Life is a bitch, her name is {{eMaGyN}}
weve all heard that before. its a great quote. But it appears so often!
Hamma has said it is random. maybe it is but he just put that quote in there 10 or 15 times.
There are 100s of quotes out there but this one keeps popping up. Its not really bugging me but i need Hamma to confess.
So i have down a test. I refreshed the page 50 times and counted the ema quote (just that one)
Here are the results:
50 TRIES
6 WERE THAT EMA QUOTE
6/50!!!!!!
i will do it again
3/50
that may not seem like a lot but when you see all the different quotes (theres a ton) it is.
so say on average it happens 8/100 times.

It is completly random,I showed the code a few weeks back.
Yes, we knwo. But theres a "list" where the quote is chosen at random. You simpl add the eMa quote more than the otehrs and it has a higher probability of showing up.
Probability m'boy.

Probability m'boy. Yes, I know. However that isnt how it is.
That quote is in there one time, and one time only. I have looked personally.

It's a conspiracy :scared:
I got it. If hamma won't confess, the only possible solution is that:
eMa's a hacker.

It should be noted that that quote is ID #1 in the db, first quote ever submitted.

First of all, while Onizuka is great, I found this first.
Second of all, Hamma is a dirty liar (drunken sometimes) and therefore we cannot trust him. At all. Squeeky we can trust, but he's gimped (mini-moderator). Marsman is never on, jupe is currently hiding from stalkers, and nobody else can do anything. Of course, eMa's probably hacking it.

hey i dont admit to finding any of this out.....i just wanted to test it. and if there are 1300 quotes in the database now... that is WAY to often to be random. It just confuses me i need an explanation....
