Well Past 100,000, Or, A Monumental Moment Squandered

So, I just passed 100,000 posts on these here forums.

I joined back in November 2004, which means I've had an account here for more than 7,100 days, with an average post count of at least 14 posts a day.

I had meant to have my 100,000th post be this thread. But I lost count and stopped paying attention for just long enough to zip on by.

Instead, it appears this is my 100,000th post:

I have been paying attention to the reporting on the conflict, that is why I don't take anything the US government says about the conflict at face value.

All things considered, I think being critical of and incredulous towards the United States government is probably as fine a way to inaugurate my account into the six-digits as any of the half-formed shitpost ideas I had been considering.

I'm already being a bit self-indulgent just by making this thread so let me ask you this: are there any particular posts of mine you have found to be particularly humorous or insightful? What kind of impression have I made? Or am I just "that mpeg Optimus guy" to you?

Go ahead and ask me a question yourself, if you feel like.

    We don't interact much directly, but I think you're a pretty cool poster!

    I like having you around!

    Congrats on 100k!

    That's a lot!

    Which post do you want on your tombstone?

    In as much as I can know a complete stranger from the internet: you seem like a good person with a good head on your shoulders. I like your posts and always look forward to reading your insights into various issues both political and social (and artistic, if we're counting). I hope you continue to post here and bring critical attention to issues that might otherwise get lost in the shuffle of activity in SE. Keep fighting the good fight!

    You didn't specify it had to be a post of mine, so I am going to ask that it be a video screen with this Forum Battle entry of yours on loop

    how do you even get to 100k

    does that work out to more than 10,000 hours? because you're probably an expert poster

  • UrielUriel Registered User regular
    I have 85k

    I'll never catch up dang

    Then again if you account for the years between 04 when I also joined and now that I was banned you really gotta think what if I was posting that whole time

    My post count would be immense

    I've been here like, 20 years and I only have 17k

    I was basically inactive for a while though, and a lurker

    how weird is it that we just accept and welcome the lurker

    yeah anonymous internet stranger come watch

    wow my account's over a year older and I don't have half that many posts

    y'all be chatty

    I think if you take your 100kth post there and removed every post like it over the last 9 months, you'd surely be under 90k

    (They sure do make you repeat yourself a lot over there)

  • DarkPrimusDarkPrimus Registered User regular
    FWIW I don't think the post count of someone is a mark of worth or anything. It's an accomplishment but not the sort you'd bring up on your resume or in a situation where you're making small-talk with people.

    While there are definitely posts I have been proud of over the years, I don't feel proud about reaching this total number? Plenty of y'all out there with fewer posts who still make big impressions.
