Winner of the last thread starts the new one with a post of these rules. 2. Chooses a future event which triggers the winner, e.g. post number, date-time, and records it privately somehow (yellow sticky, etc.) 3. Everyone has fun posting until the target event is reached. 4. When the target is reached, old winner posts declaration of new winner and also PMs them. 5. Shortly after this a Mod will lock the recently won thread. 6. Go to 1. Supplemental rules: A. Multiple posting (the same poster posting two or more posts in succession) is frowned upon, and no element of a multiple posting may trigger the winning event. Thus the first following non multiple post will win. B. However the winning event is defined, it should probably take less than 600 posts and less than two weeks to achieve. C. Posting of larger pics is discouraged (Modem users do still exist, sometimes people read the forum via their mobile data, and these threads can get quite long.) D. Don't post any clearly copyrighted pictures. E. The post rules listed to the left of your post box are all enforced OK, so here's TLPTPW's number 208. I'm spending hours of my online time making changes to my new Weather site for my home town here in Weston-super-Mare ( http://www.westonweather.co.uk ) which I've also just moved on to a new server. A nice powerful quad core machine. So what am I going to do with all that extra processing power? Well besides speeding up the site, allowing the scripts to run much faster, It's now home to BOINC for my SETI crunching :D Seemed a shame to waste the processor and the extra heat will help keep the office warm! So what's it got to do with TLPTPWs? Well, the winning number came right from the system.php page a few moments ago. The winning number is there, in black & blue for all to see. (There is more than one clue in this sentance, sort of!) Good luck fellow SETIzens. May the wind be in your sails and the rain run off your back :D ID: 1480863 ·
