Ok, so with this thread, I shall have hit 20,000 posts, and to mark the occassion, instead of creating some crappy "Yay! 20,000 posts!" thread on AH, I've decided to come here and say thanks to boards, the admins, and you, the users. Without all you guys out there, I wouldn't have wasted so much time posting crap. :D So…

If every post you made took one minute (which is VERY VERY VERY unlikely), you have 'wasted' 333.33 hours of your life. chances are, you've wasted more like 1000 hours, if not a hell of a lot more given some of your posts. God knows how long you have spent in between posts and lurking. Well done Karl. I hope you're proud.

Ken,
Shouldn't you be hanging your head in shame for wasting so much time on boards?

I remember when victor reached the 20k mark. One day I'll get all my accounts merged, then we'll see who has the highest post count... it will still be victor.

I think I did the sums before when I hit 10k.

Imagine that a post takes on average 3 minutes, and each post equates to 10 minutes of lurking.

So the total of 20,000 posts works out at 260,000 minutes in total. Or 4,333 hours.

Now imagine that you only post from work, and you work 8 hours a day. That's 541.625 working days spent posting on boards. Now, most people work (365-104-21-12) = 229 days in a given year. Which means that if KH has been working since he joined in Feb 01, then he has spent 2.37 of his past 6.66 working years on boards. In real terms, this means that Karl spends 35% of his working day doing nothing but surfing boards.

I noticed when you hit 20,000. I had a look to see what your 20,000th post was and it was a lame one in poker.

They keep the abuse to threads, just where I like it.

I didn't realise there were so many 20k'ers. I'm off the top five.

Ah, the top stats (and new forums links) have been updated. I think yesterday they were still stuck in what they were a few weeks/months ago.
