30,000 Posts

10 more posts and I'll hit 30,000. And it's only taken 15 years. I joined this place in July of 2010 when Mike was 45 years old. Now Mike's going to be 60 this year and I'm going to be 76. 30,000 posts, and every one of them a gem. Witty, entertaining, enlightening, succinct, wise. I don't know what my 30,000th post will be, I have to think on it.

This will be my 2150th post. I joined December 1, 2009. I've slowed down the last few years. I'll be 46 next month. Guess I'm less talkative now.

Maybe let a cat write it? Just have a cat walk on the keyboard.

Yup, you are a true legend here. Your roulette wisdoms are unmatched, so many people around the world you've helped with getting on and waste their time and probably money with the bs your posts imply. Must be proud, congrats.

Take your time and don’t rush… No. Really. Please. Don’t.

Yeah, I remember the good ol’ days. July 17th, 2010.

I've been here since almost the beginning, 2009. I had a job that had loads of free time and little supervision. I was splitting time here and a smaller board also a startup. This place won out. Over that time I went from casually interested in gaming to learning all about it. I tried dealer school, failed but learned craps which helped me at the party-dealer place I worked, helped a lot. Saw all kinds of things with them.

What else have we seen in the time of this board? Presidents come, go, and come back. Vegas rising from the ashes of the late-2000s crash, transforming to be ever more high-end, leaving middle America behind in many ways. I went from casually thinking of living there to not really wanting to visit unless I play in the WSOP. Just too crowded and expensive.

Vegas went form pro-sports outcast to a center as sports gambling was legalized. And in record time.

The site has seen its share of characters. Who still remembers the first trolls? Others came, went, even died.

At about 16 years this site has been here about half the time of the modern internet, depending on how you measure it. I place the date at early 1994, though it could be a little earlier I keep that date. For those on here born pre-1980 we saw it all start and mature. So when we look at it this site being that old is a big thing. To me anyways.

Will it be here for the 10-15 years I figure I have left? Who knows.

Let's call that 3 months, although I won't be surprised if another mod overrules me.

I have no recollection of censoring a previous post.
If it was me, I may have flagged it with an unintentional fat-finger.
If so, I'm sorry.

This is my 5,634th post.

...did I do this right? I'll make a thread when I get to 6k. I know you're all very excited.

I think you needed to add one to the number you saw when you wrote it (I'm assuming you looked at the number of posts already written and just used that number)

The quoted post says it's your 5,635th post

EDIT: correction. That header updates as you make a new post. So the number on top will change. So you probably did do that post correct
