Chuck, I've always found that a good way to add to one's post count is to start making many posts, and then get your average post count per day up. The Silly Stuff or Humor Forum is a good place to do this. My first couple of years, I didnt have many posts, except for my stories. After that, when they created the Silly Stuff forum, I began posting a lot in that section, my post count shot up, and, not to brag, but I quietly found myself 11th on the list of TMF posters. Now, I have an average of 6 plus posts per day, so, every night, after midnight, before I go to bed, I post at least 7 items in the Silly Stuff forum to keep my average post count per day going up. You would be surprised just how fast it has. I'm headed toward 11,000.
Try doing some silly stuff forum posting. 10 posts a day, maybe. You'd be surprised how fast that post count will shoot up.
