Title: 3,000th Post - Or, What I've Been Wasting My Time On
Post by: yotsuya on April 15, 2013, 01:27:18 pm
Thanks for the 3000th post heads up, Neph and Cory.

Wow, that's a lot. When I joined here in 2010, I had a spare computer that I wanted to do something with. That's turned in to 2 MAME Cabs, a sitdown racer, a Tempest, an Asteroids, a roadtrip to California to get a Moon Patrol ('sup, Maxigriff?), a Megatouch, a change machine, and last night's newly completed project, a Centipede. When I told my wife I was going to build my first MAME cabinet, I offered to keep it out back on the patio. Now, the family room has become Starfighter Arcade (it's OK though- she has her dream living room).

Thanks, friends. It's been fun, and I look forward to more wacky hi-jinx.  :cheers:

And not a single project thread!!! :angry:

You and HaRuMaN have access to all my project threads. It's not my fault they're via text!  :cheers:

Didn't realize I just hit the 3k club as well. No Smoking Jacket? Well, I'll just have to wear my own.

Raises the question- who has the most posts here? FrizzleFried? Saint?

It really wasn't that long ago that Paige had the lead but he stopped posting for a couple of years.

I'm sure in a year's time, Paige will be back near the top. Ain't no one catching Chad, except maybe for PL1.  >:D

If you take all factors into account, Ginsu Victim is second to Chad.

Ginsu is almost the newest boy of the lot, and has more posts in that time than those who've been here three times as long.

Yet he hasn't posted much since he got laid off and went back to school.
