    Every now and again somebody will start a "Check it out I just made my nth post!" type of thread. What a load! Post count is meaningless. First off we don't have an accurate post count (as is bound to happen over time) many posts have been lost. Secondly, rewarding frequent posting only encourages spam. So from here on out I say we stop celebrating both meaningless post counts and the inevitable spam that said celebrations encourage.

    To spite you I am replying to this thread purely to see how many posts I have.

    I withheld my posting jamboree until I hit a significant milestone (10K). Since that harmless thing pisses you off, maybe I'll celebrate every 87, or 139 posts from now on! :ramen:

    My post count is inaccurate, because the board crashed in 09 and killed my account, along with everyone else who signed up in mid to late 08. :lol:
