I’m the bottom left of your last post, right above the red Logged, it says Posts: 5831. That is your post count number. At least at the time of this writing.
Don’t look at mine, it is far too high. I’m just glad it doesn’t say Relevant Posts...

I'd been looking forward to 20,000 (what a full and active life I have!), but I don't think even at my most verbose I'd make it before the re-launch.

Maybe I should start playing all the games in the Circus - that doesn't half rack up your post-count ... [Big Grin]

Anyone care to run a book on how many posts mousethief will have made before the new Ship finishes her shakedown cruise?
I'm betting a four digit count before the drydock fills enough to float her keel...

5141 days after I signed up, here I am at 2000 posts.

Mind you, I posted very little in my first few years, so most of those posts have happened since 2009.
