Um... it's not 12 thousand, guys - we Norwegians use comma as seperations..

No, twelve posts a day was the old record, but then he'd been on the board for a couple of years. Counting in vacations and other downtimes, during which posting was not possible at all, you'd end up with an impressive number. Still, it's hardly impossible to beat.

Of course, if you spam so much that the actual contents of your posts become meaningless, your presence here becomes thus as well... and we wouldn't want that, would we.

No, the way to keep up the high post rate is to be active in many forae. That's how Ethric did it in the old days. He went on holidays as well, but nevertheless, he reigned supreme in the end. :hail:

As I recall, part of Tar's methods included resurrecting as many old threads as possible.

Well, these are good questions, better than Quiz#2 where we simply have no idea, and doesn't mean anything infomational.
