What do you mean by "active"? When the 8 millionth post is made, does the person have to be in the "active poster list" (the one on the board index) or can they just have posted within the last 24 hours?

We don't know. :shiftyninja:

I am guessing it is someone who is a regular active poster on here.

Well I'm not the one making the rules, but I can only assume it excludes people that haven't signed in for a while, one-post-wonders, etc. Basically, we don't want to give it to somebody who doesn't contribute or who won't actually realize they've won anything because they're hardly ever on or never participate.

Post count won't make a difference, nor will posts per day. After all, the community is more about quality than quantity.

But your spam is mighty ;)

Oh well, at least they wont ban Audio for that underage pic until October 1st. They couldn't risk a spammer strike.

Edit: just read gigapixels post about "Quality not quantity". Looks like your out Rappy :p I like your new avatar btw :)

Yeah thats why I am nothing more then a subscriber which in turn I love being :)

Most forum software (IPB being no exception) include tools for cleaning out old users, users who haven't logged in for a while and such. Everyone else is considered "active" and that's almost certain to be the group that wins the copy of vista.

So if you're reading this thread and you havne't logged in for oh...say 6months, log in NOW.

Hey now, Rappy's a cool guy :) and I think he's made quite a good contribution to the site.

He just tends to post more in the non-tech areas, which is fine by me ;)

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
