Yes. It would be nice if others might participate and add some of their favorite pics too. They're always welcome to do so.
We've been speaking a lot about milestone numbers on the site lately. As to how it regards numbers of total posts on the forum... Record numbers of pages of threads in site history... And so on.
Obviously by the numbers, Br's "How Best To Start Your Day?" picture thread is the largest in site history.
When I started posting pics here on this thread in great numbers as an almost a daily hobby, I had no system in place for trying to keep track of the numbers of pictures I shared as I went along. About a year or two in, I figured out an imprecise but workable system to begin tracking them from that point on.
Just FYI, based on my later system and guesstimating backwards... I'm figuring that I've posted somewhere between 8,300- 8,700 pictures. Give or take. haha
That's as of today's date of 7/14/22.
Fortunately the forum does have a system in place to track the number of attachements posted to each thread that are usually pictures. As of today there are 17,460 attachments (pics) added to this thread. So if you take away a little under 9,000 from me you still have almost another 9,000 from Br, Mikeyank, Mark and several other current and former posters from over the years. If he hasn't already, it's quite likely that Br's number of pics on this thread will exceed that of my own. And I have no ego entanglement there. I think it's great! I want to see more people sharing favorite pics with us.
But just wrapping your head around having about 17,500 pictures on one thread is rather mindblowing. haha
So thank you to Br and also of course to KG for all of his comments to go along with our pictures in here.

I'm just going to pause for a moment to think out loud and mention something that is a bit of an open apology to Mikeyank. When I decided to take this thread and run with it (with pictures of mostly non-pornographic but homoerotic athletes as the theme) a fair amount of thought went into it beforehand. I did very much wrestle with the question of whether I should just start my own new thread and go from there... Or if I should just use Mikey's already existing thread and run with it. At that point I had already posted probably a hundred pics on this thread along the same lines. But when I decided to really run with it (when Covid hit), it wasn't an easy decision.
If I started a new thread they would not contain all the pictures I had already posted. Harvesting those pics from here and re-posting them again elsewhere seemed like a huge task and time waster. So if I started a new thread, those older pics would be stranded on the other thread. While being a small consideration, that was not the primary factor in my decision to stay with this thread. When I was trying to decide if I should just start a new thread, the main consideration came down to the fact that I wanted it to be a thread that felt welcome to all, even if I was one of the main contributors for a while. Mainly though I foresaw that this thread could grow quite large (with the number of pics I knew were out there somewhere) and I did not want to be seen as being egotistical about it. As in people thinking, maybe Tampa created and built up this huge thread so that he could see his own screen name at the top of it every day. Why didn't he take the already existing thread that he started off on anyways, and just go from there?
So I was caught between not wanting to be seen as one who hijacked someone else's thread, but also not wanting to create a new thread with my name on it that might be seen by some or many, as a vanity project. I wanted to see a lot of particaption on this picture thread. And if it had my name on it and I was the main poster in the beginning... I worried that fewer people would post if they felt it was somehow meant to only be Tampa's exclusive thread. So I bypassed my concerns over hijacking a thread...and to give Mikeyank the glory of having one of the largest threads of the site. I hoped he'd be pleased. Only in hindsight did I realize that Mikeyank would have really preferred for me to have created a different thread. So for that I'm sorry to my friend Mikeyank for hijacking his thread.
What's done is done and I can't change it now. I do not however regret seeing him still get his fair share of forum recognition as the original creator of one of the largest threads of the site. Mikeyank's thread truly was the catalyst and inspiration that led me to the idea for this particular theme of photo sharing that we members are still doing and enjoying today. So for that idea and inspiration, I thank Mikeyank.

So for that idea and inspiration, I thank Mikeyank. I was posting 50 pictures a day on this but started posting less on both. Now I post 30 pictures and I video per day here & around 170 on my thread. I still have 3 weeks before my thread reaches bit first birthday so to speak. As an undergraduate way back 100 years ago I had a duo major in statistics & history with a minor in Math & Physics. I could not major in my field hence the math & physics. The history I just loved.

Those numbers don't suprise me since you have pretty much caught up to me on this thread for the number of pictures posted so far. Thank you again Br for posting over here. You could have focused exclusively on your other thread. So I'm very happy that you chose to share the wealth.
