Tell Me About Purple!

[indianafrank]

Lately I've seen some posters receiving the prestigious purple reward. I'm still a newbie to this forum. Can someone please enlighten me to what the prestigious purple is.
I have purple underwear, and purple socks. Does that count?

 

[misterlowercase]

+66 more posts and you will be purple!

 

[cosmicfolklore]

And, once your purple your allowed to post things and respond.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Not that you couldn't do it before, but... it is a perk.

 

[brian64]

Actually, you've already achieved something much greater than the Purple. You've gone well past the year mark with less than 500 posts...which shows a great restraint that most of the rest of us were incapable of.

That's true.
One thing I'm gonna try to do is achieve the negative hours mark which some members here have achieved,

I am envious of negative hours because mine are currently at 4645 hours...

...my theory is at some point after a certain amount is surpassed it flips to negative,

so I'm gonna stay logged in as long as possible!

LOL

:P
Don't try to say that I'm copying Cosmic,

because really,

I am!

He's currently at -4619 hours:

The bastard!

Wow! If the system is using smallint (2 bytes) for that counter, it'd take 32,767 to overflow back into -32,768. That's a metric ton of hours.

 

[misterlowercase]

That's a metric ton of hours.

Mama Mia!
I don't exactly know what that actually is,

but it sounds like a helluva lot!


How will I ever become a member of the Negative Hours Online Club!?!?!?!?

8)

 

[prairiedruid]

That's a metric ton of hours.

I blame Canada for this.

 

[misterlowercase]

Some members have only had a Total Time Online as 1 minutes,

which I'm also envious of!

[cosmicfolklore]

I really didn't mean to go negative. I had no idea. My apologies. Ha!

 

[misterlowercase]

haha
...my strategy isn't working,

I've been logged in almost all day (minimized screen) and it's going in real time,

standing at 4649 hours online now,

that's almost half a year!
365 day year = 8760 hours.
What am I doing with my life?

LOL

:lol:
Logging off now,

distraught & saddened.
Good night PipesMagazine.com,

until we meet again...
...in about 8 or 9 hours.

LOL

Frank, here how it works:

By the way, I heard that purple members receive salaries on monthly basis. $1 for a single post.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I leave a laptop on at my workbench to post between jobs. So my time may be artificially inflated. You can tell by my post count that I barely ever even use this site... But, I can't explain why I am starving to death, ha ha!

 

[cigrmaster]

Purple means that Kevin buys you a hooker, an 8 ball of blow and a suite at your choice of hotels, hell of a deal this being purple stuff.

 

[derfatdutchman]

The best perk of being purple is the decoder pin, lets you know the secret website where all the hard to find blends are available. Hmm, maybe I shouldn't have posted this, why are there three pipe smoking men in dark suits knocking at my door? Where did that black helicopter come from....

 

[onestrangeone]

hmm, at my current rate it will take me 34 months to reach this exalted position.

 

[indianafrank]

Thanks to all.
Well it looks like I will never be purple. At my rate of posts it will take me approximately 23 years, at which time I will be well beyond dead.
Now if there was a color for lurking...

It took me 4 years. You are almost there in 1.3.

 

[demetrakopoulos]

I've been a green horn for the past two months, so I have a ways to go. But I suppose this post puts me closer.
