Saw eyedocs post and noticed my total was coming close to the same figure. Four plus years, lots of good information gained, hopefully some placed out there as well, stirred the pot a time or two to keep things interesting and just overall really enjoy the experience of AR and it's members. Thanks everyone!!

What do you win after 1000 posts? free hunt?

I'm 1 closer now.

We established this in the last thread...cake and drinks.

Congrats to you Larry-I thought you had been around longer than four years- You Freakin Over Achiever -Look forward to your next 1000

Well done Larry, great attitude. It's not about numbers, rather your contribution to AR member's.

Neil,
congrats on "100"

Dale, you get to shoot at a life size buffalo target.

Mike

It looks like we have just passed the 300,000 posts on the African Hunting Forum today too!

A Pathetic Life, since you spent that much time on the internet. Sorry, but I would rather be outside hunting and fishing, then talking about it. I am up to 931 so getting close but thats since 2002.....

Saeed - Great numbers and once again thanks for providing all of us with a place to gather and share knowledge, state our opinions, disagree with others' opinions and best of all having great fun doing all this.

SierraBravo45,

you'll need to act quick to avoid the transition from low grade obnoxious to pathetic...

Save Yourself! Leave now.

SB45 - Pathetic life, I dont' think so? Living at 8,500 feet in New Mexico's mountains, covered in Aspen and giant Ponderosa pines, having Mule Deer, Black Bear and Elk in my front yard, spening on the average of 10++ hours a day "outside" in all this splendor hardly rates as pathetic!! I actually tire of hunting and fishing and find it quite relaxing to post up here on AR from time to time. Maybe it's different when you are "lost" in Montana??

I am truly sorry for you then, I hope to never tire of hunting or fishing or being "out there".

Being "lost" in Montana for me means being out whenever I can, finding new roads, new places, new things. Sometimes that gets me lost, but its always fun.

I will admit that this board has provided me with great information and contacts. I booked a hunt through Mark after PMing him on this board, and reading his posts. I have found unmeasurable knowledge about big bores, hunting in Africa etc., as you probably have and many others too from this board and others.

I just feel that people take the 1000 post mark on boards as a symbol of outrageous knowledge, and time/experience. Boards would not survive without people providing good info. But more and more I see people (especially younger kids) spending more and more time on the 'net. Its easier for them to text than pick up the phone and talk or send an e-mail or IM to communicate over the internet, many people are more excited to turn on the computer then go fishing, hunting, or taking a hike. While communication on the net is great ways of meeting people, hearing trip reports, etc. it also takes face time away from other people, family etc. and time away from being "out among them". I feel people waste a lot of time staring at a screen, when they could be out enjoying life. If this is your way of relaxing, thats great, I just feel that people pay to much attention to whats going on online, then whats going on outside.

Rich,

Sorry, you can't get rid of me until Wednesday. Then its again 6 months in Alaska living out of a Wall Tent doing Salmon Research, then with the $$$$ I can find my way back to Africa.

Take Care and Tight Lines,

John

I'm still waiting for my cake and soda pop.

Bill - If it's up to SB45 to provide, I don't think we will see it anytime soon.

I can do Salmon Cakes. Would that work?

Works for me!!

When I mentioned I get tired of hunting and fishing that usually doesn't last for more than a day or two.

I've often thought the guy we ought to track is the guy that posts the most frequently since joining, unless he's Saeed. Administrators and Moderators can't play this game, just the normal "one of us".

For instance Larry Seller's score is .84 posts per day. I'm .79. Idaho Sharpshooter is 6.18. (Saeed's happens to be 4.39, but like I say, we have to give him an exemption, because he's "management".)

We should find the guy that "talks" the most and fire him like Donald Trump on The Apprentice. We would be doing him a favor. He obviously needs to get a life.

My guess is there is some fool out there packing a 10.0, probably on the Political thread. Let's find him and fire him.

Don't we often find, say at a social gathering, that those who talk the most have the least to say?

Kensco - Never thought of doing the math on how frequently one posts here. Shoot, I am not even posting once a day!! With all that's happening on here in a given day .84 posts a day sounds kinda puny huh?

How would we keep track of the "lurkers" out there that could be spending more time here than the posters?
