i know this has been done before. but i want to tell all of you how much i love you! it's crazy to think that i have been on these forums for my entire adult life. i know i come and go, and i rarely get a chance to talk to most of you. but this community means the world to me. you've been one of the few stable things in my life. i love that every time that i am sad, or need advice on boy problems, or want to celebrate something that's made me super happy... you are there. if i am just bored to death at work, i have you to make it better. i am the person i am today because of you internet people - it's ridiculous to what extent you have all influenced my life.

<3!

love love LOVE you all

The last version of this thread is still on the first page...

Metope · « **Reply #3 on:** 25 Jun 2010, 12:17 »

My guess is this because it has a similar name and they're both sorta about love maybe? But hey, it's love! Every thread should be about love.

I don't know if you're talking about me, but glad I could be of service.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #11 on:** 30 Jun 2010, 12:27 »

I have spent over a month of real time logged into this forum.
That is 30 days I could have spent with real people.
But instead I chose you!
And some of you turned out to be real after all.

I love you guys too.

Total time logged in: 38 days, 19 hours and 47 minutes.

I don't mind though, you guys are my best friends.

Eris · « **Reply #15 on:** 30 Jun 2010, 17:08 »

246 days 7 hours and 30 minutes!

I will have to celebrate when I hit a year.

Also, I love you guys because if I didn't have you I would be a very sad and lonely person. Thanks for keeping me happy, guys!

Ballard · « **Reply #16 on:** 30 Jun 2010, 17:47 »

44 days, 6 hours, 45 minutes.

I like to justify this by the fact that I have the forums open in a tab a lot of the time even when I'm not actively browsing them.

But who am I really kidding?

sean · « **Reply #17 on:** 30 Jun 2010, 20:10 »

dude gene dont even worry i dont post that much (do i?) but i straight up have 78 days logged in.

but yeah you guys are chill so its not even a thing.

That's right, nobody cares about postcount anymore, it's all about total time logged in baby.

onewheelwizzard · « **Reply #22 on:** 30 Jun 2010, 20:45 »

I'm a few hours away from 59 days.

Now, I KNOW I've had a tab with the forums open in my browser for weeks straight at a time, so I'm going to assume that it only counts when you're actively around. So the number is both surprisingly low, in its own way, and surprisingly high (although, averaging a post and a half a day for the last 5 years gives it some perspective).

Jeez, 3 posts every 2 days for the last 5 years?

Y'all deserve some credit. Thanks for making me feel at home here.

tania · « **Reply #23 on:** 30 Jun 2010, 20:49 »

i'm at 59 days, 23 hours and 34 minutes, but i think a lot of that is also related to how many days i have opened up a tab and went to qc and then totally forgotten about it all day and not posted anything.
then again, roughly 2-3 of the 5 years i have been here were spent in some sort of "this sucks, i'm quitting the forum again" phase so this is still a much higher and sadder number than i expected. i guess i need a life.

KvP · « **Reply #24 on:** 30 Jun 2010, 23:21 »

Christ I have beaten you by almost exactly 2 weeks.

Lummer · « **Reply #25 on:** 01 Jul 2010, 00:48 »

I'm still the noob here, I see. 24 days.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #26 on:** 01 Jul 2010, 00:52 »

45 days, 6 hours, 34 minutes. I bet it counts it if you are actively using the browser, regardless of whether you are using that particular tab. Because otherwise, it wouldn't be anywhere near that high.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #27 on:** 01 Jul 2010, 01:29 »

I'm not sure what it says about me that I have far less hours logged than a lot of the regulars but about 3 times as many posts

(65 days 12 hrs, for the record)

Metope · « **Reply #28 on:** 01 Jul 2010, 06:40 »

Crap, 81 days, 19 hours and just over 800 posts? Seriously? I know I keep tabs open for days though, so that must be it.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #29 on:** 01 Jul 2010, 09:03 »

27 days, 22 hours and 3 minutes. Wow. I felt like that was a lot. Thanks for making me feel like less of a shut-in!

Johnny C · « **Reply #30 on:** 01 Jul 2010, 09:10 »

I apparently make one post per seventeen minutes of logged-in time or so

Thomas Edison · « **Reply #34 on:** 01 Jul 2010, 10:30 »

Apparently I've only made 6 threads.

Bear in mind that it's only been tracking time logged in since we switched forum software a few years ago. Otherwise, between my postcount and time logged in that would mean there's an average of 7 minutes between my posts.

However that also means a calculation like johnny's of minutes per day is going to be a lowball, and my calculator says I've been averaging an hour a day. please please please may I have done my math wrong

Love thread turns into "What am I doing with my life?" thread. Movie at 11.

I guess this is the 'farewell MaiAda' thread then? Well, farewell MaiAda, I hope the bigger and better things leave you with a life of satisfaction. I am of the opinion there's not a mean thing at all that can truthfully be said about you, so Good Things are what you deserve.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #41 on:** 01 Jul 2010, 22:52 »

That's too bad! I really liked Mai. She gave me one of those cheap bracelets back in Chicago and so sad was my sense of fashion, so drab was my style, that it did not leave my wrist for... well, anywhere from 4 to 8 months. It would've stayed there longer, but it started to smell like a hippie. I would've had a definite time on that, but it was on Mai's facebook page, which I can no longer access. But it was awhile, believe you me.

I remember when I first met her I didn't know how to pronounce her name. I thought it was "My-aid-ah" but it turned out to be "May-ah-da", and that took some getting used to. Memories!

I'm sorry I didn't get to know her better but then, at this point I don't really know if I'll be seeing anyone from the internet again. Anyway, I hope she comes back at some point... If she ends up making use of her IR degree, I would very much like to know how she did so. And if it turns out to be "by being a pretty girl" I'm going to be sore.

I'll leave you all with my favorite Maiada quotation. Maiada, the Twee Terror, Captain A-rab, the Girliest Gabbler. In memoriam.

Ptommydski · « **Reply #44 on:** 02 Jul 2010, 11:43 »

That makes her sixteen.

You guys it's ok, the forums still have a May (and I spell my name the right way!).

I am still wearing the bracelet that Emilio gave me in Chicago, it's getting on for a year now. Doesn't smell or anything, and hasn't started fraying yet so I can imagine it holding out for at least another year.
