Re: Count to 5000!
Same here! Except by the time I actually got through, there were like five posts after 5,000.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

I'm sure he jossed it on purpose. Yeah, that happened to me... a couple times even after 5000 had already been posted... Sheesh.
... Silver ninja'd me about agreeing about being ninja'd.

Re: Count to 5000!
5014 muses that it's fitting that the admin get's the 5000th post.

We had a good, almost three-year run.

Re: Count to 5000!
It was luck mostly. But, when I saw that I'd been ninja up to 5000 I just posted as quickly as I could (which is why my post just has the number).
Re: Count to 5000!
5018 makes the sequel.

Re: Count to 5000!
You could have let us revel in our victory for a bit longer before throwing out an even larger goal...

Re: Count to 5000!
I think I'd prefer to see how far we can take this thread anyway. I mean, I know we've already ruined the counting thing, but we could always just use the number of replies.

Re: Count to 5000!
It would be easy enough to find the number we're on now. Want to just give this thread a rename and keep going?

Re: Count to 5000!
Yeah, I think we should go with that. Maybe write in parentheses (once count to 5000), or something, to show our achievement.

I think that makes much more sense than starting over from the beginning.
