100 posts a week until the end of the year will only get you 4800 posts.  So that makes 14 posts a day until the end of the year.........That's 1 post every hour until the end of the year, to only get 4800 posts........

Was that aimed at me?

[WarrenGmon]

No way was it aimed at you, it wasnt aimed at anyone, i was just getting my brain back in working order, i just started back at school and had to do something to get going again.  

Hehehe, but it is funny how many posts people r gunna have to do to get to the 5000 mark.     

[+Justin]

just an idea.... have it so that if a person gets over like 100 posts they can set their own title?

[Fox]

yay, I'm IFR!

[Dr_Evil]

Oh right! I get it now!

Any way to buy credit to boost your rating? If so, how much for the posting credit for the "silencer thread". I want to lay dibs on that one! The way it's going I'll be the first  -???    by May!

How cool a title is -???  

I want to be one of them!

I don't want to rain on this idea, but I think its causing more trouble then its worth....
I've noticed more and more "spam" posts since this started. Which is making it really had to track threads that are interesting....
You get guys who come on once per day and just post one post in each thread with the simple "that's great", or "great shot", when you can see by the time on their posts across the threads,  that they didn't even have time to download the pictures they're commenting on.....
This kind of thing forces various threads to drop off the pages before anybody gets a chance to look at them...I've had to set my board settings to show 40 (max) topics per page so I can find what I'm looking for a little faster and see the new posts with out having to walk through multiple pages...
Which I think sucks for people who post screen shots, that by the time people get on to look at them, they've already dropped of the page...so nobody sees them...and if one of the "spammers" posts there, you know you aren't getting a sincere response to your shot....just someone trying to increase their post count....

It's just my opinion....

Hey there Pu239,

   I hate to say it, but your comments were basically my first thoughts when I started reading this thread.  At least your post helps me keep this one short.

Both of you, I could not agree more and I could say I was also think the same thing as you Pu239 and peterock.  I can admit I have done a little bit of this but at least I let the page load and read all of the text abou tthe stuff and looked at the shots.  So long!

Tell Brad to post 5000, then we'll know! (NOTE: Unfortuanately, he only has 2117 posts to today i think)

[cx409]

Why don't just reduce the 5000 to 1

[FlightSim56]

I Think 5000 Will Equal Spammer Pilot  

[newflyer]

Pu239, great post, I really do think it's unfortunate how little thought it put into some posts, and how it's just "nice shots!" and then that drops lots of things down off the page, I second Pu239!

well, i hope no one thinks i am a spammer, because i have high speed internet so the pics load very quickly, and what more can someone say than grerat pics...i don't think anyone wants to read an essay describing why they liked each picture

[cx409]

Suggestion to Brad:

create a member (name it like test_member or something)
set the post count to 5001 (through admin cp)
and let us see what it is!

[Brad]

And give away the secret?  No way!

[Hornet]

Eric is closing in on 5000 posts.
