I am old. (20,000 posts thread?)

[mike24forever]

September will be 20 years here as a member. I joined my first year teaching. Life has changed a lot.

Retired, married with 2 kids. Survived a horrible accident, had to learn how to walk again (it is why I'm retired, it's not by choice). Owned 2 homes and we are having a pool installed this Spring.

That entire paragraph is something I thought I would never have, but I thank God I do. This place has been a break from the internet for me. I came for the sliders because ParedFia told me about OS on Gamefaqs, and stayed because of the great community.

I turn 50 this March. I'm old as dirt and I'm still here.

I'm still not even at 10K posts, the shame of it all after 21+ years. I can drink now though.

I've been here 17 years, crazy when you think of it. This is also the only message board I still come back to.

I remember the accident and I am glad to hear you are doing well.

OS has always been an amazing place, still talk to some of the old hockey dudes from the leagues were we in. I turn 47 in July, you aint old Mike!! hahaa

I'd love to see an all-time ranking of posters by post count, kinda like HR leaders. (i vaguely vaguely remember a thread to that extent at somepoint)

You used to be able to see it with the Member List link in sorting by post count, but the link itself was disabled.

There was a thread for the Dirty Dozen, which displayed the top twelve members (by post count) who hadn't donated to the site. You could see it on that list easily by seeing who basically wasn't a blue name.
