So true Debbie! Just look at Phred's (and others, who have been here a long time) post count ... and I can't help but mentioning John (Jonza), he made it to about 300 posts in two years. I'm sure that most who were here at the time, remember the majority of his posts.
I thought it was fun when I had the first 100 and also 1000, but since then, it's really not that important.

It is a bit tedious to have to wade through all these one sentence posts, that appears to have been posted to get the number up. Also when the same person post a new reply right under the first. In my opinion, people who join a Forum like this, should learn about the features - including edit!

I think a lot of us are quite aware, that popularity is not a matter of how many posts you have, but the quality of them! This becomes increasingly important with more members. If you take a look at "Thread of year", you'll see that many threads were started by posters who don't have a high post count.
