But… 3K+1, baby! I was gonna make this my 3,000th, but I got caught up in the Federal Death Penalty thing, and mistakenly shot the big 3K post there. Oh, well. ---

They’re not in, but I noticed your count in Swiddles’ thread and wanted to say congrats. ---

_Mon cher_ **Bricker** : What the SDMB is after is quality, which is why the PCP custom declined. However, from the Bricker challenges to clear expounding for us laymen of the intricacies of the law over in GD, you have given us over 3,000 examples of how to write an intelligent, informative post. May you be blessed with life and health – you already have more than enough wit and wisdom – to grace this board with 3,000 more! Congratulations on this milestone, and thanks for all you’ve given us to date. 🙂 ---

Congrats, Rick! So, are we ever gonna see you at another Dopefest? It was a pleasure to meet you a couple years back! [sub]I think part of the dissing of post parties was because half the newbies who reached 100 posts were marking the occasion with a post party. There was a time when it looked like MPSIMS was going to be more post parties than everything else put together. I think we can deal with the occasional 4- or 5-digit post party. [/sub] ---

Congrats, **Bricker**. Not only have you reached a milestone, you’ve reached it with class, intelligence, and humor. I’d buy you a drink, but last time I tried it, the beer wouldn’t go through my phone line and only made a huge mess. Keep up the good work! ---

But should there be a Roger Maris-ish asterisk for the three-minute mysteries? [sub]not that I can talk, they’re probably responsible for at least 100 of my posts. But congratulations are are still due, I’m just sticking them in the small print where you lawyer types are more likely to see 'em.[/sub] ---

Just wondering, does anybody have any plans for celebrating when the board reaches the 2,500,000 mark? 3,000,000? ---

Yay for you. I tried to throw a 150-post partay for myself. Nobody attended. ☹ I’m blazing my way to 1000, though. That ought to be fun. ---

My son wants to know what would happen if someones count went to 500,000. If it was possible without messing up the boards. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-know-post-count-parties-are-no-longer-in/129711.md?page=2)
