Congrats dude!!!!! I can't wait to get to 1000! And then 10000. I did some calculations, If I post daily for 4 years and about 9 months I can get 40000, I dont know.
Post count don't mean jack shit imo. It's what you say that matters. Someone with four posts can know way more than someone with four thousand and often those people get brushed aside because of it.. I wouldn't mind seeing post count and maybe rep disabled. Join date could stay I guess.
