Congrats.

But with that said, I think what makes Macrumors the best forums on the web is the quality of the posts. Informed Mac folks posting with humor, smarts, and rarely a personal attack out there.

I just hope we keep the focus on quality, not quantity. It's a nice milestone to celebrate, but Macrumors needs to ensure it's forums don't end up like Spymac...where it's 90% filler with people trying to increase their post counts for no reason whatsoever. (A shame, since they used to have a great community.)
