27,123 total for 2015. Only 21,391 short of a million. So, September or October?

As Vlad would have said "Bring me more posts!"

As with much in life however (including, actually, life itself) it's quality rather than quantity that ultimately is the more significant thing. Do I understand that we fix on this postage number thing in order to qualify for inclusion in some list (or get some higher rating on it) that we feel will then draw more new members to our community?

How do you figure out how many posts you have done in a period of time? *sheepish*

I'm at 4810 for the start of the New Year.

I'd say that you're being a bit optimistic, Sorus. Our general postage rate has been dropping to closer to 1500 a month, which would give us something in the region of 18,000 next year. I think it would be great if we hit 990,000 before the end of next year, and then had an easy target for the 1,000,000 in 2017. There might even be another 'Fest that year and we could all wear the t-shirts! :lol:

We can start making up the slogans now. I want one that says:
  • 'I Avatarized the Poschtcountathon!'
Happy New Year everybody!

Count the empty bottles on the floor when you wake up.

Oh, wait ... you said 'posts'. Never mind.

In all seriousness though, I think an annual 'Fest would probably be one of the most effective ways of keeping people active.

Then please come to the next one.

You are a power-poster (well, except in comparison to those like Av or Sarge...neither of which are the vibe you are seeking), but meeting you in person would be an added bonus.

Afraid not. :D We just want to hit 1 million posts before we all die. :lol:

Sorry Deer...there's no easy way, unless you make a note of how many you had at the start of the period, then subtract.

(Technically I suppose you could search for all your posts, then count the ones whose post date was inside that period.)
