Post #10,000

Goddammit...I forget who it was, but someone did an amazing job with this little milestone (though I think it was for the 5,000th post) and used it to rip on Slater, who was giving him hell. I actually wanna say it was Phil. Maybe BobClark (now Doug).

At any rate, I suppose congratulations are in order. So huzzah to you, sir.

Justin Clark, So I guess that makes you a Perfect...10,000? Congratulations!

Aww, I love you too, Bunny.

I remember when I hit 10,000... twice (I'm not still bitter about losing 2000 or so posts when forums were deleted in earlier versions of CHUD).

Congrats, man! In a message board of thousands, you've managed to make a name for yourself by being a model Chewer. You've got the right amount of wit, humor, and snark that the Sewer loves so well. You've definitely been a huge part of my CHUD experience and have always been a pleasure to read and interact with.

It was Phil. For post 8.000.

Clark's one of the great ones.

Right back atcha Justin mate. You're one of the many that make this place the-home-in-my-head - and one of the best of 'em too.

Congrats Justin. I sometimes have to jostle my memory a bit to remember what a given chewers original handle might have been, but I always remember you were Crow.

Aren't I a big mo.

Point is, you've always been a constructive and valuable part of this community.

It took you seven years to do what Princess Wiki will accomplish before 2011. Congrats on having a mother that believed in you.

I didn't bring it up, though.

Post counts mean nothing, especially since August of last year. And especially since hundreds of posts were lost in the reboot. This is not your 10,000th post. This is not my beautiful wife. Motherfuck a post count.

But a thread for Justin Clark? That I can get behind. I like this guy. And I especially admire his non-Cronenbergian physical transformation. I want him to teach my fat ass his secrets.

Back off fatty - he's teaching me first!

I can appreciate Justin Clark.

But, I can appreciate bacon more. Let's see if that changes when he hits 20,000 posts.

I realized I passed the ol 10k about a week ago, but after getting knocked back like 800 posts back during the reboot, it didn't feel quite as special.

Not that you non-10,000 post people shouldn't still congratulate me.

If you guys would read the fucking Going To The Gym thread you wouldn't need him. But you'd still want him. Hard. And fast.

Congrats, Justin Clark! Very good job. As I hope you can see from this thread, you're a valued member of the CHUD-munity(c). I for one look forward to reading your next 10 000 posts!

.........

As for my own post count, which seems to have inexplicably become a topic of discussion in this thread, for the most part it's something I try to avoid talking about

So yes, I'll admit that I think it's going to be a proud moment for me as a Chewer to hit 10 000 posts. However, there is so much resentment from certain circles about the fact that I enjoy CHUD and post frequently that I am not looking forward to the tidal wave of criticism that is sure to inundate me once I hit that magic number


I mostly just try to ignore my post count, peeking over at it every once in a while just so that I won't accidentally pass 10 000 without doing something to commemorate the event.

When I got to my 1000th post, I posted a little birthday cake gif for myself on my blog party. When I get to 10 000, I imagine I'll do something similar. I've been posting a little "Thanks for reading" message whenever 10 000 more people read my blog, but for my post count? I think once I hit 10 000 I'm going to try to downplay it for the most part. Everyone can see it next to my name. At a certain point it's like McDonalds and burgers sold. No need to draw attention to it anymore, people know they sell alot.

To me, it's about quality, not quantity. There have been posts on this site that I've spent 10+ hours writing, and they mean more to me than a silly number under my location.


Once I get to 10 000, I believe I'm only going to recognize the most traditionally significant 'big numbers' after that. So, 25 000, 100 000, 150 000, 200 000, 500 000, 1 000 000, and so on. I don't want to memorialize every little milestone

I dread to think of a world featuring 1,000,000 Princess Kate posts.

Unless you plan to be alive in the year 2110 AD, you may not have to worry about it

I just did some mental math and assuming my calculations are correct (based on my current rate of posting), I won't reach one million posts for another hundred years.

See? If you made it, you'd have outlived us all. Hence the dread.

aaaand lets Re-Rail this topic

well done good sir. I have quite a ways to go before I reach that milestone, but I hope that when I do its built on the same foundation of quality posts (rather then post racking like some..)

congrats

Congratulations. Like many others before you, you have managed to waste time on a grand scale that more productive members of society can only imagine.

For instance, I should have washed the dishes instead of commenting in this thread. Instead, I'm now one more post up. Woo!

Fuck it, I'll read that roided up, sweaty thread and be done with it.
Congrats Justin. Excellent way to waste your time. One of the best.
I still think of you as Crow, though, ultimately.

Justin is good people, (like Phil) stick around for another 10,000 posts man.

And in seeing this post I realised I have been here 6 years! Where has the time gone?

I will use my 400th post to congratulate you on your 10000th, Justin. I always enjoy reading what you have to say, you seem like good people. Congrats.

Also, I'm breaking a trend. It seems every one hundred posts, I mention someone's dick. I didn't do that in this post. So, thanks for giving me a reason to have a dick free 400th post, Justin. For this I am eternally grateful.

I'd like to thank Justin for being an awesome poster and being one of the more welcoming Chewers here to noobs like me.

gratz, Justin. You're definitely one of the good guys.

I'd like to congratulate Justin but really I just want to up my post count.

Congrats anyway!

Greg David, Congratulations on your...10,000th post as well! If you had started a thread for it, maybe more people would have known you also are over 10,000 posts on CHUD.COM!

I say I'm congratulating Justin, but I'm really just posting because I'm too lazy to look for my post count.

Justin has always been great to me and to everyone else as far as I can see. I have no bones with him.

I seem destined never to get there.

Geoff!!! you and your sexy avatar have returnd.

Keep your dirty hands off, Ken. She's all mine...

How many posts will Pk have when I hit 10k post? I bet she hit 100k before I hit 10k

I am a Justin fan.

I remember a time when members with 5,000 posts were as rare as hens' teeth. What sweet air we breathed back then - before all the super egos, vendettas, shills, rivalries, secret boards and such.

Now you NEW LOT have turned up with your words, arguments and ... err ... cultural ignorance of Generation X. It's the end of civilization as we know it I say!

Congratulations, Justin...glad to see all that lying about beating the hover bike level in "Battletoads" ended up being useful.

I kid, I kid...here's to another 10.000 more, hopefully a lot of them in the Videogame thread.

PS: I do call BS on landing the plane on Top Gun.

Sorry for getting on your lawn, old man Geoff.

I've done both of those! Where is all this lying?!

You are all liars! Liars I say!

Or worse, Game Genie users!



Okay, that was over the line, I take it back.

For me, it's a bit like the speed of light.

The closer I get, the further it is away.

I second that. Where ya been?!

Teaching + Kids = No Chud.

Thankfully, things are getting a bit easier now. Good to hear from you, Diva.

Glad to hear its not health related. You've definitely been missed.

Good evening, Chud-munity(c)!

I am posting tonight to celebrate an important milestone for my tenure at CHUD. You see, this post you are reading now is in fact....

With this message, I will have posted on the board 10 000 times since joining the CHUD MB in early August 2009. It's been a long, strange road to get to this point, but as I type these words into the quick reply box at the bottom of the 'POST #10,000' page, I know now I have made it

I want to thank everyone for their support and endless patience with my eccentricities, and I want you to know that I am always doing my utmost each and every day to improve as a Chewer. That won't change just because I now have posted 1/100th of a million times

Anyway, thanks again for making CHUD such a wonderful place to hang out on line. The fact I've posted here ten thousand times says far more about CHUD and the classy people who post here than it does about me

To mark the occasion, feel free to partake in some imaginary refreshments:

I wonder if AIDS pats itself on the back after ravishing one's body.

Bye.

*sigh*

She's an overachiever, I'll give her that.

I hope somebody updates the Princess Kate thread!

C'mon, Katie. No good can come from this. I mean...this achievement(?) couldn't have been celebrated in your bloggy thread thing?

Heh.

You all have too much time on your hands.
