Do you remember Day[9] Daily #277? Do you recall that final bout of Nukes and Seussisms where an amazing(ly bad) player using the name of Seuss himself taught us that a single SCV can solo kill a Nexus, that probes do 5 damage, and that sometimes the guy you hoped would win forgot to research Stim Pack until the game was almost over?
I am that Seuss, and this is my thousandth post on TL. Ask me anything, and feel free to request Seussisms.
Some burning questions you might have thought to ask:
Q: Was it a macro? A: No. I had a notepad file with various quotes pre-written. So for every nuke I had to alt-tab to copy a quote and then hastily alt-tab back. I quickly lost track of which ones I'd already used, and in the heat of battle I had trouble scrolling through the chatlog. I had no idea how often I had accidentally reused quotes until I watched the daily.
Q: How, and I say this without any trace of sarcasm whatsoever, are you so blindingly awesome at Terran? A: I have a special training regimen. First, main Protoss. Second, only play SC2 multiplayer during the beta and the first couple of weeks following release. Next, stop playing SC2 or any other RTS entirely. Months/years later when you suddenly pick up the game again and play a completely different race from the one you practiced you will find you have obtained the godlike ability to forget that marines have upgrades and aren't a proper counter to Colosseusses.
Q: Why did you stop playing SC2? A: All my friends stopped for various reasons, and I don't usually find multiplayer games enjoyable when I'm by myself.
Q: Where have you been posting all this time? A: In the League of Legends subforum, where I could hide from my shameful Wood League SC2 performance.
Q: Were you always Seuss? A: Yes. I originally picked the name during the beta (I was Seuss.MD) because it was simple and I had delusions of possibly becoming a professional player. I never applied myself enough to actually become remotely good. I stuck with the name after release, and when the daily was announced I felt compelled to participate (my first and only time).
Q: How many replays did you submit? A: I actually submitted two, and still have the other one! For your enjoyment, the long forgotten second replay: Schwag vs Seuss on Shakuras Plateau
While post count indeed doesnt matter much, except that it may give you some credibility, I think it's a good idea to put especially big effort into big number posts Doesn't mean he shouldn't post equivalent things even if it was 999th tho.

2. How mad did your team get at your failure?
3. What song is playing in that video?
1. Seuss was taken, but Montegomery was not. Fun Fact: I didn't realize I was misspelling Montgomery when I picked that name. Herp derp.
2. Assuming you're referring to the Xin Zhao video, I was playing with friends. They didn't get mad so much as revel in the chance to mercilessly make fun of me for my utterly moronic play.
3. Cheers! by Tsuneo Imahori. It's from the second Trigun OST.

P.S. I guess what I'm trying to say is: if you want to contribute or write an article, go for it regardless of # posts.
It's a tough road getting to 1000. Some people just don't have time to be even posting!
