Title: Count the half pennies! Post by: evilknight on April 10, 2004, 02:44:33 AM Ok, here's the deal. A long time ago, like back on the old forum, somebody did the math and discovered that each post costs SS half a cent to keep online, hence the reason that has been in my sig since forever.
anyways, I thought that it would be fun if we counted up just how much that would amount to on the board. It's easy: just take the reply count and divide it by two. That's the number of pennies. Then just put that in relation to dollars. after that, just post it here, and either myself or a mod will edit it in. then we'll have a grand total at the bottom. Topic-------Cost Bleh--------$.032 Title: Count the half pennies! Post by: GandalfTheOld on April 10, 2004, 03:31:02 AM on a slightly related note:
if posts cost SS .5 cents, how much does each page view of threads cost SS? because i'm pretty sure the server package SS has is based on bandwidth as well(unless it's unlimited-until-the-techs-catch-on-to-massive-transfers) ignore this if SS replies saying it's unlimited bandwidth...

Title: Count the half pennies! Post by: matt_the_shark on April 13, 2004, 05:34:12 AM /me decides that he must work harder to make his posts cost more than under's <_<
Title: Count the half pennies! Post by: underruler on April 13, 2004, 06:55:13 AM I'm pretty sure you could count the ones in the spam area...but that's kind of hard b/c then you would have to go to find all of your posts and count those. I have 75 pages of posts.
Title: Count the half pennies! Post by: matt_the_shark on April 13, 2004, 06:41:03 PM crap, i only have 63 pages <_<

Title: Count the half pennies! Post by: Lord Lanair on April 14, 2004, 04:08:47 AM Well... technically I had an additional 200, but I didn't include those in the calculating. ;)
Don't take my word as the correct total though... I'm in AP math and still can't do simple algebra. LOL Title: Count the half pennies! Post by: matt_the_shark on April 14, 2004, 05:08:42 AM oh yeah...i forgot about those 200 posts...
so much life lost...:( Title: Count the half pennies! Post by: Lord Lanair on April 15, 2004, 02:41:38 AM One day, I'll ask for them back. ;)
They're only about 5% of my current life total, though. LOL Title: Count the half pennies! Post by: matt_the_shark on April 15, 2004, 02:47:19 AM well, that five percent would be enough to get me to the next post count title :D
Title: Count the half pennies! Post by: Lord Lanair on April 15, 2004, 02:52:09 AM ... so you lost quite a few posts as well? :P
Title: Count the half pennies! Post by: matt_the_shark on April 15, 2004, 03:02:47 AM :hmmm:

Post by: underruler on April 15, 2004, 03:18:44 AM Quote well, that five percent would be enough to get me to the next post count title :D Yea and you would be beating me. Title: Count the half pennies! Post by: matt_the_shark on April 15, 2004, 04:40:54 AM all the more reason to beg SS for them :D
Title: Count the half pennies! Post by: Lord Lanair on April 16, 2004, 03:55:02 AM I wonder if I can get my life back with interest. :D

Post by: matt_the_shark on April 18, 2004, 11:59:04 PM when lanair and i had our major spam session oh so many months ago *pauses to reflect* we determined that posting was life, therefore, the more you posted, the more life you had :D
was that what you were thinking? :rolleyes: Title: Count the half pennies! Post by: Lord Lanair on April 19, 2004, 04:17:12 AM Do we wanna know? After all, what's life outside the forum? :D
Title: Count the half pennies! Post by: underruler on April 19, 2004, 04:57:03 AM Yes no matter how crappy I will always be here...bad news for you Galmort :P
Title: Count the half pennies! Post by: Arahen on April 19, 2004, 01:30:27 PM the life outside of the forum = cookies :)
Title: Count the half pennies! Post by: RipperRoo on April 19, 2004, 04:57:30 PM OOoh, Mum went shopping today, lots of cookies for me!

Title: Count the half pennies! Post by: Hornet on April 21, 2004, 09:39:17 AM From the sound of it I imagine someone ate it. (http://home.ripway.com/2003-10/33139/cookie.gif) *waits for the next person to post to seize the opportunity to spam and instantly claim to have eaten it, thus ensuring another two pages of spam whilst everyone else claims to have done the same.* Ye gods, but SS made a daft decision by setting the ranks so high. Title: Count the half pennies! Post by: RipperRoo on April 21, 2004, 04:38:59 PM Juust try it....
Title: Count the half pennies! Post by: matt_the_shark on April 23, 2004, 03:24:39 AM oh yeah, i did eat it :P
