Number of postings

[James Park]

Marcus,
I am blown away by the number of posts for today. Must surely be a record. You will probably need to buy more disks.

[Marcus]

HAHA It's been a good day, lots to debate, which is always healthy!
I'm pretty excited about getting close to eth 5000 post mark! We have had almost 100 posts just this week. Well done for hitting 400 posts yourself Jim.

this may interest some people,

http://www.archery-forum.com/phpbb2/statistics.php

it is the stats for the forum. almost 7mb in size!!

[Marcus]

Just did a search and I'm in shock

Posts in last day: 87
Posts in last 7 days: 329
Posts in 2 weeks: 513

Wow. Keep it up guys!!!
:D :D

[Eberbachl]

W :o W

I just had a look at the stats......Archery Forum is rocking! :D

[James Park]

I think we must be over 100 for today by now Marcus!

[mike]

I believe that I made the 5000th post!!!! Wooo HOOOOO!!! (and that makes it 5001) in the 'compound stabilisers' thread!!!!

[Zoe]

Thought I'd do my part to help along your stats Marcus. Speaking of which, just saw your stats link, and was amazed to find that this little fellow didn't get a guernsey :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P (there, that oughta help) So versatile, and rather cute.
In any case, i think it's all time you went to bed!

[Marcus]

:lol: :lol: :P :P :P
Good stuff!! Well done Mike, number 5000!!! Who would've thought it when you first joined up huh???

[Marcus]

****! 135 posts today, and I only checked 90 minutes ago!! :o :o

[Eberbachl]

c'mon dude, you know you're gonna have to check more often than that! :P :P :P

[mike]

Well shucks guys, I don't know what to say...

here's some for the stats (We'll get this ones stats up by shear force)

:P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

and this will ruin the loading time for all the suckers with 56k modems (myself included) :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x

[Marcus]

And in commemeration (is that right?) of him making the 5000th post Mike has a new title, at least for a little while! :)

[Eberbachl]

I thought it looked like you riding by on the little red Honda scooter this morning mike ! :) :)

[mike]

Well, thank you Marcus for such a wonderful title. Little did I know, when I was just a little boy at school, that one day, in the future, I would become the person to make the 5000th post on archery-forum.com. It is quite an honour and a privilege. I have worked hard at this and I am pleased to have achieve my goal. I have to thank my girlfriend for putting up with me over the years of training and to the neighbours cat for biting at my fingers as I type. Without these special people I may never have had the courage to go on in my quest for this special prize.





Now I will have to get to work on a golf or lawn bowls forum.

:P :P

[Marcus]

I suprised you didn't :cry: :cry: Mike

Well at this rate we should hit 10,000 by mid November. No kidding. However the posts are a touch inflated due to certain controversial topics recently. However I'm sure the new bows coming out in October will help out.

That's the goal guys, 10000 posts by Dec 1st!! 8) :evil:

[James Park]

If someone else will log on, we might even get to 6000 today.
:P :P :P :P :P

[Marcus]

Dammit! Need another 12 and I have a visitor tonight!!!! Everyone must be out watching football or something! WHERE ARE PEOPLE'S PRIORITIES!!!!!!! :x :x

[James Park]

Have tried to stir up some arguements, but all the regulars must have visitors, or gone drinking, or are out practicing night turkey shooting, or something. Mike, Zoe, Luke, Paul, Noel, etc, where are you when we need you to get to 6000!!!! :cry:

[James Park]

By my calculation we are now at 6000.
10.50pm

[Marcus]

And a quick search says you have 16 posts today Jim, Looks like we can notch this one up to you! Well done!! :)

[Aarleks]

Damn..................... Can't type quick enough. You beet me to it. :D :D :D :D :D

Congratulations on 6000 Marcus. This is surely one of the best archery forums in the world. You do a great job. Thanks and well done. :D

[Marcus]

Hey and Jim you passed 500 poss tonight!!! Only the 3rd person on this board to get there and the first outside of DVA to do it.
Thanks greatly for your contribution, it's been invaluable! :D

[Steve B]

Marcus, it is great to see the board rockin so damn well, Jim well done on the 500 milestone, if I keep puting inane comments in I might get there as well, at least you can say you did it with technical talk :D .
Once again well done Marcus and to all on the board who contribute to it.

[Eberbachl]

Well done Jim, and welcome to the 500+ club :wink: ...also well done to AF on 6000+ posts (sorry I wasn't here to help :D )

[OldDog]

I hung around till about 10 oclock but i thought every one was in bed so I bailed, Those controversial debates sure push the numbers up dont they, I cant wait for the new bow releases so they can start all over again, cheers everyone. :D :D :D

[Eberbachl]

Wha? Huh? Controversial, us? Nah! Never :wink:

Can't wait for the new catalogue releases either....

[James Park]

You will no doubt all be remarkably impressed that clout is now the equal second most active topic on the forum. Five more posts and it will take over the lead from "reflex bows".

[Eberbachl]

Those two threads are most certainly two of the "all time greats" :D...geez this place is fun :wink:

[James Park]

We have done it - clout is now the most popular topic on the forum!!

[Marcus]

Oh it's a sad state of affairs when Clout becomes popular!

[mike]

i have almost reached 400 posts!!

[mike]

And thats number 400!!

:P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

[James Park]

Marcus,
At the furious rate of postings tonight I think we might get to 7000 in just a day or so.

[Marcus]

Yeah, that would be pretty cool, however it's a good thing it can't tell the difference between intellegent posts and drivel or we'ld be no where near 1000 yet!

Good fun though!

[Marcus]

We are pretty close to 200 for today alone!!!
Proof that TV on Monday nights suck!

[mike]

No, Marcus that isn't what it proves, it says something a lot more disturbing about us and our lives I'm afraid... :roll:

For example, today I got up at 10:30, stuffed around at home, printed a new sight tape for my sight, then went down to the club to shoot for about 4 hours, helped unload strammit for target butts, then went home. had dinner, in front of the computer, and have basically been on the forum since....

what is wrong with this picture I ask the audience... :roll: :roll: :roll:

[Marcus]

You wasted valuable forum time eating? :-? :-?

[mike]

Yeah, sorry, I probably shouldn't even have gone to the club for a shoot :P

Why practise shooting when you can sit in front of the PC and talk about it... :P :P :P

I will make an effort in the future to attend the forum 10 hours a day at least..hang on a minute, I already spend about 12...

:lol:

[mike]

Here's a stat:

Since Sept 11, we have averaged 68 posts per day!!

Impressive, and the new bows still haven't come out...

PSE and HOYT are going to love us...hehehehehehe!!!

[Steve B]

Apart from the great number of posts I see here, (well some are drivel as you have stated but hey who cares it's all fun anyway) I did notice that you appear to be handing around the tossa of the week "Label", I suppose that you shall pass it around to whom you believe to be the biggest tossa and at the end of the year the person that has had it the most gets to have the special label of Tossa of the Year !!!!!!!
I am sure that some our regulars will want to work hard for that Marcus !!!! :o :lol: :o

[Eberbachl]

One thing is for sure Steve, it will take a hell of alot of skill to decide who is the biggest tosser around here :roll: ...plenty to choose from :)

[mike]

Here's a stat:

Since Sept 11, we have averaged 68 posts per day!!

Since we reached 6000, we have been posting at the insane rate of 130 posts per day!!!

What other forum is able to produce drivel at that rate and still manage to include some archery content?


:onfire:

:popcorn: :microwave: :multi: :Fade-color :rocol: :silly: :beer_drink:

[Eberbachl]

...and there's plenty more drivel where that came from! :angel:

[Inner-10]

Drivel seems to be the glue that holds this forum together...........my o my, I love this forum! :D

[mike]

Less than 30 posts until 7000!! I think we will make it today...

Drivel on peoples.........

:bday:

[Eberbachl]

If my memory serves me correctly, that will mean that we have gone from 5000 posts to 7000 in < one month (I think we hit 5000 on 9/9/02 ! :angel: ...we've come a long way in a bit over a year :bday:

Good work :wink:

[mike]

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the 7000th post!!

:o

[Marcus]

Notables too are:

On the 5th of September Luke hit 500 posts and no one else was close. Now:
Luke has 781
Jim Park just hit 600
Paul Malynn has 519
Mike is close with 486

12 users have over 100 posts

In the last month there have been
2128 posts

Marcus: 365
Eberbachl: 268
Mike: 228
Noel Teelow: 224
James Park: 211
Paul Malynn: 180
Gareth: 56
Clever_guy: 48
Zoe: 17 (slacker!) :P

plus others

Last 3 months have seen 4297 posts

So half of our posts in the last 3 months have come in 4 weeks.
We should hit 10000 posts in mid November at this rate.

Good work everyone, you are doing an awesome job making this forum more than just a piece of software running on my server. Users and their contributions make forums great!

[Marcus]

Archery Talk has had about 4900 posts in the last month, however they also have 1010 members, so we are doing half the traffic with one quarter the membership.
Their top poster would be ranked 6th on our board.
Their 10th poster has 238 (me! :) )
Our tenth has 132 (Robert)

We have 85 members who have never posted.
AT has 250 who have never posted

This is not here to say "we are better or in competition with AT", just an example of a company run board vs a non-company run. I would have included one with PSE but their's is having difficulties.

[Eberbachl]

Archery-Forum dot Com ROCKS :morning: :rainbowafro: :bday: :grab: :onfire: :silly:

(...and how did I know Mike, that you would be hanging around waiting to be Mr.7000!)

Perhaps a new title Marcus? :bday: :angel: :bday:

[Marcus]

Maybe for the 10,000th post. I'm not handing his a new title every 1000 posts


students..ppffttt, nothing better to do.

:wink: :lol:

[mike]

Just because I divide my day between the Forum, Shooting and reading about rocks!

Are you saying I have no life????

:roll:

[Marcus]

That's begs the question though, who does have a life?
If you work all day, you have no life
If you study all day, you have no life
If you do both of the above you have no life
If you do one of the above and spend the rest of your time doing a sport you love, you have no life

If you get drunk every night and spend 12 hours a day vomiting and sleeping it off, you have a life.

How does that that work?

[Eberbachl]

Well if that's the way it goes, I'll have no life thanks :wink:

[mike]

and with this post I join the 500 club!!!

Woo Hoo :roll:

what was that about no life???................. :P

hey Marcus, the forum has been going crazy for the last month, I wonder if there has been a lot of PM traffic as well (perhaps the lurkers are just sending PMs)


Zoe suggests that my new title be "Forum Numbers Man" after my ability to get the 5000th & 7000th post as well as get my 400th and 500th post by saying that this is my 400th and 500th post respectively....... :crazyeyes:

[Steve B]

Mike all I can say is well planned and executed to achieve those results
:olympic:

[Eberbachl]

Hey Mr. Forum numbers man, you've got way too much time on your hands :D I just knew when you mentioned this last night that you'd be waiting all day today just to hit number 7000 :angel: :bday: :wink:

[Marcus]

and with that post Luke hits 800!!

How about "Donutboy" cause you have a thing about number with lots of '00' in it. :D

[Eberbachl]

hehe silly me, I didn't even notice :silly:

Donutboy is nice :lol: :lol: :lol:

[clever_guy]

Marcus;

Hmmm...looks like the top poster on At is the #14 poster on ArcheryForum (AF)...

;)

-CG

[Inner-10]

Woopie mike you must be very prowed, but I think spending your life on the archery-forum is living! Ahh good old time well wasted!

By the way WTF is a "tosser"????

[Marcus]

A 'monkey spanker'

[Inner-10]

Ahh, thanks Marcus that clears things up, we normally refer to thoes people as 'wankers'

[Eberbachl]

wanker, tosser, mokey spanker :o :o

:wink: we've got 'em all :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Inner-10]

Now, find a north-american archery forum that discusses different ways to say wanker! This Forum Rules! 0X


Hey cool im promoted to 2nd class, i feel so giddy inside :oops:

[Eberbachl]

W :o W Inner-10...congrats on 50 posts!

....be careful, soon you'll be like Donutboy :lol: :lol: :lol:

[clever_guy]

Inner-10;

A tosser is someone who would ask what a tosser is...

;)

-CG

[mike]

I heard that Luke!!!

:x


:fist:




:agrue:


:bday:

[Eberbachl]

Hehe :fist: :bday: sorry Mike, couldn't resist :angel:

[Inner-10]

Very clever, clever_guy; i guess my meager 50 posts is dwarfed by Mike's :(

[clever_guy]

Don't be sad Inner-10, you can always lock yourself in a room for a month with a couple of kegs of beer, have someone push pizza under the door for you...and concentrate on posting...

;)

-CG

[OldDog]

If that was moosehead beer CG I would join him, that stuff is the only good thing to come out of Canada. :D :D

[clever_guy]

Noel;

You are forgetting hockey and backbacon...

Everyone always forgets backbacon...

;)

-CG

[Inner-10]

Mmmmm backbacon, hey I could go for a pizza with backbacon! Im a genious!, And Noel I assume that you have never tried Sleeman's beer (cream ale in particular).

[Maranoa_Archer]

THIS IS THE 7500TH POST!!!!!!! :D :) :P

Keep up the good work guys!!!

[mike]

well done, Maranoa, but who'll get the 8000th?????

:P

[robbo]

How do you tell whether you have posted number 8000 or 8001? :D :D

:smilecolros: :smilecolros: :smilecolros: :smilecolros:

[Maranoa_Archer]

well ya see robbo i was the only one on the forum at the time and the total posts was 7499 so i posted another one and therefore that would be 7500 :D

[Marcus]

BTW I have a way of determining who did actually post the 10,000th post. I will be keeping a close eye on that one. Sometimes people think they made the enth post but may not have.

[Inner-10]

thanks Marcus, I wouldnt want to let someone down thinking they got the 10000 post, when it was actually me :D :D :D

[robbo]

Geez I've just noticed that I've got 120 posts. I'm amazed that I've learnt
how to dribble s#@t so well.

You guys have taught me well.

When do I get my diploma.

Robbo D.S.D. (Diploma of S#@t Dribbling)

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Eberbachl]

120 posts in 32 days....go Robbo :angel:

[Marcus]

Yep Robbo and Inner-10 have been really keeping up with us well. Thanks guys for your contribution (although I use the term loosely :D )

[mike]

Our collective drivelling talent really hit overdrive after i started that Hoyt 2003 topic. Sheesh!! All I did was put a small little post about the new Hoyt gear... :roll:

They're just bows...he he he... :lol:

[Marcus]

Funny thing is on AT there has been about 25 posts. On here, 90!

[robbo]

107 posts Marcus :D For HOYT 2003

[Inner-10]

robbo, your a machine! :evilbat:

[robbo]

These fellas are a bad influence on me :silly:
..........:lilangel:

[Inner-10]

I think this forum is an addiction :D

[robbo]

I'm heading off for some detox..... :lol:

Any one know where I can find a forum on FAA (Forum Addiction Annonymous). :lol: :lol: :lol:

My name is Robbo and I have a posting problem.......................

:lol:

[OldDog]

You sure do Keep it up and you could be in line for the prestigeous !!!Toss of the week!!! award. What about it Marcus. :D :D :D

[mike]

must get the 8000th post...... :D :evilbat:

[mike]

must get the 8000th post...... :D :evilbat:

[mike]

8000 8000 8000

[mike]

8000 8000 8000

[Marcus]

I should delete them you cheater!!

[mike]

Marcus, I think we need to call a judge on who did the 8000th post... :lol:

[robbo]

We must be getting close to the 8000th post are we?

:evilbat: its mine :evilbat:

[robbo]

Oops sorry thats the Dr Jeckle coming out in me........

:lilangel: :lilangel: :lilangel:

............or was that Mr Hyde?

[Marcus]

OK, I have judged the winner, however I pressed my butt against the target while examining and then removed the face to get a better look first. :lol:

Winner was Mike. Post ID is 21998

Well done Donutboy!

[Eberbachl]

Go Donutboy :D we knew you could do it :lol: :lol:

[Inner-10]

Bravo doughtnutboy, or DB I think he is the most deserving of the Toss of the week award. :D

[Aarleks]

I believe this is the 1900th " :D ".

Well done " :D " on all your hard work. :wink:

[Inner-10]

Damn, dosnt it feel good to be alive :D

[robbo]

Every one must be tired. The forum has slowed down to crawl in the last couple of days. :lol:

:sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping:

[James Park]

Now I would have thought that someone would have tried by now to have the most recent post on every topic. Each post would have to be meaningful to the topics, of course, otherwise it would be too easy.
Mike?

[Marcus]

sorry, I've been pretty busy getting ready for Coffs next week.

[mike]

have tried in the past... :)

actually i have better things to do most of the time...no, really...

[Eberbachl]

Lost count of how many times I walked out of here with the last post on each topic :D

,mind you, not all of them meaningful, and it was in the early days with just a few posters too...a bit more difficult now :wink:

[Inner-10]

Meaningful posts? whats that?

[robbo]

I tried but there's always some who stays up latter than me. I end up falling asleep on the key board. :lol:

[Eberbachl]

Hehe :D Haven't we all done that!

(at least I know I have :roll: )

...more than once - in fact nearly every night :)

By the end of the night I've got about a dozen browser windows open, on topics ranging from archery to RC Car racing :D

Whoever said, he who dies with the most toys wins, must have had me in mind!

:bday:

[robbo]

I should have gon to bed long ago, I need plenty of sleep. It's along drive to Coffs Harbour. Got to leave about 4:00 AM Friday :sleeping:

[Inner-10]

I normally go to sleep when im at the delireious stage :fadein: :fadein: :fadein:

[Marcus]

Sleep! Ppffftt. What a waste of 8 hours of your day. I once worked with a guy who slept 3 hours a night, lucky bastard!

[Inner-10]

I once worked with a guy who slept 3 hours a night

Ever come to thing he slept during the day? :wink:

[robbo]

When I was in my late teens and 20's 4- 5 hours per night was plenty. Now 8 hours is not enough. :P

[2Dogs]

Actually I'm getting into the bad habit of staying up to 3 to 4 in the morning...................then up again at 6 when the boy wakes.

In the we hours our overseas friends tend to post so it ends up being a 24/7 kind of addiction. :D

I'm off to Coffs around lunchtime, should get there early evening 6 or 7 pm.

See you guys there

[Marcus]

Last thing I do is post
first thing I do is post
Any chance I run upstairs and check.

We'll be getting in about lunchtime. That means that Paul we get to delegate your sleeping area.

If you are lucky it may be inside. :lol:

[2Dogs]

haha! :D ................I'm leaving NOW

[James Park]

Which day do you predict for the 9000th post? How about the 10000th post?
I pick 27/10 for the 9000th, and 12/11 for the 10000th.
Perhaps Mike and I can make hay while the sun shines when all you lot are off shooting 3D - and we (probably Mike) can claim the 9000th.
(Of course when I say "while the sun shines" that will be in Melbourne, and at Sherbrooke for the State Field specifically, while it probably rains at Coffs).

[Marcus]

Paul, if you drive as fast as you think you should have left in April. :P

Jim, good question.
I agree with the 9000, will take longer than it should have because this is such a busy weekend.
The 10000 post will come in around the 10th of Nov.

9000 28th of Oct
10000 10th of Nov

[James Park]

I think Mike's keyboard must be broken - been logged on for ages but no posts. What gives Mike?

[mike]

Nobody noticed that my 600th post went by :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Marcus]

Nobody noticed my 100th to 1800th post go by.

Maybe when you hit 1000.

[2Dogs]

Paul, if you drive as fast as you think you should have left in April.


Ha!.............. :D I.............d....o....n...'...t................. .....k....n............o....w..............w...h.. ..a....t.....................y....o..u............ m...e........a...n

[2Dogs]

Nobody noticed my 100th to 1800th post go by.

That's because 100 to 1700 was fixing all the bugs :D :wink:

[Eberbachl]

:bday: congratulations Mike on 600 POSTS!!! :bday:

...does that make you feel any better? :wink:

[2Dogs]

funny how the forum lights up between 11:00pm and 1:00am.................don't you guys have lives...or wives :D

[Eberbachl]

Hehehe :D It's sad isn't it!

...al I've got to look forward to tomorow is a plane trip!!! Yay! :bday:

[Inner-10]

Nobody noticed that my 600th post went by

So cry about it mike. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Aarleks]

It's like a ghost-town here today. :o

I think Coffs has claimed half the forum!!

[James Park]

Yep, I think it is going to be a bit dead for the weekend.
I still think it will be 27/10 for the 9000th post (they will not be able to constrain themselves when they get back from Coffs).
It looks like the weather for the Victorian State Field Championships is going to be ugly - hopefully in Coffs they get a bit better.

[Zoe]

Man this place is dead....

Mike's at work, I'm manning ('personing' :roll: ) the forum in his absence...he promised me it'd be exciting :( .

IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT FOR TRUBALLS SAKE!!!! Got nothing better to do than rectify my abismal posting tally....I mean I'm not even 30 (that is when life ends isn't it???) and this is my "night out" tonight :( (damn those 8:30 tournament starts)

What's so good about Coffs Harbour anyway....

anyway, must go and take half a bottle of Vitamen C tablets in preparation for the weekend... :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Zoe]

I was looking at my previous post...Idon't think that's how you spell abismal...it looks funny



...God i'm bored :roll:

[Zoe]

Ooooh....now "vitamen"'s very dodgy...

attention to detail people :o


(I think I can make it to 100 posts tonight as I slide down the slippery slope of dyslexia [is that how it's spelt...sorry...spelled?])

[James Park]

No, I think it must be abbyssmale (sorry, abbysunisex). (I am bored too).
No, upon considerable reflection, it should be "abbeysnewter".

[James Park]

Zoe,
I think I have concluded that we must be the boring end of the forum - not a single provokative post since we have been logged on. It must be the 3D sect that stir the most. Personally, I don't really know what a 3D target looks like.

[Zoe]

I think Marcus is to be congratulated for his community spirited nature - providing a 'safehouse' for the globally bored to congregate en masse (I believe a similar motivation was behind the construction of the Upwey train station).

Incidentally, it struck me today (I was bored at work too), that Mr. Howard must know nothing of ArcheryForum. If he realised the amount of sh*t (aka methane - incidentally 20 times more damaging than CO2 - cos you really wanted to know that) that is spouted on this forum, along with the copious amounts of hot air produced - then he would have no hesitation in ratifying the Kyoto protocol....
I can see the strategy paper now:

ACTION: limit greenhouse gas emissions to 108% of current emissions by 2010
MEASURE: close down "archery forum"
RESULT: better environment, better relationship with EEU and Pacific Rim nations, and about 280 more people congregating around Upwey train station.



....still bored

[James Park]

Zoe,
I have an X10, your length, size 700. Want to see if it works with your bow? (You probably need a size 900, but I don't have one of those).

[Zoe]

putting on my anti-disleckssya hat for a minute: "provokative" looks rather dodgy jim, unless you're of Russian extraction in which case you're excused...(although good to see you didn't say "manly, i dont really know what a 3d target really looks like" [BTW i wonder if you have to shoot them with special blue and red glasses]).

[James Park]

Actually, I should have said "pernewterly" I suppose (although I am sure it should be spelt some other way.
I think there must be some way to use red and blue glasses to both put off the opposition and to guage distances for 3D archery (whatever that is).

[Zoe]

I think 3D archey may be like "Clayton's" hunting (if you remember the ad camaign) - sorta like 'the stuff you kill when you're not killin' stuff'...don't know...could be wrong....

btw you've thrown me with that pernewterly comment...no doubt it'll dawn on me at 3:00am

[James Park]

"pernewterly" as distinct from the gender-specific "personly". I suppose you could use "perdaughterly"?
Come to think of it, I should be allowed to use "personly".

[Zoe]

if Paul wasn't busy with Coffs duties he'd probably write something tasteless like "persprogly"...

I, on the other hand, would never resort to that level...

Anyway Jim, what is with "personly" (as opposed to 'personally'). Have you been lurking on those North American forums again??? what way does your toilet flush dude?

I have an X10, your length, size 700. Want to see if it works with your bow?

yes, it'd be interesting to see how it group tunes.....


sorry, bored again, seroiusly do you mean an X10 as in one?...mind you i could use the exercise...

[James Park]

I have "an" X10, as in "one of" at your length. Actually, I have about 20 X10's size 700 of various lengths, mostly quite a bit longer than your length. Most of them have a shaft length of 25.5", with a small number at around 27".
"The" X10 will probably group test really well. However, shooting a FITA with it would be rather a challenge.

[Bruce]

You two must be very very bored .

You should try 3 D sometime Jim , I find it ok but very hard to judge distance on after looking at flat paper targets most of the time it usually takes me around half a round to really start picking them , the first half I usually jag a few more by good luck than good management .

[Inner-10]

Geeze, Jim you and Zoe must be even more bored then I am! :sleeping:

[James Park]

Yes, we were bored. About the deadest I have ever seen the forum - I think all the stirrers must be at the 3D competition.

[2Dogs]

What's so good about Coff's Harbour?????? just ask Luke and Marcus about "Dolly" the blow up sheep when they get back.

I just got back, and had a great time shooting with them.

I told Marcus that he'd most likely have a lawsuit from Hoyt when he got back over the recall thingy :D :D :D

The guys are still there til tomorrow doing the touristy thing

[James Park]

Folks, I predicted that we would get to 9000 posts today (and we will, even if I need to post the next 42 of them). Must be some real interesting things from the weekend of 3D?

[mike]

No, Jim, you said it would be yesterday, I quote:

Yep, I think it is going to be a bit dead for the weekend.
I still think it will be 27/10 for the 9000th post
No cheating, no editing of posts....

[James Park]

Oops, slipped (I really did mean Monday)!! :oops: Just goes to show that engineers cannot count or read calendars.

[Marcus]

12 minutes for 7 posts jim!!!

[James Park]

I am waiting for Mike to get online and make a few quick posts to claim 9000.

[Marcus]

9000 :D

[Inner-10]

Geeze, im starting to think we'll get to 10000 well before Dec :)

[robbo]

It sure is quiet around here tonight :sleeping: :sleeping:

[James Park]

Some time ago I predicted 12/11 for the 10000th post. However I note that we are getting rather close for comfort to ensure that my prediction come true. Hence, all posting are banned for tomorrow.

[Steve B]

Sorry about this Jim , but I think we need to keep things rolling along, It's great to see that this forum is used so much, even if Half is drivell and Bulls*&t, but that is what makes this home for so many archers isn't it 8)

[Steve B]

Marcus , is your Mac stupid, can't it tell daylight saving time ??????

[Marcus]

My Mac is above daylight saving time petty mortal! :evilbat: :fist:

[Steve B]

Bwahahahaha, couldnt resist the jab :P

[Marcus]

I think we will have to halt posts. Only 58 to go. Prhaps I shall delete drivel till it's correct.

Question is, who will get 10000?

[Marcus]

And this should be number


10000 :bday: :bday: :bday: :rainbowafro: :splat: :onfire: :popcorn: :2gunfire: :beer_drink: :boobies: :boobies: :silly:

Ha, that l' be the day! :lol:

[Marcus]

What's the estimation to get to 20000 posts. Keep in mind it took us around 15 months to get 10000.

I will say Feb 27th 2003

[robbo]

I will say about 11th March 2003 for our 20 000th post!

But I may revise this later. :wink:

[Inner-10]

Marcus, how much has the posting freequency increased over the past 15 months?

[Marcus]

1st Year: 1424 posts
Last 6 months: 9011, that's a 1265% increase in posts.

[Inner-10]

Ooooo, not bad, if these trends continue for years to come I'd say we will get to 20 000 in no time flat. :D

[Maranoa_Archer]

I think that this week alone we have done approx. 500 post :o 8) :bday:

We are fairly cruising 8) before we know it the Mighty 20,000 will be in our grasps!!! :evilbat:

Maranoa_Archer
Just make sure you don't go into the paratroops '3RAR' cause you have to have a proctologist remove your own boots from your butt after the heavy landings :D :D

cheers :D

[James Park]

Noel,
You obviously never sleep.
- I get tired at some late hour of the night and give up on the forum, but you were still logged on.
- I wake up early and log on to the forum, and you are still there.
You must have figured out some way of getting the equivalent of sleep by sitting in front of your computer all night.

[OldDog]

just got here myself JIm, I.m going to be pretty much out of the loop for the next month or two as this is the busy time foe me, so i'm makin chat while the sun shines, that Zoe's too darn clever by half isnt she?? :D

Speaking of blinding, GET SOME SUN Marcus! Geeze the glare coming off your pasty white face in a photo on the web is making me squint...I didn't think cadavers were that pasty in Oz...

...Unless you are a Goth, I mean if you are a Goth then I guess I have to compliment you on your use of pancake makeup...

;)

[Marcus]

I don't have the vanity to be a goth, but I agree with their adversion to sunlight, and black is good, yes. You should see the dog-collers my wife use to wear. mmmm pant bark

PSE Forum: 643 posts 13th (slipping a bit, have not posted as much recently)
Archery-Talk: 386 posts, 10th
Easton Archery: 1 post (I think, maybe 2)

[2Dogs]

Way to go Mike!!!

Isn't this forum dead.....everyone's on holidays I think

[mike]

Yep, too busy getting sloshed and watching the cricket methinks....

I admit to doing exactly that on boxing day...

In fact, were in not for the fact that I have to work at Safeway (woolworths, in their bottleshop no less) in the evenings I would probably be in a lot worse shape!!!!
:beer_drink:

[Marcus]

I've ben too busy trying to fix a problem I caused on the mail server. Have not even shot in a few days. :(

[2Dogs]

We were all wondering what you did to the server.......it's been up and down all over the last too days...............figured you had too much Christams cheer

[Marcus]

I was trying to improve the mail server aspect, and toasted it. Took me a good 8 hours to get it back online. Still trashed from it yesterday. Should be fine now

[Maranoa_Archer]

Master....r

Sorry, deleted your multiple posts in the juniors section, back to first class you go.

[Dave Barnes]

Thats some beautiful work Marcus.

If only i had the power i would have done that a long time ago.

Keep up the good work.

[Marcus]

Power is there to be abused! :2gunfire:

[Dave Barnes]

How do i get some of this power?

[Marcus]

I'll give you that kind of power for $200 a month. Maybe $180 a month if you pay a year up front.



Power costs.

:o

[Dave Barnes]

How about i'll just give you a dollar for every maranoa_archer post that you delete?

[Maranoa_Archer]

Yeah marcus in the Junior section it kept on saying some weird stuff after i tried to post and i didn't realise to later on that it actually did post. I said stuff about it in 'postin problems'

[Maranoa_Archer]

Back to 300 i go!!! :D

[Maranoa_Archer]

Don't go deleting my posts now.

I have put in a lot of time and hard work to deliver such brilliant messages to the public.

I think i am goin insane!!! :o

[Maranara_Archer]

Hello again my half Zulu half aztec ancestor.

brilliant messages to the public.

Where abouts are the brilliant ones? I think i might be going blind

[CMB50]

How about i'll just give you a dollar for every maranoa_archer post that you delete?

:rofl: Yeah, i'll throw in a dollar too!! LOL

j/k

[Clare Barnes]

Its looking good Marcus - potentially $600 so far for the push of a button :o :lol:

[Marcus]

I might split it with him and get him to post drivil for about 6 months and really cash in!!
