well, those of us who have been around for long enough know that our beloved trickykid has been the unquestioned high lord and master of the post count for longer than the vast majority of us have been members. our seasoned members also know that acid_kewpie has been slowly but steadily creeping up on him for more than a year - and at my last check, he was only 20 posts behind tricky, and closing fast. that means that sometime today or tomorrow, we'll have a new leader...

is now a good time to mention that I'ev just joined the foreign legion and am being fedexed to mozambique tonight?

Its about time really. I knew from the first time he emailed me saying he was going to surpass me one day in number of posts, that he would do it.. I wish I still had that email.

But actually if you count his other posts as that other user, he's actually got about 600 more than what he has now.

Woohoo acid.. you go boy !

But there is one other person who will surpass us both, I'm sure most can figure that one out.

is it just me or do other people wounder how you could rack up a post count that big ?

It's easy really. Just get hired on as a Navy Pharmacy Technician, work nights for a good long while, spend most of your time at work and away from posting on LQ, learning and helping, and before you know you've accumulated over 5k posts. Then from there it's just participating, enjoying the discussions, learning even more, and of course helping out even more. I find linux more and more intreaguing (spelling?) the more I use it. When I learn something, it makes me more inclined to find out all I can about it. To sort of Master it, as best I can with the resources everyone else has (google and LQ mostly ).

Anyway, yeah, so it's not that hard really

Cool

It's called being a member and persistent for over 2 years now, that's how I've gotten my count up. Another way is being a moderator, I not only enjoy this site, I see it as a responsibility now.

you wouldn't believe how many times i've typed

./configure
make
make install

in a post....

Or Xconfigurator.... got alot of "Do not Double Post's too"

Or NTFS/VFAT support... Especially for RH

Cool (Or Cool )

well.. this one puts me level i guess.....

and i'm off to bed now, so things will have to wait....

About time Kewpie! Been wondering when you were going to get around to shutting off that little gap.

Cheers,

Finegan

ahh well the girl wouldn't let me go to bed yet as she's busy downloading sims chairs and wedding dresses....

Sounds like my sister, she's addicted to that game.

Oh man, look at that. After watching the Roy Jones/Ruiz fight on PPV, acid caught up finally.. but it appears there are some unanswered questions, so I jumped back ahead a bit.

Cool, a rat race to 10k

Woohoo, there are some lucky linux n00bs out there who are gonna get their questions answered at record breaking times now! With any luck, you'll answer my lame questions...

Cool

Oh man! It's currently narrowed to 2 posts...

I'm about dead for the night, I will come back in the morning (or afternoon rather since it's 4AM here) and see what happens when the dust settles...

Cool
