Maybe we should just call you Homey. To quote the immortal MyTatuo: Nope, too literal. There were three choices I gave him, plus one I doubt would be used. The three were: Apprentice Warlock, Keeper of the Clock and Gatekeeper, so it should be one of the three. Guess we'll wait and see.

I think you would make a good Gatekeeper...don't be caught without your hat....you get docked ten points.

The one I wore for the jester role at the Renaissance dinner was very top heavy and uneven. That combined with the oversized pantaloons really cause a few problems (fortunately in regard to the latter, they had a good tie and I wore a pair of biker shorts just in case. Well, this is 1,499. What does the next one hold?

Maybe you should post a caption or something worthwhile. My 1,000th and 2,000th posts were good ones. Got to live up to the standards.

I am now entering my 2200th post. Today is my four-month anniversary. That means I average 550 posts per month. Since the board total is now at 11, 658, that means that I control roughly 19% of the posts on this board. Weird...I hate math.

You mean, if I hit the button deleting every single one of your posts, we'd lose 19% of the board? Weird...

Well, you would have to delete the tally too. I can delete posts all the time, but my count stays the same.

I can adjust you to 22,000 or 22.00 Not that I would, but if every one of your posts were accidently deleted, I would think that your post count should reflect that

Yup...that math just went way over my head.

You know, that's weird. Because I've recently noticed that too (that, if you delete your own post, your 'count' stays the same). What's weird is that when I first signed up, I remember deleting the occasional post of mine here and there (for whatever reason - I thought it was a stupid question, etc.) and the total number of posts DID go back DOWN. Perhaps this changed when the board was automatically 'upgraded'?

I thought the same would happen, but I saw that it was not true. Maybe this is allowed here so people can reduce the clutter without people thinking that they are always at the same number of posts somehow...maybe it shows what you have accomplished overall.

My new goal is to get the board to 20,000 posts by my one-year anniversary...so I could use some help. I have over 3K now and rising, but the more helping the merrier...and a month and a half to do it.

I have over 3K now and rising, but the more helping the merrier...and a month and a half to do it. Well, between the two of us five-star posters here (not including mods), we've got about 7,000+ posts on the board. I haven't been posting much as I've been working on fanfics and other personal stuff, but hope to start doing more soon. (At least the stories are also fun to write, both Aidan ones and traditional ones. Now, I've just got to quit hearing the Swedish Chef in my head...)

I think there would be more activity here if two things were to definitely happen. 1. If the moderators were around more and more active, I think other people would be too...especially members from the old board who are never here...or not here that often. 2. If the main site was updated and ready to be viewed again by the public...to me this would include deleting or editing postings on the message board, such as in the captions page where so many pictures are broken because the links are gone...just basic update and maintenance. I think these two major things would ensure more participation and we could easily reach 20K...probably with our eyes closed.

I do agree with the moderators, but I'm sure they're busy just like the rest of us. Right now, at least as far as I know, I'm the oldest regular poster on the current boards, at a 1 year 5 months (yes, I joined in March, but that's another story.) Ads far as reaching 20K with our eyes closed, don't know, my luck I'll end up making a post that doesn't make sense (or actually... one that does. )

Well, as of this post, we're getting closer to the 20K mark. It'll be interesting to see what it is. What's funny is I'm now passing posts in the screencaps thread that say they mark the X amount of posts in the thread, but since we've deleted bad ones, that's not true anymore (and my fault mostly, as I have the most in it. ) My guess is we'll reach the mark by the end of the year. Then again, we'd probably reached it by now if I had been a little more brief in my posts (see the last post first game thread. I was wordy. )

Well, I did 10K, I'll be sure to hover about and pad the threads to crank it up to 20K as well.
