Milestones

Well it is if you're think 1900 and 3,283 is.

Me, I don't pay much attention to postcounts, but they are a nice little bit of fun.

If i was being a pedant i could point out that the hyphen in 'post-boostingesque' makes it sound like a dire art movement.

IF?

And there are loads of other threads that are no different, TBH. I can't see the harm in it.

Given the precedent set in here though, I could just continuously post "Approaching 10,000 soon" over and over in here until I actually hit it, at which time I could then post "10,000 up." I actually don't mind the latter as I said before and I'll probably pop in here when I hit 5000, but people who come in here saying they are approaching milestones - or worse still, declare goal milestones - really get on my nerves.

I don't mind the "approaching X", TBH - as long as it's within 3 or 4 posts, not 40 or 50, and as long as it's a grand's milestone. Just a century is silly IMO - I've done that in a single day more times than I can count.

Quite agree on declaring goal milestones - utterly defies the point of posting on the boards AFAIC. Those who do such a thing let themselves in for some rightful derision. Though TBF it's only a very small number.

And on that note - when I posted this, you were on 3,999 ! :p

It would have been quite humourous if my 4,000th post was in the milestones thread whinging about people using it too much, without acknowledging my own milestone.

Unfortunately I wasted it elsewhere though. :p

And just to be hypocritical, I'd like to declare that I'm approaching 4,077 posts - a number which is quite significant to me.
 
Richard you were on 22,000 when you came back IIRC now you have just decided to go on a posting spree probably will disappear in about 6 weeks again tbh.

Nah he was only somewhere around 20,000 and it's not a posting spree, it's just his normal amount of posting. I actually think he might stick around for a while now that he's a staff member
