    That low low post count is an accomplishment, IMO.

    Anywho, I wanted my huge 1K post to be in the GSF, or what remains of it. It's fun seeing some of you guys posting in the big bad Vesti.

    Congratulations!

    Do you really have just 1000 posts in 10 years, or was your post count deleted at some point?

    In any case, your presence seems always more than your posts. There are people with relatively few posts that seem prolific due to what they contribute.

    I don't think I even have 1000 posts yet. I have more unread alerts than posts (5000+).

    Congrats. This means we each get to punch you in the shoulder 1000 times right?

    Nope, I really did join IGN back in Jan 2002, even before Gamespy which was in May. I just never bothered posting here. It's also the reason I have this Zin handle instead of Cat Poop.

    Congrats on 1K, lol. By far the smallest post count of any mod. [face_tongue]

    If by "punch" you mean "lick" and by "shoulder" you mean "toes" then yes. Just be careful of the corns and bunions- they could cut your tongue.

    I have a feeling that I'm doing more work than m00. Which is odd. But when I think of m00 and the amount of WoW he plays, maybe not so odd. But smaller post count should correlate to smaller workload yes? No? Dammit.

    Just roll your mouse over there. Roll it there, and click it once. They're not M&Ms or pennies!

    What does that mean? I've seen it before, but Google reveals nothing.

    In BenTest we had a thread called "The Race to 10,000 Replies!" (created by ShangTang, or was it NachoFury?) which we worked on for months or years I can't remember which. Around 5,000 or so, MDF started a Race of their own and it became a competition for which forum could get their thread to 10,000 fastest.

    In a mad rush of posts that lasted a week or so, our 10,000th came from Hardflip ironically enough, and was just the jumble of letters 'poj'po. But we embraced it and it became the new "GG of ggs" and there were many ggs to be had for the 10,000th post. Then we made a rule that forever after, whenever someone types 'poj'po, we must quote it and say gg.

    BTF won the race if I do remember right.

    IIRC it was 5000, and it was a BTFzor regular that created the MDF race thread to encourage a competition, and it took us a bit before we realized what was going on (it was basically just four to six of us at the time). I had completely forgotten the origins of poj'po however.

    You guys beat us by over 1000 easily.

    Ah yes you're right. The inter-forum race was 5000. The Race to 10,000 Replies was completed at a different time, 'poj'po was from the 10,000 though I'm sure of that. I remember there was multiple pages of people just saying "gg" after it.

    I don't know what the 5000th post was unfortunately.

    Bah, spammers.[face_tongue] Back in PDF I used to do celebration topics which were sometimes thousand+ words long. Or item giveaways.

    At some point (I think 7k ) I stopped because there wasn't much of an audience. The last I did was for 10k which was pretty much along the "IGN sucks" lines; those were the days when we would get redirected from the forums, just before the summer.

    You could still do one in your own area, Gamespy users/extras will read it:)

    I believe it was Nyapollo who started the MDF and BTFzor threads to race to 5,000 posts, and Bob The Hillbilly who posted poj'po for the race to 10,000.

    I was with the Gamespy forums from 2001 until it closed and I had a ridiculously low post count at the end, certainly under 400 posts. I visited it regularly, but like all forums, a topic or reply really has to have a certain something in order for me to respond to it.

    The things I have seen cannot be unseen.

    I've actually been lurking/modding Vesti in the wee hours, a cause of concern and hilarity to @Lost_In_Translation and @BleuSphere and have been swinging the ban hammer a bit more often than I thought I'd be. I think it helps that I'm retired and have almost no life.

    The Gamespy side of the boards are so nice and polite in comparison, probably because you're all able to tame your inner attention-whore.

    The other mods are treating me well. I've not yet been subjected to porn/gore PM's, though that may change in time.
