Just curious if anyone has heard from kphoger.  Doesn't look like he's on timeout, but he hasn't logged in since 9/5.  Not sure if anyone kept in contact with him outside of the forum, but just wanted to make sure all was on the up and up.

He takes frequent long breaks from the forum.

Wouldn't be surprised if he needs a break from here after being the first user to reach 20k posts.

Yes, this is quite normal and even expected from Kphoger. He will randomly show back up some day, it could be tomorrow or it could be next spring.

Here's a general thread on the topic of roadgeek disappearances - not that a break from the forum necessarily means anything bad.

Nobody's catching up to him anytime soon, HB is the closest and he's over 3K behind. Max Rockatansky will probably pass him sometime in the future and will probably hold number 1 for the foreseeable future with his high post per day average.

The real amusing thing is that I couldn't give shit what my post count is.  I would be perfectly happy if it was removed as a feature.

The real question you should be asking is if flat and/or haunted posts count?

But it isn't a contest.  You along with a couple others are completely obsessed with post statistics, very few people actually care.  Is there not something more grandiose to contribute to the road community than worrying about post count stats on AAroads?

I'm pretty active on Facebook road groups and the Gribblenation blog.  I would certainly say way more active than I am on here.

Nah, convert it to nanometers. Shouldn't be that hard in a real measurement system, it's just *10^12  :colorful:
