mcbigski Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I was perhaps the original noob, never saw the EZ board but joined up just a week or so after this one went live, so I'm not one of the old fogies MMM refers to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A wilding Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I lurked from way back. I remember first finding out about R+L=J from reading it on Dragonstone when I went googling to find out when ACoK would come out. I actually joined after reading ASoS in July 2000. Never been that active after the first few years though - I did ask for my post count to be carried over from ezboard so it would not be embarrassingly low.

I still remember you from back when there used to be member listings by post count. I never broke higher than page 6, but you and I were neck and neck on page 8 for several years.

A wilding Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I remember those post count listing pages! I used to vanity check my position on them occasionally too, but I never made it into the big leagues either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once held a top ten slot in that count listing back in the day...once...whole lotta posts ignored back then... I'm honestly hazy about when I joined, though I feel like it was around early 2001...but it might have been later, but not later than spring 2002.

Joined in 2007 at the rip old age of 19 according to my profile but I lurked for quite a while before that. Still class myself as a noob though. I didn't realize we were the same age! Well hey, we're definitely not fl00bs, so there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luzifer's right hand Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I joined early in 2003. I dunno exactly when but I remember interacting with Lord Manwoody. I never posted that much on this board and even on the old board I spent most of my time in chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzanth Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Not an old timer, but I haven't posted in around a decade! Amazing to see all the same folks still around. I'll admit I did lurk a bit when the TV shows were on the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sologdin Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 But in my mind, the old ones are those who lived through the Zorse wars (which were only legend when I joined) and even more so those who date back before the ezboard incarnation of this site. the appropriate tolkienian concordance when confronted with forum antediluvians is-- Quote "It is old, very old," said the Elf. "So old that almost I feel young again, as I have not felt since I journeyed with you children. It is old and full of memory. I could have been happy here, if I had come in days of peace."

I distinctly remember you joining, and I’d recently got my Council Member title, so I think it must have been 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyria Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I joined late 2001, I think. Or early 2002. I rarely posted then or now, as you can tell by my count (and I think I had my old count transferred). I also spent most of my time in (drunk) chat. Os actually took over my board account for a night to create a bunch of silly posts to get my numbers up enough to get a custom title. I miss drunk chat!

Some of the Floobs must do nothing but post here. I'm sure there was someone who did over 10,000 in their first year. In my first couple of years I sometimes got to 40 posts in a day just arguing over the minutiae in the four books that were out. I'm glad I got that out of my system before the TV show.

I used to vanity check my position on them occasionally too, but I never made it into the big leagues either. Didn't the post count also have a way of sorting by number of posts made in a day? I have a distinct memory that there was one day early on that I posted 116 times for some reason and that put me at #1 for the day. But maybe that's all a false memory.

Starkess Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Yes, there was definitely a per-day ranking somewhere at some point. And the tragedy of a hot thread getting FGed and then it wouldn't count anymore! Tyria, drunk chat was so much fun! I used to hang there a lot--of course I was typically sober because I wasn't 21 then! Wow so long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFatCoward Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Who is the current leader in posts? I know some people burn out quickly but it seems like others just relentlessly bang in a solid number day after day. I would guess ser scot or mormont?

Just perusing the participants of this thread, Ran's at around 36K, Mormont around 40K, Kalbear is at 50K, and Scot is at 55K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
