I wish Eddie a speedy recovery and I see a few posts about the now tiny trickle of new members. Understandable really, when Eddie has other more pressing matters. Although it's taken a very long time, I hope to play a straight bat in the classifieds and help keep watches circulating within the forum. Cheers all, I raise to you all a cuppa as I celebrate becoming a "Journeyman" where the joy is the route and not the grail destination.
Well the criticism of speed posting can never be levelled at you ;)

And a Leeds supporter, that's living dangerous round makem territory :)
Another speed poster here. :d
I'm closing in on being able to sell on sales corner - I'll be there by 2040 at my current posting rate...
I remember that the internet was still on dial up connections for home use back in the early 2000s.
Dial in with a modem, and it would turn off the phone line for 5 or 10 minutes while one whole page loaded up - with a slow moving blue line to show percentage progress.
When I was job hunting online, I used to go down to the library and use their PC's for an hour a day because the connection was much quicker (and free = cheaper)
Happy days
If everyone was like these "speed" posters the forum would have died off years ago.
Cheers,
Neil.
I'm very far from being a speed poster ... but i do enjoy reading some of the threads on here all the same ... i guess i'm more of a reader than a poster
Didn't new registrations stop quite a while ago? Can't remember the original reason why...maybe an influx of potential scammers, bots etc.
I’m running at a similar rate OP.
238 posts in 7 years.
I don’t say much but I enjoy reading through the forum archives.

Pleased to see I’m not the only one taking it slowly. I think I’m at around post 120 in 6 years, which is crazy given that I seem to post daily via Tapatalk-I view all watch forums mixed together and have only just noticed that I needed to subscribe to various sub forums individually so hopefully I’ll contribute more going forwards.

My name is goz211 and I am a speed poster.
Almost 16 years as a member here, with a paltry 201 posts. I’ll do something special for number 250. See you in a few years.
In all seriousness, I read through the forum almost daily and have learned not only about watches, brogues, and which generation of the Mazda MX-5 is the best, but have also learned, for the most part, the forum is made up of genuinely good humans. Keep it up guys!
Oh, and I will have a big announcement coming soon. It’ll be more relevant to the Hi-Fi world, but I know there are a few of you on here.
I'm a lurker too. Would love to utilise sales corner to sell but just can't post for the sake of posting
Go on…. Give it a go!!!
This is me as well, lol.
It's amazing how similar people are, love brogues, have an MX5 and loads of watches.
I'm pacing myself.
13 years and 70 ish posts.
I use the forum as a resource and love sales corner. I trust what I buy from there, which is the point of the forum post count. I’d like to at least be able to reply to sales threads but I usually PM people.
This thread has made me wonder what type of character is the person with a high post count? Are they introvert and prefer remote interaction or are they extrovert and love the sound of their own voices?
