meta: weird points stuff
So some of you may have just experienced a surprising point drop. I'm not entirely sure why that happened since points should not be expiring, but the reason you got a lot of expirations at the same time is that a maintenance script had not been running. I think that's fixed -- it just ran 26 seconds ago -- but I'll have to check with Server Bro to make sure. But.... yeah, shouldn't happen in the future. I will look into why there are a bunch of expirations. I think it may be all the deleted comments from the last three months getting counted at the same time (and remember that innocuous children of deleted comments get nailed too).
As a bonus that script should make the mgolicious feed update regularly now instead of whenver I remember to do it manually.

Hundreds or thousands of stupid posts...just like this one. You too can get to 10,000 now without the fear of negbombs keeping you in line/
April 15th, 2011 at 12:53 PM ^
I'm enraged!!! I just lost over 25% of my worthless points!
Yeah, I looked at one page of my profile and it appears the points expired for being a year old.
April 15th, 2011 at 12:53 PM ^
... any idea when the old neg/pos system is going to come back?
it kept the riff-raff out.
April 15th, 2011 at 12:56 PM ^

April 15th, 2011 at 12:55 PM ^
...and 2nd rule too come to think of it...

uh-oh. Mgostagflation. We could be in for some trouble here in the MgoEconomy.
I hear BlueDragon industries (BDI NYSE) is still on the up-and-up, growing at nearly a 2000pts/mo rate. Buy now before he breaks the 10,000 point barrier!
I'm shorting the shit out of BDI. JGB Inc. is cornering the market.
You can trust me, I'm a couple classes short of a minor in econ, so obviously I'm an expert.
Are you two trying to become the Troy and Abed of MGoBlog?
I should point out, I'm not saying this as a negative thing. You're both entertaining and on my extremely exclusive Ultra-MGoBlog highlighted poster list.
on suspicion!
JGB is the RC Cola to BDI's Pepsi.
9769/3319=2.9433x total gross revenue for BDI and BDI is a much better known global brand.
I'd say that the situation is more comperable to BDI=Coke (New Coke Era) and JGB is Pepsi.
JGB's a small-timer. 'Nuff said. Plus BDI's avatar would mow down JGB's avatar without breaking a sweat.
New Coke beat Pepsi in blind taste tests by a huge margin. It was sweeter, so it impressed the public. Given a whole can to stew, however, and people realized they didn't want to drink a pixie stick (shamefully ripping off Blink),
I find RR's offense to be more like New Coke-exciting, sweeter, but over the long run doesn't settle well with the people. But Clemson will love em some New Coke, so everybody wins.
Saw someone try to post almost the same thing in the 'way too early friday' thread. Seems as the general mgopopulation doesn't realize how funny these post actually are. God that song was bad...
I just listened to it for the first time. You are not kidding, that is the worst song i have ever heard. Why does this person get to be famous?
Because most famous people really make valuable contributions to the world and excel in worthwhile pursuits . . . .
in the sand
What the hell!
First time I actually listened all the way through...meh, not the train wreck that warrants such media attention. But the logic of:
'I see my friends kicking in the front seat, my friends kicking in the back seat, gotta make up my mind which seat I'll take.' You freaking moron, the front seat is clearly already full, so you will sit in the backseat next to your ugly friends! There is no decision to make. Reminds me of an Aqua song.
This and Barbie Girl are lyrical masterpieces.
code yet. Prepare to be enlightened.
That was remarkable. Imaginary +1 for that.

Will someone think of the children in third world countries that don't have mgoblog points?

Just a bump in the road, I aspire that one day I can have Brian-like points.
I lost a lot of points - can't start a thread anymore.
Nobody wanted to read what you have to write anyways, so don't feel too bad
...I had a bunch of Negs expire? My points went UP!
turning snark up to 11
I was looking forward to making up 85000+ points
What happened to you?
Posbang party for people who suddenly found themselves in Bolivian?
I'm in. I am going to need one hell of a posbang...
This is going to make the FuManBlue saga look like paying $100 bail.
I don't even think you are even close to Bolivia.
