WOW! 26 pages on the Battleground!!!! I'm totally impressed with everyone's efforts, even though I was absent. Click here for the story.
We don't have anything planned yet. Like Officeholic says, every is probably posted out. laugh.gif We'll try planning another one in the not too distant future. AnOvenMit! had a great idea about trying to get the Pinned Episode thread in the 1000 club. It would be a monumental task, but if we get it organized, I think we can accomplish it (especially with all the help of the Thursday nighters). We won't do it this week because it's kinda short notice, but we'll keep everyone informed.

Thanks again for making it a memorable day!


You know, if we really want to make the Pinned Episode thread put in the 1000 club, might I suggest someone following scrantonbranch's model and make up some Questions to Ponder. It would give everyone a reason to post and perhaps bring about some thoughtful discussions. It might help keep the post number up without forgoing quality.

However, I second the notion that we not do it this episode. I'm still a little posted out from the last night (I can't even believe I'm posted out). Also, we might want to wait for a happier episode. A thread with a lot of negativity turns me off and I'm afraid that it does the same for others.

I just want to say again how much fun I had yesterday. As much of a challenge it was to reach a goal, it was just as much fun just trying to reach the goal. I think it had more to do with having us all here together. And it's just neat how we can all band together and do something pretty cool. I feel even more apart of a community. (Oh my god, am I tearing up? rolleyes.gif ) Seriously though, I really do look forward to doing this again sometime. Maybe after the finale?

I'm putting the suggestion we use the season finale as another post day. Not giving any spoilers but I think it would be the perfect time to plan our attack once again. Run by scotty as well.

Sorry I could have posted more but I was just not into it I guess sad.gif

Go ahead and suspend me, but i said nothing that hasnt been said by plenty of people who show up here every thursday. I just find the hypocricy apalling. Cant say i was spamming, only posted 5 times, and all of them were different.
vbarkley
I think we should plan for the day after the next repeat episode, since we will not have much in depth to post, it can be a "getting to know you" day.

Like, what 3 things are always in your fridge? (purchased from Vance refrigeration, of course)
scottyskater77
I have finally finished ready all 26 pages. Wow. If reading it was anywhere near as tiring as posting all day, you guys really busted your butts. I'm proud of everyone. Like BlueJeanBaby said, I really feel like an important part of a community when thinks like this happen. I'll be making secret battle plans over the next few weeks, so my advice to you is to get some rest and prepare to be re-deployed soon. smile.gif

I don't know about Major, but how about Sergeant 1st class? laugh.gif

I sure as hel| do not want flamers or troublemakers from other boards showing up here!!!

So you don't want gay people coming here?

(I'm sorry, I had to) biggrin.gif
Fancy_New_Becca
It's safe to say people from other boards wont be coming here. Our boards are pretty much on topic. I'm not objecting that people who watch other shows cant enjoy posting on the office boards as long as its not clutter and junk. oh scottylolcan't pass up the chance could youlol
Fechin
Sooner the better I say!

During the re-runs I hope smile.gif

with reruns happening again we should do another post day, like VBarkely suggested so the boards dont get kinda stale with no new episdoes

Sounds good. Let's talk about it in PM's. That way nothing gets leaking out to covert spies from other boards. wink.gif
Fancy_New_Becca
I'll pm you scotty.
Fechin
I am not afraid to talk about posting on message boards just because of some snotty people who have a problem with such things.

I'll talk about it here and take my chances.
Fechin
LOL I dunno maybe.

But really I don't think we need to hide we like posting on message boards which is the point of them.

I agree, bring it on!!

But I think what Scotty and Liz were talking about was avoiding lurkers from other boards seeing our master plan and thereby sabotaging it. wink.gif Once the war starts up again, it will be a free for all. And we will all BRING IT!
Fechin
Well someone just let me know when we do something tongue.gif

Glad you understood what scotty and I were talking about. It wasn't meant to hide anything. Nothing has been said as of yet. Anyone has any suggestions feel free to add yours in. Thats what makes "the war" so much fun it's meant for everyone on the office boards.

Hey you guys, I don't know what is going on, but we may have troubles. Today's top poster has 852 posts. Ummmm. . . .

I don't even want to try and figure out what he did to accomplish that.

He's over 1000 now. The top 5 or 6 are all from "the show that must not be named, but has already been cancelled". They're on a mission.

1000!!! WTF. Too be honest, I don't want to even try to beat that. If I did, I don't think I would want to admit it.

But I do like the idea of us all getting together again and going for the other 15 spots. I think we can do that and feel honorable.

They may be on a mission, but, as long as our posts have continue to have substance, not even the most impressive numbers can top us. wink.gif

That's the thing. Yesterday's top poster has a thread of his own where he is posting the same thing over and over, periodically breaking the string with some posting statistics or something like that. It's a very small, tight community, the people seem nice enough, but I'm still not sure what their ultimate goal is with all this posting.

The people over there are pretty nice. I've talked to a few of them and Bubblewrap has even convinced some of them to watch The Office. I guess she's an unofficial peace delegate for the "K" board. Others have helped too. You know who you are. wink.gif

ps. Plans are being planned at this moment.

OK TROOPS! Battle plans have been devised and this is your mission breifing!

Our next attack will be Tuesday, March 13. Make sure to post your hearts out and spread the word to the other soldiers. We have chosen the 13th because it is during the 6 week dry spell of no new episodes. Hopefully this 'War' will give us something to do! Enough talking, Start Marching!

Be sure to mark it on your calendars. smile.gif Hope to see as many office flans on the boards as possible. It's a great way for the newbies to get to know everyone as well. So don't be shy

Question: Is it through the duration of the 24 hours between 12am to 11:59pm or just during the day time?

That's dedication. I would too, but I've been late to work a couple times lately so I'm not gonna take a day off unless I really need to. Last time I was supposed to have a 1/2 day, but you all know what happened to me last time. wink.gif

P.S. My heart is very full at this moment! biggrin.gif happy.gif

All you have to do is set a goal for youself. That will keep you on track. I think you'll break into the 500 club before March 13, but maybe you could set a goal at 600? Even if you don't reach your goal, the important thing is that you were posting.

And remember everyone, QUALITY over QUANTITY.

Is someone, or someones keeping an eye on the top post counts these days? (I assume the answer is yes) Some of the people who were racking up the top numbers lately are no longer. Do we know exactly what our goal is here? If it's just to fill up the top 20 with Office posters, that's great, just want to know in advance. smile.gif

Wow, I hadn't looked or noticed. Did those people get suspended?

I say we just try for the top 20. And enjoy having everyone here. smile.gif
