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!

44. To roughly quote a teacher of mine: "The best traits a programmer can have are laziness, impatience and pride. Laziness because you're not gonna code something if there's already a library for it, impatience because you want your program to be fast, and pride because you don't want anyone to say bad things about your code"

as soon as I heard that sentence, I thought...
"oh man! I was really born to be a programmer! "

45. Well, I may not have the pride, but I sure as hell have the insecurity. Where can I sign up to my programming license?

Also, I'm not sure what program I should buy. I was thinking of a VolksProgrammen Beetle, but after reading more about it, I think I should get a Mini Cooper.

Also, the questions were "What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything". Sadly, not "What is the ultimate question".

46. Currently in my 3rd year of Electrical and computer engineering so I agree 100% with that statement.

53. Friend of mine during a maths lesson: "the area of the triangle is equal to itself". His proof was based on that.

55. Douglas Adams once wrote about the speed at which we count to 100, "For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen."

(slow and steady wins the race)

56. I would describe it as a reverse Moore's law. Care for B2B.
