Define "9000 post club".

By traditional construction, that would mean anyone with 9000 or more posts. Eight people fit that description: jacquilina, Duke87, sloppet, Meg, DuskTrooper, Schulmanator, s.i.X. (vidioman, vid), and N_O_body.

By Nuresy-boy's claimings, it would mean anyone with 9000 or more but less than 10000 posts... which describes absolutely no one at this point in time.

Well it depends on how you define the terms of membership...    for example I am currently the only member on ST in the 8000-8999 range,    so therefore I claim exclusive and sole membership of the 8K club.

However it could also be argued that once having been a member of the 8K club that despite moving onto higher and loftier heights that as long as the said former member remains in good standing, that they retain 8K emeritus status.

However I must say that there seems to be a bit of a mess left in one corner wtih a half drunk drink bottle, that doesn't seem to have been moved for some time, a few open drawers and a discarded fluroresent safety jacket....

Oh and there is a pillow on the sofa that still has the imprint of a pair of glasses where someone fell asleep while still wearing them...

Well that is the evidence that I can see anyways...

Speaking of 275, I have 275 points, and I passed 250 posts today!

Guess what this post makes?

That's right, 1,100!

Only 117 posts between astro and me now, but by the looks of things, Larks is gonna pass both of us soon.
Give him a year and I think Jacqulina's going to have to watch out.

I don't know, it seems kind of easy if you play a lot of Forum Games. I bet I could reach 3,000 posts by the end of the year if I started playing. (Barring illness and unforeseen calamities)

That sort of illustrates my point:  It's easy to amass a large amount of mindless posts playing forum games, (and you have to admit that some of the games are pretty mindless), but it's taken beebs six years to reach his 5,740 without playing a lot of games.

Well, I have finally reached 3,000, I got to 1,000 about a year ago and a month (or was that 2,000?), and 2,000 sometime before my absence (could be 2,800).



Edit: Yep I was right, 3,000 is the mark where you become a Celebrity, hasn't changed in a long time still.

Of course, it's always fun to tweak a mod's tail. I just wanted to take the opportunity to explicitly state the point I was trying to make. I didn't mean to imply that all you do is play games, I've seen you and Larks posting all over the site, and you must be doing something right to have gotten your own Moderator's Badge within a year of joining the site.

900 posts!

I'd like to think I have some sort of quality to my posts, buy I have a tendency to ramble in my posts that can sometimes lead people to misunderstand the point I'm trying to get across or just completely ignore it, which essentially renders the post invalid, which thus means that that post is not of high quality, which thus makes me a low quality poster. I also have an annoying habit of completely changing the subject in the midst of a post, which then means that Modern Warfare 2 is coming out on November 10th and that's going to be the most incredible game of the year.

Did y'all catch that? :-)

1200 here. I think I've slowed down a lot. That's ok, I've been chatting more to. And moderating. That takes time and double thought. So my posts are doubly good.
