For the Centennial Post, we learn some Important Rules:

Upon reaching the Half-Millennial Post, we are reminded that things were not always blue skies and flowers...

And here at the Full Millennial Post, we revisit upon some good old computer advice. But that's not it - notice the post date! Just about a year and a month ago, with 99,000 posts in-between! Wow!!

You my not think there's anything special about our 10,000th post, but look again: HLP'ers are doing what they do best - helping each other out! *calls for a group hug* :p

Hmm, why is everyone looking at me funny...? :p
bah, I almost never post, and when I decide to get a bit more active on the forums, everyone falls over me for spamming...
Nice history lesson, btw. All this will be remembered two hundred years from now, for sure.

Beautiful compilation, dude. :D

It is interesting, though, that the postid=100000 doesn't actually point to Post #100K; Styxx made it while I was still online, and we were only at 99, 600 or so. :) As I make this post, it says postid=100500, while we're only up to 100, 300. :)

Anyway, congratulations everyone. I dare you all to try and defeat the Law of Setekh - that the Steak of Steaks will always have >10% of the posts. Bring it. :D
