My LEGO Nexus Organization

Yes, it is here! Beware! The crazy insane guy is here, putting up a notice on the town bulletin board. It reads:
"Join the MLNO! Be a part of getting our 100,000th post! More information can be found by contacting Ab§olute_Z3R0."

Here we go! It's gonna be a bumpy ride; but we could always take the other way... I guess so. But we'll have to go fast. >:D
Fast way, here we come!

...

Enough of that silly story stuff. Anyways, I am the crazy insane guy, as named by someone in TRT85K. You know who you are. ;)

To start us off...

Wow AbZ, you are crazy! :P

Woah... I can imagine lots of 'Post errors' coming up...
In the race for 100K, the big, the final race.

EPIC swarms of posts I bet we are gonna get...

Well, I don't think this'll be the absolute final race... *Whistles suspiciously*

Huh? What? Why?
You're suspicious...
We will probably get this in the middle of April... probably.

I'd say, minimum, by May 1st.

This topic looks EPIC in the Forum Index; it appears like this:

"The FINAL Race... to..."

Considering how fast we got this one, I'd go for middle of april, explaining my post above yours,
*expects More 'Post errors' than ever*

As long as we do not have more spam, garbage posts and nonsense than ever....

So glad we are close!

So am I. When we get 100K, we will have:

A. Our own URL at last
B. More coding to be out in
C. IDK?

I said it would take a crazy, insane, paranoid guy to make a race to 95k and then 100k...

It's not the last race... I bet we're going to go to 150k.

Oh well, I like that thought, Ab-Z, the crazy insane guy!

Hmph. Well, close enough Kaulus...  ::)

I bet we're going for every 10K after 100K, and specialer ones for HundredKs.

Who will be the first to post the first Hundred K?

I won't be keeping any record for the posts; that's up to Blade. After 100K, we won't have these topics any more. It's just to encourage and let our members know we are going for a goal to get a special reward.

I hope NWJ gets the 100th post, tho he hasn't been around much...

Why can't we have any milestone topics for stuff like this after this? Hmm?

*Calls post 100,000*

If we do, we'd need to make the post number requirements be huge. Like +25000 each time. =P

Might be an idea...

I have an evil plan that involves getting the post:

In the night i will tie up all the mods and throw them in a closet. We will be forced to use replacement mods. I will be one. Then, i will take Omega's place and post more than anyone. When i get 100K, i will have a plus rep. Then i will make a HUGE screw up to lose the rep point,and i wil still be even on 0 for my rep!!!

*checks rep for -1*

The only way you could do any of that is if I let you, and most of that, if you can get so many posts, at least some would be spam =P

The only problem is that I know how to untie myself. =P

EDIT:Since you guys are upset,i will just change to atomic wedgies.

That's a bit further. Before it was hostages. Now it's battery and assault.

Hey, if he keeps it up, he'll be banned before the 100,000th post is made!

I was waiting for someone to say that. You're like a psychic MsRR. Now I'm crazy AND evil.

So this is the last race to any posts? anyway,  :) :D ;D

It is.

BTW, mtmerrick got 9k on count to a million.

Cool. C'mon guys... only 600 posts yesterday? You gotta be kidding me! :P Just kiddin'!

O____O

We... we... got over 1000 posts yesterday alone. We not just broke the record from the day before... We crushed it. And it's just about the overall record for most posts in one day here, so...

how many posts are we at now?

we are at 85649 posts

100K,here we come!

I've already called 100K in the 85K Post topic, DB. >:D
Also, If you tie Blade in a closet, MN, MLNO will fall apart. Literally, forums will fall on you. :) (yes I am insane sometimes)

I hope you don't get it without me...

I hope I get it. THE FORCE IS WITH ME!!!

Then a race it shall be. Post the post, I shall. >:D

What kind of Race? LRC Race if you got picked to Beta test? =P

*posts 100-wait that didn't happen YET.*
We're gonna get our own URL... hopefully...

Get it I will! I think so anyways, that's what these cards are telling me..

I wil get it! I mean it this time!!!!

*Sits back and watches MLNO members argue over who gets the 100K, waits, and gets the 100K post*

Never tell your secret plans.

I will not get it, those who claim they will get it will not.

That explains why I haven't gotten it, despite the fact I've called it every time. =P

Oh well. It's still mine. >:D

To get this, we need:

Posts
Legimate Posts
and Posts

I think...

And Yoda power...

No, it has to do with getting a new URL, and possibly some new coding built right into the server ;)

Have Yoda power, I do. =P

Have Yoda Powers too, I do.

Ensure my 100K post, it will =P.

BOT, I will go.

Many Posts, we will get.

Many more posts, I guarentee.

Have Yodaspeak day, we must.

Hold the power of Yoda, I do.
Getting Off Topic, We are.

Get One Hundred Thousand, I must.
Stop DB, I will.

Stop Teridax first, I shall.

Never stopped, I am.

go!
to 100000 posts!

why does everyone have the "update to pro" signature?

Jas's Photobucket account has run out of bandwidth, meaning his images are being used too much in too many places. His only solutions are:
A) Delete some pictures
B) Create a new account and switch some of the images over to that

And he apparently hasn't been on yet or hasn't tried to fix it.

why is this called teh final race?

Ab-Z: Oh my, I have the 99,999 post, one more, YES, I HAVE MADE IT, no wait, saturn got the 100,000th post :o. Grr, I should have never invited him here >:(!

What?

...what? We've still got 14K to go, y'know.

You could adblock them and such...

A) Doesn't work, I've tried
B) That's what I've done, I'll restore images when I get the chance (I have assignments for school I have to do now).

Ah OK. Well I don't need mine up anytime soon, so feel free to save mine for last. :)

I DL'ed Paint.NET a few days ago and am starting to learn, so hopefully I'll be able to make my own sigs and avvies (as you can see I've already given my best shot at an avatar).

How do you make your own avs and sigs? Paint or photoshop?

Either one works. ;)

Or Paint.NET. I love it. I used it to make my current avvy.

i use gimp when i make avatars and banners

Hmm well BOT. Keep up the posting guys.

How many until we're there?

Exactly 12652 now. =P

Still a lot...

Yeah, but it's easier to look at "to go" than "how many we've done," IMO.

So, now we need to decide;
www.mlno.org
www.mlno.net
www.mlno.tv
or something else...

I think we should put up a poll.

*cough* lotsa spam in this topic... Let's stay on topic everyone please.

so can nayone tell me why it's teh final race?

Because once we reach 100,000 we get a domain free of charge, and maybe get off of ServerBeach so we can have an official warning system and a better awards system, and we will also get things coded for us, like a built-in style-switcher which is smaller and doesn't lag the site as much.

After 100,000, we are not racing for anything, but you guys are welcome to have your own races to see how fast we get to X amount of posts.

do we get rep when we do that?

When you do what? get to 100k posts?

I think mlno.org or mlno.com would be best.

www.mlno.com is taken, so we would have to go with www.mlno.org.
I don't have a problem with that- it's what I originally suggested.

mlno.org IMO is fine

Yes, MLNO.org is still available!!

It means we're "MyLegoNetworkOrganization.org anization" XD

I have nothing against it, though.

Neither do I.

Oh...I didn't know mlno.com was taken...*goes and sees who took it*

It is some sort of marketing site.

MLNO.net people. No hassle in .net.

So what's bad about MLNO.org?

It's redundant.

@ddude - less expressive punctuation please.

Who is ddude? ??? And I guess mlno.net is fine...

I am. ddude2964 is my MLN usename. It used to be my name here too,but i changed it.

@CRX Ok. Editing.....

AH. I got it now...*mutters something about name changes to himself*

We haven't passed 90K yet... it will be quite a while until we get this.

We are very close though.. 8)

Yeah. And then we'll have our own URL, some coding, and not a lot of changes except we have an easier-to-remember URL.

Yeah. whenever i come on my one of my parents computer accounts,I can never find us by just typing:MLN Organization.

 

I should've thought of typing in that, I always type in my lego network organization

I just remember 'mln.smfforfree4.com'

Anyway, we should put up a poll for the domain name. '.org' sounds more professional, and I've never really liked '.net'.
We won't decide without a vote.

Yeah and you now how we don't want my lego network organization.organization

Well net would mean network so it would be mylegonetworkorganization.net work

I really don't care if we become My lego network organization.organization. It sounds more professional

Hmm... maybe we should make a debate topic...

GUYS, MLNO.net is TAKEN.( but for sale)

MLNO.org is NOT TAKEN..

Case Closed. no votw needed.

Okay, I guess that settles it, then.

MLNO.COM is also for sale.

But then again, who wants to buy it? Nobody? That's what I thought. =P

EXACTLY... and MLNO.org is available for FREEEEEEEE!!!

Well, the best things in life are free, after all. =P

Not entirely true, but w/e. =P

Lets just go with org.  Why would anyone want to buy a site if the only thing different about another was the last part of the URL and it was free.  Lets get it before someone else does! :P

And how exactly are we going to go about getting this "free" url?

Nothing's registered there, so when we hit 100K and get our custom URL, can't we say "We want www.mlno.org"?

But wouldn't it involve someone buying the domain, or no? Like, wouldn't money have to be involved in one way or another?

You said that we get a free custom domain name when we reach 100K posts.
Nothing's registered there yet, so shouldn't it be free?

Ermm.. making the website name "www.mlno.org" is free, but anyone else who wants the name badly enough can buy the domain name and then they have rights to use the mlno.org even though you already created the site with that URL name.

SMF is saying "Thanks for being loyal; here's $35 we're giving you for a custom domain name without the ".smfforfree4" part." pretty much. They get paid to have adverts, so they use that money to run the 4 servers they have, and then for those who have had SMF forums without a custom domain name, they are willing to give us one.

---

EDIT: Updated first post.

Once the domain name is registered it cannot be used by someone else until the registration is up ( usually one year)

maybe each post should be numbered, the way it is in count to a million.
(Please reply to this post!)

That'd be annoying, since nobody'd have any clue to what post they were making. ;)

If you look at the bar above the posts...

no, I mean so we know how close to 100000 posts we are.

On the main page at the bottom it shows the total posts.

Well I hope the road won't be so "bumpy" since we are so close to achieving this goal!!!

I updated the count. Sorry I didn't get it up on Sunday; I couldn't get on the computer.

less than 7,000 posts left...wonder how long it'll be?

It would make a nice mother's day surprise...

How many posts are we doing a day??

I would say CTAM accounts for a third of that.

A LOT more.

And i would say 500 a day.

Can you guys not see the "more stats" button? Is that admin only?

I can see it

It shows exactly how many posts we recieve per day if you scroll down and hit the month we are on. ;)

Ahhh, ::)...

I calculated the average, and it says 496.7 posts per day for April now.

where is it?

Click the forum tab, then go to the bottom of the page.

thank you.

Seem to be slowing down on the new members a bit this month though.

Yeah It comes up first if you google "my lego network organization" but not if you search mln help/guide.

That may be a good idea...But do they even embrace BZP? If they don't then they definetly won't embrace us...

Bionicle Zone Power, it's a Bionicle themed forum.  It has some 40,000 members, and is generally felt to be a large fial by people such as me.

well, the Glatorian Arena game lists BZP in the credits...

BZP is a forum like this one, but instead of being MLN themed, it is Bionicle themed.
here is the site: bzpower.com

A BIG forum. Dedicated to bionicles. HUGE. some 40k members or so.

It is? I didn't think it was...

Oh. That explains it.

Back to having fun... LEGO has copyright infringement issues... we have far too many of their images up to get past that.
In addition it was posted in the LMB that they discourage TEAMS, and there was a post in the parents section about prohibiting team siggies in posts.

To answer the BZP questions:
BZP is somewhat affilliated with LEGO.
One of the Admins at the site is the webmaster of bionicle.com
Another is a LEGO Ambassador, along with some of the members.
Some of the BBC contests feature INSANELY RARE FOUND-ONLY-IN-THE-LEGO-FACTORY pieces, namely parts colored in different colors than normal.
Greg Farshley, Author of BIONICLE, is a member and answers storyline questions frequently.
Some members get access to exclusive LEGO events, like the one earlier in the year when the summer sets were shown.
~And More...

Now then, BOT. For any further discussion, head to the Bionicle Zone Power topic in the Bionicle board.

Wow... we're getting close... Only 3### posts away. :)
Of all of this, the custom URL, will probably make out url easier to remember, shorter to type and easier to put in Sticker Types. This is just based on the assumption that it is a small new url.

I already called it. =P

Happy egg day peoples... =D

I called it way before you in the 85K topic ::). I think in the next week or so, we'll actually hit 100K.

What are the advantages of it again?0_o

New URL, custom coding, all that fun stuff.

And my calling plan is better, so it's mine. =P

I'll probably be too busy with tempest in the next few days, so I'm guessing I'll miss it.

I'm probaly gonna miss it, I'll be too busy with Brickland.

I guess so...

Yeah, I'm probably going to miss it too, helping FK with brickland.

A Forum Finck King created. We probably won't get 100K becuase of it.
Now, BOT, BOT please so we don't get banned.

Then click here and find yourself in another world... (http://brickland.smfforfree.com/index.php)
Well, we're very close to 100K.
It would be s strange if we got it on April 19th.
January 19th: 60,000th Post
March 19th: Post 85,000
And if April 19th: 100,000...

I would faint.

Wow, someone spammed your forum, lol.

well, he's been took care of...
AKA 'dissapeared'.
Also, how close are we to 100K again?

Hey guys, I totally spaced and forgot about MLN for 3 days. >_< And 5 days to April 19th, so get a move on it. :P

~2500 to go. And three days to get there.

Methinks we can do it. =P

      “Do or do not... there is no try.â€�

Yodaspeak, MsRR does.

YodaSpeak I will, also getting closer, to 100K, we are.

Worst YodaSpeak ever I have heard that is.  :D :o :P

Speak Yoda we do, but avoid SPAM we must, 100k post we must attain.

You do not believe what?

Who fails?

Try...speaking quotes on topic then? It makes it easier for us..."unelightened ones"

Make sense or not, there is no halfway.

But beware. Anger, fear, aggression,spam. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Recycled or deleted must your spam be before banish it you can.

You missed the important part..

Spamming we are.  Perhaps back on-topic we should get.  Before a moderator notices, hmm?


Indeed, you did.  Indeed you did...


Does anyone know a quick way to tell what post number we're at???

Yoy can look on the main forum page at the bottom, almost.

OOOOO were close

If you guys go to the Main Forum page and scroll all the way to the bottom you should see how many posts our forum has...

Lime Green alert? I thought that was a joke! Nothing ever goes wrong!

It's not a joke.

what caused the alert?  ???

well with you being The one man destruction force, and Dudebot's being Dudebot5000: Leader of the Black Knights
it certainly seems like one.

We're working it out y'all, don't worry about anything.  Follow the Rating instructions.

And my name has nothing to do with it. Thanks for your concern, though. =D

Its disturbingly long length is another subject. =P

It's not the longest, though. =P

*Sees the truth in the Boy Who Cried Wolf story*...No this is not a joke. Please read the Lime green alert topic.

Hm....I just looked in "Joke Time" by lionytai,and DB showed up as a guest.

That's becuase that's his old deleted account. ::)

We're less than 1500 posts away from the 100K... I sense a posting spree tomorrow by everyone...
By the way, who is the guy that called you crazy and insane?
All I know is that you're probably like the normal members.

Easy way to check the post number:

http://mln.smfforfree4.com/index.php?action=stats

Tim's title is an in-joke, and Dudebot's name is from an anime he likes ;)

And mine is just half my name with some numbers :P

An even easier way is to just scroll down to the bottom of Boards Index.

We're nearing 99K...

Here what is?

EDIT: Yayz, 869 posts to go!!

Okay, I was just explaining stuff, how'd we get on the topic of explaining our names? 0_o

Counting down... less than 100 posts to 100,000!!!

This is the big one. The final one. The special one.

Less than 80! And Counting!
I can tel,l in the next few hours, we'll be getting a LOT of posts. Hopefully Spam-Free.

70

Wow! =D

Wow, this is going pretty well =D Hopefully we'll get there by 7 EST =D

It's fascinating to watch the post count go up. =D

*watches as a swarm of posts closes in on MLNO*
Less than 75.

Yes.  very in. =P

Less than 45...

This place has come far... to think, last year, the least posts in a month was somethink like 3363, now, we've gotten 16K Something posts in a month...

WE'VE DONE IT!

I made 100K in the staff board!! =D

Are you sure??? A ruling from Blade please!!

*wonders if himself missed 100K by one*

Thank us,,, we get special things now!

CONGRATS TO ALL WHO HELPED BY POSTING ON-TOPICNESS!

WOOPEEEEE!!!

(http://science.kukuchew.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/firework-e-coli.jpg)

Yayz!!

Congrats to all of us, and congrats to Tim(?)!
www.mlno.org awaits!

Pretty sure it was me.  I checked 7 times lol.

Blade will confirm who posted 100k momentarily, I am sure...

Congratz TP! Now for 1000,000... if we're even aiming for it.

*is now wondering when we get our new URL*

We're not completely certain it was me yet.

Now we are. Topic going up soon, just lemme get it all ready.

So, does that mean smf will give us an easier link to use since we have 100K posts?

Yes.
Meantime, why don't you guys post here...
http://mln.smfforfree4.com/index.php/topic,3235.0.html

Yes, he will =)

Post made, Topic Closed.
