Title: Posts: I'm a geek!!
Post by: Resident Geek on April 03, 2007, 04:52:53 PM
LOL. I was messing around with my forum, and I discovered that if you put up for than 7 digits for the number of posts by one person, instead of displaying the actual number of posts, it says:
I'm a geek!!

LOL

Thought it was funny. Just a random thought. Try it yourself though!

Perhaps you could say that in english? lol
I think what you are talking about is an easter egg.

I'm not sure what he said either IB or I would try to duplicate it myself, just for the fun of it. :)

What I'm saying is that if you are logged in as an admin and open up someone's profile. Change thier settings to say that they have at least a million posts. Instead of saying
Posts: 1212121 (or whatever)
when ever they post, it says:
Posts: I'm a geek!!

Ah, OK, I'll try it.

LOL! Then I went to the SMF site to see if anyone there has found the same thing. I type in "Easter Egg" and up pops an Easter Egg screen that says:

Huh?
You have not found an easter egg. There are only m��se here!

LOL!! Too funny! I found 2 Easter eggs in less than 20 minutes! LOL!  :2funny:

Both well known among avid SMF users lol. ;D But good catch.

I think if you make 1000 posts it will say L337.
Title: Re: Posts: I'm a geek!!
Post by: bloc on April 04, 2007, 10:57:01 PM
Theres more. Try a search for "easter egg" on the sm.org site. ;)
Title: Re: Posts: I'm a geek!!
Post by: Resident Geek on April 04, 2007, 11:05:50 PM
No, that would be 1337...
1337 is Leet upside-down. (Don't ask how a geek knows these things...)  :)
Title: Re: Posts: I'm a geek!!
Post by: Resident Geek on April 04, 2007, 11:06:43 PM
ya, I already found that one. Look at past posts.

Does anyone know what "m��se" is???
Title: Re: Posts: I'm a geek!!
Post by: Skhilled on April 07, 2007, 01:57:57 AM
You're right. My bad.

I'm assuming "m??se" = mouse or moose.

Where at we can found all the "easter egg" link's for this Bloc?
Title: Re: Posts: I'm a geek!!
Post by: IchBin on April 07, 2007, 05:15:34 AM
Search for them at the SMF site.
Title: Re: Posts: I'm a geek!!
Post by: Shadow on April 07, 2007, 05:17:52 AM
I did do that and nothing come up on the site but one.
Title: Re: Posts: I'm a geek!!
Post by: IchBin on April 07, 2007, 05:22:18 AM
My search there came up with like 4 or 5 pages referring to easter eggs.
Title: Re: Posts: I'm a geek!!
Post by: Shadow on April 07, 2007, 05:26:54 AM
That odd thought. My search come up with 1 easter eggs
Title: Re: Posts: I'm a geek!!
Post by: JPDeni on April 07, 2007, 05:57:40 AM
Try searching for easter eggs instead of easter egg. You'll get a number of topics returned.
Title: Re: Posts: I'm a geek!!
Post by: Shadow on April 07, 2007, 06:00:18 AM
Alright, I will do that then. Thanks Ich & JPDeni
Title: Re: Posts: I'm a geek!!
Post by: Resident Geek on April 07, 2007, 05:52:58 PM
Yah. That's what I did. I found a number of them but the really good ones you won't find there apparently. [Unknown] gets mad if people start putting his easter eggs up for lots of people to see.
Title: Re: Posts: I'm a geek!!
Post by: Shadow on April 07, 2007, 06:30:45 PM
O, I didn't know he get mad about that.  Do you know the good one's?

It would be fun to do this on my own site next year for Easter or even Halloween.
Title: Re: Posts: I'm a geek!!

UnKnown is no longer with the project. But I never saw him get mad.

In the many posts by him that I have read I never seen him get mad either.  Even though he's not still with the project, he must certainly be an amazing coder.  If it wasn't for him the SMF software that we all use today would not be as versatile as it is.  I wish he was still with the project, but unfortunately he's not.  He does still check in occasionally though ...

... probably to check to see whether anybody has found any more of the large number of Easter Eggs that he put into the original code. ;D

Yeah, but sort of fun to read. ;)  It makes me wonder if Bloc has put any Easter Eggs into TP. ::)  Anybody started looking for those yet? :2funny:

Why he ain't with the SMF project anymore?  If you don't mind of me asking this...

Bloc did post about it to the team members.

If you were doing what Bloc was doing; SMF development, SMF themes, Bloc Zone, Tiny Portal development, TP Themes and still have time for your family wouldn't you feel a bit stretched?

Unknown left for personal reasons. He never came right out and gave any specific reason that I'm aware of. The most amazing thing I remember about him, is how young he was. I think he is in his early twenties if I remember right. A coder that young and as good as he is was pretty incredible. But back to the topic, easter eggs...

Happy easter! :D

Thanks you guy's for telling us and Im sorry to off of topic some about him.
Title: Re: Posts: I'm a geek!!
Post by: Resident Geek on April 09, 2007, 07:48:27 PM
Sorry. Mad was the wrong word. Dissapointed at people posting them up maybe, but no flames or anything. Sorry.
There is another Easter Egg I found. If you are viewing the ssi_examples page in your browser, try clicking on the words at the bottom that say, "This functionality can be used to allow you to present the information in any way you wish."
See what happens?

I'll be looking for those easter eggs Bloc... ;D
