Default 2000 Post!!!

I made a big deal at 1000, why wouldn't I make a big deal for 2000.

Thanks to Bingo and everyone else here at Calgary Puck for providing entertainment daily to my peasant life. I've had fun posting on, playing hockey for, and buying stuff from Calgary Puck. It's a great place to be, and I've made some great friends being here too.

And shout out to the CPHL for helping me pad my numbers! LOL.

Keep up all the good work everyone!

There are many posters with much higher totals, but they went overboard and reset the counter. I think it's around 10,000 or something? Consequentely, I frighteningly discover I'm in 5th place.

Fine... Coach has promoted me from "Powerplay Quarterback" to "First Line Centre". Is that better?

I guess the Flames can now look my way for that First Line Centre they don't need.

I don't quite get what you are talking about. There are 12 people with more than 10,000 posts (I had to check b/c I knew CowPerson had an astronomical number). What are you in 5th place for? Can't be posts because you're like 70-80th place.

It doesn't really matter, I just don't understand what you mean.

There was a time when one could take some pride in there post count, thanks to some threads (word association) post count really means nothing any smuck or troll can get to 1000 in a matter of weeks

Thanks for the buzz kill J Pold .

Although I dabbled in the Word Association thread in my younger days, I haven't touched the stuff in months.

I found Gamethreads as the place I built up a lot of posts.

I seemed to have passed the 2000 mark, but I don't know when that happened. But anyways, not about me... this is about you, congrats on 2000 big ones!

Post count is what you make it out to be. In terms of quality posters it is meaningless and that is a part of the reason why post count was removed from the posts and a part of why we now have skill ratings.

Some people don't care, and some people take pride in reaching certain milestones such as 2000. It gives them a sense of accomplishment. Not all 2000 posts may have been superb in quality but there had to have made some sort of contribution to the board along the way.

So....I have just over 1000 posts, and I have 5 red squares. Phototype has 2000 posts, and has 6 squares...and someone with around 200 posts has 3 squares. Call me crazy but that makes no sense what so ever.

And damnit I want a COLOR under my skill! Blue, Red, Green, Yellow, PINK OR PURPLE. something...Grey is just depressing.
