The 10,000 club

[1/28/01]

No need to thank me. You're welcome.

Yeah, I typed it. Looked at it. Got a beer. Looked at it again. Hit post. Drank beer. Was corrected.

[display name]

Wait a second.....you're not even at 10,000 posts yet..

GETOUT NOOB

True but I've been on the boards for longer. Watch your attitude CHILD.

YOU..SHALL..NOT.. POST!

[cursona pirate]

I'm starting to think there is nothing special about The 10,000 Club.  At 5,000, I was told you could change your title and that feature has since been removed.

 

Now, I'm being told there are "secrets" revealed when you reach 10,000...

 

...please Daddy, can I have just one more story before bed?

 

With a little more effort, I could be part of this club telling ninnies like me to keep out by the end of the regular season.  I need to go take some more SAM vitamins.

There are many secrets. Some are better left untold.

No that I'm advocating it but could the mods theoretically close a thread to members with less than a certain number of posts?

We have taken this request to a few mod meetings and the BigWigs, aka the admins, one who is the VP of digital media, feel it could be divisive and would like quality vs quantity of posts .

Lets start with a hypothetical forum and posters- we have Arnie and ERIG who have been around, put in their dues aka time and got to the magical 13500 posts. Both very active in the draft did it the right,way. Not picking on ya bud but you do live on this board stealth or not so stealth, SAM who is on here 24/7 not sure he sleeps lol so he gets in 6 months, his idea of a post is 2 words in the DT, pics of cats in the OT forum and 1 or 2 paragraphs in the draft a team game but likes meme's, quoting memes to the point it takes the thread 30 seconds to open. Then there is Squirtle who makes 300 posts in the in the test forum to get his post count up and deletes them, does the same thing in the forums and he gets in the special forum in 6 weeks.

All is going well until SAM makes coy comments to Squirtle in Ravens talk, someone else eludes to another thread and it turns into the "haves" and the "have not yets" and becomes a mess

So, that's a no?

Correct! I will bring it up again, don't expect a change.

It's almost like you guys don't enjoy ribbing the people that wander in here with their tiny post counts.

1. I'm an insomniac by nature. So even when I'm not on I don't sleep(should probably see a doctor about that)

2. True, but you have to admit I've cooled down a bit....  I mean a lot. It's not every 20 seconds anymore. It's still a lot compared to everyone else but It's not nearly as bad.

3. Not offended, I would go slap my past self in the face if I could. So I'll acknowledge that I needed to get a life(/ still do). So I kind've agree with you here.

4. Most of my posts now go into the DAF game.... So I'm somewhat reasonable. 

[cursona pirate]

But imagine…. we can talk so many secrets and drama about the young ones.

It wouldn't be a free for all, the mods would still enforce the rules.  I just don't see the point.

It's really the only reason I come here.

So its SAM's fault

You're barely halfway to 10k. Get out. I said GET OUT!

[Moderator 2]

Nah SAM is a good guy, and I knew he would take it as the joke it is/was. I couldn't think of anyone with a ginormous post count and the ability to take a joke -add another 1572 posts to my post count and Yikes!!!! That's a bunch of posts.

So what you're saying is that me and ER can't take jokes, eh?

Damn PU that is a healthy post count, honestly I never thought of you.

There would be a lot more members of the 10k (and even 20k/30k) club if all those regular posters from 2007/2008 stuck around.  Neepo, MKDave, Franchise, Jon, etc.  

 

Seems like a lot of posters disappear forever after a few years of healthy posting.   My posting has died down, but I've stuck around (cause I have no where else to go). 

 

I wouldn't be surprised if SAM disappears one day.  Gets older, Meets a girl, he's out of state, the Ravens suck, and one day *poof*.

I'm guessing he's going to pass you in post count before that happens.  I bet he has more posts next season than Flacco has passing yards.

I got jokes

Considering he's done what 6K per year that's an easy statement to agree with

Reminded me of 'Good Will Hunting'.

Franchise is still a reserve mod. Neepo If I Remember correctly got disgusted with he who should not be named and never came back even though he is banned for life, there was a rumor Jon is a Steeler fan and MKDave I have not a clue.

I am the Admin on one site,( no else one is stupid enough to it) I used to do stuff for RSR , love a few people but the ads and posters and my dyslexia make me stay away. Things have changed for me, I now have a real little one his 4th BD is today, so here I stay. One thing I have noticed about Ravens Fans they tend to find a 'home' and stay put, even if I was not a mod I would stay here. I am one of the first 50 posters on my original name.
