No need to link.... just scroll to post #6 in this thread, by Doctor Q.

Wow you guys are post freaks. It took me 8 months.

 

[TEG]

1 year, 8 months, 1 day
608 Days.

I'm a slower poster when I'm not working, as otherwise I can't sit at the computer for hours. When working though, I can get on here, answer questions and otherwise help out while I'm waiting for programs to compile.

I've been a member since early 2002 and it must have taken me 2 or 3 years to get an avatar. I'm pretty slow 🙂

 

[soberbrain]

~ 3 months

It kept me busy during the summer lull at work.

 

[Apple Ink]

About 5 months.
About 3 hours....

P.S.: I have all my major no.s like 100th, 500th etc tagged!

And what a great avatar you came up with. I love the subtlety of the animation.

Hmm. From Oct 13 2007 to... right now. Yay! 500 posts 😀
And what a suitable thread for that 🙂

Congrats!!!

Ahem, check my edited post on page one, you slackers.

Oh, I'm retired, which helps. 😛

thanks! SwiftLives was awesome enough to add in the animation for me, and iBlue helped me get it all nice and transparent too.

It's taken me over 4 years. And i still don't have 500 🙄.

I hope to get one before the end of the year.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

360 days here, thoughtful and insightful posts the lot of them. No, really. 😱

 

[NightGeometry]

I still don't have an avatar 🙂

 

[Elven]

I still don't have an avatar 🙂

Nor me but working on it 😀

 

[iToaster]

It took me about 4 months and 18 days to reach 500 posts. Certainly not the fastest rack up of posts, but I don't think it's too bad.

 

[WildCowboy]

Just a few days over a year for me to reach 500.

I picked up the pace after that. 🙂

I tend to refrain from posting too much through, usually when I can help people out rather than in news items.

I think there should be a rating system for users, other users can rate you on how helpful you've been to other users and that contributes to your profile on way or another…just an idea.
Something to reward those who try to help others rather than post 100s of 6 word responses for news items every day and to increase incentive for posting helpful responses.

I second that motion.

 

[Dejavu]

at my rate... in about four years. 😀

 

[iJohnHenry]

Commendable, but that requires very active moderation.

As the crew here are all volunteers, I think that is unreasonable.

But, for the record, I believe 4 years in "isolation" is a trifle harsh.

 

[Gray-Wolf]

Some people like to be active, beyond just reading the posts. No harm in that. Participation, makes for good conversation.

Took me about 6 or so months to get me an avatar.

I uploaded an avatar as soon as I reached 500, and I've used the same avatar since 🙂

 

[d_and_n5000]

Two and a half years.

I'm not exactly a prolific poster.

I actually haven't posted in weeks...😱
