what is the meaning of these numbers? There are many theories. Some say they are the number of posts you have published. Personally I find this answer unacceptable, due to the fact that I am much too busy of a person to have posted as many times as this number represents.
The theory I most favor is that it is a direct correlation to the poster's IQ and general attractiveness, though this theory begins to exhibit some serious flaws when the number exceeds 10000.

Since it took you this long to get to a 1000 you obviously have something else to do. :p |

Note: I own a message board for beagle owners - http://www.ourbeagleworld.com. I am hanging on to the number 10 spot with just over 3300 posts. I have been there over 6 years.
All I can think is... You folks are blabby. :p |
