    We should ask @The Red Devil, our glorious leader (long may he ribbet) if such a status can be bestowed...

    Right, but then we would have to come up with a new honor when he hits 10, 11, 12, and 13?

    9 is a trinity of trinities, 10 is our fingers and toes, 11 is a lucky number, 12 is a round dozen, 13 is unlucky/ironically lucky.

    14 we can skip, because that number lacks cultural significance, but 15 is the
    quinceañera, 16 is the sweet sixteen, 17 is the first prime number since 13, 18 can vote, 19 we can skip, 20 is a second set of ten, 21 can buy alcohol and cigarettes' in the United States, 22 is an important number to Taylor Swift, 23 is prime, 24 is two dozen, 25 is a quarter of a hundred, 26 we can skip, 27 is important for learning multiplication tables, 28 we can skip, 29 is prime, and 30 is when a person is neither young nor old.

    How is 27 more important than 28 for multiplication tables?

    For me anyway, once I internalized that 3 x 9 was 27 the rest of the multiplication table fell into place quickly.

    Before I counted out 9, 18, 27, I did understand multiplication, I just regurgitated memorized numbers. This number times that number = a third number.

    I suppose the title Double OLD ONE (at 100k posts) would be a bit of a stretch... even for me. :D


    On the (potentially :p) plus side, at least you wouldn't have to listen to me slowly go down this list of Slannhoods:

    Depends on your perspective, by definition it would be 10 times less frequent (occurring every 50,000 posts as opposed to every 5,000 posts). Not sure if that is a good thing though.

    Yes, but I don't think any force on Earth will make Nightbringer post less frequently.

    Mighty Nightbringer doesn't celebrate just the milestone, but the count downs to his milestones. You know, commonly you use see ten point countdowns. 100 point countdowns are not unknown among the general population.

    Think of it, you could a 10,000 point countdown and make a mini-celebration every 100 points of the 10,000 point count down.

    You forget my one month posting hiatus back in January/February!

    This is admittedly true... as do others though!

    but that wasn't an outer force. It was your self control!

    That's true. :)


    I suppose my internet could go down... that might do it! (especially since I really don't like posting from my mobile)

    Four of a kind!

    I'm slowly approaching a very similar milestone myself.

    The question would also be, which Old One will you become?
    And this somewhat limits the amount of members that can reach this status (wishful thinking ;))

    Grrr, Imrahil

    Aren't there "forgotten" old ones as well? Giving us considerable leeway for making up our own ones?
