Title: Kerm Martian reaches 10000 posts on Cemetech forum
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 08, 2005, 09:49:00 am
As the NASA reported earlier, KermMartian  reached 10000 posts on http://cemetech.net/forum/index.php, shocking the whole english calculator community!

When Omnimaga staff noticed Kerm post count on the forums, they couldn't believe their eyes. Jonathan C., one of our news editor, immediately commented, "This is a new day in the TI community. Back when post counts over 10000 were reached only in the french 68k community, no one though this would ever happen on english speaking forums.". Immediately afterward yAronet 68k forum administrator feared an upcoming death of the french 68k world with everyone migrating to z80 programming on Cemetech forums. The rest of the Omnimaga team said, "This could be a revolution, the TI community isn't the same anymore."

PHPBB staff immediately went to KermMartian website and noticed the post count and commented, "Could this lead into a total database corruption when he reaches 65536 posts? We need to update PHPBB to 2.019, NOW!"

To celebrate this event, DoorCS shell will be released into two versions. First version will have all the planned features. The alternate version will be only avaliable to Cemetech forum members with 10000 posts or above. We don't have much information about this version yet but it will feature a totally redone TI-BASIC interpreter that will allow some BASIC programs to run almost as fast as ASM!

Eh, I try to avoid single sentence posts or single emoticon posts.  I might as well spend a few more seconds typing something intelligence (or at least make it sound like it. :Dbiggrin.gif )

@xlibman:  Thats insane!  Is that really the maximum?  It seems like such a random number.
