4000, eh? I can... yes, I can just about see it myself.

I don't know how it happened though, Lal: you're a newbie, really.

This thread should be closed because it's only going to encourage people to get their post-count up. Unless a moderator deletes this post, I will have essentially stolen one.

Yes, I also obsess.

This is my 3999th post!

The very next one is IT!

OK, now if you lot were all real meanies you'd post something guaranteed to make me HAVE to bang out a post instantly and hit 'send' before I even had time to think about it

God, Eomer, I remember joining here and you were this old-timer! And you are not so far off I note...

Who has the most posts? Is it still H-I or Mr Saucepan?

I'm off to bind my fingers down...

Ooo, only one left! Really, you can't fail Lalwende. When Alan Shearer scored his 200th premiership goal it would not have mattered at all if that goal were a poorly struck penalty that somehow found the net (it wasn't), his fans would have celebrated it with great gusto nonetheless. So just go ahead, get it over with!

Oh I also attach significance to numbers. I can drive many extra miles just to see that milometer reach a certain landmark or keep staring a digital watch for minutes until it reaches 22:22:22. Although I'm far from any particularly auspicious postcount on this board I will probably feel a tinge of sentimentality and importance when or if I reach lets say an even thousand.

Lalwendë · 10-25-2008, 02:27 PM

I have a thing about always looking at the clock when it says 22:22 as well! It spooks me out actually...

Anyway, I've done it!!! Next big step is 4444, because that is like a square number or something like that.

I do that too!
4444 is a special number. Last time I had a post-count off a similiar nature was at 333- I'm sure that was ages ago for you.

Not really- how about in 12 posts (321) or in 24 posts (333)?

I wish I could look back and see what I was posting back then, but correct me if I am wrong, mod persons, I think you can only look back to at max your last 1,000 posts in a 'numbered list'?

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 10-26-2008, 05:36 PM

I thought it was only 500... oh well. I've only got like 900 posts or something, when I get to 1,000 I should have a party, with Lauri, of course! Maybe a tea party.

But as to not just take up posts, when I got to a Ghost Prince or something, I was excited, because I could get a personal title... Well that happened quickly

... Anyway, I was excited when I got to be a Wight, I got an congratulation pm for becoming a Shade. I was like Yay, somebody notices me!

I remember Lauri came to school one day to announce that she was A Wight, because she had reached to lofty number of 101 posts!

I used post #3500 to start a Werewolf thread. And I just noticed that now.
