And no end in sight...

Approaching the five year mark on the forums, I can truly say this has been the best forum I've ever been a part of. The people on here make this place priceless.

We've come a long way in five years... I remember when the fastest SRT on here was a 12.79...

Now we have V-8s, SRT's sitting comfy in the 11's, and the N/A cars now have hope of one day tickling the 12's with the advent of a turbo kit, still in the making.

It's been a fun ride, a ride that shall continue to be a blast.

Next stop, 10,000 posts!

 

You being here makes this a better place John. Congrats!

4,000 posts.
Pffft!
(note to self, get post count up before the kid passes me up!)

 

I too have enjoyed your input and fellowship to the forum John ,



Howard.

 

Congrats on the milestone John. I have been here a little over four years now and amazed how far we have come understanding these cars and improving them. One of the most intresting things that doesn't get mentioned very much is that the book value of our cars has gone up in the last year or so.

 

John, you need to talk a lot more to catch up with Valk...he's on a run...lol... Always nice to talk to you...

 

Let's see, I have been a member for over 5 years and just over 2000 posts. But, I have logged 20k hours on the forum. LOL

 

This proves that unlike some of us you know to keep quiet when it's best.

 

I am not so sure of that but, I do try and stay out of most of the squabbles that jump up and are of no consequence. I usually keep my post short and to the point. That way I don't have hear some tell me my grammer is poor or my writting is
incoherent....ect ect.

ps. Congrats on your 4000 plus posts.

 

As you have 6,000+ posts... buahahahaha



No way I'm catching Valky, LOL.

 

Is that an arbitrary number you came up with or do you actually have somewhere that logs it?

Now that would be an interesting stat to see for a lot of memebers.

 

+1 and at 4000+ posts myself, I think I will follow Dave's advice and keep my mouth shut a little more often

 

LMAO

OK, I stand corrected. After doing the math, I probably have the forum up on the computer 3-4 hours per day. Over a 5 1/2 year span that that equates to 6-8000 hours since joining the forum. Less a few vacation days and other issues, I am sure it is 6000 plus. That doesn't mean I am reading posts 3-4 hours per day...... ok yes I am close to being a sick puppy..... but, I love my SRT's.

 

I noticed my mouth has been shut a little more these days, a lot more things that I let brush off. I hit 4k posts a while ago and my post count only slowly rises these days.



So in response to Randy, I was trying to make this scientific. If you assume each post you write takes 5 minutes (a little high sure, but not too much), and each thread takes an average of 15 minutes to read, and you average only 3 posts per thread, then I have spent a **** ton of time on the forum...

For Science

I have spent 570 hours actively engaging in discussion on the forum given the assumptions above.

If you assume another 2 hours a day of lurking, then I have spent approximately 3212 total hours on the forum. That equal 133.83 days, 4.5 months, or 37% of a year on the forum over the past almost four years...I need to get out more.

 

I am looking for a very cheap psychiatrist right now.......

 

Hi guys, just trying to catch up!

 

congrats on the milestone john. keep up the good work....

 

Don't worry, once they delete the hidden political section John's posts will go back down to 1500

 

John,
You are without a doubt to me one of the most respected members here.
I'm happy to have been able to share some good times at the Dragon GTG's with you and look forward to many more.

OK thats 1 more added to my "post count" lol

 

You guys are too kind, much appreciated!

And Nick, I think we BOTH have our share of hot air on this board... buahahaha

(Leave work early tomorrow and come drag-racing BTW )

Cheers all,

 

The expensive ones are worth the money!

(Not that I would know...)


(Over 3,500 posts in just over two years - eat my dust, John.)
