How many forum members does it takes to change a light bulb?


1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed
14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently
7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs
1 to move it to the Lighting section
2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
5 to flame the spell checkers
3 to correct spelling/grammar flames
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid
2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"
15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct
19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty
7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs
4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's
3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group
13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

Haha, I found this here, I didn't write it. I just thought it was funny. They also have some other funny stuff. It is kinda a site about mircosoft and all their bugs.

Sony is okay, but they tend to over-price things. Microsoft is dumb, the only reason I use it is because all my games are conpatible with it. Like the Sims (First one) and Zoo Tycoon. They have 1,000's of bugs, and my computer locks up a lot, and can run slow. I'd use apple if my software was compatible and if I knew it better. A lot better. Same with Lynx. Nintendo is alright, but they are WAY over priced. $50 for a game?? That is crazy!

Lmfao, I was very amused by that. We could add a PC spin and say like, "20 members to report the same post for random reasons." =X It happens.

1 to move it to the Lighting section
x3 I swear I thought you were talking about me for a second, lmao.

We really *do* need to make the PC equivalent to this, though.

That one is great. I dunno why, but it's reminded me of myself.

I'm all for that idea. *takes out blueprints that he's started in advance*

XD so true of any board, for some reason this made me think of the gfaqs forums in general.
"We must carry war into every corner the enemy happens to carry it, to his home, to his centers of entertainment:a total war. It is neccesary to prevent him from having a moment of peace, a quiet moment outside his barracks or even inside; we must attack him wherever he may be, make him feel like a cornered beast wherever he may move. then his moral fiber shall begin to decline, but we shall notice how signs of decadence begin to disappear."- Che Guevara

That is soo funny and soo true... but it relates to nearly any forum - that's the beauty of it. There are people who'll really do everything on that. I'd be the one that would share similar experiences of changing light bulbs... Also - I counted 179 people post in that thread... so it must have been popular. And there really should be a PC version of this. Should we start one and see where it goes?
