Turn the Page

From Wiki Gonzalez

As a page in a Primer Lounge reaches the high 90's, some posters feel that if they post just before a new page is created, their words will be ignored as readers swarm to the next page. As a result, one often finds filler messages posted in these slots containing nothing but wishes that the new page would appear soon.

In the December 3, 2004 Lounge, Gary Geiger Counter wrote post 599 under the name "Bob Seger" and said simply "Turn the page." He then wrote post 600 under the name "Metallica" with the same text. Finally, in post 601 he stated, although he made a mistake with his numbers, that the second post had been a "cover post" of the first, referring to Metallica's cover of Bob Seger's hit "Turn the Page".

In post 612 HCO penned these lyrics:

Well you walk into a steroids thread

Lookin' for some news

And you can feel a battle starting

As the endless flamewar stews

And you try to reason with them

But they won't accept your views

Most times Retardo joins the fight

Other times he don't

All the same old cliches

"They're cheaters and we've always known"

And you always feel it's pointless

To try to change the tone

Said here I am

On the Lounge again

Posting fluff

Avoiding rage

Getting close

To the bottom again

Post 99

Turn the page
