I’d like to use it for something especially noble, worthwhile and fulfilling. I’m open to your offers and suggestions.

Well, you could use it to tell everyone how awesome I am…that’d be worthwhile…

Seriously though. Just grab a title that catches your eye, and shoot. Everyone knows you should save the REALLY good posts for 1000 anyways…

</div>

a) start a flirt thread

b) use it to start a thread about a certain sort of anecdote in the IMHO forum, such as: favorite pet stories, or “What I did on my summer vacation,” etc.

c) start a thread telling specific things about yourself, such as: where you live, what you do for a living, whether you are married, single, what you like to do, etc.

d) post it in reply to another thread that you particularly admire.

Congratulations on your upcoming 500th post.

Perhaps you could put it up for bid on e-Bay, then just donate the proceeds to charity.

before you hit your 500th you should go to another forum and start this convo there, just to see what their input it.

hehe… 🙂

I was wondering where I should put my 118[sup]th[/sup] post at and it came to me in a dream. I shall put it here. And the next one will go there. When and if I get to my 500[sup]th[/sup], it’ll go over there. :: points :: Not like it really matters though.
