The original "This Thread is Currently About" is back! Yes, it's Count to 100!

HOW TO PLAY

1. Count by ones from 1 to 100 in 100 consecutive posts according to the Core Rules.
2. Restart the count from 1 after:
a. a Moderator (or an Administrator) makes a stopping post (post without counting) if users and Knights are counting..
b. a user or Knight or Warden makes a stopping post (post without counting) if Moderators and Administrators are counting.
c. breaking a core rule, spamming, or cheating.
d. reaching 100.
3. Announce why you restart the count so other counters don't get confused.
NOTE: For the time being, Moderators are allowed to help Users count, so as long as the other rules are observed you do not need to restart the count if you see a mod count. However, if a Moderator makes a stopping post, i.e. a post without counting (not the same as a non-count post since they're technically different teams), it is considered an interruption and the count will restart.

CORE RULES

No mistakes. A count must start from 1 and increase by ones up to 100, save for exceptions noted.
No double-counting. No counter may count two consecutive numbers.
No back-to-back counting. No two counters may alternate for more than three consecutive numbers.
Okay: P1 P2 P1 P3
Not Okay: P1 P2 P1 P2
Okay: P1 P2 reset P1 P2
No editing. No counter may edit their post. If an edit tag shows on a count, the attempt is forfeit.

ADDiTiONAL RULES

No "spamming". Please don't post only the number and please don't post gibberish, either.
Multiple one- or two-word counts may also disqualify a count.
No "cheating". This shouldn't need to be said. Counting to 100 doesn't count if you cheat.
This is an exercise in teamwork, not rule bending.
No "spoiling". Don't mess with the count. Posts should start with the correct number.
Posts with no numbers should be ignored. See also: No non-counts.
Posts with intentional mistakes should be ignored.
No "spilping". If this is your first post in this thread, please post "I'm new and here to count to 100!"
No non-counts. No counter may post without a counting number or make a post without bolding that number if that counting number is not at the start of the post.

COMPLETE SET OF RULES
Please refer to the complete set of rules for additional information and examples of what is valid or invalid.
DiSCUSSiON THREAD
Please also check out the discussion thread for new gameplay or rule proposals or general discussion on the gameplay and rules of "Count to 100".

END GAME

Once you reach 100, you start this Sisyphean task all over again back at 1. Users should notify the Commissioner of the Count (HahiHa) that the count reached 100 and the Commissioner will review it to make sure there were no mistakes or cheating. If there were no mistakes or cheating, then the users who took part in the successful count to 100 will get a shiny new Quest!

@sciller45 You go on. Their post does not invalidate, nor count towards, the Count.

@everyone: non-counts (posts without a number) do not restart the count. However, you still shouldn't post without a number, as is also mentioned in the rules. Not only are non-counts not participating to the game, they might potentially disturb other counters. So please try to avoid it whenever possible, thanks. Exceptions are stopping posts (non-counts from the other team, which DO restart the count) and posts from the Commissioner of the Count (yours truly >.0 ).

1. I think the problem happens because there are so many deleted messages (?)

3. Yup. Apparently, the pages are already indexed, so they're just there until someone fixes it (Which won't happen. There are like 5 regular users here and two of them are mods). At first, I thought that meant that they would slowly fill up and we'd end up back where we started, but turns out, no, new pages just keep getting created.

I wonder who left. Was it KatPryde? She was quite active for a while and deleted her account. The timings are all of those things are very fuzzy for me, though...

Anyways, here's my attempt at an angery emoji.
'''V'''

Also, can we get to 100 at least once more by the end of the year? I think that might just be what we need to resupply a bit of that much needed depleted moral.

4. I feel like it should be super easy to fix, but hey, what do I know about website design.

A lot.

It's Matt & Kat.

I wish it would not turn > : ( into emojis by itself

I don't think we're gonna do that.

There are like 5 regular users here and two of them are mods

Co-written by the lone AG web developer. To make you sure this isn't Sciller pretending to be someone, my name is... uh... Picture of St Peter Calculator, at your service and not the first two objects Sciller saw.

7. I'm fine. Did some fall cleaning today. I'm hoping to finish a project I started in Minecraft by tomorrow.

Sure, AdjectiveNoun, you may know a bit about website design, but do you know anything about the giant pile of spaghetti code that is the AG forums? Thought so.

It had to have been a singular event. I doubt Matt had anything to do with it. Only Kat... possibly...
But, I'm glad you're being optimistic. You know, we really need some of that nowadays.

I'm glad you're back. I was starting to wonder where you went.

8. I've been fine. Last month was crazy, with the elections and everything. Half of my family is happy with the results while the other half is upset and still believes that it was rigged. I'm not going to say who I voted for, though I don't believe that voter fraud happened and a certain someone needs to grow up and accept the results. Anyways, getting away from politics, my family is getting a new puppy! We don't get him until next weekend but I'm so excited. I keep asking my Dad about the puppy because I'm so anxious (the good type of anxious)!

10. this week has been crazy. I've been spending most of my time doing college projects (only 2 more weeks until holidays!), but man... the teachers haven't stopped coming up with new projects for us to do just yet... it's been feeling like an endless semester, but thankfully, it's almost over

Like, I think I might be able to play the games I bought on Steam Autumn sale this weekend~! (Shovel Knight, Bloons TD 6, Bastion and DOOM)

also, puppies are nice, I used to have 2 dogs when I was a kid)

11. Yeah, my family had many dogs while I was growing up as my Dad likes to go bird hunting. Unfortunately, we haven't had a dog since I was either 14 or 15 as our last dog managed to get out of her cage and got hit by a truck. She was only a year old. We've been trying to get another dog but my Mom had stayed stubborn though last month, she finally relented. Though it would be interesting as this will be our first indoor dog and I wonder how Lou will react to him. The puppy, being young, will probably get used to Lou quickly. Lou probably will not get used to the puppy as quickly as he's an older cat and cats also hate change.

It can't be that bad...

Well it was happening before Kat left, and Matt's the only other person who was active enough and left to cause it. I don't actually know if Kat made it 'worse', I don't think anyone's measured the pages.

13. Oh boy, after years of absence I can finally count again! For years I have been truly lost in the world of numbers, and then I've come back to reclaim myself.
