The Dark Furie

Three Little Numbers

,

Two, Five, Zero.

Three little numbers. In two days time I've been here for two years. Five - the total amount of visitors I thought I'd get when I first came here. I didn't really understand how blogging worked, and I guess we all reckon we'll only get five visitors eh? Zero is the amount of subjects I thought I'd have to talk about after making that first tentative post. Two, five, zero. Three little numbers.


Today, as mentioned earlier, I'm just two days away from celebrating two years on this site. I'm also celebrating The Dark Furie entering the top 250 most visited blogs here out of 2,126,258 current members. As thanks to everyone that has visited and gotten me this far, all drinks are on me (cyber-drinks only, this piece of text has no monetary value - this is not a cheque, this is not a cheque, no monetary value, no monetary value) tonight and the music will go on until someone plays MC Hammer and gets thrown out the window. Hope you all enjoy the party.

Or get some advertising done. We'll kidnap Tamil and brainwash him into changing his forum signature to "Please read his short stories" to significantly increase the amount of links to your page. yes.
Hi Carol, help yourself to the bar.

Dacotah Saturday, February 28, 2009 11:48:35 PM

*hiccups* Thanks Mik wine drunk

Dark FurieFurie Sunday, March 1, 2009 12:00:13 AM

Not the entire bar. mad

theoddbod Sunday, March 1, 2009 12:03:06 AM

I'd probably be higher if I still posted once a week rather than once a month now.

I'm surprised you're not higher than you are, actually. I wonder if those on the first page constantly check nervously to see if they're still there sherlock. Most seem dull to me zzz

Dacotah Sunday, March 1, 2009 12:12:33 AM

p Open your bigeyes Mik, there is plenty of beer & wine party

Dark FurieFurie Sunday, March 1, 2009 12:29:56 AM

As many drinks as your fingers can type. wizard.

It's a pretty sad state of affairs when you think about it, really. Once you're on the front page of most visited you never have to bother posting again as people will see that your page is that popular and visit to see what the fuss is about. Give me two more years and I'll concentrate on comments elsewhere rather than posting. lol As long as I (or someone at least) lead the mobile charge into the top slots to prove it can be done, my "work" here will be complete. happy

Mad Scientistqlue Sunday, March 1, 2009 12:56:27 AM

It's the first time I've seen any hint from you that there may be others as good as or even better than you! bigeyes. But you're still the best source me information for mobloggers! up.

Dark FurieFurie Sunday, March 1, 2009 1:55:31 AM

Actually the guy who set up his own self hosted wordpress blog solely from Opera Mini 3 is way better than me. p I give credit where credit is due, as long as I'm interested enough to want to give credit. For example, I'm most jealous of Darko's writing skills at the moment for a post he wrote that was just so... Well to be honest I don't even know the word for it. Honest I guess. Emotional? Open? Whatever it was, it was something I've never been able to attain with my own personal posts and it blew me away when I read it. What so many take for ego and arrogance is merely my way of telling the world that they can do better and I believe in them.

As for moblogging information, tomorrow's post is about the Holy Grail of Opera Mini ( NOT FLASH! knight ) and how to achieve it. It's something I've been testing out recently that brings us closer to PC users in terms of functionality and I guarantee anyone who uses a mobile browser will want to read it.

KYrenKYren Sunday, March 1, 2009 6:10:56 AM

bigeyes self hosted wordpress blog solely from Opera Mini 3?
Do you think I have the capability for writing a good blog,Mik?

Darkogdare Sunday, March 1, 2009 6:35:42 AM

Congrats, Mik party cheers I hope there will be a lot more posts and visitors up
I don`t always comment on all of your posts, mostly because I am PC user and mobile blogging is not area. But be sure that I read every one of them.
Thanks for your kind words. I was always able to write about things I experience or witness. On the other hand, I am not capable to make a fiction smile

H82typ Sunday, March 1, 2009 8:04:05 AM

Which post of Darkos, Mik? The friends only one?

KYrenKYren Sunday, March 1, 2009 8:15:15 AM

Yeah,it's a friends only one.awww

KittyliciousZaphira Sunday, March 1, 2009 8:38:56 AM

Congrats, Mik. It's amazing how time flies, right?

Kiran, you can't befriend everybody just to see the friends only posts! bigsmile

Dark FurieFurie Sunday, March 1, 2009 12:11:56 PM

Kiran, does it really matter what I think? Really and truly? Your page is what you put into it and what you get out of it. If you aim to change the world, educating one single person about something they weren't aware of (like I wasn't aware of the emphasis Indians put on words in your english language post) accomplishes that. If you aim to make friends, finding one like-minded person accomplishes that. Are you happy with the things you write? Are you happy with the comments you get? In short, the question is do YOU think you have the capability to write a good blog? Cause no-one elses opinion really matters.

Darko, you almost had me all girly and emotional. left My personal posts end up as lists of what I've done or turn out more like my planned posts. The ability you showed in that post is something I lack. I don't always comment either (normally because my comments can easily become too jokey/preachy and kill a good post) but I try to read everything on my watchlist.

I don't know if it's friends only Dennis. Make a new friend then come back and follow the link to see. up.

Amazing indeed. Seems like only yesterday I met you and we took the piss outta Clint for taking women's tests. lol

r♡serose-marie Sunday, March 1, 2009 12:29:38 PM

Hey, look at that! You're rocketing away! party

Congrats on your T-2 days too! Who'd have thought they'd spend such a long time on one community... happy

KittyliciousZaphira Sunday, March 1, 2009 12:59:15 PM

I remember that test post clearly, damn that was funny! lol

I checked, and as far as I can see, you commented on my blog for the first time at April 1st. So in one month we have known each other for two years. faint

Dark FurieFurie Sunday, March 1, 2009 12:59:33 PM

Good people, Rosie. Good people make a community just that. bigsmile Even if they are bridge fetishists. left

Dark FurieFurie Sunday, March 1, 2009 1:00:41 PM

Two years of chaos, kitten. You've kept my mind young and inventive. yes

KittyliciousZaphira Sunday, March 1, 2009 1:02:44 PM

Likewise - doesn't it just feel good! happy

Dark FurieFurie Sunday, March 1, 2009 1:12:43 PM

Between the hospital visits. lol

KYrenKYren Sunday, March 1, 2009 1:41:23 PM

Got it friend,my blog is my own world view and thought process.No one else's opinion matters.
p congratulations btw.

Darkogdare Sunday, March 1, 2009 1:42:09 PM

lol

Dark FurieFurie Sunday, March 1, 2009 1:59:05 PM

yes As long as you're honest with yourself the visitors will come sooner or later. If you only have one regular visitor then you're doing something right.

Bad WolfCois Sunday, March 1, 2009 2:56:40 PM

Got that right.. I remember you commenting on one of my earliest posts when i redid my blog.. After that visitors came more often as normally I'd've given up if no-one was interested.. Carved my little niche from there and I can only hope to be a fraction as good as some here bigsmile

Dark FurieFurie Sunday, March 1, 2009 2:59:36 PM

My first fwiend. love *gives the puppy a Coisy snack*

Spaggyj Sunday, March 1, 2009 3:17:38 PM

He's my first too!

Dark FurieFurie Sunday, March 1, 2009 3:18:47 PM

We were virgins before him. He took our innocence. cry

H82typ Sunday, March 1, 2009 3:51:59 PM

happy I'll bet you're proud, Cois! Two cherries! w00t! headbang

Spaggyj Sunday, March 1, 2009 4:01:09 PM

Nobody can kidnap because I am inside well protected knight p(a)lace. p

theoddbod Sunday, March 1, 2009 5:36:11 PM

My first two aren't around any more, and the third was Fanny bigsmile. Kimmie was #5, almost 2 years ago.

Dark FurieFurie Sunday, March 1, 2009 5:49:17 PM

I remember you worried us cause you didn't know our hip and cool songs despite claiming to be our age. It was very Angussy of you, Mart. sherlock.

253? mad Must get more visitors! bomb I wonder if this is what the frontpage of that is like? Do they all visit each other in an attempt to feed off of each other's popularity? lol Who is number one at the moment anyway?

The Furtopian elite republican guard are surrounding your secret palace now. Soon you'll be handed to a guy in a giant banana suit to re-enact Nerak's avatar. devil

r♡serose-marie Sunday, March 1, 2009 6:17:02 PM

Number one would be the Desktop Team and something tells me they never will leave that place...

Mad Scientistqlue Sunday, March 1, 2009 6:23:23 PM

Karen, (aka: Nerak) will be chuffed. lol. Make sure you get it on video. devil.

Dark FurieFurie Sunday, March 1, 2009 7:15:09 PM

I'll take on the desktop team any day. knight

Spaggyj Sunday, March 1, 2009 8:22:37 PM

I'm your fifth, Mart? How come I don't remember what number you are? I feel like a total shit cry

theoddbod Sunday, March 1, 2009 9:26:11 PM

I don't remember, I checked my Inbox bigsmile. I keep every PM that isn't Shoutbox or Spam, so it was easy up.
I knew who the first was, but after that the order needs checking.
You added me on April 5th if that helps. Mik waited another month p

theoddbod Sunday, March 1, 2009 9:27:29 PM

I haven't got a record of when I added people, of course. But in the early days I added people as soon as they added me.

Spaggyj Sunday, March 1, 2009 11:02:53 PM

April 5th? Ok. I'm gonna go check my archive. I wanna know bigsmile . You were one of the very few I added without pming first lol bad me.

Spaggyj Sunday, March 1, 2009 11:12:31 PM

Ok, it seems to be
Clint
Isabel
Tori
Fan
Mart.

Freaky! It seems as though you were my fifth too!

Dark FurieFurie Sunday, March 1, 2009 11:17:02 PM

I delete my PMs when I'm done with them. Couldn't tell you when anyone added me, or even who has added me.

theoddbod Sunday, March 1, 2009 11:20:55 PM

In the beginning it was only women who seemed to add me, and I was getting a bit concerned that my friends list was just women and would seem a bit creepy left
Then it was st0le and Dennis who changed the mix...both strange characters p

Dark FurieFurie Sunday, March 1, 2009 11:23:37 PM

pssst Angus.

theoddbod Sunday, March 1, 2009 11:31:54 PM

No Angus ever added me...unless you're confessing something sherlock
