Wow! I just posted to another thread, and realized two very interesting facts. 1. I’m 3 posts away from hitting 3000 posts. 2. My registration date on The Straight Dope is 03-14-1999! I’ve been on the board for over 10 years. I’m user #157. I wonder how many active users there are that joined before me? Like a lot of you, I came over from the AOL days. I couldn’t believe it at first and thought it would be the end of The Dope by moving off of AOL. So, wish me a belated happy 10th anniversary if you’re so inclined. 🙂 ---

I don’t think you’re supposed to post this kind of thing, but how do you get 2978 is three posts away from 3000? And happy anniversary. ---

I would assume (and the OP backs me up, I think) that the realization was made after the post preceding the OP to this thread, such that **Enright** only had 2977 posts at that time. ---

Congratulations on the anniversary and the near-milestone, **Enright3** (at your current posting rate I guess you’ll get there in a few weeks). [del]That said, it’s true that we don’t allow post count parties here, so I’m going to close this. You can pick up your gift bag at the door.[/del] Edit: Ah, screw it. No gift bag, then, but I’m curious to see if any of the earlier 156 users will show up. ---

Thanks, Marley. I don’t think there are too many of us around. Kyla’s been around for a while, and so has Rilchiam. I’d be interested in seeing how many users are registered for years here and aren’t even active anymore. I wonder how much space that’s taking up. uh… I guess not much, since they never post. Come on #'s \< 157 where are you? ETA: Howdy Kyla, I didn’t see you had posted when I wrote this… ---
