Who says I'm looking to recover?

On the 12-step program you're at step -1.

You're giving me far too much credit.

It's so comforting that there are at least 50 of you sicker than I am.

edit: apparently I'm number 78. So there are 77 of you sicker than I.

You need to work harder!

The Mad One has been quiet too.

The Mad One has been quite too.

i think you mean "quiet" and yes. we all go through periods of inactivity or we simply move on. its a part of life. it'd be nice to hear from them, but thats not always possible.

Even with my diminishing posts I find time to at least visit MacRumors.

Real life does override this forum, nobody is forced to visit if they have real life to deal with.

"Just like the good ol' days."

The only reason I'm even gaining rank today is that my peers are in a posting deadzone more then I am.

 

[Mord]

No, they're just less *mental* than you are. I brows MR a fair bit day-day and I still float around 3-5 posts a day, you my friend have a serious abundance of spare time.

 

[~Shard~]

Wow, I can't believe I missed this thread! Although I suppose that's somewhat understandable and appropriate based on my decreasing activity on the Forums this past while, as further indicated in these very stats!

As always, great work Doctor Q, I always have found these threads fun and informative. It's always neat to see how the MacRumors membership landscape changes over time. Although I personally plan on being around for the foreseeable future, I don't see myself ever posting like I did a few years ago, so I'm sure I will slowly but surely drift out of the Top 10 in the near future as a new generation of spammers take my place. It's all good though - after all, as we all know, there's more to life than post counts.

Thanks again Q!

 

[MacNut]

Who paid you to say that.

 

[Blue Velvet]

Who paid you to say that.

I did. I paid ~Shard~ in gallifreyan spondoolicks.

 

[rdowns]

^ I miss him. A lot.

Me too. Not that many of us who can give it as well as they take it.

 

[~Shard~]

I did. I paid ~Shard~ in gallifreyan spondoolicks.

And it was soooo worth it.

+10 bastard bonus points to you for your clever Whovian reference by the way.

 

[Eidorian]

I for one welcome our new bot overlord.

I'm not surprised MacRumors bot might show up after all the problems MR has taken care of lately.

 

[MacNut]

Fairly certain the bot has not posted that much.

 

[squeeks]

Fairly certain the bot has not posted that much.

you might be suprised

 

[Malfoy]

I suspect the bot is posting for post count's sake. An investigation and suspension might be in order.

We tried that but he/she/it seems to have higher privileges than arn or anyone else.

So we have a name now? "Mother"

 

[MacNut]

The machines, they are coming to life.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

The machines, they are coming to life.

Indeed. It's a bit like The Terminator, only with slightly inferior special effects.

I went to have a bit of a gawp at the MacRumors Bot on its lofty perch, only to realise that it's actually shunted me off the front page of the Members List. Therefore, I declare it my enemy.
