I think the intel processors have aged like fine milk. I'm guessing even PC enthusiast in 2026 will largely not recognize many of the intel monikers. I think however the motorola ones are largely iconic

Yeah I have not made an intel build for my pc friends since the i5 13400t I built.

in a little bit of time I will make my 6500 post which should bump me to a 604 number.

I think I’ve been in that 23000-24000 post range for the past 16-17 years. 😭

I’m really not far off having 25,000 posts, many of dubious quality. Something to strive for.

EDIT: This is crazy. I’m at 24921 right now. Was at 24215 around 10.5 years ago. I could have been one of the greats!

Example users of January 15, 2015:
• GGJstudios – Westmere [42,424 posts]* – is #1 user!

Yeah, it's probably time to do a title overhaul.

Just a bit of fun. Many forums would have a post count. In the past you might decide a newbies advice carried less weight than an established forum member (rightly or wrongly).

Clout. Something to put on your résumé.
