*watches all the landmines detonate*

 

That should solve your problem.

[Toy and Minion]

I missed page 1000?  :'(

 

Oh well.  Next 1000, I won't miss.

[Barmacral]

You've got 2 months or something like that to get the next 1000 pages. Best of luck.

[Toy and Minion]

why? 

[Barmacral]

Because somewhere in that timeframe (give or take some months) we'll be moving to DM8 and this thread won't be carrying over.

[Toy and Minion]

Why not?  That's lame.  How many other Fiddles threads won't be carrying over?

 

They should postpone until they find away for every thread to carry over.

 

Yes, I'm whining.

[cosmicpanda]

Quick! We need another 1000!

[reyler]

Uh.

 

How exactly did that one get determined?

[Toy and Minion]

Yeah...?

[mmeeshal]

Spam it fast!

[Barmacral]

Nothing is carrying over. No threads at all. Post counts will be starting fresh.

[Toy and Minion]

Who made that brilliant decision?

[mmeeshal]

Yer mum.  That was my initial response.  Now, think of how much work creating DM 8 must be, without having to transfer post counts and old threads. It sucks for us, but it would be much worse for someone else if we got our wish regarding posts and threads.

[Toy and Minion]

We did it the last...couple times.

[mmeeshal]

So? :P

[Toy and Minion]

My point is, why not now?  Why must we start all over now?

[mmeeshal]

I am under the impression that DM has grown and evolved a lot, and to add in all the stuff that was formerly kept on off-site boards, DM 8 is looking to be huge. More work than before.

[Toy and Minion]

Bah!  They could do it if they wanted to.

[mmeeshal]

:P YOU try it...

[Toy and Minion]

I would, if they gave me the powers to.

[mmeeshal]

I believe you really would make an effort, too. I would be too lazy, myself.

[Toy and Minion]

What pisses me off most about this, is that they do it all the time.  Take away from our post count.  They only recently had re-added Fiddlesticks posts to the post count, but all posts made during the period of uncountingness weren't counted.

 

Now I have to start all over again.  I just hope I can reach 50,000 posts before they do it all over again.  I mean, what's the point in post count, if every 5 years, everyone starts fresh?

[mmeeshal]

Well, I get your frustration. It's tough to deal with your accomplishments being erased and ignored. And sometimes that clean slate isn't convenient or nice at all. Just try not to fret about it until the switch ir looming nearer. :)

[Toy and Minion]

But if I make a big enough racket, they may change their mind.  Or they may ban me.

 

It's worth fighting for.

[mmeeshal]

Not if you got banned. :D
