I have rarely seen someone as self-owned as a poster saying "listen pal, you may have friends but I have more money than you."

What if I have no money and no friends??? What do I win?

Ages ago, there was a thread talking about what browsers goons use or something, and radium came into the thread with stats, noting that there was one special user browsing the forums from a web tv, in like, 2008-ish, and he banned them for it.

Radium:
I’ve been running stats on the forum cluster for about a week now. Here’s some neat facts that stood out.
On average, we serve over 2.5 million PHP pages per day, which is about 29 PHP pages per second.
The forums serve out well over 200GB of just HTML every day. This makes me want to cry.
The forums are busiest between 8PM-12AM CST. 5AM is the lowest traffic time.
Over 60% of forum requests are served to a Firefox browser. IE gets 29%, Opera 3.5%, Safari 3.5%, Mozilla 1.5%, with the rest going to total crap like Netscape and Konqueror.
The most addicted person on the forums views over 10,000 PHP pages per day. I won’t tell you who this is, don’t ask. If this is you, god drat, get a job.
The most cocked up piece of poo poo search engine spider is Inktomi Slurp, which decided it needed to make over 40,000 requests one day. I changed robots.txt to stop that.
Over 75% of forum sessions last more than 15 minutes.
About 91% of visitors are on Windows. Mac users make up 5% and Linux is 2%. The other 2% are permabanned IRC trolls browsing the forums with a text-based browser written in Ruby on OpenBSD. Oh yeah, we have one guy using WebTV but I banned him because WTF.
The top search phrases that lead to the forums so far this month are:
gloryhole
gay porn
big bang
goonwap
bangbrothers
saclopedia
dead jews
salastread
mario level
learn how to be anorexic
And, yes, those are all real.
I found this, from early 2005 :v:

Also I found this the other day when somebody was asking how to find old Lowtax threads.

Sorry, Lowtax.
