@dafyre You are making a run for #6, in fact!
Can I make 2000 spam posts real quick?
CAN you? Maybe.
Oh great @dafyre ... now you've got @scottalanmiller curious if he can do it... this is going to be the Ghost Pepper that was entirely from spice-ups all over again...
That's a really good idea... I didn't even think about that.
LOL, I warned them that you could do it and that you could have a Ghost user who had never posted a single time. People told me I was stupid and that the spice points represent community involvement.
So on a Sunday afternoon hanging out with @bsouder in three hours I wrote a program that totally automated Spiceworks and went through their RESTful API and went thread by thread up voting everything. The very first post made by that user was "Hey, guess who I am." as a Ghost. Not one single post, review or anything prior to being Ghost. Three hours of effort only.
And that's why you max out at 11 points from spicing things per day.
Way to ruin it for everyone.

Oh I know that I can do it. I've already got scripts for doing cool reads here.
Why am I not surprised that @scottalanmiller has a script that reads every post around here? Next thing we know he'll be putting the coffee maker on the network and having it brew a cup of coffee for him in the exact amount of time it takes to walk to the thing.
I would actually buy that script....

If you want to give me a couple of bucks for pointing it out to you I won't say no
And here are the scripts lol...

Sigh please don't make my job harder people!

My oil change was taking forever just asked why.... My car had 50 updates and it's taking forever.
Wonder if they have to keep shutting it down and restarting it in between each one.

If someone suddenly overtakes @scottalanmiller in number of posts we'll all know what's going on.

Also... Why are they doing updates on your car when you came in for an oil change? lol.

Because I am a local business owner I get oil changes, basic tune ups etc. for free every 7,500 miles

I actually use that script constantly, it's really handy. I track thread activity with it. It feeds a spreadsheet so that we can graph individual thread activity over time.

Happy afternoon MangoLassi! It's one of the busiest days ever around here. No records or anything, but both views and posts are running very, very high.

Coffee machine is too far away.solution
The Savi series is just incredible. I like the CS530 style best personally.

Sometimes. My nights to sleep are Friday night, Sat night and Sunday night. Monday thru Thursday night I get usually 2-3 hours. Then I try to make up for it the other three nights...after I finish partying
