Some day when I have 1000 posts I will look back on the days when I was new and green with less than 100 posts and think of them as the good old days. I will see newbies here and tell them stories of the old times, when we had connections of only 36000 bps, when we had to trudge through a long registration process just to get here (not really though because we all know old people tend to exagerate when they tell stories) and we **liked it !** Getting a high post count scares me, but it’s also exilarating knowing it will come to all of us someday, yes I’m talking about 10000 posts (what’d you think I was talking about, death? You’re silly).

This is the place to talk about a high post count and what scares you or excites you about it (and look like a bunch of old people).
