It has taken me more than 10 years on BI, but I made it to 5000 posts. Of those, probably only about 2-3 dozen had any real merit. Such is the internet forum lifestyle...

Slow and steady wins the race (not like my good buddy NYC who has logged in over 14k posts in probably less than 3 years!) ...

Congrats! I keep it short, sweet and without any depth or merit. That's the secret to my success.

Nice... thanks for the tip!

Congrats but your poster info says you joined in 2008. How is that over 10 years on BI?

Wheee...1 more post for me!

Congratulations!

Your reward is getting to look at this photo....

Keep looking in your mailbox for the 5000 post BI pin that you can wear with pride at Cal games.

Is that Sonny before the weight loss or an OL recruit taking a siesta during his campus visit.

The 'join date' reset to 2008 when BI migrated from Scout but the post count remained. The people you see with a July 2008 join date migrated from Scout.

I think txwharfrat and I joined about the same time...I think my first post was late 2003 or something like that. Anyways I'm almost to 5 K too...

I know. I was just teasing. Plus, I needed another post to be recorded.

Thanks for giving me another reason to post. Good luck with your 5K as well!

It's funny...I joined BI immediately after the Sacramento State game.

Haha, congrats. I got a ways to go for sure.

So that's the secret! It's sort of like billing in .1 increments for a 30 second phone call. It's how I make my hours every month.

I'm not quite sure I understand this. Can you explain it again?

Exactly. Other tips: Game threads are money for racking up posts however, when a thread you're on gets deleted I think you lose your post counts from them.

I'm probably really at 5,000 by now but to be fair, I'd guess 200-400 of those were just pictures of hotties and another 1,000 were drunken posts. But hey, sinning and throwing stones, pot meet kettle and glass houses and all that.

Yeah ... I found the site toward the end of the 2003 season .... Back in the dark ages when I had to listen to KGO radio via an Internet stream because Cal was NEVER on TV here. Even the SC game in 2004 was only "regional"...

This site helped me connect to the Cal family a bit ...

I can't even remember what year I joined at the old site. Old age.

Edit: One short of 3500. More of a lurker I guess.
