    It wouldn't be like Strange to tease, would it?

    I saw a documentary about life once, on the BBC. The name escapes me though. Something about the Fantabulous Adventures of Mr Squiggly Dunbar or some such.

    Life - it looks like fun, if you're into that sort of thing.

    So you mean you haven't been indoctrinated into the real order, despite having so many posts?
    As above, so below

    To what are you referring? The only "colorful banner" I've ever noticed is the BA/BAUT/UT banner that's been there for a long while.

    I advise caution. Others have made it to megapi before but Robinson promptly eats them, never to be seen again.

    On second thought, a better question might be "How did I miss the third page?"

    I have a yellow box with "Congratulations. You have wasted more of your life than you realise" (or words to that effect). Maybe it goes away again after a while ...

    That's not a yellow box, that's a post-it note put on your screen by your wife. (Try looking at another webpage for a change and you'll see the box doesn't go away.)

    We really should have a rating system for comments.

    Strange, you need to run one (or more) anti-malware programs. That's not something BAUT is serving up.

    OK. What it actually says is "Congratulations, Strange! You have made kilopi (3,142) posts on this forum!". This is the same style as the message you get when you are not logged in (see attchment).

    It seems to be embedded in a form which shuld allow the message to be cleared but there is no "submit" button. Odd.

    ETA: It is there on all computers and all browsers I have tried... (including a non-PC system)

    That really is special. I don't have that either. Maybe you were selected as the sole member of the OoK(TM) to be able to visit Willie Wonka's factory. Is there anything written on the back of the yellow strip?

    Huh. First time I've seen that. Must be something they've added in the new version of vBulliten. I suspect it'll go away on its own soon.

    Well then, if it's still there tomorrow rub some cream on it. Whipped cream, cream cheese, cream of corn... any of those will do.

    Hey, that's just awesome! All I got when I reached it was access to the hidden forum and the vote-to-ban button.

    Ah, it's gone. It disappeared when I hit 3,161 posts. I'm beginning to miss it now....

    Mine says: "Shut up or you'll get plucked...weed whacked...sprayed with 2 gallons of undiluted herbicide..."

    (I also got the same message as Strange when I became a member of Order of Kilopi. It was "on" that day, gone next)

    I didn't get that! Of course, we were using different software then.

    Someday I will grow up, get my free-time filled up with projects like rebuilding bicycles, making all kinds of absurd model train setups, and possibly even taking photos again (though, to be honest, this is unlikely). Until the my goal is to hit kilopi without making empty posts just to increase my post count. Like... this.

    I didn't know you were a model railroader LotusExcelle. I am too, though I haven't done much with it lately. See, not an empty post at all.

    Arguably a derail, though.

    It's something I added a while back and then forgot about. I've tweaked it now so that it's dismissable.
    Everything I need to know I learned through Googling.
