Who's the moron that posted a "negative" rating for this item??????

Heheh
 
You know it's coming tomorrow!

Glad I could contribute my ~870 posts so far...

And I must say that this is my favorite Mac forum. I've been at quite a few, but none are like this. Everyone is much friendlier than at other sites. I'm glad I'm here.

Agreed... checked em all out.
This is the only daily.
Often multiple times.

Good form.
 
Quite a few more members than I thought... It seems that about 200 members account for half of the posts though. (I just pulled that number out of my ass so don't take it as any kind of hard statistic.) Macrumors is by far my favorite Apple-related website. I'm a much better Mac user today because of the stuff I learnt from the site and its users. Thanks for all the hard work! (And may users one day read the whole thread before adding to one... The good stuff gets diluted when they don't.)
 
Congratulations!!!

Okay, I have to ask... how on earth can people vote this negative?

Were posts asking this question deleted, we'd be at 2.3 million posts.

Negative post voters would rather pay for sex than protect our valient MR soldiers. Negative post voters voted against protecting our valient MR soldiers and voted to fund vistarumors.com. Negative post voters have sex with underage MR moderators. Next Tuesday, we have a choice. Vote for Positive MR posters and make America great again.

I'm rdowns and I approve this message.

The top 50 posters have posted 292,078 times or 9.7% of the posts.

Mad Jew has 19,743 and ~Shard~ has 13,259. Therefore, MJ is about 50% better than ~Shard~.
 
Congrats to MacRumors and Wild Cowboy. And thanks to all the people who put in the hard work to make this site worth coming back to.

Congrats MacRumors and WildCowboy, and a special thanks to Mad Jew and ~Shard~; without them, this milestone would not have been reached... well... ever! :D :p ;)

Thanks [EricNau[/b], I'd like to think myself and mad jew do our part... :eek: ;)

Interestingly, between the two of them, they account for over 1 of each 100 posts made, ever.

Wow. Don't know what to say about that... :eek: ;) :D

Three billion. Wow.

:p

I'm sure I contributed at least 243 million of those.
 
Just goes to show you're all a bunch of spammers. :rolleyes: :p

Yeah. 3 million posts...unless you exclude all of these:

"I just ordered my new [whatever]!!!!! OMG STEVE JOBS!"

"matte or glossy?"

"Windows sucks! Apple is about to climb to 100% marketshare!!!"

...in which case MacRumors just made it to eleven posts.

...then again, it is MacRumors, and we were all n00bs once. And, hell, I keep do keep coming back, after all.

Cheers, MacRumors.


...and if you exclude Multimedia's posts, MacRumors is still in the single digit posts. :p

[Edit: that's not a complaint. I think his are actually some of the more valuable posts on here. They're just abundant.]
 
congratulations to Multimedia, who is responsible for roughly 2 million of the MacRumors posts... :p :)
