Thumbs up Congratulations CaptainCrunch on 50,000 posts!

I just made my 11,000th post and it made me wonder who was the top contributor in terms of number of posts on CP over the years. Went to have a look and to my surprise it looks like Cap'n Crunch hit 50,000 this morning.

Good job old timer. If we assume the Cap'n averages five minutes per post, which if we factor in his Star Wars essays that might be a low estimate, he's wasted approximately a half of a year of his life posting on CP over the last 15 years.

It looked like TheScorpion was going to hit 50,000 before you, given the rate at which he was posting at for a little while there, but you managed to pull it out.

I'm sure someone's going to tell me this is wrong because the post count reset when the forum software changed but that's OK.

Took a look at the list and was surprised to see Ashasx ahead of me with 23,503 to 23,004 posts, despite signing up 9 years after me!

Congrats Cap! It says a lot about CP that the top contributor is so knowledgeable and well versed in many subjects.

I wonder how many posts Cap would have if the Star Wars essays were broken into trilogies like the films are?

Today's my ten-year CP-iversary, and I think my favourite thing over those ten years has been watching Captain Crunch go from "presents himself as grumpy-old-man" to "actually just a grumpy old man."

If you go back and read the first word in each line of his posts, they write a Star Wars novel.

Play the CP Avatar game: go to the Member List (sorted by number of posts) and see how many users you can identify just based on their avatar in the far right column.

http://forum.calgarypuck.com/memberl...rt=posts&pp=30

I was surprised (?) how many I could get... considering it's not something I've ever consciously tried to remember.

Now where did I put my car keys...

CroFlames, Corsi, and Calgaryblood are all ahead of you for 15ers.

You really have to step it up if you're going to compete. I recommend spending more time in Off Topic, choose a political or moral position to defend/attack, and just light it up.

I believe in you.

Snakeye and MMF would probably be in first if they didn't keep getting banned. It is kinnda like Jagr playing in Europe.

I wonder what Captain Crunch's "Best Of" compilation would look like?

Captain Crunch's 50K Solid Gold-Platinum Album only $19.95 from Ktel....


I honestly might buy that

Just looked at the list, I didn't realize I had just recently passed 9000 posts myself. And according to the list, Cecil you're sitting in exactly 100th place for most CP posts (I'm #141) #RandomFacts

EDIT: and someone tell Drury18 to make a post, he's been sitting at 9,999 posts for over 3 months. Stop leaving us in suspense!!
