400! What does the future hold for the island of misfit monkeys?
  • What does the future hold for the island of misfit monkeys? *looks into crystal ball, then reads tea leaves* *cries*
  • Maybe it's rife with alternate universes.
  • I mean - please post to the first one (~blargh~)
  • You know it's the alternate universe petebest doing this because he has a goatee.
  • You're not going to post this 400 times, are you?
  • I hope not, I've got coffee to drink. Also, 400 is a mystical number in Judaism. Worlds: # Four hundred men of Esau. # Four hundred men of David. # Four hundred years of exile in Egypt.
  • I'm reminded of the joke where the kid is jumping up and down on the manhole cover going "401, 401 , 401" until the next person comes along to ask what he's doing...
  • But who will be #404?
  • Obviously, it is time to have a party.
  • Broke MoFi Monkdini.
  • Heh. 402: Payment Required... come on, pay up. In alternate universe news, may I just say that 'duh' is a prodcut of fear? Thankyou. I'm having a party, certainly. I've just put on Jim Loy's greatest hits, and I'm dancing foonily. There's a vat of cock-punch in the fridge, and we've got a telepathic parrot handing out bananas in the chill-out room. Which is covered in Confoti. Numbers 400-402, welcome to our in-jokes. You know it's the alternate universe petebest doing this because he has a goatse I've misread that, haven't I?
  • 404!
  • I predict a "not found" page in the monkeyfilterfuture.com
  • you're all making me igry.
  • you're all making me igry. So blog it, Forky.
  • I would be curious to know how many of those 404 406 members have actually logged into MoFi in the last month.
  • I second that curiosity, and raise you a vague sort of request.
  • It would be cool to graph the membership in general by date of account creation - I feel like there are bursts of membership increases. I know I joined in the first big one, just after the threads about monkeyfilter's creation made their way to metatalk. Not that ID number machismo would be a good thing ("my number is incrementally lower than yours!" "That's just because it's in direct proportion to your IQ!")- but I am curious about the growth.
  • Maybe I shouldn't say this, but I've got 3 memberships of my own. I only use one though. And Wolof, don't you command the mighty Dr Zaius?
  • [I'm ignoring this thread.]
  • [Sorry tracicle - that wasn't a request for work from you, because I think I could do the graphing easily by taking just membership number and date joined. Please ignore all pony, or even banana requests, and thank you thank you thank you for all your hard work]
  • what do you do with extra monkefilter logins? Squabble amongst yourself? Not that I don't see the appeal of having multiple personae. Do not! Do too! can't take him anywhere. . .
  • what do you do with extra monkefilter logins? They're useful for starting flame wars.
  • Wolof sooo does not command me. I mean, dude, seriously. Have some respect, yes? I hereby command you all to dance like gibbons. While listening to the Pet Shop Boys. Do it, or you shall feel my wrath. Oh, go on, do it. I am. Please?
  • While searching for dancing monkeys I found this very excellent warning. Sage advice, really.
  • whisky & coke + that post = wet keyboard damn you
  • [Chee-chee-chee-chee-chee] /dancin' like a freak I don't want a pony, but I would like a baby elephant. Pretty please, tracicle. I will be ever so good.
  • Wolof sooo does not command me. Ah, but I believe I know who you are.
  • I'm secretly two hundred other users.
  • Ah, but I believe I know who you are. Do you? DO YOU? OK, you do. But not for long... That thing you said, yeah, quite soon. A change is coming, a great and terrible change. With bananas.
  • My plan is working. I'm slowly forcing the evil Zaius into the open, where I can destroy him. MWAHAHAHAHAHA
  • Just mentioning that I don't actually know who Dr Zaius is, except that Wolof may have told me the first time. It's a cool idea, though. Mystery-shopper poster and all that. And jb, I don't mind that part - and if you want to make something like that, the code will be up at sourceforge soon. :) I'm ignoring the multiple memberships for now, because I know what sort of debate it started at MeTa.
  • I'll kill my extra memberships, actually. I shouldn't have brought them up I suppose...
  • We're back down to 405, now. I hope it doesn't turn out that there's really only 6 people on here...
  • dng, don't worry about it - it'll be a long, long time before we have the membership problems that MeFi does.
  • I'll have to re sign them up now... (They didn't matter anyway - I'd signed them up around the time of this post, for the purpose of highly amusing comments, but never got round to using them, due to an inability to actually write anything funny)
  • It would be cool to graph the membership in general by date of account creation - I feel like there are bursts of membership increases. No graph, sorry. Just lots of data.

All 430 account pages. Wanker.
  • Wow dng - you're not the dullest monkey, just the most impressive. I had started something like that, but gave up half way.
  • Thanks jb - you've made me blush now...
  • dng - That's incredibly fantatstic. You definitely win some kind of prize. Er, have you read your email recently? November 26th & 27th - these days shall be remembered by monkeys for long after we are dead have deleted our accounts... Not that I was around then, of course; more of a December person, myself. Fashionably late, I like to call it.
  • Only 3 people know what flash is talking about, soon to be 4. Mysterioso, yes?
  • dng, did you go through every single account number? You blow me away. And you definitely deserve a trailer-load of cock punch-dipped bananas.
  • uninpressive, dng, I want a 15 pages worth report by tomorrow with 30 extra pages of useless pie graphs, standart deviations, statitical analisis, projected membership increases for the next 20 years and a complete explanation on why the ducks fly to the south on winter based on lamarckian evolution principles.
  • Oh man.
  • Coming soon
  • We are now poised on the brink of our population having doubled in less than two months. *drum roll...*
  • Done.
  • So who's the lucky fucker? Own up! Out yourself!
  • The 800th user.
  • Oop! Ack! /throws_banana
  • Pretty soon, 1000. (As goetter wrote somewhere, and I'm too half-arsed to dig it up.) Lame Irish joke related in a homonymal manner: Paddy: I'd be after a job on this here construction site. Foreman: Fair play to ye and all, but first ye need to convince me you know the difference between a girder and a joist. Paddy: Nothin' simpler. Goethe wrote Faust, and Joyce wrote Ulysses.
  • 1499 ...
  • Which one of them paid the quarter? All of them!
  • And there's member 1500 ticked over just now. Good stuff!
  • Ah, posted by that "Anonymous" fellow. I never knew him, but he sounds personable, handsome, intelligent, and hung! *sings, "Goils were goils and men were meeeennnn . . Mistah we could use a man like Hoibeht Hoovah agaaiiinnn . . "*
  • I presume that this was posted by petebest3.14 or something?
  • This was posted way back when pete_best was only pete_mediocre.
  • *diddy-boom!*

  • Give me your three-toed, ring-tailed brothers. Your hairy-armed Monkeys yearning to scratch fleas, Those banana-loving knuckle-dragging others. Monkeyfilter: Obviously, it is time to have a party. dng: do the words obsessive-compulsive ring a bell? Monkeyfilter: Rife with alternate universes.
  • 1515 now. Anybody interested in buying lottery? We have a type here where you pick 4 digits (0 to 9, each number can be repeated), and you bet on it. It's called (imaginatively) 4D. Is it an Asian gamblin' thang, or do USian and Euro monkeys also have this?
  • I looked up 1515 in the wikipedia but as it turns out, all that happened was that a bunch of people killed a bunch of other people. Oh, and Sweeden seceded. From . . somebody.
