499 ... And 500.

[carver]

But seriously. I want to say that this forum is great, the people on it are, besides you, really really nice and generous.

I've learn so much here.

Such a nice place to chat and talk about all our pipes and tobaccos.

I wish I had a physical "pipe club" to go to, but I don't so this is the "virtual" version of it.

And you guys make it "plenty".
Now, I heard that once in the purple group, there are medals, badges, pins, pens, free samples, signed pipes and welcome gifts, right ?

Oh, yeah. I received mine via next-day air.
Congrats on 500. I also appreciate the virtual pipe club here.

I got an award for my first post, a big certificate appeared on the screen with "ERROR 505" on it, still don't know what that means, couldn't find anything on Pipedia.com :roll:

 

[hmhaines]

Purple is my favorite color. Can't wait to get mine!
This place is great. I have a local club, but I am moving in November and won't have one near the new place. These sorry wackos will have to do.
I think they'll do just fine.

Congratulations on your new status.

What a load of shit... this place is filled with a bunch of losers connected by a filthy habit we find charming... people with nothing better to do than to chat virtually about our habit so that for at least a bit, we feel less alone in our smoke..
I'm having a day and I apologize for that. I'm likely projecting my own inadequacies onto this lovely forum... or not what I meant to say was congrats

Congrats on 500! I'm looking forward to reading more posts from you.

Slight miscommunication there, you need to send free sample tobacco to all purple members. :mrgreen:

I didn't notice you get bumped up into new colors w/ post counts. To be honest, I spent the first month or so on here just awe struck thinking 1-I have nothing to contribute to these threads and 2-where do I even start!? Gonna take me a long time to change colors, methinks.

 

[jabo]

Great. I didn't know you got colors and stuff. Maybe it pays to have nothing else to do ! Great bunch of folks here, although a lot of times I'm glad I keep my boots on. Cause sometimes it gets a little deep !

carver, enjoy your posts. Congratulations on five hundred plus. Just don't be like me and overdo it. The purple free massages and steam room are nice. The single malt whiskey isn't too bad either.

Wait, what? The only reason I don't post more is because I thought with every color change status we had to break a board too.

I think coyote is trying for the highest post count in the shortest possible time. Any awards for that? :wink:

As you can see, reaching 500 is not qualification for the preferred category. One must accrue a yrs membership as well.

Congrats on both counts!

Indeed he is, and he has a Master's Degree don't you know? Whether it's in thinking or philosophy or not I wouldn't know :wink:
Hope you recover from your MAJOR surgery coyote and I hope you are still able to enjoy a bowl or three whilst being HORIZONTAL ::
Regards,
Jay.
