    And so, MoralEnd has taken my coveted second spot on the leaderboard! I tip my hat to you, sir. ;)

    It's because I'd rather do this than my job. Tip your hat to drudgery.

    The site is really picking up lately, and with not too much of a dent to the overall quality of posts. :) Nice job both of you for setting a fairly consistent example of what a good post is!

    I agree completely, NixonBlack. I turn around for a day -- or even 5 minutes -- and there are newly completed folds and stories. I can't keep up. I certainly can't keep up with NixonBlack who essentially folds on every story! :)

    Hahaha! I try, but I'm about 50 behind right now and it's been a pretty tough time catching up this time :).

    It's time-wasting at its most fun. I just read these stories and half the time I'm giggling - I'm sure my family think I'm utterly mad! It's brilliant, though. And you guys on the high-scorer leaderboard are the backbone, so thank you very much! :-D

    You're not too far behind. Most of us started only a month or two ago and really, you don't need to be that prolific. I just have some kind of OCD when it comes to these things. Apparently MoralEnd does too (that and the drudgery :) Keyrinn is a very close third , but if you get 5 on a hundred stories, you're ahead of all of us :).

    Aww, you're sweet, nravstar! :) I've been lagging in my posts lately, but aim to turn that around soon.

    I just found this site on Friday, and I love it. I do expect that my 1:1 meetings with my manager will begin to include discussions about my productivity, but for now, this is great fun!
