why isn't the post requirement for that 1337? 1536 seems....not l337ish?

[Dan]

look at the numbers 1337 whould not fit in as a posable combation.

128 + 128 = 256
256 + 256 = 512
256 + 512 = 768
768 + 768 = 1536

[Paul]

"possible --> posable"?

[shorthair]

paulibian , i hate to flame at all , but there is no need to correct peoples spelling , only dan needs correcting , and those corrections should be put in mazers thread

[Mazer]

Yes. See signature for details. \/
EDIT: I don't think he was trying to correct Dan, I think it was an honest question. He could use my dictionary but that would really be way too much trouble because it only converts from English to Dan, and not the other way around. (Not because I'm lazy, but rather because once this is finished, everyone will be living under Dan's rule, typing all messages in Dan-speak)

could azn_s's cheat about getting bits without actually "posting" work the same way that i could boost up my post count and jump up?

[Dan]

the post count system is more scuere then the bits. it whould be very hard to fake your post count with out geting in to the db. we are working on the bits isusse, i have fixed the bits for editing bug.

no, doesnt work, when I tried that thing, I noticed that as soon as you delete a post, your post total subtracts.
