The Grand Poobah is about to move to Grand High Poobah.
I say it will happen next Tuesday. Other guesses?

It won't happen.
The mountain will remain unclimbed for the poster to follow me.
All things must come to an end, and this is where I am.
fjb_saper is about to reach Poobah... All Hail!
Vitor is not far behind, count wise, but is chronologically challenged. All Hail!

It won't happen ever? Or it just won't happen on Tuesday?
Please do not scare your loyal fans. |

It is not the destination; it is the journey.

Does this mean he will be just a ghostly outline, like Yoda and Obi Wan?

Wow he is already faded - guess that's what happens to "Legends in their own time"  |

exerk - Yes. Minus the ghostly outline. And any resemblance to Yoda or Obi Wan.
hankknowles - I'm sure I've missed the nuances of your sarcasm, much to my chagrin. However, I have never been anything other than completely serious about my signature.

No sarcasm intended! I thought I was giving a compliment! My Humble Apologies! |

Is that because Yoda has more hair?

See, I told you I missed the nuances... 
No worries, no offense taken at all... 
Given the amount of abuse I heap on people here, I am constrained by my own sensibilities from taking it with ill grace. As you can see, however, I take compliments a lot harder...
I am likely going to cheat quite a bit, and keep editing posts in this thread to respond rather than start new ones.
See, like this.
No, exerk. Those who have met me know that I have more hair than Yoda. I'm probably younger than you think I am, and likely older than you'd expect me to be once you met me.

Thanks for the vote of confidence but I think it will take quite some time still for me to hit that target...

I never make assumptions about someone's age, as most people are a fair bit out when trying to guess mine

in case it might be helpful, some of the stuff i can do are:
- re-name 20k+ ranking
- introduce smaller/bigger bands and ranks
- find a way to zap a member post count down or up
- assign a special ranking to individual member IDs
- ......

I like this idea...how about Sage, Elder or Guru?

I do observe a huge decline in Jeff's posts....
earlier it used to be >20 posts a day and now its like 1 post in 20 days... 
Is it just a game of numbers or something is being planned somewhere...
