So, as my Dakka post count closes in on 10,000, I wonder if I should do anything special. (Maybe a new avatar for the first time ever...) I feel like it's an occassion worth marking. At the same time, I'm curious if anyone else has/does feel the same.

Has anyone else celebrated a post-count milestone here or on other sites? If so, how so?

Nope. I never have.

Perhaps you should change your avatar.
