I think Darth Wong should give frequent posters who joined that first week or so some kind of title at the 1 year anniversery, you know, if you've got over a couple hundred posts or so to show you've remained interested.

I like it as well...since I joined in the first few days myself. MWAHAHAHA.

I'd love to have a custom title, but if I don't oh well.

Maybe if it does happen we can specify it, like within the first two weeks and having over 1000 posts.

I like that idea, being as the post count for custome titles has been raised to something like 3000, a point I shall reach approximately in the year 2007.

In theory I could be considered the second highest-ranking person here. I'm fifth in posts, but of the four people above me, only Darth Wong joined before me.

Verilon, Bean and IG-88E all joined later. Bean would be next as he joined on the forth. Course if we go by just joined date I'm 49th, counting Admiral Kanos and Darth Wong as one.

True; you would be one of the Great Old Ones if I were to start recognizing that, but you already have a custom title.

Indeed. But one can't let an ego boosting moment pass without comment.

Congratulations! If you want to know, you're 97th on the list of people with over 1000 posts. That's almost at the end of the second page.

Anyway, for some reason, at least 5 posters have overtaken me post-count-wise, and they're almost at or over 4000 now.

Post by Cyborg Stan »

I was originally around the 50th poster registered, right before phongn I believe. However, my full name Cyborg Stan of CyKoLaJx, Inc. couldn't fit so I simply didn't use that one. I then simply waited awhile for that one to disappear, then I tried registering under 'Cyborg Stan', but then my e-mail address I was using at that point stopped working. I then waited for that one to disappear and registered under 'Cyborg Stan' again, this time with a working e-mail address. This gives the date of Dec 10, 2002. I then didn't post while at home for Winter Break because I usually only post from my own computer (my own computer not having the nessarialy equipment for the broadband set-up back at home), followed by about a month of not posting when back at Uni simply because I for some reasons unknown, plugged the ethernet cable in the phone jack and vice versa. My first post here was on Jan 24, 2003.

What exactly does that make me, anyway?

I joined on the second day, was the 36th person to join and for my first three days was the Top poster by some large margin. I averaged 112 posts a day which, if I'd kept it up, would mean in the 242 days since I joined I'd have made 27,104 posts - more than the 35 who joined before me put together. :P Thankfully for everyones sanity I was away working for over 5 months. :D

ADDENDUM : In the 72 days since I came back and not including any other absences due to work, I've averaged only 20.2 posts per day so if I'd stuck to that from my forth day onwards I'd only have 5224 posts total now... just not so impressive :( , if you include the absences in that 72 day span you get 48 days of posting for an average of 30.3 posts per day, so an uniterrupted 242 day posting would have given me 7671 posts to date... Not too shabby :wink:
