How long did it take you to reach 1,000 posts here?

[Vexr]

Just under 11 months ago I joined this forum and it quickly became my primary hangout message board wise. This will be my 998th post, so I'm almost certainly there (barring a surprise banning ).

I see a lot of members posting who have been here for 5-10 years+ and are still not at 1k posts, and others who've joined in 2019 and are far exceeding my posting rate, probably on track to hit 1k within 6 months or less.

So how long did it take most of you? (Hopefully this thread isn't a bannable offence on the grounds it's been asked many times before )

Not quite made it yet.

When I joined 100 posts couldn't come soon enough to shake off Fredo's face next to my name.

Next up was a made man (should be more high ranking on this forum for that alone I'd have thought), yet was murdered in Goodfellas. Either way, quite a step up from the previous avatar.

Now I'm enjoying the last days of seeing Goodfella's psychotic Joe Pesci next to my name.

Next up I believe is the guy from the Sopranos, who going by my posting rate will be my accompaniment for a long time to come (I've not watched a single episode of Sopranos).

After that I believe it's Henry Hill, so getting back to Goodfella's territory.

from looking at 'your content'...
9 years because only used to post threads/ask questions about best cpu/game etc

would've been a lot faster now because I reply to things like this sometimes

Ah you should've seen my first 300-500 posts - nearly all dry tech and detailed talk limited to the hardware forums. I view some 2019 whippersnappers with equal disdain that they can 1 sentence post/flippant comment 10-20x a day and be racking up the post count.

A personally historic moment. Haha

Right where's all those cheap GFX cards on the MM.

Make sure you offer a score for a 2080ti because someone else sold one for that price last year.

With testimony like this my expectations are already ramped

urgh what is this blue mode filth. Turn dark mode on you low post scum (just so its clear im kidding about the scum but not about dark mode)

Tried it, sodding grey on black on dark grey, with white text. I like Internet 1.0, but I do not see going mega monochrome as an advantage here. This place is dark blue by default with white text, so therefore is somewhat darkmode and easy-on-the-eyes already.

211 days.

First I worked out my posting rate using my post count and length of membership. Then I divided 1000 posts by my rate to get the number of days.

It’s not entirely true as I lost a load of posts in charity giveaways but it’s not a bad guess.

My estimate was I'd hit 1k in July 2019, which remained so up until about May. 2 months past due it's happened.

I have to say, having taken a cursory glance at the current active posts in the member's market, I'd say going overboard to reach it via a 1k post count may not be warranted.

A while yet.

As my mother used to say, if you've nothing nice to say, don't say anything.

I don't talk very often....

Wise words. I think I have a few left over posts I made 900+ that've probably made me some hypersensitive reactive enemies/those that now me see with disdain. My queries were not offensive, but perhaps I posted them too fast with the secret agenda of raising my post count.

Now at 1K+, like Pauli in Goodfellas, I don't move for anyone post count-wise because I don't have to

(hah we'll see)

You've done well to achieve 1,000 posts in under 12 months. With quick math an average post rate of 2.739 per day is required.

Earlier this year I predicted I'd hit 1k in July, but things slipped Either way, glad to get there in the end, if for nothing more than to ensure I can keep an eye on the MM and avoid any fear of missing out (real or not) regarding what's on there.

I see a lot of Joe Pesci avatar'd posters on this thread with veteran join dates. Hope you all get over the line soon enough
