With the obvious exceptions of theymos and satoshi, LoyceV might well be the first "regular" forum user to break 1000 earned merits. Which, for anyone who joined the forum after merit was introduced, is now the threshold to attain Legendary rank. That's quite the achievement.
Since I realized that, it feels like it takes forever to get there. I plan to change my personal text to "Self-made Legendary" 
Big thanks to dbshck who pushed me over the 1000 Merit line.It feels amazing to be the first user (I'm not really counting theymos and satoshi for this
) to reach this! Now I can sit back and watch DdmrDdmr overtake me.
