Bah!!!! Didn't want the 1000th post anyway

I never get this kinda competing for the xxxth post on forums.

Why should the 1000th be any more worth having that the 999th or any other?

[stuntkid99]

Because it's a nice rounded achievable number ;-) And we like nice

The same reason I suppose why the Queen will send someone a telegram on their 100th birthday but not their 99th, or why a married couples 50th anniversary is more special than the 49th. People like round numbers, which is why the psychology of prices like £6.99 work. Generally we look at the first number and discard the remaining 2 after the decimal. The price becomes £6 and not the £7 it really is.

But 1000 short messages is hardly the same as making it to the grand old age of 100.

I'd get it if we were celebrating the forum still going after a year or something.
