What would you expect your post count to be at the end of your lifetime at posting at AT?

I'm a very slow poster and more of a lurker.. So I just expect to be a lifer when I'm in my grave. What about you? There is another poll included just for the heck of it.

No idea.

To be perfectly honest, I'll probably get bored of AT before I ever reach that point.

A 20 year old poster who just hit Lifer status who would expect to live to be 80 years old would have to maintain a 45 post-per-day average to achieve 1,000,000 posts before he died.

Thank you, my dear. I added an important choice in the POLL because of you. But probably its gonna ruin the poll. Someone tell me if it does so.

Some of the more prevelant no-lifer posters have slowed down considerably.

Skoorb for one - shows what actually getting a family like can do for you.

Dentures and retirement homes are interesting topics.

I've been here a long time....I think I hit lifer my freshman year of college (2002), I've slowed down a lot since then. I'll probably hit 25k, eventually.

Post count should be only be visible in profiles, if at all. Other than the trading forums it serves no purpose and only adds to the elitist and bullying attitude of many members.

well they did do away with the top 10 poster list.

but who really bullies because of thread count? Yes, you can tell that peeps are newbs, but that's about it.

I've slowed down a lot in the last couple years. I think I was up to 32ppd at one point. Now I think I have less than 10ppd bringing my avg down further.
