I was there, but my memory is fragile. So I made some research.
Everything started in a Black Friday day in 2018 from @VirMach.
After a lot of words shared on The great thread of 2018, a lot of people decided to spent their time posting the page number inside the posts. I don't know if this was because of the excitement (Virmach will make some giveaways and double giveaways at some point) or just poor UX.
Suddenly @donli posted a bus. He won't know at the time, but a milestone was set.

Of course, people would take that with curiosity:
More non-bus images will appear in the meantime, all of them related to page numbers.
@donli will do the same again on page 180. @ben47955 and @FAT32 will jump in to the trend, but it will not last for too long.

One day, @saibal missed his coffee pot, so he decided to continue the legacy.

As many of you will know, this happened before The great derailing of 2020, when a lot of people would find all the bus stops won't be where they should be. Nobody knew something like that could happen.
After that, everybody knew what to do when the page number changes.
In the latest days, trend includes trains too.
PS: I don't know if "derailing" is the correct word for such event.
PS2. This is not a peer-reviewed paper, some mistakes have been made.
PS3. English is not my native language, and I'm not sorry about that.
PS4. Double prizes would take years to arrive.
PS5. I want a PS5.
PS6. I'm still waiting for THAT server.
It's time for breakfast, have a nice day.
Detective BuffaloMach has linked accounts through their web of self-referrals and general greed. Of course all of this has its roots in:
But more surprisingly, one of them was here recently, the last time the BF flash sale ran in September or so... complaining about his account "incorrectly" getting flagged for manual review. He's definitely had a history of being a loud complainer and I don't just mean coming here for it. Anyway, he led me to a lot more so thank you if you're reading this right now.
The list is growing and pretty much anyone participating in the HostLoc MLM for 10% additional discount from referrals is being closely looked at right now.
It's just funny that the biggest people involved in this tend to be the most annoying. I guess it works out like that. The ones impatient about manual reviews, creating additional tickets and coming on threads complaining.
@imok
What was the Great Derailing of 2020? I believe that was the time that I was inactive in the thread so I wasn't a witness to the event.
I feel like we should just be giving you an honorary Ryen dedicated server at this point (how ironic, I put together a new mechanical keyboard and a key isn't working so I can never completely type Ryen now.)
Here you can copy paste:
z, or maybeRyzen.For the longest time (well not really, a few hours) I didn't notice because I just figured Windows was just randomly broken in a weird way again -- it happens a lot with the start menu/windows hotkey and ctrl commands in general.
Pretty cray how little the letter is really used. Even for some words, I can pretend to be British and then there's an alternative (realised, civilise, analyse, etc.)
The only thing that gets to me is that I can't undo as easily.
How about "rysen"???
Hi all, have a nice day
Rysen
Risen

That's a bait imok, don't fall for it, Ryen! His z works like a charm, last time used yesterday in https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3338872/#Comment_3338872
Someone decided to make pages shorter, hence the missmatch between page numbers and old bus routes.
I definitely agree to this.
And give one to @FAT32 as well.
When they changed the posts per page to 30... I think... 😯
I think it was changed twice and the derailing happen twice. However that was in a span of few days. We still have no idea who to blame - @jbiloh or @FAT32, so let's blame @VirMach
The fuck? My table is fine, still in dinning room.
Next thing you know, another derailing happens in the future. Or perhaps a re-railing, if it goes back to 50 (?) posts a page.
Raizen
Sabotaged on purpose.
Have all your bases covered. Also post assuming it'll go down to 20, 15, and 10 posts per page.
love it!
what's goin on?
Do you have sufficient security clearance for us to answer that to you? o.O
@imok got a dedicated Ryen box. Some other people got $8.88 servers for free. oh, first person to ask what's goin on get double bandwidth.
I think I covered everything.
And the buses. It is all about the buses. And then the sleuth. Oh, and sabotage!
But the most important, 100 empty Ryzen boxes. 😍
