15,000
 
Yep that's right, 15000 posts!

OANST 08-11-2010 12:36 PM

I'm sorry.

I wonder how many I would have if all of my posts actually counted.

Wil 08-11-2010 12:36 PM

Oh Xavier, I had this typed out ready:

:

Xavier has been a member of the Oddworld Forums since August 2001, meaning he's spent 9 years posting here, which he's done at an average rate of 4.55 posts per day. Mathemafreaks amongst you will intuitively recognize that this brings his postcount to the insanely high number of 15 000.

Fifteen thousand! I can't even comprehend the magnitude of that contribution. And that's just his recorded postcount. Remember that doesn't take into account anything posted in Welcomes & Birthdays or anything moved to Necrum Burial Grounds. And remember also that Xavier has spent years reporting Oddworld News, first as part of Oddworld Maniac, then temporarily on Oddworld-Web, and finally on OddBlog, where he's reported 242 stories. And he's single-handedly compiled The Oddworld Graphics Gallery, The Oddworld Cinema, The Odd Wide Web and the first incarnation of The Oddworld Scriptures. It beggars belief.

So I'd like to take the opportunity of this pointless milestone to celebrate a very pointful nine years of contribution to the online Oddworld fan community from Xavier. Fifteen thousand cheers! Hip hip…

You definitely love the Oddworld. That's for sure.

Congratulations on spending nine years of your life on oddworld forums! Maybe you could od a little look back or something here like remembering what OWF was like before the move and then in the beginning of this'n and stuff.

Hazel-Rah 08-11-2010 02:11 PM

Congrats! Although it must've been more fun when there were actually Oddworld games to look forward to.

Wil 08-11-2010 02:30 PM

Yes, it was always better in the past. The Great Oddworld Forums–Glass Asylum schism… That was a laugh. And when we were first shown Clakkerz… My how we frolicked. Not to mention the Wired debacle. Such good times.

Not to mention I've hooked up with some amazing people I met here.

EDIT: Yes, I have already hijacked this thread to talk about my own expriences. Sorry.

Hazel-Rah 08-11-2010 02:31 PM

Maybe the new Oddworld game will be good and we can have good times again?

Alf Shall Rise 08-11-2010 02:40 PM

Congratulations! That's a lot of posts.

These are the best days of our life...

Congrats! I remember when I first joined, your count was at about 7 or 8 thousand. They grow up so fast. ;_;

Xavier 08-11-2010 11:27 PM

Thank you everyone! I actually just wanted to point out the pointless milestone :D.

In fact it's not so much a problem to me that OWI was quiet during those last years, it allowed me to focus on my studies.

And thank you all for you nice messages it makes me all fuzzy inside :p

GABBITS OWN 08-11-2010 11:53 PM

Its not totally pointless...

Jordan 08-12-2010 12:13 AM

Grats man. :D Gogogo 20k.

GABBITS OWN 08-12-2010 12:19 AM

Lol he could... eventually.

Nate 08-12-2010 12:57 AM

I remember when I first joined and Xav was up to three or four thousand posts and I figured I'd never get anywhere near that number of posts. But then, those were the days when OD had an official Picture Request thread. That was brilliant.

Congrats, Sir Xav!

Phylum 08-12-2010 02:17 AM

Jolly good show, old chap.

Havoc 08-12-2010 09:00 AM

Holy jezus. It's weird, because I rarely see Xavier post. Then again I don't visit OD that much.

Congrats, Elder X.
