0 - 375 posts... split tracker
375-750 posts.... standard
750-1500..... magnum
1500-3000..... jeroboam
3000-6000..... imperial

Your first order of business is to send each of us in the Mega club a bottle of wine from your cellar.

  I  found precedent on page 1 of many other not-yet-Megas contributing.  If the bylaws have changed since then, you really should post them somewhere...

(One post closer!)

And once a few more posts and bottles of wine have come down the pike, the post count will appear as four digits anyway.

Status: offline 		Ooh, I am now a member of Triple Mega:

1k posts
1k bottles
1k TNs

In CT only Eric and wineismylife appear to also have that triple. Wrighty could join after one trip to the wine store.

Also recently finally passed a thousand thousand TN views (i.e., 1 million views). So actually a quad Mega.

Next up:
1k consumption (well, CT official bottles recorded at least). Currently I'm at 965. (Again Eric and Joe are already ensconced in that club.)

I think achieving all five (One thousand posts, notes, bottles in inventory, and bottles consumed, and one thousand thousand TN views) should qualify one for the Quintarella Club. I have acquired some 1999 Quintarelli Valpolicella which I'll try to manage as my 1,000th botttle consumed.

Yes, but you must now shoot for the 1,000 posts "after 1 whole bottle consumed alone"

Seems I have the 1k consumed but not as many in the cellar. Did nudge through it about a year or so ago but no doubt, the consumption was below the level. I've 36 bottles of CT 2010 Napa to add if someone can show me the wine on CT but still not enough to take me into the higher reaches of CT.

I can only put this down to length of time I've been on CT, not prolific consumption honest, noted I'm the longest serving MEGA other than Eric and Andrew, the two 'administrators'

Not that I have that kind of numbers, but how do you see the total (other than adding individual wine views up)?

Congrats on being one of only five CTers (I believe) with more posts per day than Eric...counting people who have at least 100 posts.  Fun community game: Can anyone guess the others and the current #1 without peeking?
