you. post counts are a waste of attention.

in his defense, mad jew doesn't bring this stuff up himself... it's other people who feel the need to pad their own post counts who do ;)

[Blue Velvet]

Do I sense some jealousy? ;) :D

Is that how you think my mind works?

But no, not in the slightest. I'm actually thinking of plenty of unsung heroes on this forum who sometimes don't even get a thanks from the person they've helped.

I'd be equally annoyed to see threads about me springing up, left right and centre or anyone else for that matter.

Why do people feel the need to make these things even public? To be seen to shower praise seems to be just as important as the praise itself... IMO that's what PMs are for.

Yes, let us remember that mad jew is guilty until proven innocent......err, I mean innocent until proven guilty. ;) :D

No, I was just joking with you. :o :)

Sadly, this does sometimes end up the case.

I suppose that would be good for most of these sorts of threads. But breaking 15,000 posts is a pretty remarkable accomplishment that I think is okay to share. :)

[DeSnousa]

I don't think we are really questioning mad jew's post count, that's a factor yes, I guess we are thanking him because he has been helpful to a lot of MR members and his post counts are an indicator of this. So thanks MJ :) and thanks to the other members who are helpful :)

[Queso]

I'm just worried that if mj's post rate goes up, MR may have to invent magical future processors to name him by as he overtakes reality :eek:

However, I suppose the amount of posts the term G4 covers will have to be approaching infinity, considering how long Apple had to use it (insert obligitary grumble about Motorola).

[2nyRiggz]

Congrats MJ for being the 1st member to reach the land of "Nothingbetta2do"...I wish you a happy crossover and lots of virgins.


Bless

One thing to note, is that the Mad Jew himself did not start this thread nor bring up the fact that he had passed 15,000 posts.

Rather it was macEfan who started this thread with this post:


I noticed you have 15,000 posts...

well congrats on your posting, and keep it up :D

[Macmaniac]

I think what's amazing is he only posted once in this thread! No replys:eek:
I think Doctor Q should calculate the average post length of MJ, then the truth will be known.

How much time can be wasted on MR, a whole lot!

[sushi]

I think what's amazing is he only posted once in this thread! No replys:eek:
Maybe he's afraid! ;)

You want to know the average lenght of mad jew's post AND you infer that Dr Q might know!!:eek:

[mad jew]

Thanks for all the encouraging comments people. For those who might be interested, my POSTs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-on_self-test) are always exactly the same, thankfully. :p

FWIW, I agree that post count doesn't constitute anything amazing or significant, but thank you all for your various congratulatory remarks, all the same. :)

I'm guilty :o , I started a thread to praise/thank CanadaRam because I had just spent quite a bit of time searching the forums to trouble shoot my PB and was really surprised by the ammount of help was given by him. I could've shot him a pm but at that moment I wanted to shout thanks from the rooftop ;) :)

Stop big-noting yourself mad jew, we all know you're dancing round the room going "I'm teh bestest" while nobody else looks on.

I vote we kill this thread lest mad jew's head gets any bigger and he can't get out the door. And we need him to be able to get out the door, Australia needs its wine people, we need our wine!!!

Now where's me wine?? Ahhh there it is....

[jsw]

I vote we kill this thread...
Seconded.
