I have  just noticed that my time logged here is going on for 7 days 19 hours.

I also note that I have somehow become a Lieutenant Colonel

When I think back to my first job, I was still making the tea after 8 days, so I consider my rise here as almost meteoric.

Wiki says that I can typically expect to command a battalion, so at last can be represented on the board in say a Black Powder game, yes, I can see it, Battalion Commander in the Old Guard. 

Thanks Pendraken for running a great forum, that is a pleasant place to roam.

Congrats on the promotion.

I echo the sentiment about this forum.

Shall we have three 'huzzahs' or a double whisky?

My life's gaming experience would have been much less enjoyable without this company.

Congrats, Norm....  :-bd

I think you're next promotion will come after a thousand posts....So you've not got TOO far to go. :)

Congrats, Norm. This prompted me to look at my own stats. Whilst more than 2/3rds of my posts are hobby related, almost one third of my posts are in the 'Chat & News' and 'Fun Stuff' sections - a stat that, in addition to the pleasant demeanour of the members (most of the time  :P ), epitomises for me the reasons why this forum stands out above all others and makes it an enjoyable place to visit. 
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Compared to you, Mike....The amount of time I've spent on the forum is quite low (Not quite 80 days)

For someone who wasn't going to join the forum...I've spouted an awful lot of garbage.
Only Will (Mad Lammey) has posted more often than yours truly...

The pair of us are quite a bit in front of the 'Dark Lord'. ;)

I was trying to keep up with lemmey and Techno but I've given up now.  I'm going to focus on quality rather than quantity...!   :P :D
