A warning to all postwhores

A WEST NYACK, N.Y. MAN was found dead at his computer apparently the victim of trying to keep up with too many professional forums. Childress H. Wanamaker, 54, an account executive at a New York-based new media company, died of starvation according to the West Nyack coroner's office. Wanamaker's emaciated body was found by Loraine, his wife of 26 years, who told MediaPost she had been bringing her husband meals on plastic trays for weeks, but that he never took the time to eat them.
"He was glued to his computer 24/7," she said tearfully. "He was so afraid he was going to miss an opportunity to contribute a comment or start a discussion, that he just stopped eating." She added that Wanamaker's last words were "OK Picard, stick that in your pipe and smoke it..."

Computer forensic specialists from SUNY at Cortland discovered that Wanamaker was subscribed to 48 different forums and networking communities including one apparently having to do with the elderly called "oldtimers" and another apparently limited to just 100 people. They also found that he posted a comment into one forum or another on an average of two per minute every hour of the day for the past seven weeks.

Thats great! Sorry old chap... but I guess somethings gotta take each one of us out.

thats freakin crazy, i better chill out!

:lol: That's crazy though, 2 replies per minute for seven weeks striaght.

I haven't haven't whored anything. Man, I will never be ablle to shake off the "AF's official post whore".

You brought it on yourself :p

Indeed.





So what kind of medal do I get?

She added that Wanamaker's last words were "OK Picard, stick that in your pipe and smoke it..."

LMAO! :lol:

Holy crap; unhealthy (to the max) obsession!

Subscribed to 48 forums and never let a thread go uncommented. :cwm27: :cwm27:

Can we create an E-Darwin Award just for this guy?

Why didn't she get help for the guy before he starved? please tell me this is just a joke.

~Raz's postwhore apprentice

As much as I enjoy the banter with the wide cast of characters here on AF. There is a limit to my involvement in these forums. I am close to death on a daily basis waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting for a thread I can post on. Even to the point of obsession, but at least I will take the time to eat a kernal of popcorn or two ... :lol:

Singing in Homer Simpson voice:

i...am...a post whore...i'm just posting to post. la-la-la-la-laa. posting....posting...mmmmm donuts.

If he would have eaten those donuts he would have survived. That means that this guy is dumber that Homer J. Simpson.

:spit: :spit: :spit: :spit:
:lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

I haven't haven't whored anything. Man, I will never be ablle to shake off the "AF's official post whore".Oh please, that story has nothing on Raz's record. He has 5 pc's all networked sending out automatic responses. He will always be the post whore king. :evillol:


So what kind of medal do I get?You get the Golden Middle Finger award. May it point you to enlightenment. :p just j/k with ya Raz.

Seriously, thats a bit too obsessive.

TS out (sending Raz the award)

I just checked Raz's profile and he is holding at 10 posts a day. That is alot, but I think it still gives him time to eat.

10 posts within 8.5 hours is nothing compared to that man. What do you people expect me to do at work then?

Geez, come on Raz; at least TRY to live up to your title!

Your tempting me.

rofl!! I wonder how many I post a day??

Guess I should dump a few of my forums before I get too desperate. I guess the Incest Survivor's Forum can go first. Then the Sickle Cell Anemia Forum, The Heart Shakra forum. Bunch of psychopaths... Nymphomaniac Help Network Forum...

I wonder if that guy was ever a member of this forum? :comprage1

Hehehe. Sorry.

Gotta admire the dedication.

My postwhoring days were over years ago. Yes, I've been here that long.

I just checked Raz's profile and he is holding at 10 posts a day. That is alot, but I think it still gives him time to eat.Yeah thats now, but back in his heyday, he was posting left and right. In fact, this is what he had back in June of 04. Mind you, he joined in Jan. :eek:

It was so much that we ended up giving him the special title. But after a while it was decided to scale back his post counts and his title.

TS (investigative reporter signing) out :p

I hope that guy didn't reproduce.

Raz hasn't earned such a name. It was me and MOss that used to compete for most posts in a day and it is Kicker that has forever earned the title "Official AF post whore'

Damn, someone always has to spoil my fun. No banana for you.

TS out

^Damn...oh well. Given though, Raz isn;t a post whore but he sure does make a lot of useless threads. He could be the Official AF useless thread maker???? SOunds gay, but I think it fits! :p

geeze, slip the man some ensure or something..... you can still type on the keyboard while slurpin on a straw.......

feeding tube would of worked!

Imagine if that guy's internet was down for 10 minutes....

....Yeah, he might have survived. That would have been a tragedy.

TS love Raz's profile 150 post per day :lol2:

BTW do you guys know if this is a true story

I have heard of several people dying from continous gaming - I'd imagine postwhoring would have its share of deaths too. I guess nature has a way of weeding out people who contribute absolutely nothing to the world except their postcount :)

GT Mike is our biggest postwhore, just look at him: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/member.php?u=60524 , 204000 posts since joining in feb2003 is practically impossible, unless hes a complete loser that spends all his free time in front of the computer.

Lets say he sleeps 8 hours and works 8 hours a day, this leaves 8 hours for his leisure. according to his profile, Mike is averaging 256.8 posts per day. in 8 hours of free time, 60 mins to an hours, thats 480 minutes of usable posting time per day. 480 minudes divided by 256.8 posts per day is 1.87 posts per minute. or a post about every 32.1 seconds.

Oddly close the the man who died. Where is mike anyway...

You do know how it came about that Mike racked up 200,000 posts, right?

BTW do you guys know if this is a true storyWell I checked online and nothing comes up in the West Nyack News (http://www.topix.net/city/nyack-ny). (even for the last month under that name, although there are alot of folks with the Wanamaker name.

TS out

Lmfaooooooo

Jay- Sure do, but the math is fun :)

Raz_Kaz- 4,723 (9.79 posts per day)
KustmAce- 5,091 (11.20 posts per day)

Then again, I have an excuse...

You do know how it came about that Mike racked up 200,000 posts, right?

Apparently the guy drives an 03' Walmart Shopping Cart and lives in Antarctica. 200,000 posts is nothing for an individaul of this calibre.

And that would seem to make him uniquely unqualified to comment on cars. Snowcats, yes, cars, not really.

LOL, I love how everyone compares their post count to mine to see if they are classified as a postwhore.

^I don't *shrugs* :p

LOL, I love how everyone compares their post count to mine to see if they are classified as a postwhore.

Dunno if that qualifies as lolable, definitely not LOLable.

^ LOL




So what's your excuse, Tim?

I think that kicker guy was the biggest post whore
