It only took 370 days, but I’ve finally hit post #5000.

I’ll summon a few active posters (and ex-posters) who might be interested:

mrfe :
legacyme3 :
tgags123 :
mohammedroxx3 :
IgorBird122 :
Barathemos :
Razor-987 :
Singelli :
zanderlex :
thing1 :
Davideo7 :
vanelan :
PacmanandMariofan :
megamanmaniac :

I’ll be the 32nd person to hit this milestone. I expect mrfe will be the 33rd (haha! =P). We were actually planning to hit 5000 together… a month ago. I think our willpower to do that died after one day of spreeing

That said, this wasn’t my slowest 1000 posts. My posting actually started to get faster.

0001-1000 - 18 days
1001-2000 - 1 month 5 days
2001-3000 - 2 months 5 days
3001-4000 - 4 months 30 days
4001-5000 - 3 months 8 days

Based on my average activity, I expect to hit 6000 sometime in March.

A large part of what appeared to be a slowdown in my posting actually has to do with the fact that I don’t only spent time on the forums. In fact, as the months went by my time on here got increasingly divided between the chatrooms, the minecraft server, and the RGR as well. I love the forums, but now I love the other parts of the site just as much. It’s interesting how things turned out.

I’ve also managed to accrue a post rating of 775 (as of writing this). I always hope that my posts (long or short) are readable, and helpful in some way. Overall, it’s nice to see that they are enjoyed, so I hope to keep posting for many months to come.

I’ll leave you with my thoughts on a few other statistics:
- I currently average 13.48 posts a day.
This still might be slightly inflated. I think I average around 12 posts/day on most days. That usually takes on the order of 1-2 hours, sometimes more.
- I average 70 words per post.
This leaves me with around 350,000~ post exp after this post. It’s a neat that it’s recorded, but I don’t really think about it that much, and it plays no role in how long my posts are.
- I have 148 threads
I need to start making more threads.

As far as future goals go, I hope to hit 20K CP this month, and then 500,000 exp later this year.

I have a few extra cans of Vizzed Soda left over from New Years and my 1 years if anyone still wants some.

Ha I have more posts per day somehow...

Nice job it ting 5,000, something I hit a while ago lol

Try and catch me eh?

Let me tell you, posting only gets harder.

But still, congrats on even getting this far. I still haven't won a tdv, been staff or any of that, so you've actually accomplished more then me.

Wonderful 5,000.

You hit 5,000 just a few days after me hitting 4,000. I really hope you can keep posting. You're a very helpful poster and your posting alone is so much contribution to the site.

awwww, I can't believe I got summoned to an EM thread! I feel so special!  *fuzzy warm warn fuzzy*

Congrats on 5,000 posts... that's incredible! Especially since you did it in hardly over a year.  I especially love that you did it with quality posts which were full of wisdom. I probably didn't agree with EVERYTHING you posted (though I can't think of a case where I disagreed) but I think most notable is how you show respect to EVERYONE.  I have never once seen you post something out of spite or showing disrespect to someone, and I Think that's humongous commendable.  Thanks for being such a great person, and for adding something valuable to vizzed!

I hope we get another 5,000 from you soon!

The amount of time that it took you to reach your goals... I thought you had been here longer than 3 months. 

Congrats man. 

No passing me though. That can not be allowed. 

Not bad on making it this far in such a short amount of time, just a week over a year. Hopefully you can get to 10,000 posts by the end of this year if you really put in the effort.

Congrats on 5k man! Glad to see that you are still active and going strong! Great job!

"0001-1000 - 18 days" Holy

Anyway....

Stop hitting milestones so fast! It's not fair! I need to start being active again to stay ahead of you in posts lol. You've passed me in everything else already. Congrats on 5K man! Here's to 5K more! *Raises Vizzed Soda*

Congrats EM.
I think tgags pretty much summed up what I was thinking as well in that first line.

Congrats. I will be hitting 2 milestones soon as well (10,000 posts and 5 years active).

If you get to 15,000 before me, I am going to have to ask you a certain question: 

Image upload: 160x212 totaling 7 KB's.

EideticMemory : Well well, This is quite an accomplishment, you have reached 5,000 post. Nice work EM.

Congrats on 5,000 posts! That milestone is more than a mile away for me, but you broke that one with amazing speed! It's just insane. I would ask thing's question, but not for beating him to 15k, but for reaching the one you reached. 

Are you a Wizard? 

EideticMemory : Congrats on making it this far, EM! Wow, 5K post is a big Milestone! You make many quality posts, so keep posting! Good Luck with the 6K post in March . You're a helpful member in this site, so don't give up! *Grabs Viz Soda* yay :3.

Congrats on 5000 posts, sir! It will probably be a good while before I can get there XD I think I'm almost at 900 right now, and my goal is to get to 1000 hopfeully before this TdV is over. Like IgorBird, my job and my lifestyle ( both bowling ) has kept me from being any more active. I'm kind of embarrassed a little by how long its taking me to get there.

Anyways, congratulations again and keep up the good work!

Congrats breh! I still have a bit to go before I even reach 1k posts! But I am rooting for you to overthrow thing1 in terms of posts. C'mon!

Congrats on reaching 5k posts in such a little amount of time (and sorry for not noticing the summon. I just checked my notifications for the first time in a couple of days). I'm sure you'll reach 10k in about 370 days.

congrats. It's a big milestone to hit 5,000 posts on any forum. Takes dedication.

Now you can boss around those that have fewer than 5000 posts.

Dang, congrats on 5k! As many have said, you're one of the few posters I always know will post high-quality posts, and that's something to be respected. You've gained an amazing reputation here already, in just a year, and that will undoubtedly continue on through the years to come!

I agree, you should make more threads. :v :p

I have to be next to hit 5k? Look at all the active users that are closer than me! D: http://gyazo.com/41bba7eafaa6dfc003685d9ca0f9be81 I'll never make it!

Congrats again! It's an honor to consider myself your friend!

Darn, you have reached it before me! I have to catch up with you now D:

Just kidding, congrats EM! That you have reached in a little more than one year is amazing, if you were around as long as I am at the moment you would be close to 24,000-25,000!

It's not only really cool that you have reached so much, but also very cool that you are known for your good posts since you are very detailed and you use good grammar and spelling. It's really hard to make so many good posts, and one needs a lot of time for that! 

Keep up the good posts!
