Agreed. The milestone threads are fun but there are just too many of them to sort through now.

Agreed, bandwith is just being wasted, no offence to anyone but better to have 1 or 1000 of good informative post than 100 or 3000 of trash post.

OK!!! I get the hint loud and clear!!! I wasn't knowingly trying to offend anyone w/ these posts.

I was just doing my part to recognize people's acheivements here. This kinda thing was going on long before I joined, so pardon me if I decided to partake in it.

Jeez... I learned my lesson, & I won't do it ANYMORE!!!

This is a good idea to FINALLY make a sticky on this type of thing. It's not like I'm post-whoring here!!! I simply felt this was relavant. Guess not!!!

Or another good idea is to keep all milestone to 1000 intervals like it was being done before. Because 1000 is a big milestone.

Yeah. I hope we can still do every 1000 posts.

If we can't, then I am going to feel sad.....

I dont have a problem with every 1000 posts but 100 is overkill if you ask me no offense to anyone.

I agree 1000, 2000, 3000 etc. is worth mentioning. But not 100 or even 500 really.

I think 500 is somewhat signifigant. Even at my best I think I've only mustered up about 25 posts/day. At that rate it would take 20 days to make 500 posts, so its not like someone is being congratulated every week, or every other week for that matter.

yeah... I guess!!!

I was just trying to spice things up by getting some newer members involved her in the RZ.

It looks like it back-fired on me since They didn't even acknowledge threads created for them. The 2 Anniversary threads were more to see how people responed to that.

I only really did lbMike's, because it came out during our visit, that it was his 1-yr anniversary here, so I figured it was recognition-worthy- that's all. Then Larry Jokingly mentioned his anniversary was coming up, so I did one for him too. I had no intentions of doing Anniversary Threads past those too.

The WiggyFife has learned his lesson!!!
