Euty, if you want a post party, host it yourself, like most of the rest of us have done. If you want a big turnout for it, though, be sure to use either ā€œpenisā€ or ā€œbeerā€ in the thread title. If you want every single registered Doper to attend, use them both. šŸ˜ƒ ---

I really wanted to throw you a big party but I was afraid to, I heard through the grapevine that post partys were frowned on by the big shots and anyone caught wasting band-width on that kind of stupid shit would be castrated and fed to the dragons. But since Iā€™m already here ā€¦ \ ā€¦CONGRATS. Keep up the good work man. Hereā€™s to your next thousand! ---
