We are closing in on 2,000 posters signed up.

We have had 52,000 different posts in 5,900 topics.

Many of those topics have been viewed over 10,000 times and a couple of them 20,000 times.

Many of us start our day with TulsaNow. This morning I checked and 20 of us had logged on between 6:30 and 7:30 and we consistently had five times that listed as guests viewing posts.

On a personal note, Sgrizzle is the most posted (he uses a blackberry while driving) and Conan has passed me for number two (I am now known for quality, not quantity).

I constatntly run into people who comment to me about things I have posted. Every single media source in Tulsa has someone who reads this forum and many a story is either here first or discussed more in depth.

We are having a good time here on TulsaNow. It is a great source of information and amusement. Please talk us up more to your friends. We need more posters just like a good library always needs new books.

Keep us growing.

The new Media now. TulsaNow.

What a dubious distinction.  I probably would have passed sgrizzle already if I weren't so shy and un-opinionated.

Oh, not so fast my friend.

My combined posts, include those from the now defunct ID of Neptune, now farthest planet from the Sun, leaves me hovering around 6000.

Gotta pass me first.

Any chance we could combine these numbers, and let me go back to being Neptune?  Give Sgrizzle something to worry about?

[Conan71]

So that would relegate me to third-biggest blow-hard status?  I'm crushed, I really am...

And how do you know that I'm not using 15 different handles to have schizophrenic public arguments with myself?  Hmmm?

Why did you change your monniker?

[MichaelC]

Well, you are catching up.  I couldn't possibly post as many times as I did in the days of way back.  

A long long time ago, I could easily post up to 10 new "news-based" threads in a day.  Can't do that now, other people catch that stuff, I'm very grateful.

Long story.  I started as Neptune, after a few months I was drafted into the Mod-Squad, so Neptune turned to the color green.  People complained about anonymous mods and such, changed names, and used my real name (MichaelC) as a mod nick, and Neptune to post.  Eventually, people were even complaining about that, so I dumped Neptune altogether.  People continued to b*****, so we went to the generic "Moderator" you see today.  Now, you don't know whose moderating.  That's the theory anyway.

It ain't me though, I can tell you that. []

Long story short.  I want to be Neptune.

Better to be known as "Neptune" than "Uranus"...at least in spoken conversation...

[MichaelC]

Somebody actually picked that name "Uranus", he's that goof known otherwise as Friendly Bear.

[RecycleMichael]

I would be afraid to be a planet, after the way the intergalactic empire downgraded Pluto for being behind on some lithium crystal energy payments.

The Earth is always going to be my favorite.

Go Earthlings!

Don't forget about "Pluto" the fellow that had the problem with the Penguins...[8D]

[MichaelC]

Ironically, I think Pluto might have been Friendly Bear too.

What a stooge.

[Conan71]

What's the deal MC, trying to make a foot race to 7000 here?

[MichaelC]

Hah, no way.

I have the propensity to disappear for a while, then show up for a while.  Sure it'll happen sometime, but, by that time you might already have passed it.  *shrug*

On the other hand, if Admin *hint* finds it in his heart to combine my MichaelC totals to Neptune, then locks down the user ID "MichaelC", it's on like Donkey Kong.  

[Neptune]

I'm free!

Let's get it on Conan.  []

[Conan71]

Like "Uranus", that just sounds wrong. []

My reign at 2nd was short, but hey, it makes it look as if I have slightly more of a life outside TN than you.
