"IRL responsibilities outside of the internet"
*has highest number of posts on the entire forum*

Well, picture this: you start walking on a trail at a steady pace of 7.5 kilometers and you get pretty far, even though you're going at a leisurly pace. Then, a couple of hours later, a couple of upstarts newbies start sprinting after you so you decide to break their shins as they pass

DO NOT BE TOO HASTY... what you call 'fallen' is me having grabbed the title of Most Active Fanartist of the Fandom, so ha

That's actually the kind of achievement I respect, unlike post counts or whatever.

tzk tzk. Admiral if you want to have your crew behind you, lead post the way!

I have ways to motivate them.

uhm... not increasing is like decrease in modern times... no?

<_>

I... there's a logical explanation to this, I swear! I tend to have the forum open in a tab all day (I work from home) and it makes me look far more impressive than I actually am, what with the fact that most of the time when I seem to be here I'm actually cooking/cleaning/doing laundry/gardening/on Esja.

If you look at her stats then yes, there are hours of the day when she is not at all active.

I often see American/Canadian members still posting when I check the forum after noon though. They are all on my "probably vampires" list.

Your avatar has a cross on the shirt though. Doesn't that, like, put vampires to sleep or something.

I had claim on that title for months because I always have a tab open... but I've been here since November and you've been here since what, March, and you've usurped me already. >.>

Also my post average has gone up from 7.5 to 8.3 since I started "racing" Haiz and considering how long I've been here, that's significant

Because most people under 12 aren't active on the internet, and SSSS is a PG-13 comic?

I assembled it myself (with some assistance from my sister) using Norwegian potato hi-tech. It will run till the end of times.
