1k Posts. Where Do I Go From Here?

[Elvis Starburst]

I hit 1k posts awhile back. It was awesome. I had dreamed of it since my profile's creation. It seemed so far off, but I hit 900 and knew I was close. And then it happened. Now it feels like my forum long goal had been met... Now what?

The obvious choices are 2k, 3k, 4k, etc. But those don't seem to hit the level of high getting 4 digits did. And 10k... Not a chance in hell. I don't post often enough for that to be possible. I browse very often, many times a day... I just don't post a lot. It's mostly reading material for me.

So, I dunno where to go from here. My goal has passed. The next one that can give the same high is far off into the distance, to the point I can't be arsed. What would you do in my case? Badge hunting, perhaps?

Keep posting and stop caring. :3

Just let the big post counts come naturally, I say. Keep participating in the community and they will come.

Or utilize the power of Forum Games/User Groups to inflate your post count. Whatever floats your boat, I suppose.

Oh Lawd no. Once was more than enough. I do miss those reaction gifs, though.[footnote]Speaking of which, I ran across he-who-shall-not-be-named on a different website half a year ago, and he hasn't changed. If anything, he's gotten worse.[/footnote]

Back on-topic, congratulations are in order. You've joined the ranks of those who have endured enjoyed this place enough to stick around. I'm in the same boat; big lurker, seldom posts. My advice would be to just keep doing what you always do. We're a pretty chill bunch around here, all things considered.

 

[Elfgore]

I'd say for the much reachable goal of 5k. You still get that sweet, sweet high. Well, at least I did.

 

[madwarper]

You currently have 1052 posts. So, aim for 1053 and go from there.

Where do I go from here?

What an incredible crisis!


Why not join the Escapist United Nation of Pure Fun (EUNOPF!)? Or, in fact, don't sweat it and do whatever your heart commands?

 

[Dalek Caan]

To a group chat, it will help raise your post count and if your lucky Dirty James Cop Fun will show you his lewd collection. I recommend EUNOPF.

Downwards!
Be the first one to achieve going from 1000 to 999, then 998, 997, 996 and until you're back to that glorious number 1!
If you can achieve that, you'll be GOD around here!!

I'm rather miffed I didn't get a neo badge even though I can't recall getting any infractions. (at least, not in a long, long time. Can't remember the exact criteria for the badge though. Maybe I haven't been over 5000 long enough?)
Still, I wouldn't know what to suggest after a thousand.

Maybe something mathematical? Like pi? (3141 posts).
Scifi reference? (1701)

Prime number? there's tons of those over 1000. see https://primes.utm.edu/lists/small/1000.txt

Plenty of options. Though badges are more fun. Kinda frustrating because some are really exclusive though.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Err just keep on posting? I mean you can just carry on posting comment without the need/ desire or an endgoal?

Pffft... You're not even 1337 yet! Come back when you hit the real mark!

Or, you know, just wear your Morphius with pride like me!

Hahaha, oh fuck you. nO. Nooooo. My brain was wiped clean.

I've never counted my posts. I come and go as I please. Having too much attachment to forum threads can be unhealthy for my lifestyle.

 

[Sassafrass]

You get gud, skrub.

Or just not give a shit and post willy nilly like I did.
Shit's fun.

 

[Trippy Turtle]

Congratulations.
Now join me and stare at the neo badges, knowing that you will never reach it without resorting the deep dark depths of forum games and ERP.

Speaking of which, I ran across he-who-shall-not-be-named on a different website half a year ago, and he hasn't changed. If anything, he's gotten worse.

Uh, is this Max you are talking about?
I never did understand his fame/hate.

 

[Barbas]

Make a thousand more posts, then a thousand more after that, until you become one with the site. Post not in hate, for that leads to suffering and emptiness. Let your words fuel others and let theirs fuel you. In the end, it is not the posts but the people that matter, so let your efforts be the wind beneath their wings.

Spoiler: And have some music, because that helps.

 

[Elvis Starburst]

All viable ideas, guys! I think that Neo badge seems like a good start, actually... I think I'll give that a shot. It makes 10k more reasonable by having a middle ground that can still offer something great. A shiny badge of an impressive level.

Thanks for the help!~

 

[Fijiman]

Isn't it obvious? You relentlessly plot to take over the Escapist, and then the world!

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Post so much that you drive out every other member, eventually just starting threads and writing replies to yourself. Get banned for flaming in a heated R&P debate over whether or not being entered by a stallion is ethical.

People can be surprisingly vitriolic over bestiality, I'm not completely making this up.

I'm afraid it's only downhill from here young grasshopper.
