    Not realy a reward for legendaryism but more of a prize. Who thinks the 2,700,000th poster should get their own sub-forum! It might take a while and It might be hard to find out who posted it. It's currently at 2,657,337.

    Is it actually possible to class the posts like that?
    What about a posters league table to see how many posts everyone has instead of just the top few people?

    Why? Would it not just create more spammy posts??

    Moving this to feedback

    Yes, becasue 2.7 Million is such a well known mile stone. Also, people can get forums if enough people support it.

    what's special about 2.7 Million posts?
    Surely 2,874,682 is more worthy of recognition?

    Why do people swoon so much over numbers with lots of zeros? It's just a way of representing a more abstract concept and you could easily use a number system based on some other base and the number of posts on here would look completely different.

    Bad idea - people should post because they want to respond, not to reach some number.
