I got promoted to my current 'rank' at 1500 posts. I think my next jump is 3000 posts. Can't remember what my post count was for previous steps.

It's either 750 or 1000, it does increase in-crime-mentally after the early ranks!

I'd best write something then to qualify this post.

And post a pointless picture, too

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/36/Pointless.jpg)

And for the sake of covering all bases, talk the 10mil Pendraken hobby.

Is there going to be a Painting Competition next year? I'm not interested in prizes, if that's one of the issues.

Squirrel, you are on a good trajectory to make major well before Halloween.  I'm logged-in at over 28 days but thinks it's because I often forget to close the browser on my iPad, which hangs on to everything except my fingerprints and wireless login (which is dang inconvenient).

Thanks for that Techno.

A top 10 posts per day would be interesting. Not sure it means anything significant but like Roy I am intrigued by these sorts of odd stats.

We need an

(hours logged on)/ (hours been a member)

metric to identify the slackers like me lurking around the forum all day. Also we need to institute a weekly global disconnect so I can become the 5th most indolent forum member :)

My own posting total and average is

5252 (3.330 per day)

Oh d_Guy, you fell into the most rudimentary of mistakes. There is no 15:22 from King's Cross to Aberdeen. It leaves on the hour.

The Train Manager on the 15:00 does not wear socks, but prefers black silk hold ups. His name is Norman.

Yes, you will become a Major General before Boxing Day, but I am not prepared to specify in which year.

Blimey, Techno and his arch-nemesis Duckman. It's like watching Batman and the Joker isn't it?

Without the violent death and nerve gas.

"You again Duckman! I thought I threw you off the Naked Tony Tower!"
"No, that was FSN in the Pendrakenmas drivel!"
"What do you want?"
"Same thing as always, for Pendraken to produce a range of heroic Duckmen - that's not a canard."
"It's not for canard that I work!"
"I know, I've seen your production rate! Are we ever going to see some Korean Chinese? ... say from Peking?"
"From Peking."
"No. I meant 'say' as in 'for example', not 'say' as in 'repeat after me'."
"Oh sorry."
"Why are you my arch-foe?"
"What's your nefarious scheme this time, Duckman?"
"'Nefarious'? Have you been reading Reader's Digest again?"
"Stop cracking yolks, Duckman, eider tell me what you want or waddle off"
"I've told you. I want a range of Pendraken Duckmen, and you won't stop getting medical supplies until I do!"
"You fiend!"
"But that's only one wing of my plan. Westmarcher enjoyed his little nocturnal visit didn't he? It's amazing what you can do with a feather pillow and a little bit of imagination"
"You fiend!"
"You're repeating yourself, which shows a certain lack of flair."
"You ...f ... fi ... you Oik!"
"That stings, it really does. You have to ask yourself, who's next? Who's going to pay the bill for my intransigence?"
"Who's next.? Who's going to pay the bill for my inter ... intor ..."
"Intransigence. Readers Digest, March 1984 edition. Look it up!"
