Most of you know me. The name's vinnie, I'm a 25 year old web designer/web developer/marketing guy/whatever else work wants to throw at me in Philadelphia. This has always been a good forum in the past and it might be time for me to participate more.

Of course, you all know this means that by this time tomorrow Chris'll need new servers to accomodate Vinnie's 25,000 posts.

It looks like within a couple of days most of the usual suspects will have stopped by these forums. Fortunatly Chris earns lots of money so he'll be able to afford all of the bandwidth this forum's sudden popularity will require. ;)

Hello

Hey Vinnie welcome to the community, (even though you have been a member for 2+ years). The rest of us stand a chance to surpass your post count now ;)

I feel as if my status as user with highest post count is in jeopardy.

Just don't let him make a WebSitePublisher.net compatible version of the VinnieBot. ;)

I'll strive to, for once in my life, have a higher post count than the Vin-man. Doubt it will last for more than a few hours, or minutes, but what the heck.

My postwhoring will remain in check :)

Yipee. And it looks like I made it (with some quality posts in Biz also).

You may restart your whoring at will.

Given how much time I spend writing in a few core forums, I've never understood how people like Vinnie can consistantly increase their post count lead over me. They must never sleep and have no jobs or life what so ever.

He has like 7,000 posts in the staff area over at SPF that just say, "One more post than KLB has!" over and over.

What really kills me is Stymiee. We joined SP around the same time yet he has buried me in posts.

Thats not so bad... I joined SP years ahead of vinny.

What's really sad is I only made about 300 posts in my first year.

Ditto, I joined like 20 days after Stymiee. Though, I think I only posted for about 2 months after joining before disappearing for another 8-12. ;)

Meh, I found the hidden bot Vinnie uses, now I know how he does it:


package vinnie.hacks.vbhacks.dirty.tricks;

public class VinnieBot {

public static final boolean vinniePosting = true;

public static void main(String[] args) {
if (vinniePosting) {
VinnieBot vb = new VinnieBot();
vb.changePostCount();
}
}

private void changePostCount() {
int postCount = getPostCount();
hackDBCount(Math.pow(postCount, 3));
}

private int getPostCount() {
return someDBCountFromDb;
}

private void hackDBCount(double bsCount) {
System.out.println((int)bsCount);
}
};
