Eclipse's 20,000th Forum Post

[FlyTiger77]

Based on publicly-available information, Mr. Eclipse should surpass 20,000 posts sometime today.

I believe this calls for some sort of forum party.

[Майор Хаткевич]

Someone run some challenge coins to commemorate the event!

How many of those posts are one word?

Where's the Beef?

Seems like only yesterday it was 7,000 and Too Much Free Time was born.

Seriously.

The magic number is "17"

If he needed help, we wouldn't be here.

By my 6th post I had already called out WIWG and Whatevah.

Live and learn.

I went to look that up...saw that this is your "actual" post count: 20131

Interesting - I know there's a few whole threads that were unpublished over the years...

[RogueLeader]

Probably a few in the Test Board, know know as the Forum Support as well.

Man, I really love Spring Encampment. So many good memories/times/stories from those.

It's a shame I wasn't around for "Mass Casualties", because that's a gut buster!

[Luis R. Ramos]

How does the board acknowledge posts? It does not seem to be in "real time," as Eclipse's count for the last three posts were 19.988.

Definitely my best CAP memory and while I hope to be involved more in the future, like
anything else you can never repeat your "first time".  It is nice to see that my successors
have kept things moving in the same direction.

I was just this morning looking at GEarth historical imagery at how much the base grew and changed
during my tenure.

It is realtime. That number will show what the current published post count is when the thread is loaded.

+1.

10 more to go! Maybe there needs to be a new title besides TMFTA?

Fun Facts:
a2capt got the 300,000th post (people assumed Eclipse would).
After the fact, it was deducted I hold the 200,000th post (people assumed Eclipse had).
Eclipse missed 100,000th by ONE post:

I think Eclipse needs to be placed into protective custody until the 20,000th post is reached.  I couldnt go on if anything happened to him at 19,999!!

It would be a truly sad day. Though if something does happen, I'm calling dibs on the rights to all eClipseco Mining and Heavy Machinery Consortium trademarks.

Wait for it... wait for it...

Wow, this feels like the countdown for New Year's!
