It sounds as if they just wanted to destroy the whole "lurkers support me in email" line of argument at its source.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
we will be forced to erase all 0 posts members from our database in a few days. Those who registered and have never come back are taking up MB's space, what helps causing the down times.
One of these things is not like the other...
Note that we are not forcing anyone to post or participate
Aren't they?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
All your 0 posts are belong to me!
So that's where they went. Next we'll find out you took all the 1's as well.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Speaking of which, here are some stats for Minearverse in the two weeks following Tim's announcement of the cancellation. (So ~6:00 pm PDT 4/3/04 - ~6:00 pm PDT 4/17/04.)
New registrations: 229
New users who posted: 99
(This does not count people who registered prior to the announcement, and then delurked after. There are a few of those as well, but I didn't look at that.)
New users who've only posted once: 47
New users who post "regularly" in Minearverse: 23 (10%)
(These are users who have posted multiple times on multiple days. They account for 88% of the posts by new users in Minearverse.)
Existing users (including delurkers) who posted: 157
Existing users who've only posted once: 29
(Didn't attempt to count "regulars" for this category.)
Total posts in Minearverse for the period: 6120
Total posts by new users in Minearverse for the period: 1489 (24%)
% of Posts by New Users by Day
Date % 03-Apr-04 19% 04-Apr-04 12% 05-Apr-04 24% 06-Apr-04 17% 07-Apr-04 15% 08-Apr-04 22% 09-Apr-04 26% 10-Apr-04 24% 11-Apr-04 36% 12-Apr-04 33% 13-Apr-04 18% 14-Apr-04 32% 15-Apr-04 52% 16-Apr-04 28% 17-Apr-04 37%
Don't know if any of this means anything. Basically, we've picked up a lot of new users, but the old users are still pretty chatty as well.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Next we'll find out you took all the 1's as well.
I call dibs on the 2's!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
All your 1's & 0's are belong to me. I am binary.
Edited to add: You know, speaking of improperly placed natter.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Back on the warning graphic front... After a better review of the discussion and several failed attempts to make anything with a Doc Martin in it look anything but funny, it came back to this, for me.
Cutesy of any kind didn't seem to match up with the proposed use.
