Guess what? I'll give you a hint. It's to the left of your screen and has 4 digits. That's right. It's my post count.

When I arrived here, I made 400 posts in the first four months of my membership. So? I'm only 8 months off! Big furry deal!

It's been a great time here so far, and I have no intent on leaving any time soon. At least not until I pass Ty. Posted Image

Really? I see 999 posts... Anyway, HOW DO YOU DO THAT? I swear that it will take me about 3 years or so to get that high, even if I'm around that long. Nice work Posted Image

Oh, sure, NOW it says 1000. This web board server likes jokes on poor, tiny people like me.

Nice to see you finally entered 4-digit land. As a matter of fact, I passed 3000 a few days ago.

P.S. 3000 = 1000 * 3 Posted Image

I said to myself, well at least I'll get my thousandth before Ty gets his three thousandth. Posted Image

And, in the tradition of post count topics, I have completely fogotten to not post in it again.

Our records show that you've posted 6 posts in the last 4 months. You've got 184 to go to 500. At your current rate it'll take you some 31 months to reach 500! Posted Image

By that same logic I'll pass you in 10 years, 6 months, with you at 7600 posts and me at 8000. Hah! It won't be long now!

(Based on Me: 1000 posts in 18 months, Ty: 600 posts in 18 months)

Three (/four) questions,
* Are these for all of the Ambrosia webboards, or just Cythera?
* Who are half the people at the bottom of the list, ie. the ones who haven't posted recently? I mean, if your going to put some of the people who have visited the boards, why not put them all?
* Have you really been looking at every topic and keeping track since the beginning of the year? Posted Image

BTW, that's smooth how you guys write multiple posts dirrectly after each other on slightly different topics...then again, maybe not. Posted Image

I can say with absolue surety that you can't show me any place I've done that. For two reasons: #1 I don't spam Posted Image

#2 If you somehow did, I would just "edit" my post that it would work with the topic, like all of you /could/ do, instead of posting again Posted Image

hmmm. So many big posters, hey big poster! *groans*. It'll take me years to reach 4 digits, not like i really care though.
I reckon its just topics like these which bump the posts up, not anything important Posted Image

I did some for a few other boards, but I got lax and lazy, and nobody really cares. I seem to have an obsession with numbers though...

When I started in March they were common around here. Just because they've been lax and some left in Febuary... I will cut the people that haven't posted at all by July though.

No, I cheat and use the "members" function, search for names, and compare the differences in the number every time I update it.

There's even a part of the members function that lists the top 25 in posts. Of which or own Avatara is slipping...

I have been lax in posting, mainly because I've been cutting back. That and most of the time I don't do seperate replies for every little question like some people....most notably those on the EV B&B.

I update it only once a week, usually on the weekends, most of the time. I can only guarantee it'll be updated every half-month, though sometimes iTools won't let me upload the updated version so there is a delay.

Probably because he posts just about everywhere and does multiple consecutive replies in topics.
