I dunno, I kinda feel that 1000 posts would be excessive, especially considering that there are members that we would consider well established regulars but mostly through server activity and don't post much at all. There's not gonna be a perfect number, but 500 seems pretty reasonable to me. I mean, is Silver's current post count (1063) correct? Or is it inflated by the old post count adjustment items? It would be very odd to think that someone like Silver would have only just recently qualified for Ace status under a 1000 post limit.
