Not surprised you feel that way.

I'm surprised we're still able to go on, no mods are here still... I get they're volunteers, but someone should've stopped us a long time ago.

But I'm basically gambling with my accounts, here. I derive little pleasure from it, but keep going because I'm an obligated explorer of the unknown.

SO threads can get past 500 pages hmm...

While most of us just turn our weaknesses into crippling parts of our personalities that slowly destroy us on the inside.

I actually make other people suffer with my weakness.

Time for more puns!

If we reach 510, I'm paying you a million dollars.

At this point are you sure you wanna do that?

We're all brave souls venturing out into the unknown. Will we be struck down for our folly, crossing the Gods themselves? Surely. But will the knowledge we gain along the way be worth it?

Probably not.

Yes, I was going that route in terms of abbreviation. How do you derive little pleasure from gambling the life and death of your accounts?

They really don't care, except for the spam. The issue that clogged up the server with long threads supposedly is gone.

big TET keep on turning

As it should be, because it is the polite thing to do. Plaster a synthetic smile on your face and keep the real you hidden from sight.

Three pages and wait, but we shouldn't race there, or else I'll just change the money exchange.

I can't tell you, I haven't watched Die Hard, but some people say it is...

Which is confusing.

Because where else will I procrastinate my continued premise reboots and factbook-stalling? NS is my one source of putting things off where I can get away with it.

I joined Starfleet to explore strange new thread pages.

We got a bot searching through NationStates, so no mods. I'm selling popcorn for $10, high quality and buttered popcorn. Who wants? Nobody? Alright, I'm going to take a slow walk to the dumpster.

If this gets to 515, I will pay you 1,000 Untecnan Durs.

While I wouldn't argue that it is gone, the 500 limit is not a rule breaking thing.

The 500 limit is a technical thing. We used to have 1000(and before that: none), until [v] noticed that a 1000-page thread was clogging up the server, so she halved it to 500.

That means that at 500 a thread gets closed, but 501 or even 510 won't suddenly be a complete disaster.

The mods that finish prematurely at 495 or so, well, draw your own conclusions

The first Die Hard movie is considered to be one of the more violent Christmas movies. Nerds more dedicated than we are even create Christmas decorations inspired by said classic action movie.
