5000 net54 Post Club Thread

[1952boyntoncollector]

Just like 500 homers and 3000 hits and 300 wins...there is the 5000 post net54 club...

Some day when i get there, I will get to rub elbows with the bnorths of the world and ulmandds, republicaninmass, peter S., clydepepper and the like...

i know its rare air to be in this company.

i hope i am worthy.....from this point on in the thread, the hope is only people with 5000 or more posts (or someone closing in on the record) on net54 to post their wise opinions on this thread and grab a drink ,

as with ichiro his march to 3000 was different than other 3000 hit players...many of his hits were singles aka 'nice card' and not doubles or homers (analysis of blank back/error cards)


welcome all (worthy members ) to the 5000 post club!

[bnorth]

I would grab a drink with anyone on here.

I don't think I got many singles associated with my posts.:)

Like me or hate me I can guarantee I have never lied on this forum or screwed over a single member in what has to be close to 1000 transactions by now.

Have a great day everyone!:)

[clydepepper]

I'm not sure if the 5,000+ posts I have made are as 'noteworthy' as the others...just retired with too much time on my hands...and my rate has decreased since I lost the fire of collecting. (once you sell a Babe the writing's on the wall)

I do try to contribute from time to time but I usually bow to those higher up the hobby food chain than I - and there are lots of those.

I have enjoyed this forum...most fun since I quit playing.

Like Mr Culpepper I am also retired and have been for some time. That accounts for many of my posts, I just have a ton of free time. I have averaged 2.39 posts a day.

[steve B]

Only 26? I figured it would be more.

didn't figure I'd be in that group either, but I guess being around a long time gets it done...

Maybe we should have a card set of our own? Sort of like the old Topps 1000 yard gainer inserts or something.

Fun thread so it was moved and I can pad my post count!

hi leon picture made my day thank you

[rhettyeakley]

I had never really paid attention to my post count number. I have way fewer posts than I thought I would. That being said, if I actually posted every time I had a response written out I would probably be in the dubious 5,000 post club. I always ask myself Right before I click submit “am I really adding anything to this discussion or to the community by posting this” and probably 4 out of 5 times the answer is no so I delete it. :)

I limit myself strictly to informational, insightful posts that further our mutual understanding of the vintage cards we collect. Thusly, I have not attained 5k post status. When I do, the post will undoubtedly be as mutually beneficial as all my other posts.

Instead of editing the original post, I thought I would point out that the last sentence in the post I quoted above would probably read better if I had not left out the word "of". This sentence should read:

"When I do, the post will undoubtedly be as mutually beneficial as all OF my other posts." I think we can all agree how mutually beneficial this new post is.

maybe some day you can hang out here....but even guys like Tony Campana can always visit the Hall of Fame even though hes not a member...

I see BrianP just posted 5 times in a row...he wants to join this club bad......i just put 2 posts on 1 post........so my trek is slower..

Of course one member's science will back that up. :D

The guy in the photo looks too young for it to be Frank. Frank would probably have been in his early 50's when this photo was taken.

Only 1,239 posts to go.

Only 1,239 posts to go.

right and just like some players took 22+ years to get 3000 hits and others much less , im sure some posters took many more years than others to reach the famed 5000 post club..

for some its a career longetivity accomplishment, for others they just had many elite all star seasons to get to that number in a much faster way... the join date is our rookie year..

[Tao_Moko]

Don't these post counts start with the new site/forum from 2009 on? I seem to remember Archive had a lot from the old forum. I would not be worthy even if you added my old and new together but that's because I am a lowbrow. Might have to start a 500(I mean 800 :) )and under club. We can drag our knuckles together.

[DHogan]

I've helped out with the post counts of other members with this topic. :rolleyes:

right that was the spitball era...the 5000 club does not include stats from the spitball era at this time.

Nope, many of us were around way before 2009. That's just the year we moved to the new forum. Our post count followed us.

those were the minor leagues ....not count as rookie card......plus the post count went back to zero in the new forum....so can go back to that rookie year to see how long it took to get the 5000...

[Brian Van Horn]

OK. We have now reached a new milestone in the coronavirus shutdown. Rookie posts. :rolleyes:

[perezfan]

I would like to acknowledge PWCC and PSA for your help in getting me over the hump. Without your questionable antics and shady business practices, I might be languishing around the 4,700 mark. The chat forum equivalent of "warning track power", or perhaps the "Fred McGriff" of net54.

Either that, or just an old fart with too much spare time :o

If collecting the set looks like we got 6 /26 of the 5000 post club on here thus far. Some of those 26 may not be active or not allowed to post here..

Except for the sudden 'relevance' diminishment seen in his last 4 posts, Scott probably has one of the highest ratio of quality posts on this forum. I would have about 1000 posts too, if I could just keep my attempts at humor at bay. I still think I attain a 20-25% usefulness/helpful/semi-interesting posting ratio.

Brian (I obviously think rather highly about the beneficial nature of my posts)

right this was addressed as slugging percentage....some have mostly singles 'nice cards' like ichiro...others have a lot more power and a much higher posting slugging percentage....

however the number of 5000 plus posters is still pretty small so to be a member of the 5000 hit club there is no discrimination as to lack of slugging percentage or other methodology...

5000 posts is an elite club. 29000 posts is more elite, only rivaled by the Archive Bros.... Every time I say Archive I think of Dorskind.

Thankfully since the original post almost two years ago, I was able to lay the 5k golden egg, which of course has secured my lofty position within this community, and therefore so shall this be my last post in this thread.

Brian (unless I just can't resist posting something again)

[GoldenAge50s]

Didn't realize this was an old thread until I made my Post!

[Leon]

Nope, many of us were around way before 2009. That's just the year we moved to the new forum. Our post count followed us.

The post count did not carry over. This was all new s/w and all of the users were "Archive" and "Archive2" when carried over here. The user names were under the Archive brothers but they were the users. That is why we all have a long ways to go to catch the Archives in post counts.

[mrreality68]

Wow that is a lot of post congrats.

But Leon just realized you have a little more than 5k.

Just curious is there a leader board for your long term members for us rookies to see

I feel like I've seen a way to sort members by post count, but I can't recall it off the top of my head.

At my current pace, I should hit 5,000 posts sometime in 2039. Now 5,000 useful posts will take a bit longer. :D

Edit: Community>Members List>Search Members>Advanced Search>Enter 5,000 in 'Post count greater than or equal to'; resulting list yields 37 members. Though it doesn't order them or list their post totals.

[1952boyntoncollector]

Its not the Mayflower club, but any new members to the 5000 post club?

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

I just checked and I passed the threshold somewhere in the not-to-distant past.

[mrreality68]

Absolutely amazed how many posts many people have made.

I just checked and I will join that group in approx 3 years 2 months and 3 weeks.

That is a long time so amazed how long and active many people have been.

[brianp-beme]

I just checked and I passed the threshold somewhere in the not-to-distant past.

With this post I am only 4 posts behind Scott. Perhaps if I ran an auction company like he does I would have an excuse to boost my post count into a more numerically superior position.

So thus I am officially announcing my new vintage sports card auction company. It will be named "Win and Pay Promptly." I am still working on the business model for this.

You need to up that 1.6 posts a day and it won't take as long.:)

I see this makes 7999 for me with a average of 2.4 per day for a long time. This place is part of the hobby.

you need a 8000 post club thread......someday, marty mcflly would say someday jennifer i am going to get to the 8000 post club...or maybe that was to buy a pick up truck.

[frohme]

Only 26? I figured it would be more.

didn't figure I'd be in that group either, but I guess being around a long time gets it done...

Maybe ... I've been around since before the last major site change (and introduction of 'Archive' ;) ) like maybe sometime in '07-08 originally, but my posting has been sporadic at best. 5000 is a pipe dream.

It's time to establish the brand new advanced stat of PEBL (Posts Excluding Bump Lingo).

If the number of 'bumps' (and other ways of bumping a thread) were eliminated from my count, I'd probably be down to around 150 total posts...and I ain't alone.

Do you have a lot of 'ballast' in your post count number? Figure it out with PEBL.
