Should I plan something special? Or should I just compulsively make sure that I don’t look at my post count for a couple of months? If I do something special, what should I do? I have no creativity at all when it comes to stuff like this. ---

If you do anything special, the Mods will stomp on it with their Mod Jackboots. They frown upon the celebration of milestones around here. Best to just have it pass un-noticed in a flurry of posts about something inconsequential in IMHO. ---

I went over an average of 1 post per day a few weeks ago. Before about last October, I had around 700 posts. ---

1000, eh? [Oldtimer accent ON] Why it seems like only yesterday that I reached that goldarn tootling milestone. Of course in them days the board was very different. Kids today, huh? [Oldtimer accent OFF] ---

This is a joke right? Why would anyone count the number of posts they made? Do you count the number of sentences when you talk in a day? ---

They don’t allow celebration posts/threads about post counts here, **Plan B** , as others have said: but celebrate in your own way. Wear something outrageous. Bake a cake. Have a glass of your favourite tipple. Hug a tree. Whatever takes your fancy. Have a great time. 🙂 ---

Maybe switch off your computer, go outside and have a celebratory walk in the fresh air? ---

**Plan B** , we tend to close post-count party threads: > [@](#): > > Also, in this effort, we will be locking any post-count parties we run across, as we already do with other “post padding” threads.
