Re: 5000 posts in Books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I certainly do recall H-I. You were little more than a pile of bones and I was but a fledgling wight struggling to spread my shadows.

BTW, how did you get so many posts? Posting one word at a time?

Playing quotes automatically increases one's posts' number twice - first you post a quote, than you post yeah or nay - if the answer is correct or incorrect, see.

You people are crazy! I've been here forever and look how many I have! Man! I guess I should do some trivia or something.

What's a burrahobbit got to do with my pocket, anyways?</p>

I guess I must be relatively laconic, too. I was a Pile o' Bones around the same time as HI and I predict it won't be long before he doubles my total.

Lets take enep as an example.. here he has just about double my amount (if not more) and I have been here for more than double what he has.. A few months ago I made maybe 2 posts a week, sometimes none at all... I have taken a vacation from posting for awhile, and now I am finished with that. Lookout ezboard here I come!! Determined as ever!! <img src=wink.gif ALT="">

Let's calculate - this must be my 790th post. I joined Barrows 23th or 24th september 2000, which was exactly 5 months ago. So we have average 158 posts per month = 39,5 per week and 5,64 per day (approximately). Not so bad, but not furious either

Re: 5000 posts in Books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmmmm. I joined the EZ boards last April and began posting here in June or July, 2000. This is my 648th post here, I think, most made in Books. So I average just under 3 posts a day. H-I, I think you underestimate the extent of your obsessive-compulsive behavior..... I mean your dedication. <img src=wink.gif ALT="">

Just a short note.

Remember that this is not a posting contest. The number of posts you write are unimportant compared to the quality of your posts. Let our conversations never degrade to the back and forth bantering found at most other EZBoards. That's what the chatroom is for <img src=smile.gif ALT="">

Keep it Tolkien... Keep it on Topic (something I have terrible trouble doing sometimes <img src=wink.gif ALT=""> )

Yes, Ron is right. I dont think we want to end up like some sites out there. (trust me it isnt pretty, whole topics degrading to a post containing one emoticon <img src=smile.gif ALT=""> simply there to outdo the last <img src=wink.gif ALT=""> and so on <img src=pimp.gif ALT=":hat"> ) On my quest last night looking at other other boards I must say that the Downs is extremely good, we hardly ever stray off topic <img src=rolleyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"> and when we do it usually contains at least some subtle point before sarcastic banter. The quality of our discussions here is very good, something alot of other boards dont have. Thank you for listening to my mindless banter, now back to ME <img src=smile.gif ALT="">
