The Dink Network

I want to test our attention spans and try to make this thread 1000 posts long (actual goal may be adjusted if by some freak accident this becomes too easy).

Rules
1: Post about any random thoughts you want.
2: No double posting (I will let the admins delete one of the posts if you do, just wait for someone to say something else.)
3: If what you post becomes severely boring then I will request for this thread to be locked (it's the DN equivalent of failing your country. We're all freaks, so let's be proud about it.)
4: If you get the 1000th post, don't just say "1000th post!! In your face!!", make it something memorable.
5: If anyone asks why I'm doing this instead of making D-mods, then I will hire Striker as an assassin to kill the person in question (if it's Strike who says it, then I'll hire him to assassinate himself. There's no holes in my plan.)
EDIT: 6: Ghost posts will no longer count after post 16 (I just realized that flaw.)

3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . POST!!

-_-

This is a good idea, I think that an admin will decide to be a jerk and delete it beforehand though.

heres a question if final fantasy was made into a movie with actual actors, who do you think should play cloud?

You're not that big a jerk though if you close a thread that promotes spamming.

Spamming, he said no double posting, so people like asshats can't just spam, though I guess extremely long posts count.

Hey, what about Skron?

FAIL

Failure refers to the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Criteria for failure

The criteria for failure are heavily dependent on context of use, and may be relative to a particular observer or belief system. A situation considered to be a failure by one might be considered a success by another, particularly in cases of direct competition or a zero-sum game. Similarly, the degree of success or failure in a situation may be differently viewed by distinct observers or participants, such that a situation that one considers to be a failure, another might consider to be a success, a qualified success or a neutral situation.

It may also be difficult or impossible to ascertain whether a situation meets criteria for failure or success due to ambiguous or ill-defined definition of those criteria. Finding useful and effective criteria, or heuristics, to judge the success or failure of a situation may itself be a significant task.

Types of failure

Failure can be differentially perceived from the viewpoints of the evaluators. A person who is only interested in the final outcome of an activity would consider it to be an Outcome Failure if the core issue has not been resolved or a core need is not met. A failure can also be a process failure whereby although the activity is completed successfully, a person may still feel dissatisfied if the underlying process is perceived to be below expected standard or benchmark.

1. Failure to anticipate
2. Failure to perceive
3. Failure to carry out a task

Loser is a derogatory term for a person who is (according to the standards of the observer) generally unsuccessful.

Commercial failures

A commercial failure is a product that does not reach expectations of success.

Most of the items listed below had high expectations, significant financial investments, and/or widespread publicity, but fell far short of success. Due to the subjective nature of "success" and "meeting expectations," there can be disagreement about what constitutes a "major flop."

* For company failures related to the 1997–2001 Dot-com bubble, see Dot-com company

Internet memes

"Fail" is the name of a popular Internet meme where users superimpose a caption, often the word "fail" or "epic fail," onto photos or short videos depicting unsuccessful events or people falling short of expectations.[1] In July 2003, a contributor to Urban Dictionary wrote that the term, "fail," could be used as an interjection, "when one disapproves of something," citing the example: "You actually bought that? FAIL." This most likely originated as a shortened form of "You fail" or, more fully, "You fail it," the taunting "game over" message in the late 1990s Japanese video game Blazing Star, notorious for its fractured English.[2][3][4] There is an entire Internet site dedicated to "fails" called Fail Blog.[2]

The term "miserable failure" has also been popularized as a result of a widely known "Google bombing," which caused Google searches for the term to turn up the White House biography of George W. Bush.[5]

Yeah... this isn't going to happen.

ROFL! I love the example they chose for that Wikipedia article! That train wreck isn't just fail, its EPIC! OR, as they say, epic fail.

I mean, seriously, you call that fail? I call that WTF!?!?!?!? How you even get a train up there, I have no idea. Fail is an understatement, the sort that needs to be archived.

EDIT: w00t! tenth post!

The Dink Network rules!!

Epic fails are good, but then there are the Legendary fails. like a truck carrying porta-potties going through a low bridge in front of a covertible with it's roof down. I'll try to remember where i saw it. (oh, and try guessing who i am. I was the last person who did the whole 'guess who i am' thing, so try to guess me. Here's a hint. I like the show Wolf's Rain.)

A pointless thread...

But I just can't stand to see it die!

I've got problems... *sigh*

Good. I want to see more. More! MORE!!

I've got problems... *sigh*

Why do you think you're even here?

Someone posted, that means I can post without it counting as a double!! Hooray!!

This isn't working...

Only 16 on the first day . . . someone say a controversial statement quick!!

Duck religion... Duck moral values... Duck everything. There, controversial enough?

I'm going to lock this thread.

I just can't decide whether to do it now or once you get to 999 posts.

If you do it when there are 999 posts, then you could post the legendary 1000th post, "THREAD IS CLOSED"

Well, the creator wanted something awesome as the final post, and what can be more epic than such an arrogant remark?

I think he should do it when they're 998 posts. Just think about the irony.

Shhh! If he does it at 999 we still win!

Hey Earl next time start a thread with a mildly controversial topic that various people on this board will disagree about 50/50.

Something like criticising Obama may work.

I think Star Wars sucks.

Hi.

Fail thread is fail, please lock. Thanks.

I am Mr.Banana!

Anything for you, Glenn. x

In all seriousness, this is nothing but a spam thread and is therefore against the DN rules.

Locked.

EDIT: Oh, and if you have a problem with this, don't make a new thread. PM me. Or, if you think I'm abusing my power, PM Striker/Tal/Redink1.

If you want a thread to reach 1000 posts, make one which actually involves some form of discussion.
