The Official Rappy 50,000 Posts Thread!


Recommended Posts

Woo grats Rappy! I actually fell asleep during your milestone post, but im glad it got preserved in some way through the banter of this thread.

Grats dude, and dont break the forums come your 60k post :p

lol I love the photoshop someone did of that picture with the polar bear in the background.

Good times <3

LOL I remember that.

By the way I hit 50k a while ago, but around 30,000 posts had to be removed from the GH due to them breaking rules during the 2007/2008 era :rofl: When Rob mishandled the database they were purged from my post count stat forever. True story.

Rappy doesn't have nipples. Rappy has firewire ports.

I knew it all the way :blink:

Congrats, Rappy!

So i was planning ahead:

50k = 50k.gif @ https://www.neowin.net/forum/style_images/f...m_icons/50k.gif

100k = 404 - File not found @ https://www.neowin.net/forum/style_images/f..._icons/100k.gif

:o

Edit: A 60k image doesn't exist either. What will happen?!? T-minus 1 year and counting until he breaks the forums! :p

We'll see what happens when he reaches 100k next month :rofl:

    • 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.
