Actually, if anyone needs a tool to get rid of the infection, they can't do any better than this:

https://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/

Install it, update it, scan with it, and remove whatever it finds, and the infected computer will be good as new. :D

Can you send that link to NZ Telecom? Maybe they can run it through their networks. :P

This is ridiculous, a few people try to look at nudie pictures and more than half the country loses internet.

Hopefully we'll be back to normal by tomorrow, maybe see you guys then.

The sole purpose of this post is to get me one step closer to 10,000.

You are awfully close Krabo, and it looks like I'm going to be around to see it! :D

That's a shame Mooms, we'll miss you meanwhile, especially knowing you'll be on vacation for a while. Did you say you'd be able to take your tablet with you?

I will see what I can do about sending that software to the Grand Poobah of NZ Internet Operations. :lol:

Well done Krabo! Do you think four 9's or four 0's in a row look better? 8)

How will you celebrate? South African sparkling wine would be a good choice... which makes me wonder what I_wana_blue is up to, he's been scarce lately...

Here's to the next 10 000!
:cheers:

Thank you Theta and Enviro.

This is my ten thousandth post. In a way, I feel sad. It was fun to get closer and closer, but now that I am here and have reached a goal, I don't know what to do with it. Am I happier now? Does it make me a better person? I don't think so. Oh well, let's celebrate it by expressing it in Roman numerals. :wink:



At his current rate, Kip will reach 10,000 within the next 137 days or about 4½ months. Go, Kip, go!

Yay, Krabo is at 10,000 and NZ internet appears to be fixed in time for me to see it. :D


Well done my friend.

Very nice Krabo! Don't disappear again now that you reached 10 000. 10 001 actually sounds pretty cool! A numerical palindrome! There are new goals to strive for as you watch Kipro, Moomin and myself trying to reach 10 000.

I wish I could send you something to celebrate! I like seeing the blue crab just like I like seeing the dormouse on the stalk...

Wow, congrats Krabo! 10 000 is impressive! I don?t think I?d manage that many posts even if I tried.

And I?m glad I got to ?witness' it in this thread. :)

What's your next aspiration?

A bouquet of kittens for your achievement:

It's easy Riikka, you just do a few of the 'counting' threads, and then some evenings there are a few of us here, and we get into multiple conversations across several threads. That soon increases your thread count by quite a lot.

Beautiful bouquet by the way. :D

But there are so many counting threads, I don't know which one to pick! :D I feel like I should just pick one and commit to it so I'd feel some kind of consistency and familiarity within the thread, but I'm so indecisive, I can't come up with a reasonable rationale for choosing one counting thread over another. :)

Same with the other threads. And a lot of the time I feel like I don't really have any valuable input to offer, so I just read through the threads nodding my head, agreeing with this poster or that. I think I'll just settle on humble goals like 100 posts or 1000 posts and celebrate them if I get there, and leave the more impressive and ambitious goals to the veterans. :)

Blue takes breaks every once in a while. But he's currently sitting on exactly 12,000 posts. :star: I should congratulate him next time I see him. It's nice seeing him around; I like his sense of humour.
