I came in here to say that's an awesome idea but ^^ 116K posts wtf, weren't you at like 50K last year?  There's entire forums on the internet with thousands of members that have less posts than your cumulative total. wow alright back on track tip of the hat to the 25K posts idea anyway very generous give back to the members. 

 

On to the next great idea though how about a commemorative avatar badge for 10+ years ;)

I've been suggesting an 'old fart' badge before. A dark grey one with gothic script font. :shifty:

Steven, if I had a hat, I'd be doffing it to you right now, so this will have to do until I can convince myself I can pull off wearing a trilby...

Just did some number-crunching; I've averaged - as near as makes no difference - 5 posts a day over the past 8+ years, so if I carry on at that rate, I'll hit 25k in exactly 9 years time, on this very day. Might put it off a few months so then it can be a 32nd birthday present to myself. :P

Nice, I got about 8500 to go. Should hit that in about 8 years or so. :punk:

 

Can one just purchase the shirts outright though? I would no doubt purchase one as long as they are not ridiculously priced.

I did the numbers:

 

I've been active 880 Days. 1,370 Posts (as of this post). 1.556818182 posts per day.

 

I require 23,630 more posts to qualify which will take 15,178.39416 Days.

 

 

On November 25, 2055 at 09:27 (+10:00) you owe me a shirt.

I will be 71 years old. So, make it a small.

If all the posts of mine that got me in hot water with mods, or arguments with fellow Neowinians were removed from my count I think I'd only have about 25% of my total  :shiftyninja:  :rofl: Still pretty cool to think I've been on a site for 11 years. I first joined to follow KoL and sanctified's XP themes.

 

I wouldn't ask for a tshirt due to shipping costs, but I wouldn't mind being a subscriber for a year! I was a sub a while back but since I've turned into a grinch with money and whitelist ads on my most visited sites instead.

I fear this will just lead to more spam posts but. 

 

I'd rather have people be rewarded for useful posts but people tend to judge people more than the quality of their posts so that doesn't work as well either. 

 

pageviews is what brings in the money form the small ads, page views come from peopel wanting to visit because they find good useful posts, not from thousand upon thousands of useless spam... :/

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....

      I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
