how do i stop being an "youth wracked by nightmarish visions" ?

**Ratius**

Lets see where this one goes.....

Post more, your rank is based on your number of posts.

It's based on the number of posts you have. Also, I hear that if you hold down the Alt button and press F4, it goes up faster...

Flagrant lie Kronk *shakes fist*

**Samus_aran115**

Oh yeah, that's how I got so high. Just pressed Alt+F4 a lot.

Or, you can do it right from Notepad:

type
@Echo off
del C:\WINDOWS/system32

Save the file as ANYHING.bat as "all files". Open it. Now you can choose whatever title you want.

This file gives you your current title, but if you delete it, you can create a new one.

Just kidding. don't do that. Just post a little more. It upgrades every now and then. Once you get to about 5000 though, it stops changing so often. no big deal. At that point, you should just become a DCM anyway.

We may never hear from him again. A buddy of mine called me up one day and asked why his computer wasnt working. He deleted system32 like the "guy on the internet" said to get rid of the virus.

Most fun I ever had playing Diablo 2.

Hey! Anyone know how to dupe (duplicate) an item?

Sure! You drop it on the ground in town near the vendor and hit Alt + F4.

*Has dropped from game*

*Yoink!*

**Jidmah**

For a youf to be come a proppa ork, he has to pick up 'is choppa and hit another youf in the 'ead with it. Pretty sure it works the same if that youf is plagued by nightmares.

Might become wierdboy though,

Rank is just a meaningless title for flavour, changes with post count.

Though could be worse, I've seen people say to brush a powerful magnet over the drive clockwise 12 and a half times (counter clockwise wrecks it).

Another actually fun one (it wrecks nothing and can be fixed easily) is to type "logoff" in notepad, save as a bat then throw into startup.

so this topic has gone from how do i rank up to how to mess with someones computer

**dementedwombat**

And this is why I never run a .bat file in ANYTHING not made by a reputable company without opening it in notepad first.

Although even reputable companies mess it up sometimes...one EVE Online patch screwed Windows users. There was an EVE file called "boot.ini" that needed to be patched. There is also a Windows system file called "boot.ini" that causes the computer to remember it's something other than a hunk of plastic whenever you turn it on. Can you see where this is going?

There were many mods in chat that day typing in all caps "for the love of God, if you run windows don't reboot your machine!"
