Apparently your user title used to reflect how many posts you had made, which used to spawn threads like this to get people's post counts up. They took away the reasoning, but we still do it. ;-)
Yep. I miss the Rankings thread. Used to post in it all the time. I remember the awesome rush on my first anniversary here where Yoda Is Your Father and I competed to reach the title of Jedi Master first. So... in my first year I managed to accumulate 3,000 posts... in the over five years that followed, I haven't quite done another 5,000. Weird. I guess I'm getting old.
