Why is this thread not dead anymore

I thought we established what little purpose it served posts ago

There's nothing wrong with that. It's the conversation that followed. But, hey, it's a forum

Yeah, not like it matters!

Besides I was on-topic! Talking about how long it will take for me to join this club is definitely on-topic!

I wonder if anybody will ever reach 4000 posts...

Wait, that's very likely...give it until January.

Hm... well, I won't be joining this club for a while. Oddly enough, Many many people who have joined long after me already exceed me greatly in post count. I suppose it's mostly because I have never once visited the role play forum (I guess I just don't do that stuff) and I have only engaged in two or three extended conversations here, one with Flamboyant pencil about south jersey and the other with Raptoranton about relations between the united states and Russia. But anyway, seeing that I'm not even a fourth of the way there, I'll probably never qualify (looking back at the list of members, I actually joined before the vast majority of people. I found myself on page 6 and there are 22 pages.)

The Roleplaying forum has little to do with post count, actually. Ebly is the second highest poster in the forums, and he rarely posts there.

That's the same for Dubs, he hasn't joined any RP. Seriously, Dubs is going to beat everyone in post counts, absolutely everyone.

I wouldn't be so sure about that

*stays on forum games til midnight*

Hey you guys, can I join your club? I almost never post in forum games and roleplaying and yet I'm still eligible!

What are Alex and I then? :<

On par with me!

Diss, don't forget FerretWithASpork and JakJak, however fleetingly they might appear.

W00T.

What do I count as? I've posted a cussload but I've only been here several months.

I think we're doing it by timeframe, which would put you at, "Hey, this one's staying".

You're part of what we would call (or so defined by Ebly and I) "the third wave of members," but you are also among the ones who stayed. Given that the popularity of the comic is increasing, and we are getting more members at a consistent rate, that third wave might actually be over, and we're now in the "Ongoing Fouth Wave." This is easily comparable to the "Veteran" Badge system in TF2: Primeval Warrior being the first wave (Rick, Diss, Ebly, etc), Grizzled Veteran being the second wave (Brawler, Jimmy, Alex, Myself, countless others), Soldier of Fortune being the third wave (Sleet, Auqablast, Laxan, Dubs, and many others I just can't name them all), then, finally, Mercenary being this wave and ongoing.

*Awards Sleet a Soldier of Fortune badge until he can come up with a better badge*

I would be lying if I didn't say that some people have a larger presence in the community than others, though, regardless of how long they stayed, and that those people with a larger presence can have...varying influence, depending on what they say, and how they say it, and, actually, where they say it. Take it. As. You will.

However you take it, this community is awesome, and it's awesome (although occasionally stressful, I must admit) to help run it. Thanks for the fun times, all!

Now, allow me to bust out the special Mackerel fish I saved...for slapping everyone from the third wave who beat me to 2000 posts! Com'on everybody! Fish slappin' dance time!

*blows party whistle*








What better thread could I post my 2000th post in, right? Seriously, pretty much all of you are awesome. Thanks for making this place a great place to look after. Keep it up, m'kay? ...Whaaaaaaaaat. Don't look at me like that! I wanted to have a substantial post for my 2000th post!

I am honored, Buck! Now I have a title AND I didn't get slapped! Woohoo!

And I am totally going to post my 2000th post here!

Oh look.. :3

I've posted in the fanfic/roleplay forum before, but i never roleplayed.
Does it still count though? (when i somehow get 2000 posts.)

Soldier of Fortune? Not bad. I like it.

Though remember I was one of the earlier fans here; I just waited a while to join the forum!

I waited like sixteen months.

Yeah. Back in my day we didn't have colored Housepets!

I waited less than an hour.

I waited two decades and back then HP was drawn with crayons on spare napkins.
