I was thinking maybe organize something, maybe a contest, to celebrate the upcoming 1,000,000 FWS will be reaching? :p

Something like what WHT has done? ;)

[stuffradio]

I think it would be a great idea if the members of FWS gave all the staff $1,000 each to celebrate the 1000 posts!

I agree, but only if 75% of this goes to me :)

We weren't staff then, but for the 1,000,000th, they could give us $1 per post :banana: Actually 1GBP would better!

* Jan bumps the staff discussion on this

[sep]

Free fudge for all members with the word Fudge in their username.

[.Andy]

Maybe a cash prize for the person who makes the million dollar post?

[[DWH]Yuxuan]

Or maybe the day that the 1,000,000th post will be written can be marked on the FWS calendar forever, to be celebrated every year by FWS members with lots of drinking and merry making.. Thus, creating a holiday called Christmas.

Or maybe just a congratulatory thread stickied on General Discussion for the person who makes the 1,000,000th post?

Maybe 3 bars Extra rep + Bold username + sticky in the advertizing thread for one month

Me thinks that will cause a lot of spamming by the hosts on this forum.

Can't afford another infraction for 26 lines. (lol just kidding)
I dont think so hell for all we know the millionth post mite be from a mod or janor peo. LIkely hood is it would be.

[fnixws]

Whats thats?

Party at Hamsters to celebrate the 1million post mark?

All 79,079 Members invited?

SWEEET!!!!

[hamster]

Feel free to fly over to my very own FreeWebSpace island located off the coast of Australia. A Mach 6 JetPlane flight will be scheduled to take off at Sydney when the 1millionth post mark is reached :D

[fnixws]

Nobody will come, you forgot the most important element

FREE BEER!!! :beer:

[hamster]

You know those carlsberg advertisments with the cool train compartments with awesome beer, I got one of those personalised :P

[AMC]

Hate to put a dampner on this - but we are over 42 thousand posts away :P double the LTE :P. However, for the 1 million post I suggest we actually have this meetup everyone was talking about a while ago (that gives us maybe a year ? ) And then free drinks on the staff :P My suggestion is we go - london, new york,Sydney or something along those lines.

[hamster]

Damn.... I won't be able to get to anywhere near that part of the world lol :P You can always send me an eCoke ;)

[fnixws]

The millionth post should me made live online from the meet :P
in MELBOURNE of course! :P

[themoose]

Damn.... I won't be able to get to anywhere near that part of the world lol :P You can always send me an eCoke ;)

..I'm not sure that's what he meant about "free drinks" :p.

[Skylar]

I'd need an eCoke too then /sigh

[iBrightDev]

maybe you can snort some eCoke, or smoke some eWeed. :P

[SC-Daniel]

FREE BEER!!! :beer:

Ergo loads of fun proving the last bit :D

I agree Jan, it is a great idea!

Hm... maybe a ml per post!

[hamster]

if m = micro then I'm all for it ;)

[themoose]

Means mili.. 570ml would be a pint ;)

[Decker]

That's 15 and a bit pints here :D

Do for starters!

[AMC]

Do a pint per 100 posts - although that still puts Jan in serious trouble :P

[.Andy]

Free ads. Free Bold Username would be ncie!!

[Darknight]

I have a free bold username :p

[sep]

Increase the bold username thing to being member for 5 years and have 5,000 posts in celebration of this.

[.Andy]

But then you wouldn't be bolded?

[Skylar]

I have a free bold username :p

I'm very very close.. I can almost taste it.

[hamster]

I need that bolded name too -_-

[Cam.]

I'm very very close.. I can almost taste it.

Then you can join us bold members in TTR :angel:

[hamster]

TTR? Maybe I'll find out what's that soon...

[Decker]

Funnest place in town :D

[sep]

But then you wouldn't be bolded?

Sacrifices have to be made

[hamster]

Ok that's it, I really gotta get there soon -_-

[Skylar]

So close... Somebody make a thread that I can post in over and over to get the 75ish posts I need still

[hamster]

Bleh, still need 300+ posts to go... why didn't I post more before?

[Decker]

[Skylar]

Too bad the post count doesn't go up in there >.<

[Decker]

Gotch :lol:

[hamster]

I think Jan should remove the "Does not count to users' post counts" for that section :P Everyone will get a post count blast ;)

[Decker]

Can you imagine the hammering it would get :lol:

[Skylar]

I wouldn't mind. I need 74 more posts :P

[Dynash]

Just what we need. Spam

[JohnN]

im personally hoping peo does a post prune;)

[Dynash]

I'm considered a spammer here? :eek2:
I just post a lot of forums I enjoy visiting.

This forum requires that you wait 45 seconds between posts. Please try again in 10 seconds.

*taps foot impatiently* hurry up!

Skylar you're much closer to TTR (whatever it is) than me.... I WANNA KNOW WHAT'S TTR!!!

[Skylar]

Nope, it's 10x better than premium membership at WHT because:
1. You get TTR access (:D)
2. It's free
3. You get a BOLD title
4. You can change your custom title whenever you want ;)

[Jan]

Andy, let's compete ;)
Please don't :devious2:

Any more bright suggestions?

[Dynash]

Set off a firework or two? That's always nice to see.
Say, one in each continent.

[Darknight]

When you get TTR'ed you get to see decker in a kilt.

Anyway yea, I really have no idea :|
Hopfully someone will come up with a good idea..

[Decker]

When you get TTR'ed you get to see decker in a kilt.

Stop trying to put them off :P

How about FWS tshirts and a drunken night with webcams :lol:

[hamster]

OMG stop talking about TTR!!!

[Skylar]

*stops posting* Just kidding... I'd hope not, that would be rather scary :P


Edit: 50 more posts :D:D:D

[iCorp]

How about make a 1 million theme :) for the forum. Hehe funky theme and put a live chat for a party live.

[hamster]

Yea why don't we have a FWS chatroom or IRC of some kind?

[Electrism]

That sounds like a good idea. Let's have 2000+ members go into the same chatroom! :D

How come you two always have the same IP? :devious2:

You want a chatroom, go make one for yourself ;)

[hamster]

Hi Jan, Electrism is my classmate and rest assured that we're not the same person. He's my partner at ZendFree and we both use the same ISP in Singapore called SingNet. Go check it out yourself if you want to.

Singapore's IP ranges isn't very large, so it's quite normal for our IPs to be very similar ;)

[Skylar]

You actually do... :p

I have like 32 posts to go or something.... And I'm not so sure I want to get to 1000 posts anymore.. I would be scarred for life... lol

I can vouch for him on that. The IP ranges in most Asian countries aren't very large compared to countries like the United States (and so on).

[Electrism]

Yep, we're definitely not the same person. :)

The small IP range is irritating at times. You can never use rapidshare/megaupload etc as a free user cos apparently, I'm always "downloading a file". Slappable.

[hamster]

You can also notice the personality differences and the different likings of smileys we use ;)

[Electrism]

lol, you may notice that I don't use the wink smiley unless absolutely necessary. ;)

Guys, come to the UK ;) Free beer/food/entertainment at my house, should hold you all, well..... :lol:

[Dan]

Jan, I can vouch. I host zendfree and have spoken to both.

Thanks Dan, so now back onto the topic of something to celebrate 1 million posts?

I was under the impression that it was about TTR and seeing Decker in a kilt?!??!?!?!?! hahahaha...



Adz... don't make me take you up on that, I'll fly to the UK lol

[hamster]

Free air tickets and I'm in :p

[Skylar]

heh I never said I'd pay for myself.. Adz pay for me :)

Revival of this thread? :P

[stuffradio]

Lets keep on topic! haha

I wonder what other forums have done when they reach the 1 million post mark.

[Dini]

There's no need to be all together to drink. Let's just get wasted in front of our respective computers and post isht to honor the 1000000th post

[stuffradio]

Man walks in to bar and orders 10 bottles of whisky.

Bartender: What's the occasion?
Man: Freewebspace.net got 1 million posts!
Bartender stands there in confusion...

[[DWH]Yuxuan]

So uh... I thought it was about time to bring up the topic of this thread again.. We are very close to 1mil posts.

[hamster]

Well, we were very close a few months ago too :P

Anyway, yea so any suggestions?

[[DWH]Yuxuan]

Well.. now we're even closer! Around almost 3000 more posts. And uh.. no suggestions, so I thought it'd be cool to throw this into the air and see how it flies.

[LaptopFreak]

I guess we are reaching it in a few days..

[stuffradio]

It all depends on what kind of things we can do...

I wouldn't mind seeing an active revamp with the new site (what's going on there?) being launched and some serious promotion being put into the site, it just isn't as active as it used to be. Just my $0.02

[hamster]

How about inviting Giancarlo back?

[Jan]

I just sent an email to strong bad about it.
Pardon? :knockedou

[DarkBlood]

Pardon? :knockedou

Yep, I did.

Dear Strong Bad,

A website I frequently visit is going to be turning ten this year, and a bunch of the members there are brainstorming what to do for a celebrating type thing. If you could give us some of your wisdom, I would be eternally grateful.

From,
Izek, WI.

[Blank Verse]

How about inviting Giancarlo back?

I have a theory that GC has probably been amongst us since he got banned here all those years ago. Posing in the guise as another member, maybe one not extreme as he was. Impossible? Of course not. Improbable? Most certainly. Do I care. Certainly not. Think about it, Giancarlo himself is unfathomable as a real person. So staunchly Republican, openly gay, nuclear meltdown temper, a teenager with absolutely no clue about the nuances that revolve around an everyday teenager. Could that not have been an act?


Anywho, ---- it.

A million posts is cool. I think we should hold off on celebrating for a couple of years, for a 10 year FWS on vBull anniversary (seeing as I don't even know when the original FWS on cgiboard was released, but it goes as far back as at least 1999). There could be a subsection opened up on the FWS main site, and we could do video tributes, maybe some fancy Flashwork, a retrospective on some of the best moments on the forum, and a lifetime achievement award to Blank Verse.

In short, let's go Academy Awards on this mother----er.

Celebrate good times come on!

I think we need the new site layout, that is a MUST. We need a decent forum skin to match the new layout when we get it. And on the exact day of the 10th birthday, every user online gets a special username colour for 3 months :D

SHUT THE ---- UP WITH THE LAYOUT CHANGES.


We've gone 8 years looking the way the site does because the content is second to none. The site and the layout simply work.

Seriously, there's a reason why there are a million requests for layout changes that are promptly ignored.
