About 250 images, chosen from randomly by a rewrite function in Apache - see here.
(Actually, since then I've made it a two-stage lookup, to get over a bug when the lines in the file listing the images get too long - it still fits in two lines, though.)

I am more concerned about the "coprophage". Is that for shock effect, or is there a deeper meaning?
Pilchard123:
It's a post count-based title. Anyone with 7000-7999 posts has it. 8000-9999 is "Mayan calendar conspirator" and 10000+ is "DICKFISH". There may or may not be higher levels, I'm not sure.

The logic of Narrative Necessity.
Would QC be QC if Marten got into a stable "and they all lived happily ever after" situation? Would QC be able to carry on with its emotional dramas if the main character essentially bowed out from the emotional melodrama? I think it would, but it would be a catastrophic (as in sudden discontinuity) change of direction.
I would like to see Marten actually win first prize, after all the poor guy's been through over the years. For that matter, I'd like to see all the characters eventually win big. Hanners healed, Marigold out of her shell... but unless new characters are introduced, that would be the end of QC.
Some Soap Operas manage it. The departure of Ena Sharples did not mean the death of "Coronation Street" though it was never the same again.
BTW one of the few series older than "Dr Who"...

This has happened once before with Dora. To show the passage of time we see her try to grow her hair out without dying it. So we skipped about a year of Martens's life to see the "juicy parts." It was the same for Wil and his American Tour but he and Penelope fell off the earth after their happy ending.
We may see the end of QC but I think Jeph has a lot of story still to tell and I can't see him starting a new project.

If I were admin, I'd make anyone with 1,000,000 posts "Jeph", but have it hidden so nobody knew until they reached it (which I'm pretty sure would never happen).

If I recall correctly, that is not her name, and she's quite insistent about it. Corsair calls (called? It's been a long time) her that, because of her resemblance to Mam'selle Hepzibah, who was Pogo's lady friend in (of course) "Pogo".
