That means if I don't need a back hoe I'll have to stop posting before I hit 30,000. Well at that rate I'll have to live to be 97.

Live long and prosper! :laughing:

It would be interesting to see if there was a way to score a poster by input from members. For example if we could vote on categories or nominate someone for a particular "merit badge" it might be fun. Like "super mechanic" or "hydraulic expert" or "welding expert" or whatever. That way we could see who really offers the most "help" to others vs guys like me that just ramble on and have fun!

Some of the "red" tractors aren't going to turn "pink" if I use my laptop in the sun are they ?

I'm sure whatever you do will be OK, just keep it simple.

That would be nice and then also have the "Rambler" Area for guys like us!!!

I agree that number of posts is not necessarily related to quality of posts. So I'll agree with you. . . . if you can come up with a good way to rate "quality" of posts. Personally, I don't know how that could be done.

I also agree, we call this "post whoring" on other message boards. Quantity does not equal quality. I could have 2000 posts in the college football thread, that doesn't mean that I'm a helpful member of the community. A few of the other message boards I frequent have "reputation points" that you earn when somebody likes the quality or topic of your post. The more rep points you have and the longer you're a member the more points you earn and then can give to others who are valued members or offer some great help.

Regardless, I really enjoy this board, and many people here have been extremely helpful.

Are you still doing this?

I opt for no change, the simple nature of TBN without the ratings, merits, and flashy graphics attempting to add valuation to the poster is not needed. IMHO. If you hang here long enough, you figure out who adds value and whose advice is sound.
