Steel Rat Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 If you were in any way linked or directed to this thread and are now reading this sentence or any post below, post in this thread. If you want to view the multiple pages, you will have to reply every time you're finished reading one page, or you will rack up views for every page you view without replying. Our goal is to have a ratio better than 1 reply for every 2 views. To accomplish this, reply multiple times without leaving the thread. If you want to cheat: QUOTE (ghostworks)step 1. select "Quick Reply" step 2. type something 3. click "Add Reply" and almost at the exact same time, quickly as you can, press your esc key 3. this will stop the auto refresh and it will appear as if your post didn't go through (even though it did) 4. select and erase the text from the Quick Reply box, and start again at step 1 Also, mind the 6 second flood control.

Steel Rat Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 So we'll have to beat 3 for 14. Or how about 1 for 3. I think by posting, you automatically add 2 views (one for entering the thread to post, and one for being redirected to the thread after posting) so 1 for 2 is impossible.

Steel Rat Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 I guess when you consistently reply without leaving the thread, you only add one view, so the key is to stay in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
