A day that will be infamous on WHT...

Soon... very soon...

I believe at last count he was at 9,992..

Where will the post be?

Will be the post be one of his intresting humor or harsh wrath?

No one will know... (Heck, he might not even notice)...

Anyone have any suggestions for what his 10k post should be?

Chicken watch 10k has started :D

Why not just fake it in some good image editing software like paint?

I think chicken should post one more time, and then reset his post count. To prove that post count's don't matter.

14 posts a day? That's about what I average at SitePoint after a year :) Well done mate, keep up the good work.

Just for the record, editing posts does not count towards your postcount.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone done a "refresh post counts" in the db database? I lost nearly 300 posts that way, and I'd hate for Chicken to drop below 10K after making it to that landmark ;)

Well, okay. You can if you must. But, I thought it was just done a week or so ago. :D

Most boards don't even do it, and the ones that do often do it yearly. WHT may have, I'm new here, remember? :)

I'm just surprised he's gone through all these posts and not run out of words yet. Maybe we should buy him a thesaurus just so he's got enough synonyms left to make it...

im surprised something didn't short circuit or something fancy when chicken hit the 10k post mark, you know, a mini ascension or something of that degree :D. Maybe if you're not already a mod you become a mod at 10k? :D

I just did a quick review of a few of Chicken's posts, and have found that he actually recycles words! Some of them he's probably used in hundreds of posts!

:)

While I'm really not of the opinion that post counts mean much at all (if anything a high count often means that the user writes a lot of useless "me too" and smiley-only posts), so I don't really think it's something that needs "congratulations," I'll take this opportunity to thank Chicken for the work he puts in here. He does a lot to make WHT worthwhile, and I am happy to say that of those 10,000+ posts if there've been any that haven't had some real content I've missed them.
