who will be the 10,000th registered user of the Eplaya???

Chai Guy · Post by **Chai Guy** » Fri Mar 31, 2006 12:10 am

Shhhhh.. We're almost there, just 1 user away from 10,000 users, sure, 8,753 of whom are Russian spam bots, but who the fuck cares!

I say we all personally welcome our 10,000th registered user. Now don't screw this up, and register yet another sock! (and I'll know because I'm logging your IP damn it!)

The suspense is killing me!!

Who will it be???

Chai Guy · Post by **Chai Guy** » Fri Mar 31, 2006 12:21 am

Can you feel the tension in the air right now as we all sit watching the front door. Who will be our 10,000th registered user?

Will it be a boy? or a girl? or perhaps, just perhaps a robot?

Maybe we should start a pool?

I'm so excited I'm about to pee myself!

Are we gonna run up and surprise them?

Chai Guy · Post by **Chai Guy** » Fri Mar 31, 2006 12:28 am

Absolutely, and shower them with prizes and balloons, and champagne.

prizes? prizes? Lets see here....

I got this old sticker

What else we got??

I don't have a whole lotta luck with the pics, I don't have any of mine hosted.
I bet if it happens soon, it's a bot. I'll bet you a beer.

How about a trophy ... or two. I think there's a couple of old bowling ones around someplace.

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Fri Mar 31, 2006 12:33 am

Hey, the name of the newest user changed, but the number didn't. Maybe a delay?

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Fri Mar 31, 2006 12:34 am

I KNEW it!! It's a BOT!!!

blueniteowl · Post by **blueniteowl** » Fri Mar 31, 2006 12:36 am

Awww, how sad. And you guys were soo excited.

So Chai, did you pee yourself or not? I hope not, seeing as it was a bot and all.

Chai Guy · Post by **Chai Guy** » Fri Mar 31, 2006 12:37 am

FUCK! I has all this cool stuff planned, a parade, a party with dj Lorin, hookers and blow for EVERYONE! What a complete and total let down.

If Spanky would just install that visual verification mod, we might be able to slow these bots down a little.

Oh, and now I owe Desert Duck a beer.

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Fri Mar 31, 2006 12:37 am

Unless you're into that kind of thing. Maybe it's a pee-bot.

nurew,
Congratulations! You're the 10,000th ePlayian! Yeah! Even though your a dispicable piece of worhtless spam bot bullshit, at least tell the commanders who sent you that you, yes you, are special. See ya on the moderator's deleted list!

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Fri Mar 31, 2006 12:41 am

Have most of them been deleted, already? Or are we only at about 2,382 actual registered users(84 active).

I'm not allowed to delete users, but I'm not sure what the status is with the deletion of spam bot accounts, or how up to date the deletion list is.

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Fri Mar 31, 2006 12:49 am

There should be some kind of multi-key deletion system, so that when a group of, say five designated people(like some of us who spend so much time on here)agree that an account is a Bot, then that account would be deleted. Having several users involved would greatly reduce the chances of someone abusing the power( not that any of us would, but it's a failsafe).

Read the last post by Emily. It ain't gonna fucking happen. Nobody seems to have the guts, balls, whatever to boot Acext off here so meanwhile the damn invasion of the bots continues. Until the eplaya gets admins (leave the mods out of this) with some goddamned authority to do something that's so fucking obvious nothing's going to change. Perhaps this thread should be merged with the "pissing into the wind" thread as it's the same fucking thing. Some of the changes needed on here using an appropriate quote I read somewhere else are, "so fucking obvious a moron in a hurry could figure it out". Obviously we can't even get to that level around here.

And anyway...

This is not the first person to be #10K.

Remember they deleted enough accounts to be in the 9k range, and the spambots built it back up again.

Don't get me started on this. It's a trust issue, and it's a balance of them having trust in someone to do the right thing VS wanting to keep control of the falling airplaane until it smacks the ground...

Then again... well, like I said, DON'T get me started...

Hey look! They deleted a bunch, so we can end up doing this all over again!

Are you excited yet?! Maybe it'll actually be a REAL person this time.

DVD Burner · Post by **DVD Burner** » Fri Mar 31, 2006 1:40 pm

I need another sock.

now that's just funny...

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Fri Mar 31, 2006 3:23 pm

It's funny that they would delete a bunch and leave ones like "cashadvance007". Oh, yeah, that's a real person, suuuure.

I think they're messing with us, trying to keep user #'s artificially high, so we'll CONstantly be looking for # 10,000. It's a PLOT, I say. A conSPIRacy, even.

So did you get around to creating one yet? At least it would be an eplayan behind it vs. some Russian trying to sell fake Viagra or p0rn stuff.
