Halfy is about to become the sixth member of the Forumshire chapter of the 10K Club.

What?!


I like Figgy's list very much.

Your post count; you're almost to 10,000.

I know.  I shall commence rationing to drag out the experience.

Henceforth I'll only reply if somebody writes something so compelling that I just can't help myself.  All other posts you may assume is being tacitly responded to thusly:



{{ I can also respond by editing, without upping my post count! Jon would be displeased. }}

That's not how it's supposed to work.

Let the spam flow through you!

My I also point out that 9999 is in its way an even more attractive number than 10K?
{I'm approaching 5555 myself, and the excitement has been keeping me up nights!   }

!!

yes, 9999 IS more attractive. I may ease towards it.

After that it's only a short jaunt to 10101 and then 11111, too.

!!!

11111 beats 9999 on quantity, but is it really more aesthetically pleasing?  It lacks the mystery.  And in scientific data sets, various versions of 9999 (mainly negative) are used to denote "missing data".  It's haunted with the unknown.

Am I supposed to edit THIS post, or the last one I posted?

Got the message. Ready to go.

9999 also has suspense going for it. Like a millipede waiting to drop the last shoe...

True, that. 9999 was one of the few non-thousand posts counts that I screenshotted.

{{{Talking of which I seem to have yet again blundered drunkenly through another milestone without noticing until 40 posts too late }}}}}

{{{I suppose you could argue that if nobody can read them they don't count. }}}

In just one more post.....

I'll be exactly 5 short of 5555, while at the same time Halfy is 5 short of 9999.

Your move, Mr Halfwise.

Ooooh, this is getting exciting !!

Imagine if you guys make your milestone posts simultaneously. That would be a helluva commemorative screenshot.

Ah, I see Halfy is poised on the brink, with only one post short of 9999. I better catch up!

This IS an interesting idea of simultaneous posting Eldo. What do you think Halfy? Do you want to pick a time and try for it?

He'd better reply via PM though or else it's a moot point.

Of course even if you'd like to, you can't post directly without crossing the line, but you can edit your last post if you like. I'll check there periodically.

Edit. good point Eldo. PM's work well too

Edit: my %$$#$% clock must be different
