Good point. Grief, I think I'm looking at 17 years from when I first joined the DB forum here... <Creak>... I remember asking Rich to copy over the stats from the old forum (join date is for the *new* forum), but I think he never had the time or lost the data. I remember being right gutted as I think I was like the 2nd or 3rd highest poster at the time (something like 3k of messages in a year or so), and it was a bit of a competition for the top 10 posters to post decent messages (we didn't use up the count on forum games and the like).
I never posted anywhere near the same amount after that. Good thing though, as I probably spent most of my spare time posting on here (remember before phones or tablets were really capable of easily accessing websites, so it was all on your normally desktop PC). Got kind of obsessive keeping that coveted spot on the leaderboard. Nobody was getting anywhere near Indy though. If you remember him, he was must have spent 24/7 writing messages here (and doing game logos for people, which was nice). At least I got a bit of my life back, and actually spent some time coding games after that. Thanks Rich!
Cheers
Ps. Oh yeah, and I don't need no stinking badges!
