Trivial matter, serious question:
Why do we congratulate each other for hitting "milestone" posts? It's not as though posting a friggin' ton of shit on the 'net takes any special skill.

1. I think it keeps up the community feeling of the board
makes you want to be a part of what goes on. and its nice to get a shutout every now and again! :headbang:

2. you might or might not remember...
...but there was a time when DU was less dominated by sophomoric Lounge behavior. In those days we were all serious and stuff, and hitting 1000 posts was indicative of real dedication to digging out the facts and presenting detailed analyses of complex events. Nowadays folks hit 1000 posts during a single night of silliness in the Lounge, and baiting the mods is a top DU sport. In the old days we respected the mods. BAD Lounge lizards! BAD!
