I was working on the slow-to-50 record until I saw this thread. Now, I may never reach INGO fame and glory. Damnit all!
I was, however, told "up yours" by the famous Printcraft, after participating in my first thread! How many of you can claim that distinction?
I think Mom45 got her 50 pretty quick. She had a situtation though.
How many people weren't accused of being runners by at least one member? I remember at least two accusing me.True. She zipped though 50 pretty fast.
And she got accused of being a runner, and a few worse things.
The slowest all-time (and still working on 50) is old-time INGOer Glacier Johnson from the outskirts of Fort Ritner (in the disputed area claimed by Lawrence, Jackson and Washington Counties.) Known as the "anti-Churchmouse", Glacier only posts "when the river is out". In his intro he mentioned upgrading to a 28.8K modem. Some of his more memorable posts included, "What the hell is a USB Port?" and "My Farmall Super M ain't got Wi-Fi!"
Congratulations on your 50! I don't want to brag but it only took me about 7 years.
Ft. Ritner...
I bet I'd win the who's-closest-to-Ft-Ritner award...Heck, I bet there's only 2-3 of us that even know where it is...better yet, have ever even been there.
I had a Devil's Backbone reference in there, but I thought that was a bit obscure and backspaced it. I grew up about 5 miles south of Fort Ritner (when East Fork White River wasn't out)

Dang, just looked at my join date - 4/2010, looks like I’m in the slowberg club myself. Oh look, this’ll be #32!
I'm pretty much a newbie here and was worried about how long it'll take to get to 50 posts. Well now I think I'm worried more! Doubt I'll win this contest though, too much competition.
