GET
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
GET is the act of reaching a certain reply number on one of the many imageboards lurking in the darkness of the interbutt that keep track of post numbers. Popularized on 4chan's /b/, which receives an absolutely ridiculous amount of replies from anonymous users every day.
Since then, posters on other boards have begun to celebrate their GETs with equal vigor, happily begging for stickies when they reach some trivial number, like five. Which is about all 420chan can hope for.
GET can also refer to the act of predicting one's post number at any time, not just at a milestone. This can be as simple as the oft-attempted "IF DIS POAST ENDZ IN 4 THAN UR GAY LOL," to the slightly more challenging "HEY GUIZ IF I 55 GET I'LL POST NOODS I SWARES IT" to the statistically absurd act of predicting one's entire post number.
How To GET
When the reply count begins to approach a significant number, generally a whole thousand- or in the case of /b/, any whole ten thousand - or some silly number like 11,223,344, all posts must read "__________GET", where the blank is the number in question.
- Be a mod.
- Break the board in question.
- Post something really fucking retarded.
- Sage
- Bump
- ???
- GET!
When the post count finally reaches the number in question, it is traditional that everyone on the board reply to the thread commenting on the GET in one of the following ways:
- failget
- FAILGET
- FUCKING FAIL
- WTF IS THIS SHIT?
- modget
- MODS = FAGS
- USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST
- MySQL Connection Failure
- DESU DESU DESU
- sage goes in every field
Also, it's really fun to tell the mods to sticky these content-free threads.
GET and AIDS
Mods = fags therefore Modget = fagget
In some cultures, acquisition of a GET is thought to cure AIDS in the same the way that virgin-sex does. In these cultures, those infected with AIDS who are too small, weak, or underdeveloped to rape pre-adolescents compete heatedly to extend their phailishly phail lives through the acquisition of a GET. Many examples of those spending their last years in pursuit of this elusive elixir can be found on the internet. Moast, obsessed with their own mortality, pursue GETs to the exclusion of lasting social connections or reproduction. The scientific community, unable to disprove this theory, remains undecided.
Of course, the fact that anyone obsessed with getting a specific post number on a message board is constitutionally incapable of ever having gotten laid causes one to question why exactly they would need an AIDS cure in the first place. Go figure.
MODFAG GET DRAMA
The epic 56M GET drama of February 27, 2008 was caused when Epic Fail Guy failed, in predictable fashion, to get the 57M get. The MODFAGS of 4chan quickly deleted the awesome post.
MODFAG 62 Million GET FURFAGGERY
When 4chan's /b/ began to reach the 62 million post mark, it was discovered that a mod (undoubtedly) posted the 62,000,000 GET with furfaggery. WTF mods? Fuck off.
The picture turned "Thumbnail 404" and was replaced with "Warranty Void if Seal Broken," presumably a not FAGGOT mod.
66,666,666 GET
After the fail of the 60mil get, Anon from /b/ redeem themselves by getting a nigger get! The niggerist get IN THE JOSEPH FRITZ APPROVAL THREAD. Quickly resulting into a threadnought of fail, there is little hope that the cancer in /b/ is subsiding.
70,000,000 GET
In a unique twist, the 70,000,000th post in /b/ ended up being 404'd before most people got a chance to see it. Quick accusations quickly arose blaming the mods for the failed GET. It was quickly proved that 70M GET was rightfully "Niggers".
75,000,000 GET
It was a modget, and there was no attempt at hiding it. In a response to some gay thread, without a picture, was simply the word "modget." Epic fail.
77,777,777 GET
77,777,777 GET being won by 420chan introduced outrages in all red-hearted /b/tards and so a massive invasion of 420 chan of lulzy proportions was launched. However, the stoners at 420chan knew what the proper thing to do was and faggotry ensued.
80,000,000 GET
The 80M GET was the worst GET ever made.
83,000,000 GET
The only guy who actually wins was EFG.
87,000,000 GET
Some fag ruined it.
87,654,321 GET
Godly Luck indeed.
88,888,888 GET
Suddenly, millions of newfags were posting all over the board the ;[ like DESU spam. And again, the same symbol was featured as the 103M GET.
90,000,000 GET
With this get, Milhouse will never be a meme. But Milhouse will never be a meme is now a meme.
909,090,90 GET
Fail GET!!!
95,000,000 GET
Election Day Get
100,000,000 GET
On Nov 30, 2008, /b/ got its 100M GET. Sadly (or hilariously) it was a furry get, and to add insult to injury, 99,999,999 was a Britfag GET. At first it was hard to know since just about every new thread 404'd before anyone could grab a screencap, and screencaps can be shopped quite easily. But soon, multiple screencaps surfaced of the exact same thing in different themes and browsers, verifying the GET in the name of furfaggotry.
Many in the peanut gallery put on tinfoil hats and yelled "CONSPIRACY!!!" speculating that it was an inside job -a 4chan mod GET despite /b/ leading with a disclaimer of sorts.
Wherever the truth may lie, /b/tards finally accepted the outcome and the cold, hard truth behind it -that /b/ is overrun with furfags- and vowed never to talk of 11/30 again. However, this didn't stop newfags from posting "what was the 100m GET?" every other post for several days after. Sage goes where?
115,000,000 GET
On Thursday, February fifth, 2009, the 115mil GET was taken by a furfag. Although it is still amazing that an actual human achieved the GET, as /b/ was under siege by red boxes/Chinese Communists. Fucking furrys.
