There is no doubt as to your validity as a spammer nor to the fact that you have times of extremely high spam rate. In fact, you, Veh, and Aegis helped get me started in my spamming. But you yourself have said that you didn't post as much when you first joined as you do now.

Actually, many of us older spammers (Basically number 800 and down that are still around) didn't even begin to spam heavily until SYM was opened up. So, by your argument, you could say Weasel wasn't the king of spam because he wasn't a spammer right off the bat.

Spam is more than just the number of posts. Spam is also how pointless your posts are (Refer to "counting With Aegis" for a great example of uselessness) a spammer is also someone who (and this is straight from Brink guide to spamming

) Has ran a drinking establishment consisting of more than 4 pages (I think. I heard that somewhere anyway) While spamming does have a bit to do with the number,it is not entirely fixated on the number.

spamming is also knowing where to the draw the line between just messing around, to taking it to a point to far. For the most part, Spam is fun and enjoyable, but some people have taken it too far (Grunty, and Ubik occasionally did at the start) Anyway, I'm sticking with Georgi being the queen, as she is and this is not to be taken the wrong way, the better spammer.

It would seem not.

I couldn't say, I haven't ever paid a great deal of attention to my post count. I guess cos I don't feel I have anything to prove. Shall I repeat myself yet again? My post rate has fluctuated. And one of my highest times of posting was within about the first 6 weeks of arriving.

@Georgi-Yeap, I was wrong

(hey, spam is unpredictable, is it not?

It's particularly unpredictable where Weasel is involved

Excellent

Well, you will just have to make the most of this year

My count flutuated massivly before you came around SS. Does that make me anyless of a spammer? For about 2-3 months, I posted a total of maybe 20 times. One the summer hit though, I went from 600 posts to 3000 posts, give or take. So, the fluctuation doesn't matter. It's just a dry spell. Georgi has presented constant spam since she started spamming, sometimes it's a little less (like when she started) or more then we expected (whenever Georgi, Veh and myself got together) What I'm trying to stress, and I think Georgi is too, is that the count is not the prime concern. It's quality and quantity, not just quantity.

Does it say anything about your drinking establishment being the second longest topic on the board?

*thinks*
Hey, now that Goody is gone... it is the longest topic!

I know what thats like man, to an extent. One girlfriend I had (japenese, very sexy) who I went out with for a year, was only here on exchange for a year. I had to say goodbye to her. Very sad time in my life. I hope you and your lady friend at least stay in contact until she returns.

*points out the Titan Castle Pub*

I never said that the number was the most important thing.

Hmm...I don't remember writing that

)

Wheter that was good or bad, we shall never know...

@SS: I wasn't saying you didn't do all that stuff, I was just listing off what made up a spammer. You seem to have been focusing on the numbersm as you referred back to them many times, and about the amount you posted in your first few weeks.

Brink, there is much we have all forgotten... Now, if I could remember it, I would tell you...

Hmm...do you remember about the old retirement home thread sometime back then?

I think we need to check ourselves back in

But Aegis, didn't you get in trouble for posting the most useless spam in SYM?

Nwo the real talent is in creating spam as a natural progession from other topics... who needs to post nonsense?

I never said that the number was the most important thing.

No, you didn't say it directly, but all your arguments thus far have been anchored in statistics.

I only referred to post count because that is what Georgi initially referred to when she began contesting my right to be Queen of Spam.

That's what I keep telling him - to go back and let Bruno give him his medication

Actually, I don't I ever received the wrath of Buck, or mods when it came to Counting with Aegis... odd too, because it has been the most pointless spam in SYM to date... Oh well...

also, keep in mind that was back in my early, reckless spamming days.

@Brink: I knew this day would come... Looks like we'll be those crazy old men sitting on the porch with shoguns, shooing of young teens...

anyway... I'm going to bed... It's midnight where I am, and I've been working off 4 hours of sleep in the past few days... I'm exhausted, and articulate... I can't stad it anymore... good night...

As opposed to these, your late, reckless spamming days
