He's making a World of Warcraft reference to that other tab you have on your browser.

I think you have to have at least 15k posts to qualify. It was raised to that amount several months ago. Those posts does not include posts made in IM threads like the LNST, GMT, and lunch threads because it's way too easy to rack up a gazillion posts in IM threads.
Ehhh.
For the record, I have over 15K posts and less than 200 of them are in the OT IM threads.
Maybe the Gamerboard IM threads count against me, but most of the posts end up being IM threads.

I'm just letting you know, your one of my favorite posters fwiw.

Wait, you mean there isn't one? I thought 20k posts would unlock it. At least I can now brace myself.

Complements are rare in these parts.
You're not too shabby yourself.

This website is really just a publicly available database held on a computer (server) somewhere else. There are tons of things that could be in this database that aren't visible to you To make this easier (since it's more familiar), let's think of an Excel spreadsheet: Picture a column for"username", "post", "board, "thread title", "replied to""IPaddressOfPoster," "thread started (t/f)""#postforposter." Each time you post, all this (again, an example of fields) information is filled in (though very ittle of it is actually publicly available). Queries are run under particular circumstances, for nstance: You can search "#postforposter" excluding"anything with GMT, LNST, or Lunch" in the title (you use regex to do this easily, but I'm not typing it up, as t's not particularly useful to the purpose of this exercise and would go entirely over your and most people's heads).
The query could be triggered to run every second minute, hour, two hours, day, or each time a post is made (amongst others), giving a number for each poster kept in an "applied" database (if you will) So, when you're logged in as you (assuming you have 15K posts), on the left side of the board, you get to see all of these boards + the regularly invisible Classics Board because the database says"PostsnotmadeinGMTLunchLNST>15000=True" and'reveals' it to you

Interesting, educational, topical, and accidental bump.
