    antoniseb approaches 10,000 posts

    9,970 as I write this - rarefied territory, indeed.

    Thanks to all. I don't know how many banned members preceded me to the ten thousand mark, but the number isn't large. As to being over half-way to ToSeek, it only takes a couple days of not posting and I'm less than half-way again. That guy shares more information than *anyone*.

    None-the-less, I would not have made one (let alone ten) thousand posts if this weren't such a pleasant place to converse. For this especially, thanks to all.

    Just Candy (with 12,690). And Grapes of Wrath/kilopi/milli360/etc. has a total of 13,170 among all his incarnations.

    It will probably be tonight. I bet it will be a hidden post reporting action taken against spam.

    Well at least we know (now) that you won't break the board (or end the universe), Antoniseb. We'd been taking bets when ToSeek made his run last year. (Next "big scary" milestone, 2^7 posts.)

    And I'm finally within 100 posts of kilopi.

    And as of now, Antoniseb has 10,000 posts exactly! Excessive jubilation will be allowed during the next five minutes.

    I remember when that was a big deal. Now it doesn't even get you on the first page if you list members by post count.

    Congratulation Antoniseb, for 10000postings. I was calculating the approximate time of how you have accomplish 10000postings in how much time, but I am unanswered yet.

    I was just calculating it on the calculator but could not fetch the conclusion, that how much time was totally consume for posting and the speed of typing words.

    I am looking forward some another 10000postings this year.

    see the postings calculator.

    Again congratulation.

    Have to say, antoniseb has certainly been motoring along.

    antoniseb

    28.57 posts a day since joining less than a year ago.

    ToSeek clocks in at 10.75 posts per day since joining way back in 2001.

    So, at current rates, by the end of next year these guys will be roughly neck and neck in their battle for BAUT supremacy!

    I had five to six thousand posts when I joined. I was part of the UT team, but my join date shows the merger date. I'm pretty sure that I won't be catching up with ToSeek ever. He is a very consistant contributer.

    Aha!

    I was really interested as to how you could have ~30posts a day... It mystified me...

    Anyway, Congradulations!!


    I need a kilopi and a bit to go! and my about 2 kilopies has already tacken 2 years!

    Pehaps a year? Seems like ages to me, and I post less now I think...

    That makes sense, because I joined about the time of the merge and I thought you were already a fairly prominent poster, but when I checked this afternoon I really couldn't go against what the stats told me!

    As for catching ToSeek, well, you may be right, but I have a feeling this board has a few years to run yet - so if you don't catch ToSeek, maybe someone else will?

    You can't judge by averages - the forum is a lot more active than it was in 2001. Ten posts a day back then would have been a sizeable chunk of all the posts. Now it's not even noticeable.

    In related news, Fraser closing in on 9000

    Yep, related news shows Fraser within a week of clinching a 9000 post milestone.

    Interestingly, the other administrator of the board is at almost exactly half the level of posts as Fraser.

    Currently

    Fraser 8961

    Fraser has the advantage of all those automatically generated posts from Universe Today stories.

    Hey, I'm closing in on 5000. That's worth something, right? (Sniff, sniff.) Especially for someone who hardly ever starts threads, right? (Sniff, sniff.)

    If you're going to call her the Queen of Grammar, you'd better make darned sure to spell it correctly!

    Hey, around here, I'm never going to be the science whiz; I'll settle for Queen of Grammar (provided, yes, that you spell it correctly).

    Sorry, the IT police won't let me install ieSpell at work, for fear that it would cause the downfall of the entire corporation.

    Boy, I just try to cheer up Gillian with less than 5000 posts and what do I get, the back of everyone's hand. Don't worry about me, you kids go have some fun, I'll be ok.... no, no, really, its fine, I don't mind.

    Would this be a bad time to point out that you mean "fewer"?
