Well, I made a small program that generates a random number between 1 and 184.

It is at www.guitartricks.com/rand.php (http://www.guitartricks.com/rand.php)

So to select a winner, I'm going to

1. click that page for a random number.
2. check which user that is.
3. see if the user is on the bad-email/bogus-user list.
4. if the user is good, procede, if not, go back to step 1.
4. come back here and tell you who won.

minor glitch, I see that the system says there are 187 users, so I reset the random number program to a number between 1-187. There are probably a few missing members(I know that I deleted user number 1, for instance).

Anyway......here we go....

i have it on very good authority that robrules is dead. he was killed in an unfortunate accident yesterday, in which i was in no way involved. i must stress the word accident. even if there is some remote link that you can find between myself and robrules' demise, there is absolutely no proof.

Now, how about we roll that die again, eh?

i love horsies. bad horsies are bad because they do bad things, like stepping on people and biting people's faces and not eating their steaks for dinner. when they are bad i hit them, but they just step on me and bite my face. my doctor tells me to stop giving horsies steaks, but i love them too much to deprive them of red meat.

what a trip down the ol' memory lane...when there were only 187 members, life was so much more carefree, and my posts made absolutely no sense at all...

187, damn. I think when I signed up ages ago, there was over a couple thousand.

And by the way, GET A LIFE!! :D


Muahahaha, got you good.

187 members? That's all? There's no way! I think that maybe the forum is only telling you about members that have signed up recently, or something.

I just glanced at the members page. There were 30 users on the page, and 805 pages to the members list... I'm pretty sure that makes over 187 members... I'm thinking more along the line of somewhere around 24000 members!

TheDirt

After a final look at the members page, there are 804 pages with 30 members each, and the final page has 11 members. Taht's a grand total of 24131 members... With only 187 members in the lottery you think maybe we didn't all have a shot at that pedal?

TheDirt, you need to look at the dates of these posts. This was long ago when this site first began.

Not recently.

:D

Haha, it's cool. I did the same thing. I was like, what the heck. And then I saw that it was from 2000. Too bad I didn't come until December of 2000, could've got a shot at that pedal :D.
