Wow! Look at all those spammers come and overtake me on the projections
*Hangs head in shame*
Never thought I would see the day I appear on one of Doctor Q's tables.
I'm in all the "______ place is dropping" observations. Is it a cause for celebration?
It says I currently post around 2.5 posts/day, but I actually thought it was more!

It's funny, because I have posted stuff I KNOW may be deleted.
One time, I even reported my own post to the mods immediately after I posted it. It wasn't that long ago.

No, but I guess that would have made more sense!
But just in case the world doesn't end in 2012, the end-of-time table will come in handy.
Staying power is the hard part. Besides actual quality posts.Wow! Look at all those spammers come and overtake me on the projections
Congrats to the new $P@MM3R5 who made the cut.
Thanks BV!
I sure do miss seeing your posts (and wonderful Avatar) around these parts.

I remember seeing Doctor Q's first list in 2003 and wondering if I would ever get on it. I guess the answer to that is a resounding "NO".
If anything, this list reminds me to take a look at the date a member joined before flaming them, to remember some of the folks we don't see around here much any more (including myself), and to remind myself that I really need to get back to work before I do end up on this list...

Perhaps you should add the 2112 table, just in case.
I went up a notch. And here I thought I was posting less.
Same here.
Well, I guess this just confirms my awesomeness.
A fun read, thanks again Doctor Q.

Didn't we have a blast?
Those years were the best of times, the golden age of MacRumors according to many.
You just gotta read between the lines, put your ear to the ground, listen closely, think it through and ask yourselves why retired moderators don't hang around. With nothing left to achieve, the changes in forum demographics and ensuing conversations, the same old circular discussions and people who I trusted to the end, but have so bitterly (and assuredly mutually) soured on, I've made a deliberate distancing effort to move on to more interesting, rewarding and richer encounters in my life, ones that make a direct difference to the community around me.
4th of July: Independence Day in more ways than one.
Better and far happier in real life, I need to see people's faces, to hear their voices, to look them in the eye. Forum life when indulged in, is rife with greasy pole climbers, hidden meanings, secret messages, mealy-mouthed words, gossips, intangible relationships and incomplete, inadequate sentiments. At worst, familiarity breeds contempt. The world clique is ersatz, stale.
You'll see me occasionally from time to time, but not the old avatar. As long as I'm using Apple products, it's a place I'll sporadically check into when something screws up or money has to be to be spent.
Hanging out here over seven years has led to some extraordinary encounters in the real world; there is no-one on this board who has gone out of their way to meet as many forum members as I have, but you can't stash lightning in a bottle for too long. Those days have definitely passed and those who want to find me, will... but whether you're welcome, depends on many things still unsaid. Talk to me first.
I'll see you all here and there... when it's needed and solely on my own terms. What is rare, is valuable.
Except for gonorrhoea...
I wonder if newer members ask themselves why old members with over 15k posts just leave. Some do for personal (read: "real life") reasons, of course, but there are a large contingent that don't.
And being a Demi wasn't worth it anymore once certain people stopped posting. It was like a little club. That includes Blue Velvet.
@Surely: Actually, you only make 6 posts/day, but for Doctor Q, it feels like 12.3 posts/day.
I don't even see you in other forums. You're the guy in the NHL thread.
If MRoogle didn't exist, some people wouldn't have any posts at all.

rdowns said:Yes, nothing says quality posts like a daily post average over 25.
