In that case, this Important Date would like to challenge you to an explanation. :P

*Mumbles incoherently to his computer screen whilst trying not to throw up in disgust at the mutual back-patting of people with significantly higher post counts than him.*

Oh. Yeah. Good work.

In exchange for a higher post count? It's only a number in a database table, you know...

UPDATE ubb_members SET posts=1000000 WHERE id=3442*whistles*

Edit: Of course you'd still need to haxor the forums to actually do that. But the command looks funny, no? So... simple.

God I love you mathematicians and your...mathy things.

And, Arancaytar, I love you even more!

You know, Aran, your title is somewhat retroactively applicable to your status as semi-regular monthly statistics provider. ;)

But he got it before starting the statistics. So Drakey must have had something else in mind.

Semi-regular? I didn't miss a month yet. :P

Also, this month's stats are in. I'll probably post them tonight.

But programming does use math at certain points or another. But there wasn't so much math in a simple MySQL update as much as reassignment.

I will say, however, that few people ever get to 2000. :D

There are many over 1500 though, and more and more are getting to 1000.

About a month ago you were only 200 posts ahead of me, and when you left for a short time you were only about 160 posts ahead of me when you got back. Since I have slowed down you are about 400 ahead of me…big number, but I'll get to 2000 in about two months, give or take.

I'd rather have my seniority over most members than a higher post count than most members. You can post more than me, but you can't retroactively cause yourself to sign up a few years earlier! :D

Aaaaaa-men, brutha!

Actually one could get a lower number than you, but that would involve hacking into an older account or convincing one of the admins to give you its password.

I gave him a papaya. Then he nailed me in the back of the head with it. It hurt.

Not.

But definitely tonight. Turns out last month's full stats are a mess (I sorted them out when I published the summary, but I didn't save the corrected version), which means I'll have to take the full stats from two months ago and add the top posters ranking from last month. Won't take long. I hope.

:rolleyes:

Wow. I will be kind and congratulate you, ben, but don't expect a congratulatory ferret. Now that you've reached this posting pinnacle, would you consider slowing down just a bit? A little emphasis on quality over quantity would help.

Oh, the database is finished and could be publically used if I had a PHP search page done (for obvious reasons I don't want to give out access to the MyAdmin Panel). As a matter of fact, *this* count worked perfectly, just the data from last month that I need for comparison is incomplete.
