Mountain Biking - Happy 10,000th Post Raiyn!

Congrad on your 10,000th post Raiyn! (just thought i'd point it out). I’ve been watching it creep up for a while :P.

Just thought i'd say you've been an great help to us all in the Mountain Bike forums, with helpful info and cracking down on AOLese :p.

Keep up the good work….here's to another 10,000 to come :D

Cheers ;)

I appreciate that Blue. Really I do. We've knocked heads before, buit this was a nice gesture and it means something to me. :beer:

Heck I didn't even realize it myself 'til you said something.
Thought I'd use #10,001 to say thanks to you and the rest of the members that inhabit this little corner of the web and tolerate my grumblings. :beer::beer:

Take shelter, because there's more to come. :D

Well done Raiyn. :beer: 10,000 is a lot of posts. I don't think i'll reach that amount ever!

Thanks :beer: You'll reach it. Bear in mind that it took nearly three years to get to this point.
Just so folks know I'm not #1 all time here (Maelstrom has me beat by quite a few) :lol:

I am so new here that I feel out of place commenting. However, I plan on staying awhile and would like to pre-thank Raiyn for future help. I have read many past posts and always seem to take something from his opinions and others as well. :)

Don't feel out of place. :beer: You're certainly welcome for any past and future help that I may provide

Yeah, Raiyn! Imagine how many people you have taught! Thank you so much for all of your help, opinions and for keeping this place sane. You're alright, Raiyn. You're okay. :)

Imagine how many I've ticked off too :lol:

You're certainly welcome for anything you've taken from my posts that has helped you or given some perspective on things. :beer:

Thanks for the compliments :beer: I like most of the folks here, (believe it or not) it's why I keep coming back. If it weren't for the other members there wouldn't be any reason for me to be here, much less for Bike Forums to exist.

Hey, you give out so much helpfull information to everyone. Even me...after all of the...*cough*....'incodents' we've been through. Heck you even got me banned for a week!

But I now understand how much effort you put into these forums, including self moderation. Some people might think of you as a bit grumpy at times, when u complain bout spelling mstakes...but i dont think you get the credit you deserve. I mean i've caught you up at 4am in the morning posting here! How dedicated is that!

10,000 posts was a good oportunity to let everyone know how much effort you've put into these forums...to be honest i dont know what we would do with out you! :D

..well thats enough outta me :D...

, when u complain bout spelling mstakes.Ok now that was on purpose.
..but i dont think you get the credit you deserve. I mean i've caught you up at 4am in the morning posting here! How dedicated is that!
You mean like tonight? ;)

Yes tonight.......problaby most nights. How do you manage? (that is of course if you live where you say you live, and its actually not 3pm in the afternoon??)

I've always been a night owl and I don't really need a ton of sleep.
(Though I will admit to the occasional cat nap when I get home from work)


edit: I usually try to get off by 3, but if it's been a busy day here I'll stay longer, especially if the topics are interesting

Get a life, you w@nker! Geez, don't you have anything better to do? If only they knew about your 20,000+ posts on www.knittingforums.net.

Congrats on the 10,000! Now deduct the ones which are useless or are about grammer.... happy 100th post ;)

Well done mate and keep it going, on Farkin I remember when one guy got to 10,000 he stopped posting for about a month then deleted old posts before making newones to keep his count at 10,000:p

Well done and keep 'em coming :beer:

Ouch. No wait, let's bash him. Bandwidth hog!

I suppose you should get some recognition for you time and effort, but I just can't help cringing every time I see your name come up, nothing really to do with your posts it's that damn avitar.... you know it's been 1 year since you and your type ripped my heart out.............

'Rasher

Can I get a "Hey Sparky" for old time sakes? :D

Current Standings:

Maelstrom, 11791
Koffee Brown, 10279
Raiyn, 10015
Khuon, 9025
Chris L, 8612
Then ME, 7052.

The scary part is that the top four all joined in 2002, Chris and I joined in 2000. That's a HUGE daily average for the top four!!!!!!

Way to go!

Congrats! Thanks for all the help. :beer:

Raiyn, your militant grammarian nature is applauded by the literati among us.

Holy Crap! Congrats Raiyn, but have you ever thought about how much time this forum has taken out of your life?

Based on approx 2 hours a day I have spent 272 days out of the last 1095 posting and moderating.

I should note I do 80% of my posting from work, so my life is already being taken away from haha...raiyn is likely around the same numbers ;)

He did a milli0n of them just yesterday cause it was his birthday an he was turning 27. His motha kep saying shes gonna pull the DSL, but hes way kool, so that didnt stop him or nE thing.

Raiyn, Congrats on hitting this milestone. Just how many of those post are of David Hasselhoff advocating the search. I thought of posting this in AOLESE, but don't know it.

I most likely never get to 10 000 but im shooting for 1000 (soon). Anyways, congrats! Well if you stick around and keep learning and sharing what you've learned the site will continue to grow and get better. That's what this is all about to me.


10 000 posts? thats huge! Congratulations. Now step away from the computer and go for a ride! It's raining, past midnight, and I'm waiting on a new fork.

I want to thank everyone who has made each and every visit to Bike Forums interesting and worthwhile to me these last 3 years. Heck I even enjoyed the arguments!

Thanks again,
Raiyn

Raiyn, you're l33t most of the time, but learn how to spell. It's "arguments" not "arguements" :p

You forgot a period, Mr. Grammar Policeman!

At least make sure your hubs have bolt-on axles. It will create a "Threshold" if you will, to protect from "small bumps" (theives that will only steal if something requires no effert to take). :D

I haven't needed one so far (the last 5 years), but I've always kept my bike in the back. Heck even at my previous job I kept the bike in the store room.

If it makes you feel better I've been looking at these http://www.nashbar.com/profile.cfm?category=135&subcategory=1175&brand=&sku=8197&storetype=&estoreid=&pagename=
