67,000 posts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**davischevy** · 12-20-2018, 12:13 AM

I took a night off and special-K made his 67,000th post. I missed the whole thing. Was there a celebration or anything?

flashed · 12-20-2018, 12:14 AM

Dang ,I missed it too .

**Steeveedee** · 12-20-2018, 12:40 AM

Holy Sh...mokes! That's a lot of sayin'. Good thing he says nice things! Good on ya, Tim!

**Boog** · 12-20-2018, 06:37 AM

Well he kinda has a lot to say. Now I'm just saying.

CG · 12-20-2018, 07:52 AM

Good achievement. He still has a ways to go to catch up to Longhorn Man, and he's been off the board for years.

yuccales · 12-20-2018, 08:40 AM

I feel kinda....inadequate.

**special-K** · 12-20-2018, 08:59 AM

The celebration will be next week when it hits 75,000. I thought about quitting when I saw it coming up on 50k. I'm sure not counting. It's one post at a time, come here pretty much daily, trucks have always been my thing from rod & custom to how I make my living to recreation. From Harley Servicar to Hayes logging rigs. From creating posts to responding and a couple bouts with moderating. I used to post hundreds of pictures from a show. I really got stoked on picture saving when I started using the computer. I always enjoyed photography and with digital coming along there's no limit.

It's funny. In real life, meaning in the presence of others face to face, I can go on and on with some topics or be the listener who can't get a word in. Maybe it's my mood, could be the topic, maybe the personality of whom I speak with... I dunno. I enjoy conversation and it doesn't take much to spark me. But I'm not about overpowering, and when I connect with someone like that I just step back. I only want to talk if you are interested and listening. If I think you are coming up with your next thing when you should be listening I lose interest real quick.

It all boils down to this being my place to come be with friends with shared interests and to be helpful when I can with knowledge where I can. It's my happy place

**Ol Blue K20** · 12-20-2018, 10:19 AM

It's amazing how fast they accumulate. I'm ready for the celebration party....

mingoman · 12-20-2018, 11:53 AM

67K?!?!? That's incredible!

If I remember right, Andy had his post count artificially raised by Liz way back in the day. I'm pretty sure Tim did all these on his own. Congrats Tim!

Either that or Andy had more to say in “shop talk” I never went there so it’s just an estimation.

Congrats Tim.

**Ol Blue K20** · 12-20-2018, 10:07 PM

I don't know about an inflated post counr, .....but since I have been here Tim is one I consider a friend. Meeting him is on my bucket list.

**special-K** · 12-20-2018, 10:12 PM

Same here, Dale. I go to the local tavern 0-3 times a year, been over 30 years. The people who work there recognize me but that's it. I see the same faces in there every time. No one knows me but they all know each other. I don't hang out, just get a beer and some food (good food). I'm not really interested in the conversations going on. This place is my hangout. And I can get things done while I'm at it.

I was told Shop Talk posts didn't add in. I went there twice when it was up. I'm fine with only saying what is allowed here. It's been 14 years of posting most days morning and evening. I don't do other forums, don't like Facebook or any other thing like it. It's either here, some buying, searches out of curiosity, and e-mail for me and computers. Until recently I had a 67-72s, Squarebodies, and GMT400s, so three message boards and parts boards to participate in. I've tried to keep my region forum alive, contribute pictures in three picture stickies n Heavy Haulers, am active in Our Stuff In Scale, buying/selling, it all adds up

You will have to get on his schedule Dale so's you don't interfere with his daily post count.

**special-K** · 12-20-2018, 11:21 PM

I'm generally offline in the middle of the day a couple hours, but don't interfere with my coffee/oatmeal/banana/67-72.com!!! No problem rearranging my work schedule. I think Harrison, AR is close enough to middle point for a rondezvous. I did find some new websites I'm going to be checking out just this morning that a new member was kind enough to share.

**TJ's Chevy** · 12-22-2018, 02:27 PM

Dang! I was just happy to beat 10k. haha!

flashed · 12-22-2018, 02:42 PM

And to think someone on here designated me a Post Whore under my name . But Tim knows his stuff while Im still wet behind the ears .

**davischevy** · 12-22-2018, 05:31 PM

I should say here, the Harrison Arkansas is a good place to meet up anytime for anybody.

papawswrench · 12-22-2018, 06:14 PM

I enjoy reading your posts.
Heck, I only have about 10,000 on my own forum!

**special-K** · 12-23-2018, 09:39 AM

Maybe I need my own forum. I could talk to myself and add my post count up x 2!

I started out lurking for a few years. Maybe came here every other month, if that. What got me participating was the need for good info. I'd see questions given inaccurate answers and guesses (like FB is now), wait to see a good answer, and finally I registered to answer a few posts in one day... very cautiously. I remember starting off with "What I was always told..." or "From what I've seen..." or "The way I always understood it..." etc. I remember the day Longhornman told me "You're one of us now". I felt like you do at Burger King when they give you a paper crown! Biggest day in my life!!!

67swb72klb · 12-23-2018, 09:55 AM

That went quick! What's the average word count per post

I know you don't do FB much, but I saw somebody ask a question, and you gave him the correct answer and he completely ignored that correct answer.
