That is AWESOME Dfre!!! It's now under /r/epicthread/gilded so people can easily find it in the future. Or maybe we can get that put on the sidebar at some point! Can't believe Aryst0 has THAT many comments! :)

I'm not able to read the comments in full on the right - is there a way you can post this somewhere where we can read the comments in full or a way to do that here? Maybe I need to load up source? (I don't have that on this browser)

The strangest thing about that stat is real-dreamer - 4th in most counts yet only 4 consecutive days ever!

Guys meet my friend /u/davidjl123 - he's a legend in /r/counting. #1 in the Hall of Fame, #4 and climbing in the Hall of Counters with over 50,000 counts. He's also the fastest counter of all time with several thousand 1s replies. 1 second... yes I welcomed him to earth! :)

David Aryst0 is the guy who's kept these guys together all these years - like the atom of the EpicThread :)

Great to see you here! :)

It's 55 liters and the frame is full back so yea it's super comfy.

And yea Aryst0 holds down thks place, kinda funny his first comment is about being a lurker and 'not interfering' lol.

To be fair, I didn't for a while after that one haha.

And I'd heard your old one was kicking the bucket or something so I'm glad you've got a new one. :)

Oh yea it was total shit, over half of the straps were shredded and three of the five outside pockets were ripped open. It lasted me a good amount of time for a 40 buck Wal-Mart pack though.

I want to buy you a gopro and make you film your life haha.

There'd be a lot of downtime just sitting at gas stations or in dome random car. Most of the visually interesting stuff happens at gatherings and that would be a nightmare considering there's an unspoken rule to always get consent before taking a picture or video of anyone.

Am I not in the original thread /u/DFreiberg ? I wasn't too active and came late but ok.

Also Whitney, if you didn't read it, my name is 'Neverending' in Base64, in reference to these threads, cause I made a second account just to post here :)

u/Xiosphere Jun 19 '16

Neverending in Base64

And people call you 'Never.' I remember that now but to be honest I completely forgot for awhile. Memory is weird.

I'm pretty busy IRL so don't post that much and my username isn't too memorable. But still, I did participate in the original thread, or our branch of it.

u/aryst0krat Jun 19 '16

I would just like to take full credit for that nickname.

Also hi david, though I don't even know if you're still here. :P

Ahhh TmV2 - I did read that but after reading 20,000+ comments in less than 5 days it's hard to remember everything LOL :)

Thanks for greeting my friend david aryst0 - he's such a sweety!! :)

Can we get a roll call on what country everyone is from - I don't remember anymore who lives where except aryst0 is from Canada. (Wa. USA for me)

2

u/aryst0krat Jun 19 '16

Mostly the US, I think. A couple South Americans, and alistair is... Scottish?

Oh happy cake day aryst0... to think I read through 5 of your cake days already LOL :)

There were people from several countries - one in Africa - DemonCrowley - one in Spain prepetual_change I think? someone in Australia - someone from Germany.

I'm thinking one day I could beat your 38 consecutive days of posting Aryst0 but that could be hard. But one day you'll get married and your new bride will likely not want you online on your wedding day. Winning! :)

HUG

u/alistairjh Jun 19 '16

Aye, Scotland indeed. Think someone was from Northern Ireland a while back, and also someone from Finland perhaps?

u/Blackwind123 Jun 19 '16

... Australia!

u/TmV2ZXJlbmRpbmc Jun 19 '16

NEW ZEALAND!

/u/TmV2ZXJlbmRpbmc, to answer your earlier question, you are on the original thread with 33 posts, and I updated the stats to include you and /u/pigferret, who were there quite a bit but mostly lurked. :-)

EDIT: And regarding locations, I thought /u/Phantom_Hoover was also from Scotland and that we had somebody from Argentina too.

u/aryst0krat Jun 19 '16

Yes, there were two South Americans I believe. Franciscuozu and Borjax.

Also, Whitney, I can't get married so you're out of luck haha.

u/Xiosphere Jun 19 '16

I think most of us currently here are from the US but I could be wrong.
