Revenant100 Posted March 23, 2018 100k 'tis a great number indeed. I think someone should make a Doom 2 map based on it. 4 Share this post Link to post

Pegleg Posted March 23, 2018 I'm curious to know what happened to lead to this thread? Did someone claim to have made a map with 100K things? Or have 100K viewers on a stream? I imagine the post got deleted due to massive trolling, but I'm just wondering what happened. 2 Share this post Link to post

RjY Posted March 25, 2018 I believe this was the real thread 100000. I confess I had looked for it out of curiosity a few days ago (before this one was created) after seeing a link to a different six-figure thread. I also note that, if left open, it constantly notifies you of having new replies, and duplicates its existing ones if the popup is clicked. Without a doubt, something strange is going on there. 1 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted March 26, 2018 In this crazy topsy turvy world we live in now, who's to say what it means to be thread #100000, exactly? Like, it's the number in the URL, right? If a thread has threadid 100000, then it is obviously the thread that is associated with the id of 100000. And what if this thread here came by that number in an unconventional way? They're all just numbers in a database, right? Well, numbers change. Sometimes they might get moved around. People don't care where the numbers come from, just what they are today. And today, this is the thread with threadid 100000. 8 Share this post Link to post

pritch Posted March 26, 2018 Would this be some of that fake news I keep hearing about these days? I really don't understand the internet any more. The sweet spot was when I joined this forum, late 2001. I've been saying for ten years that Facebook peaked in 2007, visually and, given my age now, relevancy / content wise, too. And as for Doom, that increasingly feels like a childhood blanky that I need to throw myself under at times. 4 Share this post Link to post

More like being immune from being banned and calling the shots themselves, if I have to spell it out. Same reason many want to be cops, really. Even though in real life, a cop and other authority figures will be -for the most part- answerable to a superintendent of sorts. Internet forums OTOH tend to be run more like many little independent dictatorships, benevolent or otherwise. 0 Share this post Link to post

This being Doomworld, we're lucky it didn't go the way of gun control or something. Which is linked to authority, if you think about it... 1 Share this post Link to post
