Haha, didn't he reach this months ago? I think when the forums were cleaned up he took a post hit... he was around 28k last I checked.

Congrats and thanks for answering all our questions even though you were probably asked the same ones a zillion times! Sometimes it's hard to teach old dogs new tricks but this ol dog has learned a lot from you.

Mike keeps a fire extinguisher next to his keyboard for those extra busy days. It comes in handy from time to time and keeps the smoke detectors quiet.

Re: Congrats to Mike Phillips --- 25k posts.

Thanks for all the kind words, just to note, it is my full time job so lots of posts should be the norm.

One of the reasons I lose a lot of post counts is because every time someone signs up for a class, especially if they're a brand new member, I'll post something like this,

(Taken from the below thread)

http://meguiarsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28491&page=4

Please add me to this class: Joe - feshsticks Thanks Please sign me up. Tony - Tonylani Can you please add me to the list Vic - aliasvfx Thank you ! Thank you for registering and replying to the sign-up thread, we've added your names to the list!

Usually, after someone replies to a sign-up thread I'll post the thank-you for registering and replying follow-up to let them know they did everything right and then quickly put their name on the list. People new to forums, (and a lot of people that attend our classes are new to this thing we all know as a discussion forum), are kind of panicky and want assurance they signed up correctly. Thus the reason for the follow-up, it re-assures them plus getting their name on the list so they can see it.

Then the next time someone signs-up I'll usually delete the last thank-you for registering and replying follow-up and quote the new person that signed-up and then re-post the thank-you for registering and replying follow-up again. Overtime that's a lot of deleted posts.

In the future we're going to run the Update Post Counts on a regular basis along with all the other Counters as a part of good forum maintenance.

Here's what the Update Post Counts looks like in the Admin Panel in case anyone is curious and has never been in the Admin Panel of a vBulletin forum.

You just click the little update button and the software does the rest...



Again, thanks for all the kind words, it's easy to post a lot not because it's a job but because I love my job and part of the reason for that is because Meguiar's always attracts high caliber people with a similar passion... cars!
