So when does the Limo arrive to pick me up? And is the goat involved somehow? ---

10,000 posts, and never realized that post-count parties are taboo? tsk tsk tsk _heads to the bar to get a drink before the big guns show up_ ---

In before the lock! Seriously, there should be an exception for certain milestones. 10K is one of them. How many other people have “wasted” that much of their life at this place? 😃 ---

Congratulations! Thinking back on how much time and effort my mere 700-odd posts has cost me in terms of lost work and general wasted time, I can barely imagine how little you’ve gotten done since you signed on here. 😃 ---

I thought PcPs where those where it was a ‘party’ with the purpose of increasing post counts. Am I wrong?? Mods? ---

I stand informed/corrected.

They’re the fluffiest of the fluff. Now, of course there are exceptions from the link, this thread, being likely to happen once every ten thousandth post, might be excluded by the statement 'most of ‘em anyway’. ---

When I opened my (immediately closed) thread for **Guin** ’s 20,000th, it was mentioned that it _might_ have been allowed had I asked permission first. ---

> [@InvidiousCourgette](#): > > For Og’s sake. I thought I spent too much time here. I think you deserve a medal or something. Probably a something. 😉 A personal wrist-slap from **Cecil** will do. It’s human nature to make a big deal of milestones or counts reaching big round numbers, even if the thing being counted is meaningless. I won’t bump this thread myself, so I’ll say thanks now to all those who have and may congratulate me on managing to reach a big round number. ---
