I was trying to remember what it was we were betting on. Anyone recall? I'd love to go back and take a look at those threads. Isn't that how Donny got a good chunk of his posts? I don't think I ever actually bet any of mine...

I didn't bet because back then, I still thought postcount=prestige. How naive. :)

I didn't bet because I knew my true postcount would one day be an accurate indication of the sadness of my life.

Bet my post count?! Have you lost your mind?!!

To be fair, remember that you had to have 1,000 posts to get a custom icon. And 10,000 posts for an animated icon. That was very important for some. And, depending on how often you posted, betting and losing your post count could set you back years...

I think I have one of the lowest post counts considering how long I've been haunting this shit hole. A whole new kind of naivete. :dts:

Nah, animated was 10K. I remember that for the longest stretch of time, Duhard was the only one with an animated icon.

I can't imagine there are many forums out there as old as this one with a still-active userbase (with postcounts in the tens of thousands, no less). We're fucking fossils in internet time! I mean, '99 is pretty close to the beginning of the world wide web, amirite? :tard:

Well, Q3W's inception is chronologically closer to the beginning of the web than to today, at least. :p

Q3W is so old, the earliest threads weren't even being sucked up by the NSA :dts:
