Hi all,

I was just checking out some board stats and I noticed that Graeme is about to vacate the bi-millenium club (2,967 posts and increasing quickly!!) and join Myr and I in the Tri-Mi club! (Congrats Graeme!! ) This is of course wonderful news. However, this celebration could be tinged a bit by the fact that will very likely leave the prestigious "Bi-Mi" club EMPTY!

Our very own JSmith **waves at Joe** is very likely going to be the next to enter the bi-mi club (1,960 posts currently!), however it looks a bit like he won't make it in in time to hold down the fort! NickolasJames8 **waves at Nick** is the next likely contender with 1,800 posts!

So what will happen to the Bi-Mi club? Will it go the way of the Dodo bird? So, dear friends, I urge you all to keep the comments and activity humming so that one day our top level clubs will be amply supplied!! Will you do your part for GA conservation?


Take care all and have an awesome day!
Kevin

I can stop posting for a bit, if that helps At least until Joe makes the 2000 post club

Oh, and are you aware that CJ is expecting YOU to make it to 5000 before he gets back from vacation? You had better start working hard, my friend...

*gasp* don't do that! I've already baked you a celebratory cake and what am I going to do with a big, rich chocolate cake if you don't come and join the party?......hmmmm





I suspect I'll be entering that particular club right behind Ieshwar and Beastkid and long after you and CJ have topped 7,000

Chocolate cake? Well, since you went to so much trouble... not that I'm a great chocolate cake fan, but I know a six-year-old boy who loves the stuff, so anything I don't eat, he will...

I would have gladly stepped up to the challenge, but even at my posting rate, I'll never be able to catch up to 2,000 before Graeme hits 3K.



You would be far ahead of the two of us before we even reach anywhere near 5K.

Right, Ieshwar?

I agree with you on the second part. Both of the 'Prolific Ones' would be miles ahead of us 'Non-Prolific'.

lol

BeaStKid

P.S
Graeme, since you are leading the poll, it is fair that you are the interim second-most prolific poster. I was thinking...Why don't we shift that poll to the Lounge for the general GA audience to decide??

What do you say, Kevin?

**giggles**

Well I suppose I could be persuaded to move it

*nudges him in the right direction*

OMG! Me nad advancing Kevin! :faints:

*wakes up*

Kevin, you're about 2000 posts more than me!

I have an idea! What about putting a really hot semi-nude blond gay prince in the 'bi' fort? This will definitely attract Joe! (and a couple more, of course) But Graeme should promise to control himself. It's here for Joe! So?

Will it go the way of the Dodo bird?

Btw, all of us know Dodo! But do you guys know where it lived?

Yes, Mauritius!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodo

The Dodo (Raphus cucullatus) was a flightless bird that lived on the island of Mauritius.

And people don't know Mauritius!

Sorry for hijacking the thread and talk about my island!

Ieshwar

2000 posts?!

I'm don't reckon I'd reach 200 before the end of the year...

I like the 'hot semi-nude blonde gay prince' idea.

Oh Clumber... more input from you is always welcome. [the Beast is a shameless Anglo-phile and always enjoys hearing from our cousins across the pond, oh and thanks for the tea]


I don't even know how many posts I have but numbers aren't my objective. I suppose I could crank some out but won't until I have something to say.

You mean like William or Prince with a makeover?

Am I allowed to glance backing wistfully and admiringly as I leave him behind?

Seriously -- the number of posts is never that important. Being involved in this community is the important thing -- and for some that's lurking and for others that's posting. Amongst the posters, there are the serious, the not-so-serious and the downright frivolous -- but they all form part of the complex community we have here. All are needed to make GA what it is.

I don't know where I am post-wise, but it's far from 2000 posts. Some days I'll load up a forum, sometimes I skip GA entirely because it isn't interesting me ATM. The energy thread, naturally, caught my attention

I'll hit 2000 in a year or two..


Krista

I had heard that long ago and forgotten it! I mean I knew it was an island and I know I once knew the name, but until today I hadn't made the connection that it was Mauritius!

Hmmm... William would do, but he's already taken. Lucky Kate!

So a really hot, handsome, semi-nude prince would be awesome!

Right Ieshwar?

The last I heard, they had broken up, so he's single again...

2,000 posts? Let's see, it took me a year to hit 100. If I double that next year, that'll give me 300. Double the next year, that'll give 700. Damn, I'll never make 2,000.

Yeah, me and the Dodo are moving back to Mauritius to hang out with Prince Willy.

That's the (much cuter) Harry. William is still with Kate Middleton.

Menzo

I will admit that I haven't been keeping on top of the situation, but according to the BBC, they broke up in April. I take it that they are back together again.

And I make no apologies for hijacking the thread. I'd hijack any thread for Prince William....

Yup...Harry broke up with his girlfriend a few months back and the last I heard, he is looking to get her back. If I'm not wrong, she's someone from Africa and he asked her to not to go back.

I may be wrong here...

Somehow this thread went from saving a post club from the grave, to drooling over British royalty...

By discussing that, we're actually increasing our post count and thereby trying to save the said club!!

Only a prolific post-whore would make that comment

Looks odd coming off the mouth of the person about to hit 1300 himself!!!

That's not true! I had actually thought it myself....

That's the second time I'm saying this in 2 days----->

Great Minds think Alike!!!!

But the truly brilliant are infinitely dissimilar.

Menzo (who's soon to be 1/8 of a bi-mi )

Kevin will be in the 4000 soon enough

Yeah. Given the way he is posting, it's a matter of time before he hits that mark.

My favourite pair of sayings is: Great minds think alike and Fools never differ.

Oh, and as a mathematics major from university (back in the dark ages), I can state with certainty that you're well past 1/8 of a bi-mi -- you're approached 1/4

Oh...dear.

Menzo (who remembers that 500 is NOT 1/4 of 1000)

PS And to think, I'm a grad student in mathematics...

Blame it on the computer -- they're always at fault I work with them daily, so I can say this with certainty

I recall that some months back Kevin said he was backing off from this site. Think how many posts he would have if he had remained active here.

LOL, well fortunately word problems about the "Bi-Mi" club are a bit unlikely to pop up on exams





LOL, actually I did back off, on several occasions. There's been at least two occasions when I've gone more than a month no posts at all, and several other times when I did about 2 or 3 a week. That's what I meant earlier about consistency.

And Now I'll be gone for a week (22nd-28th)

..................Graeme needs only 3 more post to hit 3000

Me thinks he is deliberately stalling so that Joe can take his place!!

.....Put a new poll that has only one choice......Graeme

Nope -- it's called work. Yesterday was Monday for me, and that meant I was, in theory, supposed to be doing other things. Today's Tuesday and I'm just about to head out for the day, so I probably won't be back here until tomorrow.

But fortunately he also seems to have vacated the Bi-Mi club on his way out!!

Congrats on 3,000 Graeme!!


...and so ends the legacy of the Bi-Mi's

only for the time-being. I'm sure someone will hoist their flag on the fort soon.

Looks like we have a volunteer! Good for you BSK!

I have good news for all the concerned conservationists outs there! The Bi-Mi's aren't extinct after all!! There's been a recent sighting

-Kevin

My goal is 500 posts my the time my 1 year anniversery here comes around. And at the rate that I'm posting, I'll make it. So....I'll probably make 1000 in 2 years, give or take a couple of months.

at the rate that i am going I might hit 500 in less than 6 months but again i might just decide to be a total posting whore and post 10 a day

so far and yet it is so close

Oh no!!!! look out everyone, we got member with posting whoreism ambitions. Look out Tiger!

Yeah, yeah. Make fun of the still somewhat newbie. I've been here, what...a total of three, four days? And I have how many posts?
So shoot me...I'm bored senseless....
