Just over five years since the current iteration of the Cemetech forum opened at InvisionFree, we have reach 1,000 users! These one thousand are all human, non-spam users, since Cemetech's antispam measures implemented by our member and my co-administrator elfprince13. A bit of history on this special occasion, of which you can read more at Cemetech :: About. As a few of you may remember, the very first Cemetech forums took the form of a message board embedded in an ancient geocities website, a single-page of threaded discussions about Cemetech and its projects; of all of you, I think only tifreak8x was around at that point. In July 2004, Cemetech opened an InvisionFree forum, which used to be accessible at , but which now is hidden behind a redirect to this site. In March 2005, I created a phpBB forum on the new site [url=http://www.cemetech.net]http://cemetech.designerz-core.com, which no longer exists; later in that year, I moved to paid hosting with Jatol and then moved to SurpassHosting when Jatol went under a year and a half ago. The Cemetech forum thus has posts contiguous to over four years ago, and a users list and postcount dating back to July 2004, well over half a decade ago.

Congrats to everyone for some of the other impressive numbers; hopefully you all love statistics as much as me. I of course have the most posts, with 26,350 in the past five years, just over one-quarter of the grand total, and 617,000 of the 3.3 million total words that Cemetech posts boast to date (excludes quoted text). Tifreak8x comes in second with 6,645 posts and 183K words, the ever-controvertial Kllrnohj follows on his heels with 6,514 posts and a whopping 364K words, Ultimate Dev'r is in fourth with 6,117 posts and 148K words, and elfprince13 trails in a close fifth with 5K posts and 200K words. 3,471 topics have been posted with a total of 94,130 posts and over 6 million topic views from members and the internet at large. The file archives is currently just shy of 400 entries, the majority written by me but the remaining items contributed by 38 other authors, bringing in 14.6K downloads. Of course, this pales in comparison to a number that continues to surprise me, the 755,000 downloads that my-slash-Cemetech's programs have earned at the perennially-dominant ticalc.org, or over three-quarters of a million.

Here's to many more decades of growth and success as Cemetech continues to follow its founding principles of graphing calculator development and expands into new and exciting technologies. Thanks for all your hard work!

Edit: Rivereye, the pre-eminent and long-standing Cemetech user and officer, has pointed out an error that I am happy to correct. He, not elfprince13, holds the distinction of the fifth-highest posting user, with 5,344 posts and 118K words; elfprince, alas, falls to sixth place.

w00t. Party it up. I feel special, because my name was mentioned TWICE in a single news posting. oh snap.

Very nice. Yay Cemetech?

Of which only ~10 still post



Haha I remember the text-based forum; I know swivel and I were around, but we were but mere lurkers at the time



You only think it's hidden

Heh; I remember you banning me for 3 days when my post count got dangerously close to yours



Fixed

Haha, good times, I had forgotten about banning you, although I'm sure it was for a less self-serving reason than to remain the highest-posting user. And elfprince13, glad you liked the double-mentioned.

I hate to be a stickler, but I believe your posts counts are a bit off my friend. I happen to be in 5th for post count, and have it by about 250 posts atm, unless you recently forgot about me and my semi-return (just trying to get back into the swing of things). Now I know my word count is nowhere near as impressive as other people's a (something I really need to work on I think), but I still have the post count.

Either way, these are all really good numbers to see, and I am happy to still see this site has not lost its steam.

Awww SNAP! Rivereye is throwin it DOWN!

w00t w00t post wars!

Seriously, though, Kerm, how could you screw that up? Just sort by post count...

Technically I've never been banned; just "suspended" several times by you

Rivereye, you're absolutely correct, my apologies. I have amended the first post of this topic and the associated article with your correction.

I just call them as I see them Kllrnohj. I figured that someone like Kerm though would take the time to research something so easily available to him, especially since it is his own site.


A good 20 hours and no correction, hmm... More things slipping your mind Kerm, guess I might have to take things into my own hands.

One would think.



Kerm didn't actually edit the article; just added a footnote.

lol, sweet, still holding spot #2. XD

I really should try to put more effort into being more active. Maybe once I get some of these projects going again..

You really should. I think people get quite excited about your projects when you make progress and post cool screenshots, which of course makes me happy as site admin. I need to do the same, though, since I've been slacking a bit on DCS7 etc.

lol, yeah, I know.

Hopefully once I get this program I am working on up and running completely, I can get some serious work done on pokemon. I am going to have to make a run through my programming logs I keep to see where it was I left off of again. bleh. ><;

And yes, some updates on DCS would be nice. =p

At least you have kept track, that's smart of you

I need to finish uploading these pictures and tagging them, then finish writing that BranchMap python program. Once that's working I'll be able to more easily trace through DCS's execution flow and design an arbitrary-depth execution model.
