My First 500

[Tokhuah]

This will be my 500th post so I want to take a moment to look back on the journey so far. I think something happens at 500 but I will not know until the submit button is clicked. As a reward for suffering through my post drinks are on the house!

As a person who loves statistics I have an immediate observation. I joined the Aerodrome during September 2014. By September 2016 I only had 148 posts. This was largely because I was still caught up in the grimdark future of the 41st millennium. However, I eventually detached myself from that universe and in a bit over 16 months I made an additional 352 posts, included an estimated 50 references to the “Corsair.” I also created new photo albums and worked on Andrea’s WGS point system project, as well as forging new connections.

Lessons learned form my experience may be summed up by the British philosopher musician Paul McCartney, “The love you take is equal to the love you make.” In other words, what you get out of an interaction is proportional to the energy put into it. I am going to avoid any long winded speeches and finish by thanking everyone for making my time here a pleasurable experience, even if I have not always been of gentle temperament.

Here is to my next 500, with a toast to all of you fine folk who make this site a unique and wonderful place!

Cheers right backatchya, Scott.


Glad to have met you on Skype with Mike a while back.
Here's to the next 500.
I am sure it won't take 3-1/2 years.

G'day Scott! You share background I am sure with many Forum members who came from 40K gaming.
I know I did.
Your 500th gave you Shiny Captains Bars so Congratulations on that achievement & may you continue to rise through the ranks with your involvement on the Forum.
Now about that Drink.

Well done Scott. Good to see your milestone reached and more to come.

[BwanaJoe]

Congrats on your new railroad tracks! I’ll raise a Dunkel to that as well. I hope am still enjoying and playing the game (and participating here as well) after 3 years.

Cheers, Scott The Forum needs YOU!

[Setarius]

Congratulations Scott on your 500th.
Sounds like you did something like I did. I joined in 2009 but life kept me going slowly on here until late 2013.
Having said that I'll accept a drink or two from you to help you celebrate.

[BobP]

Congratulations Scott. I will take you up on the drink and keep the posts coming.

[Marechallannes]

Well done, Captain.

[Walter Nowotny]

Congrats on that milestone!

[Flying Helmut]

Congratulations Scott!

I'll happily partake of a Brandy to celebrate!

Now, on to the next 500..................(posts, that is, not Brandies!)

[Tokhuah]

Thank everyone! I just poured one of these:



Has this one ever been posted to the "I Think I've Found The Perfect Beer For This Place..." thread? If not I need to do that next!

Another calculation based on the Me 262, as in Me posting 262 times in the last year. Based on the trend I will project 1,000 posts by the end of 2019.

One thing I did not mention above: I absolutely love the international representation here. Also, despite periodic disagreements or saltiness there is a general respect here that makes me suspicious that I am even on the internet... and in case there is any doubt, I think this is a good thing!

[Boreas]

Congrats & keep it up!
