What do you think when your post count reaches 999?

April 13, 2008 8:28am CST
I knew I was going to reach my 1000th post this weekend and I saw yesterday that I had reached 999. I was feeling tired and could not think of anything interesting to add to any discussion, so I left it overnight. My first post today was number 1000. I gave myself a few seconds to look at the number and then I moved on. I was more excited about getting paid for the first time this week. But now I think about it, what better end could I have to the week than to achieve a new high with my four figure post count! What did you think, or how do you think you will feel, with a post count of 999?

Like how excited you are, I am also outstanding in quite a fulfillment for having reach such a number. LOL. It was such an effort and time spent and it was all fun along the way. There were bad time -- being so tired and can't keep up -- but there was always the good things -- friends, learning and gaining more from others that counts. At least, our journey have a little like a step forward. We can now be able to get more an excitement plus an accomplishment. Calls for a celebration really! We are looking forward more now to get into the 5 digits journey.. LOL. See you around and cheers!

1000 posts! Wow! If I didn't know how difficult it is to respond and make discussions I wouldn't be impressed. That's quite a feat, something I wish can accomplish before I turn year 2 in MyLot. I know what I'll do when I get to the 999 threshold, I'll make a screenshot of the page and even print it, hahaha. I don't know, maybe I'll even retire from mylot when I reach that number or maybe would like to hit the second 1000 just to see how fast (or slow) I can do it compared to the first 1000. I would feel like I've accomplished something when I get that first thousand and hope to repeat it but that's a longshot. Hey, you better keep them coming to reach the 2nd thousand, hehehe. So congratulations on crossing the 1000 mark and may you get to 2000 soon as well. See you around!

Hey, you could do it too if you spent as much time on myLot as I do. I'm here every day and write at least 20 posts a day. I know everyone has different amount of time to spend at myLot, so it can take a lot longer to reach 1000.

Well,I guess I would dream up some topic or the other to touch that 1000 mark. It is so close at hand and whenever something is terribly close at hand we try and bridge the gap very quickly.

I felt I had to make my 1000th post a good one and I felt tired so that's why I left it overnight.

Nothing, honestly. I don't remember hitting 999. I'm pretty sure that when I hit 1000 someone else pointed it out to me, a post or two later. I don't really pay enough attention to my post count to even notice most of those benchmarks, though most of the time my friends will point them out to me. I remember starting to think sometime around that 1000-mark that I spent too much time on mylot, though.

From your present post count I think you must spend a lot of time here, but I see nothing wrong in that!

Well I haven't reached my 1000th post yet but hopefully I'll reach it soon. I'll probably reach it by the end of this week. When I reach that then I'll be really happy because I'll feel like a real mylotter. Like I see all these people on here that have like 8000 or even more and I'm like Woah! That is a lot of posting and I can't wait to at least reach 1000th.

You are already a 'real mylotter' ayumitakashi - but I know what you mean, and you will get there soon.

I think it would be really good to go to that mark. It would definitely cheer you a bit,and ease your frustrations,and would make your lips break into a smile. But,I would be really happy when I reach 500.I had already had enough frustration,due to the lack of privileges. I would be really glad if it is reduced to 300 or 400,or if the comments to responses is also added to the number of posts. Cheers ! Have a nice day. ========== If you believe ,the work is already half done ==========

I see you have passed 5000 now so you have reached your goal at least 5 times! I am still posting the same amount since I reached 1000 but I'm sure I will reach 2000 before too long.

Congratulations on reaching your 1,000 post and getting paid at the same time, what a lovely celebration! I'm still struggling but I'm hoping to make it to 1,000 before the end of the month. I know how you feel when you said you got to 999 and couldn't reply to another one, I try and give myself a goal each day but there are times when you just can't do it and other days when you just can't stop typing! Weird world, isn't it?!??! Anyway, congrats again. And happy posting.
21 Apr 08
Thanks wickedangel. I think you will do it this month. I also have days when I don't post much and others when I can't stop.

It was a big achievement in less than 4 weeks, and it must be disappointing when your discussion gets deleted.

i hope i can get to one thousand posts soon and i think that it will be a very happy moment when i reach 999 but i will be a lot more happier when i reach $10 because i cant seem to make much money on this site i only have $0.12 but im not going to give up until i get 1000 posts and $10

It does not seem like a lot of effort to me. I do post every day. Some days more than others. Usually between 15 and 25 posts. I am using my computer all day so I keep looking into myLot to see what's new.

Actually I never or very rarely look at the count when I post. Its good to look at milestones but I guess I'm not the kinda guy who keeps track!

I was very happy when I reached 999. I was trying hard to reach 1000. The very next thought that came to me when I reached 999 was to get to 1000 as quick as possible. I was happy when I reached 1000. I aways tries to keep small small targets in my mind and tries to achieve them. Right now my target is 1500 posts. I think I will achieve very soon. My next target is to reach to 2000 as soon as possible.
14 Apr 08
I see you have already passed your target of 1500. Well done ajithlal. You are on your way towards your next target now. I will also make 2000 my next goal.

I think it would be nice to hit the 999 count. I was actually targeting that last weekend but I couldn't seem to do it. Now, I only got 3 days to reach my 1000th post before I go on hiatus...again. I'd really want to reach that 4 digit post. It'll be exciting for me I guess if that happens before I go on my vacation. :)
14 Apr 08
Oh I think you can do it in three days, and it would be a nice to start your vacation knowing you had done it. Hope you have a good time anyway.
