Landmark Posts

[Stupot]

This is my 1000th post.
Hooray for me.

I thought I'd mark the occasion by starting a thread which we can all use to share our landmark posts and reflect upon our time so far as a member of the AGS forums.

I remember when I first signed up and I had loads of ideas for games and I was really enthusiastic... Well, I still have loads of ideas, they're just different ones.  But if anything I'm more enthusiastic about my current project than I've ever been about a previous one.

You'd think I'd have more to show for 1000 posts, in the form of cold, hard games... or even some decent artwork... but alas, I've spent most of them chatting bollocks in the General Forum... It's been fun, though, and I don't intend on going away any time soon, but I do promise to start spending some more quality time in the technical forums and the Critics Lounge from now on... time to make myself useful.

So anyway, if you have a landmark post coming up at any time, why not spend it in here and use it as a chance to make a bit of a speech and reflect over your past 100, 250, or 1000 posts (or whatever you feel is a valid landmark 666, 108, 911, there are no rules).

[Grundislav]

Does frequency count as a landmark too?  I noticed you've accumulated your 1000 posts in a little over a year, which is pretty commendable.

Now, for the record, this is my 680th post...

...in 7 years!

[LimpingFish]

1684 in just under four years.

Now it's 1685.

A landmark to how much useless muck I can type.

[Nikolas]

2785 in around 2 1/2 years
2.78 posts per day. What is my life becoming?

And why am I having a deja vu? Maybe because I've seen this post again, somehow?

[Evil]

3164 in six and a half years.

Nothing like Grundy. That's impressive.

[veryweirdguy]

Grundi (accidentally or otherwise) raises a good point.

The person with the lowest post frequency in this thread (thus far) has had the most productive AGS career (I think he did some kind of thing about a ghost hunter or something? There's like 6 of them, they're moderately popular.)

In conclusion: this is scientific proof that your post count is inversely proportional to your productivity. See, science!:



What, you think that is bogus science and that I did no research to prove this? Well then look at this: FURTHER PROOF:



And if you're still not convinced:



Science solves everything except religion and dangerous minorities.

I learned to love this community of people,
even when I only came to the forums and read the posts it felt good to know that the same people were still around.  For me it's a thrill when some good game is released or some cool module is developed, it means the genre and the love for the game is on!
Also, it's a honour to be next to so many brilliant people.
I did a crapy game in 2003 that had a save/restore problem (v.2.6, I guess) and I recently did another crapy game that is ok to save/restore.
Overall I am very happy to be here and wish you all the best.
And I kneel to Pumaman, of course.

Good points, Weirdguy. I'm at a low count and no productivity though.

I've started 55 threads ever and Stupot who signed up Jan 07 has started up 53 threads. Hmm.. don't know what point I'm making there..

I've been doing mostly lurking recently.. and only became more active on here since my girlfriend left me for another man men, go figure. 

Oh, and I made one game that isn't available anymore! Maybe i'll get some webspace in the future and get it back up.

[Nikolas]

I've worked in 5 games, 4 making music, the 5th correcting voice acting. I'm also working on the 6th right now (Resonance by Vince XII) and I got today a call from someone as well (the 7th game that is).

Can't say I'm dissapointed at how things are going really in that sector! Rather happy!

[SSH]

What about that Pumaman guy. He's posted more than everyone else and still has no games out...  in fact everyone who has posted more than me has never released a full game... Gilbot, m0ds, Scummbuddy

[ManicMatt]

yeah you're right SSH! We should totally ban that guy.

[Domino]

As a want-to-be moderator, Pumaman has been banned from these forums.

[Timosity]

This will be my 1991st post in 5.5 years

and considering that this forum only dates back 2 more months anyone saying they've posted for more than that, are forgetting that it doesn't include the count from EZboards, where they were probably little shits posting heaps there anyway

I've released 2 games, a medium length and a MAGS

I've also almost completed a Full length game that I've been sitting on for over 4 years. it's funny that it was almost complete xmas 2003, I've almost considered releasing it as a demo, but it would piss people off how close you actually get to the end without finishing. If anyone remembers what I'm talking about and wants to play it, I may be able to help you out. (but I have to know you [and you have to know what game])

[Akatosh]

1,124 posts (1,125 now) in under two years, and eight released games (15 if you count demos and those I only helped with). I've got too much time, as it seems. 

[Pumaman]

Science solves everything except religion and dangerous minorities.

But that's simply not true. See:



Also, let's not forget about this:

[veryweirdguy]

Touché, Jones. However, you kinda disproved my point so I am jumping on the SSH/ManicMatt/Domino bandwagon:

[LimpingFish]

Speaks volumes...

[The Ivy]

Hmm, 337 posts in three years. Guess I'm shy online too.
