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!

79. I guess I just hate having to toss perfectly fine hardware away (or almost away; soon by comparable logic Steam won't support Windows 10 either) before its broken; plus, their tech support team actually cares about their product, their refund policy is ridiculously generous to the point of being exploitable, and Valve has an F rating with the BBB. The only things Steam has going for it are a far bigger library/community and usually unnecessary features like voice chat.

I miss BASIC ;-) Does anyone else remember how we had to use a programming language to start games at the C64?
LOAD "*",81
RUN
Well, I know a comma is missing, but i had to make it count ;-)

82. I grew up a poor ruralite, so I got my first computer around 2006-or-so. Big beige box with probably two gigs RAM. Didn't get internet until about 2009, so I played demos and various pirated disks labeled "Kalo Djuti" "Nitvor Spid Andergrand" "GTA Vajs Siti" "Sirius Sem 2" I'd get from friends. Steam was a Godsend, alright.

I do love XP and its many eccentricities, but I was always a 7 guy. It was light, shiny, and it still mostly holds up functionally (though the fall is imminent). Certainly the best-looking OS (alongside Vista, but they look the same).

83. I really feel like their should be a exceedingly high quality game preservation library for posterity, although setting up such an arrangement would obviously be very difficult.

84. Setting up such an arrangement has been done technologically. It's basically archive.org. But getting the rights? I've done some archiving work, and people are so stingy with their copyright, they'd rather have their files rot into oblivion than give them up 30 years after the property stopped being relevant.

Though people are generally better at this than companies. Getting Activision to archive a copy of CoD: United Offensive? Not gonna happen. Legally. Yar har har haaarrr.

Anyways, here's to completely overhauling copyright law!

87. I never grew up with very old computers, but I grew up with relics of the past such as the n64, ds and nes.
