Title: Go Ghoste! T minus 82 posts and counting to the big 10k!
Post by: bull on January 08, 2008, 07:16:38 AM
As of now our old buddy Ghoste has been credited with 9,918 posts or an average of 10.983 posts per day since he registered the same day I did a little over 2 1/2 years ago (still a lower average PPD than Bronzy). :o Only 82 to go, brother, and you'll be crowned the post master general of dc.com! Shouldn't he get a door prize or something, like the millionth customer at the sporting goods store? Or instead of "Old Timer" he should be called "Jedi" or something. I guess "Ghoste" is pretty apropos since that's kind of the next step beyond Old Timer. :2thumbs:

You know, I got you and Ghoste mixed up for the longest time... for obvious reasons. Eventually you added "The" to your username and that helped and now that you have something like an 8,200 post-count deficit the difference is even more striking. It's like when you spend enough time with twins you can eventually tell them apart. :icon_smile_big:

True, but at 11.481 posts per day he's coming on strong. I could be wrong but I bet Cody has the highest post per day average on this site.

At current pace I think that cody will pass him in about 2 1/2 years.


Then again it seems that when Ghoste gets a vacation, he tends to pop up those post counts as well.


Who am  I to talk though. I probably post about 5-6 times day, but that number goes to 15-20 if I'm off of work for the day.

Actually I never even though about putting a photo of my car as an avatar, or anywhere on here. Guess if I wanted to look at it that much I'd just go to the garage. I'd rather look at other people's cars than mine anyways.

Ah, but avatars aren't for you, they're for the other people who want to see your car. ;)


Besides, I don't think I've ever seen your car.  I'd look through the members rides thread, but my computer tends to crash everytime I try.

just a suggestion...

I was trying to think of some sort of clever comeback to post up here but as it turns out, I'm not very clever so I've decided not to post in this thread because that would just be blatant post whoring and besides, it just be giving Bronzy another excuse to throw a smiley post or some equally silly thing up and pad his count.
Oh, who the hell am I kidding?  Clearly after 9900 posts and three months of my life wasted on here there is no way I can resist is there?
BTW, Danny and James pretty much nailed it and I have no defense for either of you.  I will add that I very rarely watch television.

I think when you decided to get rid of your Neon and get to work on a real car you started to take this site much more seriously. Now look at you. Still very young and on what, your third mopar??

Now we have to get Cody into those school books so he can start to produce.

Side note for Cody:  Just bekuz yer skuul is clozzd up 4 a da duznt meen U shud nott lern. No exqussess...
I think if you were graded on posting smiley's you would be at the top of your class.

He's sort of the A-Rod of posting. Eventually Cody will pass Ghoste, much like A-Rod will pass Bonds...sooner or later.  :P

ps- I thought Bronzy was home schooled? If not, where does he find the time to avg. almost 12 posts per day (and that includes days you do not post)? I am sort of proud I average under 2 a day.  ;)

pss- Bull, don't feel bad about 3rd place. As far as thread starters are concerned, you're tops with me.  :bow:

Well you have posted 14 times since 12:00 AM. and there is still plenty of time today. I bet you hit 10,000 by new years eve 2009'.   Well,,,, that's if we don't take the smiley's away from you before hand.......

If he discovered girls he wouldn't have time to post 4,000+ times in a year.

Are you kidding when you said that you have 3 months on here ghoste? I thought I was on the board a lot, and I have 15 days 1 hour and 12 minutes logged on. I'm no where near 3 months worth of log on time.

I take pride in being considered a geek, always have, and probably always will. Then again my meer 4,800 post don't even compare to 9,900. I think the list should only show the top 5 as to not embarass those that aren't even over 6,000 yet.

jobs are over rated anyways. I have one, and it doesn't pay enough to get the real toys that I want. That or I just have expensive taste.

Most disastrous story about my car would have to be when it got stolen brickwall

Roll Eyes You know I love ya man.... but the "stolen" story is somewhat fictitious if I recall. Didn't your dad take it to his house ??/ Or something like that??  shruggy

Nope. Honestly, I said that because my mom didn't want me saying that it got stolen but shes fine with it now. It did actually get stolen

Curtis, that is gonna be one wicked ride. If you were to do a stripe, what colour(s) do you have in mind?

If I do a Bumble Bee stripe I'll most likely go with silver. I might consider black too for more of a subtle look. shruggy



Excellent decision! I'm doing my '69 silver with a black stripe. If I were to get another 2nd Gen., I'd do black with a silver stripe drool5

I dont know what you're getting to :popcrn: :shruggy:

I'm gonna guess here, just going out on a limb and Steve, feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but I am thinking that the message that is trying to be conveyed to you is that you need to slow down, take a breath and think about what you want to post about, before you post it.

It should be about the quality of posts, not the quantity.  Now, don't get me wrong, I also have numerous meaningless posts that use up precious bandwith but I try to even it out by adding some worth, at least that is my intent.

Look at it this way:

Picture yourself in the hallway at high school and it's 10:30 AM and the next class starts in 10 minutes.  The hallway is a flurry of activity, students getting their books out, getting ready for class, girls touching up their make-up, some of the boys joking and laughing about nothing in particular.  All the while, there are numerous, brief and to the point conversations going on amongst all of the students in the hallway.  Groups of three to four students chatting quickly before they need to make their way to the next class.

Then out of nowhere, a girl shrieks "look out - Cody's coming" and like a Tasmanian Devil, you start swirling through the hallway, spinning around bumping into people, stopping at each and every group of students to add a comment to their conversation. 

Two guys are talking about a movie they saw on the weekend, you stop by and add you're  :Twocents:  to the discussion.  Across the hall are two chicks who are chatting about the science class they just had, you pop into their conversation and add nothing but a :drool5: at the sight of their tight sweaters.  Then it's on to the next conversation, three lockers down, and so on and so on and so on.

It's really OK to stop into each conversation, or as is the case here, each thread - but don't feel you need to.  If you must, think about what you want to add to the conversation and make a valid point.  We all know you're here and we're glad to have you so you don't need to remind us every hour on the hour.

Don't get discouraged, no ones trying to run you off the board, just cool down a bit and think before you start hammering away on the keyboard.

Shakey,

You had me locked into reading your post.  I was hooked, but you left me hanging. What movie did the 2 guys see, and did both of the girls have the tight sweaters or just 1 of the girls? Minor details I know, but.......................


Ah who am I kidding.



Ghoste HURRY up and get to 10,000 already. I wanna know if there are fireworks or some kind of a new glossy display that will pop up under all of your post at that time. Then when you get to 10,001 they will all fizzle out, and all that will be left is a cloud of dust.

I think your goal should be to hit 100,000 I mean why not aim high and shoot for 1,000,000
I forget what board I was on the other day but I saw a member that had something crazy like 145,000 post, and I was thinking to myself. Does this person have a life at all outside of this board? I don't know how long that board had been up and running, but I'm going to have to say NO they don't. I think that I post on here way too much as it is, but it does put a smile on my face to know that I haven't been on here as much as some people. Granted I am always excited to get home from work and log on for my typical 25-40 minutes and catch up on everything I missed.

You probably know this but some people adjust their birthdate so it matches a specific engine size. For example, if today was your birthday you'd enter your birth year as 1625 to show your age as 383. Chryco either forgot to adjust it or he is now a fan of that early '60s Ford or Chevy big block.

BTW, only five more posts. I think it's going to be just like Y2K, a bunch of hype followed by the sound of crickets.

Post by: 69_500 on January 13, 2008, 12:38:22 PM
Yeah I knew that you could adjust the year to come up with an age relating to an engine. Just think he needs to go back and update it again so that it goes back to the HEMI reading rather than the SOHC.

OH and man last night Ghoste was still 9 away, I get up this morning and check and he is 10 over. What happened in the span of 7 hours?

HEY!!!! MY POST HERE DISSAPEARED!!! IT WAS BETWEEN BULL'S AND 69 500'S! WTF!!! :shruggy:


(probably just another smiley post)

that it wasnt!

I'm gonna guess here that the some of the folks in charge have decided to start deleting posts that are tottally irrelevant, make no sense or are something they see as something that was posted to simply increase ones post count.  Just guessing.   :shruggy:

I guess you'll need to ask yourself before posting as to whether or not you think the mods might delete your post.  Think of these questions as you ponder whether or not to click on the reply or quote links on your monitor.

Is what I am about to type relevant to the thread? 
Will it make sense? 
Will I have to explain it to anyone? 
If none of the above, is at least funny or a feeble attempt at being funny?
Am I just trying to increase my post count so I can one day tell all of my friends and family that I have the most posts on DC.com? 

If you do this before you're finger start typing poking the keys, you'll probably save yourself a lot of time and hassles and with all of this saved time, one day you might find yourself with a Charger that is road worthy or perhaps even a girlfriend.   :scratchchin:

As mentioned earlier, I'm just guessing.

Shakey if he gets a girlfriend we all know the work on the Charger will come to a halt.  So, Cody, keep working on your Charger and get a part time job to pay for Charger parts.  If you go out with a girl on a date make sure she pays for herself.   :2thumbs:

Wow look at Paul, offering advice on dating to the young Cody. I"m not sure you want to take advice from a man, who gets a woman pregant every time he looks at her.  :slap: Hey Paul, that Charger 500 doesn't have room for 4 baby seats in the back. :cheers:


Okay so who am I to protest to him saying you should go Dutch on dates? No one, heck me and the wife have been trying for a while now for that second kid. I wanna be just like paul and fill  back seat full of kids.

 :smilielol: Thats gonna leave a mark. Although Paul, thats one thing I've thought about...I'd spend all my money on her and not the Charger. My main goal is to finish the Charger :yesnod:

Cody, your MAIN goal SHOULD be to get the best education you can. Cars come later. So do girls....

I agree.  I fucked up and went girls, cars, THEN education.  Now I'm broke, with no college degree (which I'll fix someday, once I can afford tuition).

If post are dissapearing without our knowledge... could that actually be a good thing??  I haven't seen a lot of totally stupid or RUDE posts in quite a while. In fact,  its really been a whole lot better once the extra mods came along.....and I'm really not trying to kiss ass (....that much).;)

My point is.....if somebody posts a dumb, rude, or irrelevant comment - - (even me  :smilielol: ) - then delete it.   I don't want to read all that B.S anymore. 

I would even say - - - (goin' on a limb here.....) that this place has been better without it.  :Twocents:
