For those of you who track these things, JimmyM has eclipsed Bruce Lindfield to claim the #1 post count at over 33,000, making him a Triple Total Hyper-Elite Member. Please forgive me if someone has already pointed that out.

Wow. To be honest, I don't think I've seen Bruce post for a while...wasn't he sick for a while or am I confusing him with another Bruce?

That is quite an accomplishment, Bruce has been number one since before I joined to site.

If I did my math correctly (It's always suspect though) and if I continue at my current sloth like pace I should pass JimmyM in posts in about 300 years or so.. That would also mean that JimmyM would have stop posting now in order for me to catch his current number... However! If I start posting above my average post per day there is a possibility I could make up enough ground to catch him before I die, provided I live to about 120.

Wouldn't YOU like a bigger post count?

Increasing the size of your post count can boost your self esteem and forever end the unhappiness and embarassment of not feeling like a true man because your post count is, let's face it, just too small. Imagine how you'd feel if you could add two to three thousand posts (or even more!) to your count quickly and naturally. The increased confidence will make you more attractive to bassists that you'd really like to impress. And you could rest happy in the knowledge than you when you spend time with someone special here on TB, the new you is going to leave them way more satisfied than you've ever left them before.

What are you waiting for? Act NOW to get our all-natural and totally effective method for permanently increasing your post count. Just send a private message (in complete confidence) to our team here at TB and you could become someone with a truly impressive "membership" a lot quicker than you realise.

Disclaimer - our method will not be effective for posts made in OT.

Now that iPods have taken over the world and we all got tired of talking about cheese Bruce has nothing left to discuss I guess. He's probably too busy listening to his newly-acquired media player anyway.

Time for a question - where do you find your post count?

I'm getting a really disturbing image of hermaphrodites taking viagra, or extenz right now. That said, I'd totally go for this as long as it's 100% all-natural, and increases my non-OT post count.

Pfft. I'm pretty sure my post count hasn't moved since they stopped making OT posts count.

Certainly not - but as to the original point - I never saw that coming!!

I always expected Brad Johnson would be the one to overtake me.

I am very pleased that it no longer bothers me and in the words of the Lost finale - "I have let go" of this particular honour!!

Having said that - there's only a few hundred posts in it - the race is on!! A few "state of Jazz" megathreads on the DB side will do it!

Making this list is proof that I have wasted major amounts of time over the last six years!
