The original "This Thread is Currently About" is back! Yes, it's Count to 100!
HOW TO PLAY
1. Count by ones from 1 to 100 in 100 consecutive posts according to the Core Rules.
2. Restart the count from 1 after:
a. a Moderator (or an Administrator) makes a stopping post (post without counting) if users and Knights are counting..
b. a user or Knight or Warden makes a stopping post (post without counting) if Moderators and Administrators are counting.
c. breaking a core rule, spamming, or cheating.
d. reaching 100.
3. Announce why you restart the count so other counters don't get confused.
NOTE: For the time being, Moderators are allowed to help Users count, so as long as the other rules are observed you do not need to restart the count if you see a mod count. However, if a Moderator makes a stopping post, i.e. a post without counting (not the same as a non-count post since they're technically different teams), it is considered an interruption and the count will restart.
CORE RULES
No mistakes. A count must start from 1 and increase by ones up to 100, save for exceptions noted.
No double-counting. No counter may count two consecutive numbers.
No back-to-back counting. No two counters may alternate for more than three consecutive numbers.
Okay: P1 P2 P1 P3
Not Okay: P1 P2 P1 P2
Okay: P1 P2 reset P1 P2
No editing. No counter may edit their post. If an edit tag shows on a count, the attempt is forfeit.
ADDiTiONAL RULES
No "spamming". Please don't post only the number and please don't post gibberish, either.
Multiple one- or two-word counts may also disqualify a count.
No "cheating". This shouldn't need to be said. Counting to 100 doesn't count if you cheat.
This is an exercise in teamwork, not rule bending.
No "spoiling". Don't mess with the count. Posts should start with the correct number.
Posts with no numbers should be ignored. See also: No non-counts.
Posts with intentional mistakes should be ignored.
No "spilping". If this is your first post in this thread, please post "I'm new and here to count to 100!"
No non-counts. No counter may post without a counting number or make a post without bolding that number if that counting number is not at the start of the post.
COMPLETE SET OF RULES
Please refer to the complete set of rules for additional information and examples of what is valid or invalid.

Please also check out the discussion thread for new gameplay or rule proposals or general discussion on the gameplay and rules of "Count to 100".
END GAME
Once you reach 100, you start this Sisyphean task all over again back at 1. Users should notify the Commissioner of the Count (HahiHa) that the count reached 100 and the Commissioner will review it to make sure there were no mistakes or cheating. If there were no mistakes or cheating, then the users who took part in the successful count to 100 will get a shiny new Quest!

73. Garlic is love, garlic is life. When I became a teen my sister allergic to garlic and beef and so I never really had either. The moment I moved out I discovered that those are the two greatest tastes known to man
74. I quote ‘Dance of the Vampires’:
Garlic garlic, the secret of staying young!
Garlic garlic, that's why were so well hung!
What's strong is getting stronger
What's long is getting longer
With garlic on your tongue
With garlic on your tongue
Garlic, garlic, it's the nourishment we crave
Garlic garlic, when times are tough and grave
Garlic garlic, it's a remedy we pray
80. I wouldn't. Garlic is the cure for all cureable illness. Garlic and honey on toast. If that doesn't work, try Rakija. And if *that* doesn't work, then I'm sorry; It's terminal.
82. Garlic is the sacrificial lamb to make your meal taste better. Thank you, Garlic.
83. Isn't every ingredient the sacrificial lamb to make your meal taste better?
85. Scientists found out that more than 40g garlic daily could damage your liver. That's about 17 cloves per day. About 15g (or 5 cloves) should be save. And 15 is also the amount of counts we still need!
86. The word garlic is derived from an old English word meaning gar "spear". China produces more than 72% of the world's garlic crop. If you've got a new topic @Widestsinger more power to you.
87. Seems like someone changed the name to Garlic Appreciation Club so I'll give my (definably wrote this myself) two cents.
Garlic, the humble bulb that packs a punch, has been cherished for millennia not just for its culinary prowess but also for its myriad health benefits and cultural significance. From ancient Egypt to modern kitchens worldwide, garlic has earned its place as a culinary staple and a medicinal powerhouse.
First and foremost, let's talk flavor. Garlic's distinctive taste and aroma can transform the simplest of dishes into culinary delights. Whether roasted, sautéed, minced, or sliced, garlic adds depth and complexity to a wide array of cuisines. It's the secret ingredient that elevates pasta sauces, marinades, stir-fries, and soups to new heights, earning it a permanent spot in the pantries of chefs and home cooks alike.
But garlic's appeal extends far beyond its flavor. Packed with nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin B6, and manganese, garlic offers a nutritional boost with very few calories. Its sulfur compounds, including allicin, have been linked to various health benefits, such as boosting the immune system, reducing inflammation, and even lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Garlic's medicinal properties have been recognized for centuries, with ancient civilizations using it to treat a myriad of ailments. From fighting infections to promoting heart health, garlic's therapeutic potential is backed by modern scientific research. It's no wonder that garlic supplements have become popular for those seeking to harness its health benefits in a convenient form.
Beyond its culinary and medicinal virtues, garlic holds cultural significance in many societies. It's a symbol of protection against evil spirits in some cultures, while in others, it's revered for its purported aphrodisiac properties. Garlic festivals and celebrations around the world pay homage to this versatile bulb, showcasing its culinary diversity and cultural importance.
In conclusion, garlic's allure lies not only in its culinary versatility but also in its impressive array of health benefits and cultural significance. Whether it's warding off vampires or simply adding a burst of flavor to your favorite dish, garlic truly deserves its status as one of nature's most amazing creations.
