I was one of the few that actually read all 4000 or whatever posts in the old one. Only because I happened to see it the first day and just stick with it every day. It would be impossible to try to read it all if you came in even a couple weeks late.
I also lost a ton of post count in the tragedy, I think I was #2 top poster in that thread.
Of course the last several months I haven't really cared about post count, it's all about quality, not quantity!
