At this very moment, our veteran MobyGames contributor Kartanym has exactly 9999 points. One more point will allow him to join the ever-growing list of legendary five-digit contributors. Will Kartanym be able to score this one point, or will destiny (also known as Corn Popper) interfere and perhaps WIP some of his earlier submissions, leading to point loss?.. Stay tuned for the continuation of the captivating drama about the human being and his titanic achievement!

I think he should stop contributing so he could be the guy who has exactly 9999 contribution points.

Well, hopefully he can still contribute under a different name. :)

Wouldn't it be even funnier if he ends up with 10,000 and stays there.

Shame it was not 99,999.

No. There's nothing special about 10 000. Or 53013 for that matter. But 9999, now that's something. That's unique. Frankly we have so many over-10 000 people here we need something refreshing and a guy with 9999 is unique and special.

Hey, that's a personal insult! :))

I remember having 51111 points for quite a while, that was fun.

But somebody, I think Servo, maybe somebody else, has had 33333 points for a long while some time ago.

The result is stable for a period of not less than 1 day, because no changes in the rating are seen! With bated breath we all will be waiting for the next day!

Heh, I have a news piece for the 10,000 waiting in the queue for some time now. I guess I sent it before Oleg sent his one. =)

That's one big round number you got there. And yet another Moby user breaking the 4-digits limit. Well done.

I just hope you don't like nines that much though cause you know what's your next target then...

Super effort on the 10k

I'll be happy when I get to 1k!

Awwww, shucks. Thanks folks, now to the next challenge. Took me long enough to get here, so let's hope the next 10k doesn't take as long.
