i wanted to post #100 here, but there was nothing more of interest/ application that i could find, so i'm doing it in my own topic.
in other news,

there was this "work of art" i saw in the MOMA today that made me want to kill people even more. it was a big canvas that looked like it had been pulled out of a 5 year old's portfolio. it had all the nessesary pieces, the s###ty, 5 year old handwriting, no joke, and the crappy drawings where it's like, what the hell is that, and the kid's like ....yo, pops, it's a freakin' cow, ok?
and that's NOT ######ING ART.
thank you.

Yeah, not everyone replies to every topic made on the boards in the past two years on a daily basis.

I don't think that interpretation is appropriate for these forums.

Because you haven't reached the number of posts to advance to the next level, and it was originally a Junior Member/Member thing before the Satu stuff was implemented.

Actually, you might not see it at all and be stuck with member until 1000.

I think he will (be stuck with member) until 1000, but I could be wrong. If you have member before the changes, I think you keep it; hence, Wizard is a junior member still.

Wow you guys sure went off with my spelling mistake.

And yes I was trying to spell "beating" and the reason I said, "try beating 15,000" is because it's super rare that anyone has a super solid member number such as 15,000! sure you may have a lower number and have joined earlyer but mine will always look cooler.

Oh and a side note: I'm new to the Cythera boards but man do these topics start one place and end another. What if this forum crash lands into Ferazel?

EDIT: Omen messed with my speelngi again.

Isn't it because there's nothing else to talk about in this topic?

Satu, Dua, Tiga, and Empat. Okay, dua has something to do with 2, obviously, but satu tiga and empat?

Oh, so Satu's Hungarian and Indonesian for 1 (looked it up). Let's see about dua.

Dua's Indonesian for 2! Why indonesian? Let's see about Tiga.

Indonesian for 3! Empat...

You guessed it, Indonesian for 4. Why Indonesian, I wonder.

How's this for a theory?

Maybe they had a whole load of pieces of paper (with names of languages written on them) in a hat to select what language the member titles would be in, picked one out randomly, and it happened to be Indonesian. Having run out of ideas, they decided the member titles would be 1, 2, 3 and 4, only translated into Indonesian.

I think they just thought that Indonesian is rare enough to be really cool.

Of course, someone who didn't see dua and tiga and empat might have thought they were Hungarian.

I've seen some forums with lame ranks with just numbers (spelled out), so maybe they wanted to be original and put them in a different language. And Indonesian was chosen because, I dunno, they thought no one would recognize it?

Here's a wild theory:

An alien ufo from outer space came down and said a slur of alien words, and then, knowing two or three languages on Earth, repeated numbers 1-4 in Indonesian, English, German, and then, I dunno, Lithuanian (Wikipedia's featured article! haha) to test what language the humans from Ambrosia spoke. When everyone looked confused and startled, the aliens took off. Later, they looked up satu. dua, tiga, and empat, the first words the aliens said after the slur and before "one, two, three...," and found they were Indonesian numbers 1-4. Later still, remembering how the aliens spoke Indonesian numbers, the ranks on the new forums were decided at "Satu, Dua, Tiga, and Empat." Tadaaaaaa!
