OP here. I didn't use scripts at all, was just monitoring the front page for a minute, refreshing every second to get an idea of the level of activity and then posted when it got to 7775.
I guess I was lucky, I've been blessed with a gift which allows me to get this sort of thing. Some people spend their whole lives in pursuit of quads and never pull it off.
Such is life.
ps. i'm disappointed by the lack of dubs in this thread, step it up guys
