And personally, taking my posts about who is no longer here and my post that keeps track of my progress as spam is slightly irritating. I think it's important to note who's left and I need that post because I forget where I am. :rolleyes:

edit: I've also just realized I don't really know where I am as the bloody post counts have all changed. :headbang:

so... I've reached 50k on some of the profile posts... which means I'm going to post another thread either tonight or tomorrow with the posts split up.
