1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Posted October 5, 2011 If there is another icon -- IF -- is it at 40,000 posts? And IF there was a new level after "Driven," the icon would already be made and ready. IF....

Again, IF there's another level coming, there would already be an icon made for it. I've always had those icons made well in advance. And considering how long it's taken for someone to approach 40,000 posts (not saying there's a new level at that number), I doubt we'd make another level past that.

Babycat Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 And in any case, Blonde77th did have 42,993 posts and lost about 3,000.

How did you come up with that? On her posts. Before that, it was set at 42,992, and then she posted on my Christmas thread last year, and the post count was then set at the number I quoted. Then, the next time I happened to notice some of her threads, because I was reading some threads in the NWW section, I saw it had been put back. That's all I wanted to say.

You had to go and remember her post count, didn't you.... Okay, now you're forcing me to reveal all this stuff instead of it just happening on its own. Yes, there's another icon level at 40,000. Yes, there's already an icon made for it -- it's been sitting there for a couple of years. But the thing is, the next level WAS at 45,000. A few years ago, Blondie and Testy were tearing up the posting, racking up big numbers. The way they were going, the gap between 30,000 and 45,000 didn't seem so big. If they would have kept up their pace, they'd both be past 45,000 by now. But Blondie found Facebook and makes only a couple of visits here a year, and rarely posts. And Testy has sharply curbed his spamming ways -- he's been around the mid 30,000s for a long time now. Lerxt1990 posts a lot and does it without spamming, so his journey to the mid 30,000s has taken years. So, we made the decision to drop the next level down to 40,000. The only problem was, Blondie was already past 40,000 (yes, 42,992 is correct, I had it written down). My idea was, temporarily drop her count to just below 40,000 until someone else passes that and gets the next level, then raise her back up to the right number and explain the whole thing. The surprise reveal of the next level icon has always been a big deal here, and that gets blown if we drop the level to 40,000 and keep Blondie's post count at 42,992. So, I didn't think anyone would notice if I temporarily dropped her count down (including her since she rarely visits). But, you did. So, now that the cat's out of the bag, do I raise her count back up and we all see the next icon? Or leave it where it is and wait for someone else to get there, then restore her proper count?
