in reply to Let's make BBQ a Saint!

Great idea! I just spent most of my votes today on BBQ. I checked his node and his XP is now at 3015. :)

    Nice!

    I'm reminded of davido's recent astonishment and bewilderment on being greeted at PM login with a congratulatory message for gaining +92 XP.

    Imagine the look of surprise on BBQ's face when, in the far future, he finally gets around to logging back in to Perl Monks ... and is congratulated for gaining +10,000 XP. :)

    Here's hoping BBQ's return to Perl Monks is not delayed as long as the Great Prophet Zarquon. :)

      Or an error messages. Not sure we ever tested for a case like this. The huge amount of XP is most likely OK (it's a small number for a computer). If his Login, Password, Profile and Settings work after a decade+ of PM changes is probably another matter entirely.

      And i hope and pray to $DEITY that we don't have a bug in Newest Nodes the prevents it from limiting the amount of posts displayed. Otherwise the PM server will just STOP for everyone else while it's busy trying to load 14 years of SoPW into a single HTML page.

      PerlMonks XP is useless? Not anymore: XPD - Do more with your PerlMonks XP

        I assure you, none of those will be a problem. Certainly we've had plenty of monks take similar extended leaves of absence before.

        I would hope that all Monks would accept the inconvenience as the return of a legend causes it...
