Ok, this is weird. Where'd you two come from?

Also, way to screw up the "10,000" link, mendel.

yhbc — Thu, 18 Aug 2005 19:51:01 -0800

And you linked to the 9,998th thread? WTF, mendel?

On preview (yes, I still do that): yeah, like you said.

I think I know th' trick, but you'll have to wait for it to become stale before Penn & Teller expose it to the public.

It would actually be pretty zen to have the 10,000th MetaTalk thread deleted as a nullity.

"Nothing to see here, move on ..."

Is it really the 10,000th thread if it's only about itself being the 10,000th thread?

If this was any more meta, I'd be watching this reply on a live preview or something.

Isn't this supposed to be an informative discussion of the achievement of 10,000 posts on this fine chat-blog-thingie?

Shame on you all for making fun of this!

By: kenko

kenko — Thu, 18 Aug 2005 22:08:18 -0800

Yes, as opposed to me. I'm a bastard and I've got an anus. It even says so on my business cards.

At first I figured you linked to the 9998th thread because the 9999th got deleted. But no, it's still there. And it's a good one.

So now I have no idea why you did that.

mendel — Fri, 19 Aug 2005 04:36:25 -0800

So now I have no idea why you did that.

Because I was in a hurry! I cut-and-pasted the URL from the latest post when 9998 was the latest, and then waited for the 9999th to hit "Post", but in that interval forgot to update it to point to the 10,000th.

Where are the mysterious post-editing gnomes now, eh?

I'm actually really sad that you all fuck shit up so much that we even need 10,000 posts in MeTa. A sad, sad day.

Recall that AskMe shared numbers with MeTa for quite a while.

You know, if it costed $1 to post a thread/comment to metatalk either (1) all the site's money problems would be solved or (2) there wouldn't be so much crap in the gray. It's a win-win, really.

*grabs at chest, struggling to breath, eyes bugging out*

I owe how much!? $589!? Wait. $590!?

*collapses to the floor twitching and turning blue*

Hey, if we have to pay for MetaTalk posts and/or comments, can we get paid for Ask.Metafilter answers?

I had been training for this moment for months, and now it has been taken from me. 20,000 shall be mine.

Oh, and I claim this thread and all its riches.

That was a thread to remember, but it didn't have longboats.
Or evil persons who screwed up a perfect ending.

It seems the celebration of 10,000 signals the end of miracle of phantom minutes. The magick as been snuffed. Or has it?

It was worth it. Heh, to me at least, suckers.
