Yes we have. I don’t think it’s so much the post parties themselves, it just that so many people are reaching the 1000 so fast in such a short time it’s catching us all by surprise. Used to take most posters at least 4-6 months to reach the mark, now it only takes the new posters about 2 months.

Anyways, congrats to ya Silo!!!
