The original "This Thread is Currently About" is back! Yes, it's Count to 100!

HOW TO PLAY

1. Count by ones from 1 to 100 in 100 consecutive posts according to the Core Rules.
2. Restart the count from 1 after:
a. a Moderator (or an Administrator) makes a stopping post (post without counting) if users and Knights are counting..
b. a user or Knight or Warden makes a stopping post (post without counting) if Moderators and Administrators are counting.
c. breaking a core rule, spamming, or cheating.
d. reaching 100.
3. Announce why you restart the count so other counters don't get confused.
NOTE: For the time being, Moderators are allowed to help Users count, so as long as the other rules are observed you do not need to restart the count if you see a mod count. However, if a Moderator makes a stopping post, i.e. a post without counting (not the same as a non-count post since they're technically different teams), it is considered an interruption and the count will restart.

CORE RULES

No mistakes. A count must start from 1 and increase by ones up to 100, save for exceptions noted.
No double-counting. No counter may count two consecutive numbers.
No back-to-back counting. No two counters may alternate for more than three consecutive numbers.
Okay: P1 P2 P1 P3
Not Okay: P1 P2 P1 P2
Okay: P1 P2 reset P1 P2
No editing. No counter may edit their post. If an edit tag shows on a count, the attempt is forfeit.

ADDiTiONAL RULES

No "spamming". Please don't post only the number and please don't post gibberish, either.
Multiple one- or two-word counts may also disqualify a count.
No "cheating". This shouldn't need to be said. Counting to 100 doesn't count if you cheat.
This is an exercise in teamwork, not rule bending.
No "spoiling". Don't mess with the count. Posts should start with the correct number.
Posts with no numbers should be ignored. See also: No non-counts.
Posts with intentional mistakes should be ignored.
No "spilping". If this is your first post in this thread, please post "I'm new and here to count to 100!"
No non-counts. No counter may post without a counting number or make a post without bolding that number if that counting number is not at the start of the post.

COMPLETE SET OF RULES
Please refer to the complete set of rules for additional information and examples of what is valid or invalid.
DiSCUSSiON THREAD
Please also check out the discussion thread for new gameplay or rule proposals or general discussion on the gameplay and rules of "Count to 100".

END GAME

Once you reach 100, you start this Sisyphean task all over again back at 1. Users should notify the Commissioner of the Count (HahiHa) that the count reached 100 and the Commissioner will review it to make sure there were no mistakes or cheating. If there were no mistakes or cheating, then the users who took part in the successful count to 100 will get a shiny new Quest!

23. And it's getting more and more empty pages. We are currently at page 5205, and the last page is at 5248.

24. I thought it added more pages the farther we got?

25.

It's a pretty old issue, too. At risk of aging myself considerably I'd say it's at least a decade old issue. That and Disqus never showing the most recent costume

It’s almost a flex to say that you were around for when this wasn’t an issue haha!

26. To be honest, I started counting 2020. Before, I only played games and did not notice or care about counting or forum issues.

27. AG was my first introduction to web forums and I'll be honest it took me an embarrassingly long time to find it. I knew they existed based on the Forum post counter on my profile but I really didn't know what it meant

28. A long long time ago in the elder days of Armor Games the forum page count used to function properly. Meanwhile the last than half a dozen or so firstborn elves of Armor Games that are still left sit around a campfire reminiscing about the old days. I could use some hot chocolate.

29. Well, maybe I was not a citizen of Armoria in these old days, but at least a regular guest. When it was still called Games of Gondor, I spent more times on Newgrounds, but I still know the very old site and the classics, like the games with chompy. Does it make me... some other kind of elve, a drow or something? Whatever, as long as we have campfire and some grilled salmon I am happy.

30. Perhaps an elf born after the elder days were completed. (B2B Warning)

31. Seems to me you're an elder elf form another land. I had no idea that sites like this existed at all (minus Club Penguin of course) until at least 2011 when they were just starting to be on the decline.

32. I visited Flash Sites for the first time when Joe Cartoon was something new (microwave gerbil, and Frog in a blender... real classics!). Maybe it was in the year 2000. But I had to load for ages, I had an 56k-modem (that was fast for these times! Some People used 8000 Baud, an old unit for bit per second).
Everything changed when I went to university and science gave me a super-fast internet connection (for scientific stuff, of cause...), and I was able to play games on newgrounds. That was before Games of Gondor existed. Later I came to Armor Games for Games like Battle for Gondor. Fun fact: They were removed from Games of Gondor to copyright issues when they changed their name to Armor Games, but they are still available on the AG-Account on Newgrounds.

Now I'm feeling really old.

34. I get whatever the Verizon box internet gets me; it seems reasonably fast enough. I used to have to use a cable though. I tried explaining this to the professor I worked on my master's thesis practicum with; it sunk in very slowly. (Wait your Steam games don't download instantaneously???)

35. Lol I remember those days. Up until not that long ago (okay maybe like 8-10 years ago but that's still 2015-2017) my internet was about 3mb/s which came out to about 1GB/hour which wasn't really fun when game sizes started getting to 30GBs..

36. LOL! There was also a time when my games fit on a 500MB Hard drive... And suddenly CD-ROM had more memory than most hard drives.

37. It still amazes me how much they were able to do with so little space. Skyrim was on a whopping 6GB while the latest copy-pasted COD games take up 150GB and have less content
