Which only means that there's another candidate to make it to Postland while avoiding Drakey. ;)

This thousand, however, was much quicker than the last thousand, taking me only 107 days to accomplish, where the first thousand was three hundred-some.

There should be a record book on this sort of thing.

Now that Drakey has decided that custom titles don't necessarily have to have anything to do with the people who have the titles, I suppose Ben could get a title before he can frolic.

There is. It's called "the list of Canned members." :P

When did these boards get such an obsession with postcounts? Quantity of posts is usually inversly proportional to quality.

For it too has the power to kill.
However well placed word, unlike a well placed sword,
Can also have the power to heal.

Congratulations on your 2000th post!

You counted the days it took you to get 1000/2000 posts?

It's always been that way, but interest increased after I started doing the statistics.

Which are due in two days, by the way, if I can make it. I'm overhauling the script and make it feed into a MySQL database rather than a text file (which will increase performance enormously I suspect).

My original intent of showing people that they're posting too much crap and should watch the quality has been lost, somehow. o_O

You do have a custom title technically. But maybe not fully. However, you can get a custom title at any time, Guru or not.

Aran, I should think that a database would be loads more efficient. You should also be able to incorporate a few more features in it like that.

Oh, and thanks for the congrats, everyone. spy.there, I don't think I was the fastest Guru.

Congratulations, Ben! You're probably closer to a custom title than you'd like anyway.

Having 2000 posts doesn't mean so much anymore since Drakefyre and Alorael are close to breaking the 10,000 barrier.

Once upon a time, I remember when Ben was starting out on these boards and I was just about to hit 1000. It's odd how my posting came to a complete standstill. Well, it would have been, if I was still here.

Nonetheless, congratulations on 2k.

The only "normal" title he would possibly get is Canned, so...

I don't think that reaching 2000 so quickly merits congratulation, except in a few rare cases (namely Alorael's and Drakey's). I liked it more when only the deserving had exclusive titles. Welcome to the club, though, Ben, and please stay in it as long as possible.
