Oh, well. so youll be #2 then.
Well I can't possibly be the most 'post spammer' you ever saw because I barely even post anymore besides in-rp stuff. Though I have been posting a little more these past couple days cause I'm.. kinda bored.

Wait. you make a thread about post counts outside of flood where postcount rises & you didn't think people would use it as a +1 free-for-all?
Wow:crazy:
i put a long text into a thread, but the text has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand. plus a few snarky remarks. that gets some heads turning. then you just reply to people who feel the need to argue over the internet all day.
Godwin's law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies or Godwin's Law of Nazi Analogies) is an observation made by Mike Godwin in 1990 that has become an Internet adage. It states: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."[In other words, Godwin observed that, given enough time, in any online discussion'regardless of topic or scope'someone inevitably makes a comparison to Hitler and the Nazis. Godwin's law is often cited in online discussions as a deterrent against the use of arguments in the widespread Reductio ad Hitlerum form. The rule does not make any statement about whether any particular reference or comparison to Adolf Hitler or the Nazis might be appropriate, but only asserts that the likelihood of such a reference or comparison arising increases as the discussion progresses, irrespective of whether it's appropriate or not. Precisely because such a comparison or reference may sometimes be appropriate, Godwin has argued that overuse of Nazi and Hitler comparisons should be avoided, because it robs the valid comparisons of their impact.
Although in one of its early forms Godwin's law referred specifically to Usenet newsgroup discussions, the law is now often applied to any threaded online discussion, such as forums, chat rooms and blog comment threads, and has been invoked for the inappropriate use of Nazi analogies in articles or speeches.
