10,000 Posts.

[Llorean]

Well folks, this is it. Number 10,000. So, I've been your moderator and general annoyance for some time now, and as with this post I reach the 10,000 posts mark, I'm taking a small step back and looking at how things have gone.

I know I've yelled at a few (lots) of you. And I know there have been bannings, and rules violations. I like to think that I've enforced the rules as they're written. I've tried to be impartial. If you break the rules, no matter how respected or disliked you are, no matter how many or few posts you've got, I've tried to treat you the same.

So here's your chance to yell back. Call me on anything you like. Make something up, or point me at real problems. Offer advice for the next 10,000 posts, or just tell me how much of a jerk I am.

I'll leave this thread up for about a week or so, then I'll probably delete it to keep these forums on topic. But here's your chance, let me have it! But remember, watch your language. You don't have to be strictly on topic, in this one thread, but do try to keep it appropriate.

Awesome job.

Although this could be seen as off-topic.

Congrats!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Well, Llorean, I know I've gotten ticked at you before, but I think you often show good judgement and keep the forums in order.

I just sometimes wish the mods would post a little more than "Do a search." or "Read the manual.", but that's just my opinion.

You're mean and you stink. Haha. So clever.

EDIT: Wow, my 50th post on every forum I've ever been on has always been really useless and stupid. I'm ridiculous. Thank you so much for helping me continue this legacy.

I think you are a "saint". I know few people with as much patience as you. Good work on the forums (and in IRC) and congrats!

I have read through a ton of the forum, and I think you are actually very patient with people.  Thanks for all the effort.

The Friars Club this ain't!

You've been doing a great job, Llorean. I've never seen anyone with the patience you have. Keep up the good work!

[Bagder]

So, how long time did it take you to reach 10,000 ?

[Llorean]

I registered on these forums October 5, 2005. The forums say I've average 11.467 posts per day (which really doesn't sound like that much when you present it in those terms). Though I was following the project on and off for some time before that, and lurking in the IRC channel from time to time.

So, the pickiest person I know picked his 10'000th post. Congratulation! Keep up you good work, but try to do it in a more friendly way. From personal experience, you tend to annoy people who search for help by being picky and impatient, and sometimes even rude.

But still, you need rockbox and rockbox needs you. You've been a great contributor spending much effort and heart into this little but growing project. I wholeheartedly hope you you continue this.


PS: Only freaks have 10'000 posts

Well, much as I disagree with Kugel, if people searched, there wouldn't be a problem

Still, anyway congrats Llorean.

[bluebrother]

While I disagree with kugel you being picky and annoying I agree that you're a great contributor. On some occasions I wish I'd had your patience ...

If he posted more than "Do a search" he wouldn't have reached 10000 posts by now

Congrats, Llorean!
