Lads we're closing in on 1000 posts already !!

The propertypin has about 65000 posts (most of them suicide-inducing but full of info ) and we have one sixty-fifth of that already after only a week and a bit!

Now, there's no replacing quality with quantity but I'd say a lot of the stuff here has been very playful and warm and friendly (and we were welcoming rakes of people with tea) but we could be just getting into the swing of things too.

My first line of the charter is getting born in my head and as I told Ard-T already it's all about how fun and play can lead to learning and understanding and more ... Anyone got any better structures than that?

And fair play to everyone - a kiloton of posts so soon - let's keep the bots coming! hooray!

let's post in one word entries to get to the grand! This is very synchronus with "Who wants to be a Millionaire?" which I've just been watching.

Very good stuff, P.ie and Machine Nation should collaborate on some level. Machine Nation could become a Crown Dependency of P.ie. We can evade our P.ietaxes here!

Au contraire, Ard-Taoiseach, I hope Machine Nation will maintain its fine, if short, tradition of independence.

Do you think we could do that?

What if we built Machine Nation into a very large affair and go to P.ie with the suggestion, nay, command, to form a dual monarchy?

It would make the inevitable over-run of those filthy hordes in Boards easier.

I was thinking of poaching the poor feckers out of it as they appear in the sights of OscarBravo and Tristeme. *******ers

Does Boards have resources we can exploit?

Correction, you're a Cyano Blastocyst.

I do things like debating, geography, history and economics. This sciency thing makes me feel like a right aquatic vertebrate out of a hydrogen oxygen compound.

You are not alone.

One of the questions I wasn't able to answer on my (failed) physics mock was how to wire a plug.

Aspiring to Cyst-hood was never high on my agenda...

I have indulged in a little site hopping today and have come to the conclusion that in its short life Machine Nation has begun to develop a distinct character of its own. While it lacks the head nutting and testosterone charged rough ups that can make P.ie so engaging at times, Machine Nation compensates amply with a collective spirit of problem solving.

Machine Nation's threads at the moment have the edge in global awareness (not a small thing), Gaelic pedagogy, and cosy chats over a cup of tea. Machine Nation is showing a lively interest in economics, although more hands are needed on that deck.

It also has better smilies

I would like to see Machine Nation continue to develop.

yeah, I feel like I score highly on verbal reasoning, do very well on abstract reasoning but do badly on the analytical skills required for Science.

I did get an A in Science for the JC, but I didn't continue on for the LC and I feel my standing in it since then has slipped.

I feel that the 1,000 post mark will be passed tonight, and would have loved to see Evotingmachine, Auditor, Kate P, youndan or other worthy poster dash past the line, but I have an early start in the morning. Good luck, lads

1000. I got it.

I think the next 1000 should be more sensible.

I got 1001 !! what a binary number !

ahem.

I wonder will CookieMonster get the 500,00th post on this website like P.ie? I'm aiming for the 2 millionth post on P.ie meself.

And I'm a Morula now! I feel so flexible! Methinks I shall be a retinal cell as through me, Machine Nation can see the world.

ahem.

And Binary for 9 too. Auditor#1001. But then # means Hexadecimal, so you would be Auditor b1001.

As they say, there's ten kinds of people who understand binary, those who do and those who don't.
I'm more of a hexadecimal person myself.

Hey you liar you are 1011 ! (still a binary number)

Cookie never accepted his Prize Avatar over there for the 1/2 Megapost. I even made one for him. No pleasing some people.

Comhghairdeas don chéad mhíle.

I said it we were taking part in an epoch-changing project

Very nice and very well put together.

He should have taken that one. It's good. I remember himself and Thac0man were having a chat and reading through it I thought CM had gone mad and started talking to himself. The avatars were that similar!
