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.
As trivial as the outcomes of single/double digits GETS are, they are taken very seriously by anon. Users that GET are considered authoritative on the subjects of their posts, for instance, "If this posts ends in an even number, then God is real/fake." This almost definitely ends in a flame war, as the winning side always champions the legitimacy of using GET to determine validity, the losers try to appeal to logic. These same people exchange roles continuously.
How To GET
When the reply count begins to approach a significant number, generally a whole thousand, million, or some silly number like 11,223,344, people start spamming threads with "__________GET", where the blank is the number in question. Some start spamming thousands of posts in advance of the GET, either in an attempt to be funny or an attempt to stir up competition. Nearing the post in question, the post rate increases inversely with the absolute distance to the GET. Refresh your browser rapidly while watching the post numbers of the latest posts, use this to gauge the post rate. Post a couple times to determine how early you would have to post to get the desired number. /b/ is absurdly fast, but it's not that fast, don't be an idiot, you get only one chance (unless you've got a botnet and/or proxy).
A Step-by-Step Guide to being a GET spamming Faggot
Moderators
- Be a mod.
- GET!
Newfags
- Only start redundant new threads. Do not reply to existing threads.
- Post something really fucking retarded.
- Make sure that within 300 posts of the GET, all new posts 404 by the time you refresh the page again.
- Break the board in question.
- Did you GET? (No -> Go back to Step 1)
- ???
- GET!
Aftermath
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 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.
Timeline of GET (< 100M)
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.
81,000,000 GET
81M GET went to the newfags, who love to save obfuscated code as JavaScript files. Go on, that spam seems legit! Even 3/4 of a year later, doing things that spammers tell you to do is still a favorite /b/tard pastime, evidenced by the fact that 4chan.jse is ALWAYS successful.
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.
90,090,909 GET
Fail GET!!!
95,000,000 GET
Election Day Get
9,777,777 GET
 Lucky over 9000s |
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
116,000,000 GET
Monday, Feburary 9, 2009, which was a baby GET, which is fucktarded seeing as they weren't even aiming for the GET. However it goes to show that babies overpower Boxxy and furfags.

It happened 10:39, March 13, 2009. That's right, Friday the 13th. Coincidence? I think not. What was posted was simply the phrase "get?" Every /b/tard shit their pants and subsequently RAGED. 123,456,789 GET thread (archive) http://rapidshare.com/files/208974478/123456789_GET.rar

The original poster stated that God doesn't exist if anyone gets the 148M-GET ITT. Therefore, God was killed with a blam.
 BLAM GET |
Shortly after, newfags tried to make it a forced meme and spammed all over /b/. The /b/lam-cancer was cured after about two hours.

Belonging to some newfag who clearly jizzed himself, screaming like a little girl in ecstacy, after recieving their ever so desired life consuming get. It's really the posts immediately before and after the get that are worthwhile.
