The software for this forum only allows one person to post 9000 times. After that, the software rejects all further attempt to post messages.

Wouter's getting close. Wouter's screwed! Poor Wouter!

Don't forget about Jake.

He has been in the hunt for a good time now. I haven't been posting nearly as much in the last two years as I used to.

I figure Jake will beat me to the 10.000 mark.

haven't looked in a while...where am I? (I've been slowing down here too though as work is getting increasingly busy).


shoot...you're nearly a thousand ahead of me still...let me know how that limit works out (who says there is a limit and why?)

Well the ranking thus far is :

1st Wouter 8952 (soon to be 8953 !)
2nd Jake 8020
3rd Mary 5446
4th Rolf 3935
5th Timbo 3509
6th Fin 3348
7th Scooby Simon 3224
8th MauganN20 3114
9th Hobie1616 2838
10th Robi 2672

Obviously it is a lonely duel at the top Jake !

I don't see Mary put in a 5000 posts before either you or I reach the big 10000.

Personally I don't think there is a physical limit; just a mental one.


Interesting mix by the way !

5 current or former F16 sailors (Robi = F18 now)
2 current or former F18 sailors (Jake = A-cat now)
2 current or former N20 sailors (Jake = still A-cat)
1 A-cat sailor
1 wave sailor
1 Hobie 16 sailor


I don't know what FIN sails.

All good fun,

Wouter

You should probably add my old and new accounts to the mix.

Actually, I don't think 1616 has a 16. He had another Hobie last I knew. Things change though.

You are correct sir. It's the 20 you sold me.

What's retail on Waves these days?

15,000 posts at 1 minute a post wasted about 10.4 days of someone's life. I just wasted about 5 minutes of my life typing this. At that rate I'll have wasted 52 days of my life when I reach 15,000 posts. grin

OK, If you’re ahead of the forum owner, you might just spend too much time online…

Way to go Wout! Successfully infested another thread with your F16 dribble. I wouldn't call that "interesting," just "predictable..." smirk

EDIT: While I agree with you Jeremy, we're all doing it!!! frown

Wouter:
You are dweedling away your final postings! You should only be posting profound thoughts. Each one should be more profound than the last. Post #9000 should be what gets engraved on your tombstone.

I think quite a few hours were spend behind the computer designing DOGzilla and CHEESEzilla (If not Hydropthere, Orange and Alpha)

I would think not having those projects would be really missed as well.

With respect to time spend on the forum. This grew the cat scene and created a few new fleets and classes. Also very valuable to the larger sailing scene.

Hey Tony,

Frozen water (or frozen beach) is not a good reason to stop sailing ! As you know.
