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).
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!
1684 in just under four years.
Now it's 1685.
A landmark to how much useless muck I can type.
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? ;D
3164 in six and a half years.
Nothing like Grundy. That's impressive.
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:

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.

In almost 5 years...no games made yet. :'(

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.
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! ;D Rather happy!
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
yeah you're right SSH! We should totally ban that guy.
As a want-to-be moderator, Pumaman has been banned from these forums.
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])
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. :=

But that's simply not true. See:

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

Speaks volumes...
Hmm, 337 posts in three years. Guess I'm shy online too. :P
2919 in 7 years. Whoa.

as already mentioned this particualr forum dates back just over 5.5 years
another smart guy hey :P
Hehe, post coutn means nothing, obviously shown by the fact that I'm never ultra active here but mysteriously getting high post coutn. :=
i'm actually quite active(i'm posting useless posts) which are about 1029 at the moment i'm posting this but will end up more by the end of the day.
Well obviously my soon to be 2000 post count only consists of posts that make your games better in a constructive vitalising sense. Hence my lack of time for producing my own games. You guys owe me a lot more than you know. Also, I do have 7 unfinished projects with paskakasoittain sprites and stuff made for them.
I ran several simulations, but this it the only correct awnser I could put in a graph.

82 posts, started 3 years and a couple months ago which makes a total of .. 0.068 per day. Then again, who actually knows me here? :P
337 (0.520 per day), joined 6th of July 2006.
I guess that is OK, but it would be much more OK to post much more OK posts, I guess.
Im OKed out.
I read much more than I post.
I don't even know how many posts I have... but I gave up worrying about my post counts on forums years ago. I just try to make my posts COUNT. In some small way.
Bt
It's my 369th post.
Also, apparently it's my 1000th day in Sodom on the AGS forums. Woo hoo, guys!
2472 (1.438 per day)
Now 2473. Such glory. I've noticed a serious lack of content in my posts. Oh well.
Apparently this is my 401st post (in nearly five years, so without further proof I assert that I am even more productive than Grundislav), so my timing in finding this thread sucked.
Nearly 400 posts in less than two months. This depresses me...

Howzat eh?
With regards,

Congrats! Lots of f***ing text!!!
I passed 5000 the other day and was going to post my 5000th here but I was too ADHD to remember.
OH WELL YAY 5000 USELESS ROOMS I MEAN POSTS

Lots of people if you take "beat" as "have a lower number than" ;)
Wow, I was a God for 10 minutes. Thanks SSH go kill my dreams.
I think I got like 2000 posts on the old ezboard forum 5 years ago. In just a matter of months..... People thought I was a freak.
Do you remember the old ez-boards titles? I think only Helm reached the "fountain of knowledge" title, with 5k posts or whatever it was...ah, fun times
Ooooh, that was supposed to be KNOWLEDGE coming out of that fountain?
I've been n sporadically active member this community since I was twelve.
Scary.
And still no proper games. Bugger.
I was lurking on these forums years before I finally registered in 2006. I'm a daily reader, but don't post much, so this should mean it's my 107th post. No games yet neither.
476 in 3yrs
yet again another shy onliner (i dunno why im not here alot )
I don't know if he knows it but if he says anything else it won't be the case, but MrColossal is on 4444 posts!!!
That's a lot of 4's!

Just wrote my post no. 2008. Unless I only post once a year from now on, my number of posts will never be the same as the current year again.
...Oops, too late, this is no. 2009. Well, I guess I can continue at my regular pace then. ;D
1132 and I haven't been here in a year. Guess I used to spam when I was a kid.
500th post! (Coincidentally. I actually started reading this thread before I noticed that...)

Go for quality, not quantity, like me! On 2.431/day ::)
I'm having a 2.124 per day, that's quality.
I just noticed I have 2999 so I took a decision where to use my 3000 post on, and well this was the place. Doing something I did on my first post (breaking the rules)
