Back in the old days (read:when I joined and there were a scant 100 or so members), it was a big celebration to reach your one hundredth post, and it still is. We celebrate at: 100 300 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 3000 etc...etc. You get the picture. There are a few other post counts that we celebrate. 666 - The evil post 1024 - The mega-post 2048 - The two meg. post They're milstones in your time at the asylum, so, when you hity one of those post counts. Don't forget to drop a message into the ozones forum and let us all know!

Being that a kilobyte = 2^10 = 1024. A "mega-post" would then be 2^20 = 1,048,576. And if anyone ever gets up to this "mega-post," the rest of us will all know that they spend waaaaaaaaaaay too much time here :) [small][i](Edited by: [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/cgi-bin/ubbmisc.cgi?action=getbio&UserName=Lord_Fukutoku]Lord_Fukutoku [/url] on Thu 01-Aug-2002)[/i][/small] _____________________________________________ Skaarjj: Well, I look at it like this. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, so a post is worth a thousand words two, since a post is made up of hte same stuff a digital picture is, pixels lighting up on your screen. Now, being a digital realm, that thousand words translates into one thousand and twenty-four words, and the words turn into bytes. SO, one post is worth one thousand and twenty-four bytes, or one kilobyte. Therefore, when you reach one thousand and twenty-four posts, ou've reached one thousand and twenty-four kilobytes, or, one megabyte.
