92 pagedowns? Lol, what kind of settings are you using? I needed just 44, with a monitor resolution of 1050 pixels high, which gives me a view port of say... 900 pixels? Too bad I didn't contribute to the page, but tbh I wasn't too interested in the discussions going on there. Also, what I'm doing here is just posting a regular short post on page 123, so this one won't be as awesome...
1280 x 800 laptop widescreen, Opera with four top toolbars (five if you count the titlebar of the browser window!) and two bottom bars (status bar + scrollbar), zoom setting +4 for teh easy text-reading on my couch, with laptop on a table at the end of the couch's armrest.
Using the laptop here on my couch, I value readability of text way more than vertical viewing space on the BBS, so I have a saved opera session with the zoom setting up high (which I do not use for the rest of the web/NG portal/etc.).
Out of my 800 pixel high screen, my "viewable HTML area" is just 595 pixels high thanks to the Opera toolbars (I wish I could combine the links bar with the File/Edit/View bar, like I have in Firefox), I just checked with an alt-printscreen in an image program.

I wondered too. I needed 43 or 42 (resolution of 1280 pixels high).
But I really don't know how this compares to other pages and other threads, as I usually don't count the pagedowns. :P
Well, aren't you guys special with your 1000+ pixel verticalness. I've got a lil' widescreen laptop monitor here with max res of 1280 x 800, geez. #;-}>
Anyway, that's why I didn't just score the previous page on pagedowns, I also scored it on individual "postlength scores." #;-}>
If I was truly crazy, I woulda hit "reply w/ quote" to all 30 posts on the prior page, and then totaled all the characters of each quoted post together and posted THOSE numbers and THAT total. #;-}>

SORRY FOR ALL THEM SHORT POSTS. I am just SOOOOOOOOOOOO BBBBBBBBBUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSYYYYYYYYYY nowadays
'sokay. Your short posts were better than no posts at all, and the page was plenty long even with em (and everyone else had some short posts, too, though mixed in with the long'ns).
Actually no, but i am spending quite a chunk of time assuring my new miss, it's basically in the bag but i'm making sure of it, THUS LOSING TIME FOR GFOXXY :'(
Assuring your new miss? You're spending time assuring a new girlfriend?
Of what? That you're straight for her? #;-}>
XXXY
FUCKINXXXXY
Just don't let on to her that you're also gay for me, or she might have a problem with that. (wink)

No need to worry about that since the updates WILL be done on a website. :) I've PMed you the link, so you can see what the pentalists will look like. I look forward to your comments about the list.
REDUNDANCY.
Done and done.
MORE REDUNDANCY. #;-}>
Hahahaha, no. I can't be old NG-wise or real life age-wise. OK, maybe 4 years is quite a long time now, but I still don't feel this account is old enough to be considered old. ;)
No, that's an old account. But yeah, you yourself is teh young'n.
Well, I've heard from some that they find the solo on One easier in Expert than in Hard, because it's HOPOable in Expert, but you have to strum it on Hard.
There's not much of a difference between hard and expert for the fast solo. The only difference in Fast Solo A is the near end of it.
Well, there's a difference for me. I can't pass One on expert (yet...), I can pass it on hard. Simple enough.
I don't fail at that part, though, I fail around 93% of the way through, alas. My fingers get so tired at that point, and I already blew my star power for fast solo A and B.
But I've not played much on the Wii recently. I might play on Mario Kart Wii with my sister later, though. :)
You know... WE could play some kart sometime. #;-}>
Damn, too many games.
Heh.
Good. I hate those bastards and so does Coop.
I know, man. I know.
Well, for one thing.... "GTA is the worst game ever.... to purchasing!" doesn't make a damned lick of sense, my friend.
It's the one game you must avoid.
I mean the sentence doesn't make any sense GRAMMATICALLY, fool. #;-}>
And it's basically a sentence YOU constructed. Read it:
"GTA is the worst game ever.... to purchasing!"
Now, pretend you're an English teacher, and a student wrote a sentence like that in an essay or paper...
I think Rime of the Ancient Mariner would be too long for GH, though. ;)
People said the same thing about TTFAF.
And at the bottom are those three fillers. However, Flash of the Blade is still a damn good song.
Yeah, but those three in the middle.... just pale in comparison to tracks 1, 2, 3, 7, and 8.
I need a second guitar, though.
Well, if you wanna do bass and lead at the same time.
But if you've got two or three people to play at once, one can do vocals, one do guitar, one do drums. You don't HAVE to have a fourth person playing bass.
Just an obscure Greek mythology reference, 'tis all.
Oh, nothing special then. XP
Thhhhpbt. You need to read about ORPHEUS and HADES:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orpheus
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hades
"Orpheus and Eurydice
Hades showed mercy only once: when Orpheus traveled to the underworld to recover his wife, Eurydice. He played such hauntingly good music, that Hades allowed Orpheus to return Eurydice to the land of the living with one condition: that until they reach the surface, he was not allowed to look back to verify if she was behind him. Orpheus agreed; however, he thought that Hades had tricked him and given him the wrong soul. He glanced behind him, thus breaking his promise to Hades and losing Eurydice again. He would reunite with her only after his death."
Hence....
DON'T LOOK BEHIND YOU.
Bahamut, I have teh GOOD NEWS fer ya.
My gf and I saw Bender's Big Score last night! OMG.
YES!! FINALLY! What did you think of it?
It was a good Futurama plot. Felt more like an ep than a movie, in some ways. Reminded me of the ep about Fry and his bro and the lucky cloverleaf and all.

I smell a list coming on :P That stat is bizzare, considering that I'd never notice it - I use the mouse wheel, except on the main computer, which my brother has knackered the wheel.
No, I'm not going to start compiling regular stats about every page of this topic, damnit. #;-}>
Mousewheeling is nowhere near as reliable a measure of page length as pagedowning. Try counting the times you hit a key on the keyboard to scroll through a page. Then try counting the individual mouse-wheel-turns it takes. Mousewheelturning is harder to keep track of.

Awesome. Waht did you think? Or was that the OMG, just to state complete dumbfoundedness about it.
OMG, I've posted 10 times in a row that I'll be watching soon but still haven't, thus frustrating the hell out of teh Bahamuts.... and now, I've finally actually watched it. #;-}>
See my comments to Bahamut above about what I thought.
Oh, one thing I'll add is that I figured out alternate-reality Fry was Fry long before 'twas revealed. Face looked too similar, obviously same voice actor, made sense with the romancin', and finally... time travel bubble = ding! There's the means.

Amen to that. So are we going to try for a longer page of postage?
Won't happen. Mostly because long posts happen when a page is nothing but conversations, such as those on the last page. This page is now... full of list comments and reactions thanks to Bahamut's first update of the list. A NEW ERA BEGINS.
