Same time post

A same time post, or STP, is when two or more messages are posted in the same second in a topic. Despite this being a common occurrence, it is considered a small achievement and people who post STPs will often say "STP ^5" to the other user. It is also possible to stage an STP by strategically timing the pressing of the "Post" button. The latest release of GameFOX makes this even easier by way of an optional clock embedded in each page.

The term itself is somewhat of an oxymoron because GameFAQs only records the second at which a message is posted, so STPs could actually be a few milliseconds apart. The ordering in which STPs are displayed is determined by whoever clicked "post" first.

Obviously, it is impossible for the 2nd poster to have an STP with the original post. However, the 2nd poster can manipulate his post so it seems like he did.
