Shouldn't this go in one of those "You know you're addicted to..." threads? It's Thanksgiving and you are an American and you are celebrating your 2,000th post? That's brilliant! :D

I'm doing a Brinn and dedicating this post for reaching 5,000 posts. And I will go to sleep right after writing this so I won't be tempted to break my nice even number right after reaching it. ;)

5,000 posts is quite a lot. Not that much for my almost four years here, of course - seemingly 3.46 posts per day. But that is actually quite a lot since I wasn't too active as a newbie, and there have always been holiday periods when I haven't posted anything for even weeks.

This makes me feel rather mummified, though. I mean, one could start questioning her degree of no-lifeishness after reaching such a number. :D

But I'm still happy to have reached such an impressive post count and I hope that some day, I will have doubled that number and reached 10,000. :eek:

2.57 posts per day. . .

It is not very much if you consider how active I was as a newbie, I had an extreme post count in my first 6 months. Anyways I have had many periods where I have not posted for months and I guess it shows, i am 2000 posts behind Lommy!

Indeed. My 2,000 posts must be one of the many things I am thankful for. :D

So, the 6,666 post has been written - and it was a moderating post. :( It had to be done - sorry, folks. I promise I will make an effort to post something interesting soon. :Merisu:

pfft, Esty, a likely excuse! You could have left it for Ulmo to do and saved the milestone post for the next installment of, oh, I don't know, maybe something mildly interesting like REB III or a report about the book on music in Tolkien, the deadline for submission of which must be right around now. ;)

I have 900 posts here! This is my 901st! It took me 7 and a half years! :D

I have almost 20,000 at another forum. It was traditional to post a new thread rife with smilies, positively overrun with them, often arranged in a decorative pattern. But milestones are like birthdays: after a while it (you) gets old and you wonder if having made so many posts is a GOOD thing, or whether it's a sign of the absence of (what do they call it?) life...

Nooo! I forgot my 1234th post!

Someone call emergency services, because I have 999 posts! :eek: Forgive the lame joke; I'm just excited.

4000 posts. A nice landmark to reach, and there could be only one thread on which to make said post: The Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation Thread. :smokin:

1500. Not too good, but I noticed.

This is more than 500 posts ahead of me, and you have been a member less time than I. This makes me sad, that I have more of a life than others...:(

Are you saying that many Downers don't have lives?

All Downers have lives, it's just that some coincide more with the Downs than others... ;)

Oh no, post 2K is fast approaching! :eek: The 'downs will crash! The world's economy will collapse....! Oh yeah - too late.

No, actually I was complaining that I can only get on the Downs during my study hall at school, until they catch me.

Well, I think I'll savor my 999th post before I am fully integrated into the 'Downer matrix. Perhaps I'll go argue with davem.;)

Hmmm...I don't feel any different at 1000.

Perhaps it's like ingesting mescaline or mushrooms, and it takes a half hour or thereabouts to feel the effects...or so I've heard.

I just passed my 2000th. I don't really feel any different.

I do save my Nth posts for cool stuff, then I forget about it and suddenly I've missed it...:eek:

then again EVERY Post I do is important especially such brilliant post of the past including this chest nut:

http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpos...postcount=7482

Epic fail.

Mine also disappeared into the endless realm of that game.

I watch my count with a hawk's eye!

Well my counts not nearly as good as any of your's but I am quite proud of myself for finally reaching 50 posts. Especially since I spent my first few months too terrified of making a fool of myself to actually post anything.:rolleyes::o

Now to see if I can make 50 more before school starts again, and I am crushed under the weight of Pre-Cal, Bio II/Chem II, College Credit U.S. history, and AP English. Can somebody explain why I thought this would be a good schedule?:(

My 1000th snuck in on me in my first WW game.

Geez, now I feel so small and insignificant, with my tiny post count... Of course, the 100th is fast approaching, and this is the longest I've ever stayed on any forum. *cries tears of pride*

I remember that I made my first 100 posts in a matter of a week and a half, but a tiny post count doesn't always mean you're no good. There are many BDers that make wonderful posts and have really high reputation and they have less than 600 posts.

Well said sir, A good portion of my posts are guesses in quiz threads as well as plantir of fortune... so take it as you will. Of course we all have great posts but sometimes a higher count simply means a addiction, as I recall I once spent 27 hours straight on the forum 74 posts that period alone....ahhh summer vacation of high school how I miss thee

Oh no! I missed my 2222nd post. I had been waiting for that... :rolleyes:

My birth year quickly approaches!:smokin:

I'm posting just to see what post I'm up to, since I haven't been in awhile....

EDIT: wow! I'm surprised I'm passed 1,000. O'course now I have to go back and see what lame thing I wrote in my 1000th post :)

EDIT again: Just as I suspected, nothing special....a reply to who should play Beorn in The Hobbit.

Oh, I missed my 1500th post!:(

Great to see you around, Holby. :)

As for me, I guess my next interesting one is 6543 or 6666. :D

I present to you all, this, my 2,000 post! *Fan Fare Music* What a glorious time I've had posting these 2,000 Posts and hope to get much much more:)

Just so I don't miss it, here's #500! Didn't think it would come so soon... well, thanks to the Quiz Room and Werewolf.

Almost to 1600!:D I love the Downs!

I look forward to reaching the next biggie with my post count, and I actually caught them in time in my first thousand or so, but now my trend is to remember until about 20 posts before, forget about it when the time comes, and remember again some 20 posts after. nd I am too lazy to go back and count the posts just to make a note in the end saying it's my n-th.

I recently missed my 4444, a post which I meant to post on this thread. I hope I remember to catch my 5000, but even more importantly, my 5555.


ETA: just realized I have a gross of reps! :D Good thing I didn't miss this one at least! :p

I've read your sentence a few times. Sense not still make grammatically of speaking.

There is a vague sense that there might be some profundity in there if you ran it through Googletranslate a few times... but the screen name suggests Spam.

Even spammers have angst. Sometimes so much they forget to advertise their product. ;)

Infoleather? That seems to be a perfectly legitimate Tolkienesque moniker. If Tolkien worked on the Internet. For a hotel chain. In an Asiatic country. And spoke English as a second language. :D
