Congrats to recent 40K member, mia, whose name has been added to the wiki. :)

Wiki resorted again as I cross the 50K posting milestone with this post. I hadn't noticed until your post a few months ago so look forward to welcoming you to the 50K club.

No, heartiest congratulations to you!

David

Thanks David! :)

Congratulations! I've already recognized you in the 50K thread as well.

Thanks. Mea culpa for not posting in that thread. :o

does the wiki need to be updated after mspeconomist achieving 90,000+ posts?

I just took a stab at resorting it, but I wouldn't complain if someone else checked it. I'm running on a cup of coffee. :)

Wiki updated.

Thanks for sticking around and sharing all these years.

Thanks. That means a lot coming from you.

Congrats mahasamatman for achieving the milestone!

Welcome to 50K to mahasamatman, a fellow Canadian! :tu:

I haven't checked the rate lately, but isn't a Canadi>n post worth only about 75% of a US post? :D

We should value Canadians on a loonie basis, eh?

David

I qualify as a loonie.

You obviously haven't checked lately as the exchange rate has snuck up to 80%. It's of course immaterial as my fellow Canadian and I even at that rate still outpost the likes of you. ;)

So sorry to have apparently missed tens of thousands of pearls of your wisdom over the decades. :D I spire to not be bonvoyed on the way to such globalist honors someday!

Congrats to GUWonder on post 95,000. It happened a couple hours ago, in the Nordic Region forum (but I noticed the number when reading a post in Coronavirus and Travel).

This is my belated congrats to mahasamatman for the big 50kth post. :)

I look forward to welcoming you to the 95k club very soon. That and perhaps a welcome to the under the radar 100k post club.

According to the statistics of posting an average of 12.92 posts per day, GUWonder should reach 100k on 21 September 2022.

That above the radar daily average is way above the daily average for more recent years.

Flying under the radar 100k club has a special clubhouse too. :D

I just realized that I'm a 21 year man on FT. Do I get a watch or a letter jacket??

i think it's still a handshake and a walk around the block.

If you're 21, you can have an FT cocktail!

NO, 21 just means that you're old enough to drink (which you've been doing already).

Wait why am I getting email notices for this? I 'm definitely NOT a posting legend. ;)

Sounds like you subscribed to this thread a while back.

David

Congratulations, Kacee on attaining FlyerTalk Legend status.

Congratulations and thank you for your many UA , Marriott and other contributions. 😊

MSPeconomist clocks in with 99,000 (and now 99,001) posts today (08/10/22)!

David

But are they quality? We've had multiple posters over the years, well anyway. Better left unsaid.

Well, you can get your own FT hoodie here:

David

Anybody who has made enough posts to qualify as a "Legend", is in sore need to walk away from his computer and get a real life.

So that's why my fingers and my butt hurt so much...

David

Are you sure it wasn’t because of biking rather than posting? For some, the hands and backside can be in a world of hurt after a rough bike ride but posting on FT is painless (at least to some).

The proportion of FTers who are or will become “A FlyerTalk Posting Legend” has perhaps already peaked. And that’s despite the growing prevalence of internet-connected device addiction.

IIRC, doc was the first FTer to get into the 40k+ post level. That FTer hasn’t logged in since February 2020. :(

I guess it would depend on how far one had to bend over...

Definitely true. While there are some who are following along in the virtual posting shoes of yourself and MSPeconomist , the vast majority of recent joining FT are now occasional posters given a) the multitude of other sites, travel and otherwise, b) few if any super mega DOs that you need to be in the know for, and c) mileage running/points accruals aren't what they used to be and the redemptions are honestly sometimes sucky. Also, very many who are long time posters hang out now in specific fora and most appear to be in their retirement years. Colonoscopy anyone?

And not a good sign given pandemic statistics.

David

So, MSPeconomist is sitting at 99992 posts, just 8 away from the next threshold…. It has been like this for about 3 weeks…. what is keeping you from posting 8 more :D

doc is posting his heart away on Facebook. :D

This isn't directed at any posting legend; but let's face it, quality is what counts. Just sayin'.
