Thread #90000

[Mudbug]

Just figured it was a milestone, so why not point it out. :)

Congratulations MacRumors on over 1 Million forum posts, and over 90000 forum threads. Communities like this don't just happen overnight, so I think every participating member deserves a pat on the back.

[edesignuk]

Well done MR & everyone :D

[emw]

Avatars are fun...Especially juicy ones.

Avatars are a great thing....might be time for me to change mine actually, I try to rotate them about once a week, not sure how long I;ve had this one now :confused:

Wouldn't it be fun if someone came along and rivaled you, edesignuk, for the prettiest avatar of the week...?

No, becasue Keira cannot be beaten! :D :p

[Mr. Anderson]

No, becasue Keira cannot be beaten! :D :p

Its all personal taste.

I'd imagine in a few years it will be some other lovely that "cannot be beaten" which means that she can :p

hehe, I know I know. I'm just messin, the whole thing is really a bit of a joke. Don't take it too seriously :)

...she is fine though...:D

[Mr. Anderson]

Ha! Right! You might be on a soapbox, but you've got her on a very tall pedestal :D

She is nice, though. But I have to say after seeing her interviewed (and this was discussed earlier and iGav agreed with me on this one) that she is a bit, ah, dim in some ways. Not at all like the characters she tends to play.

I think this thread would be a perfect time to look back on thread 500.

oh, how funny retrospect can be.

[Vector]

But what if i came along with another avatar of keira? :)

[Mr. Anderson]

Don't we already have one thread devoted solely to this woman?

Maybe all this discussion should be taken there. Or start another thread so we can get closer to 100,000 threads :rolleyes:

Stupid MF'ers bashing the iPod. :D

I don't see many familiar names though in that bunch, amazing how many 'newbies' have taken this board to a new level.

funny, though. Some of those guys still post infrequently. But that was quite some time ago....before my time.

Newton-Man changed his name to Ensign Paris and has since departed....

I always look back at that thread just to read how many people said that Jobs was retarded and that iPod's would never sell. Amazing how wrong they were...

Wow, that thread is really humorous... it's amazing how wrong people were.

and, btw- when did the "guest" option go away? Because it was certainly gone before I arrived...

[Mord]

dunno but it's a good idea guests never have anything good to say they just trolled about saying macs suck

how do you do that? ive been wanting to change my name...

[yellow]

Sign up again..

[stealthy]

Congrats everyone! :cool:

I'm new to this particular Mac forum, but wanted to offer my congratulations to everyone who brought MacRumors to this goal.

[stoid]

how do you do that? ive been wanting to change my name...

They no longer allow this because it would get too confusing if people kept changing their name all the time. It was ok when there were only a few hundred members, and maybe only a handful of regular posters, But now with over 40,000 members with hundreds posting regularly, it'd be a nightmare.

[Macmaniac]

Glad to hear it, but does this include the wastelanded threads?

[Mr. Anderson]

Glad to hear it, but does this include the wastelanded threads?

Yes. No one starts a thread in the wasteland - they just end up there :D

Its a data base thing, actually. The only time you won't be able to see a thread is if it had been deleted....I imagine that there have only been a hand full over the years though.

wow thats odd reading people saying all that about the original ipod! saying whats the point etc!

[Macs R Us]

Very True... Seems very odd.

[maya]

Great Scott that is a walk through history when considering the tech world. :)

[Dr. Dastardly]

It's now at the online Apple Store!

$400 for an Mp3 Player!

I'd call it the Cube 2.0 as it wont sell, and be killed off in a short time...and it's not really functional.

Uuhh Steve, can I have a PDA now?



HA HA HA HA. OMG to funny!

I love these old threads.

HA HA HA HA. OMG to funny!

We need an MR time capsule or something.

[GeeYouEye]

Maybe it'd be a claim better suited for thread 100,000, but I started thread 1,000!

Yes, I realize nobody cares. :)

EDIT: i just realized how old this thread was... who bumped it and why? More importantly, when'd we hit 100k? :cool:
