Three Thousand Posts on Classic-Castle!

Well hello again, everyone!

This marks my three thousandth post on the CC forums, and I have to say, I've enjoyed every single one of them!

I'd like to thank the members of Lands of Classic Castle who have inspired me to be so active on this forum. You guys are awesome, and I have a blast participating in the LCC with you. Together, we've really created a lot of buzz on this forum and brought in a lot of new members. I'm glad to have had a hand in hopefully guiding in the next generation of CC'ers so that this awesome place can continue to thrive for years to come!

Thank you so much to all of the Admins and Mods for your support, and thanks for bearing with me when I go "mini-mod" every once in a while!

Thank you to all of the members who have supported me through these last two-and-a-half years with words of encouragement during my studies and with praise and (critiques!) on my MOCs. You guys really mean a lot to me, and I've built many valuable friendships here with people who I likely will never meet in person.

A special shout-out to Josh, Bruce, Blue, Mark, Rick, Andy, Schmidt, and all of the rest of the people I regularly interact with on here!
More special thanks to all of my fellow LCC FL's and FO's, as well as all of my Garheim brethren. You guys are awesome!


I've now made it into the prestigious 3,000-post Club, joining the ranks of legends Bruce N H, JoshWedin, architect, Formendacil, Athos, Lord_Of_The_LEGO, ottoatm, and SavaTheAggie.

It took me 2 years, 6 months, and 18 days to reach this milestone, and I am the only member of the 3,000 Club who joined the forum after 2004, so we will have to see if I can hold this blistering pace for about a decade so that I can catch up to Bruce, who currently has a 3,434-post lead on me! ;)



You guys are the best community any AFOL could ask for. Here's to another successful 3,000 posts in the future!

Long live Classic-Castle!

Keep up the good work! :mrgreen:

Congratulations Jordan!! I must admit, I have been checking the forum regularly today in anticipation of this very post! :D

Your work and involvement here on CC is amazing, and deserves much praise. You have contributed so, so much to this site especially all the effort you put into the LCC. Your always willing to answer our questions, (even if they can be ridiculous) and you really brighten up this place. I hope you have another great year here at CC and many more to come!

Here's to another 3,000 Posts. :)

Happy Building,
Sir Valiant~

Honestly Jordan, when I joined CC I thought for sure you were an Admin or a Mod because of your heavy interaction in EVERYTHING. 3,000 posts is a milestone and a half! First the P.E., then the new job, now the 3,000? What's next, are you planning on hitching a ride on the next rocket to the International Space Station?! At least give us some time between each thing before springing it all on us at once!!!

In all seriousness, congrats man. People like you are the reason people like me keep lingering around this forum (and hope to continue for a very long time).


PS., sorry about the Pack Sunday. If it's any consolation I grew up as a devout Packers and Bengals fan, so Sunday was especially disheartening to have both my teams beat out.

Maybe for post 5,000 you can build a cheesehead? :raiseone:

Wow mate, that's awesome! I saw it coming and I thought 'he'll be pleased with this', and sure enough you are, and you should be!
Thanks for being such a great friend and inspiration, and for helping me so much in my early LCC days (and sometimes even now ;))! You've been amazing, and here's to another 3,000! :D

I feel the same way, the community is just so wonderful. I do not see how it would be easy to leave this great community behind. :)

Three thousand! That's quite a lot, I must say. You've definitely made a name for yourself around here since your joining, and I can safely say the community is definitely improved as a result. :)
