I'm sure you will. Just keep at it, and eventually you'll get there. >w<
Though once you are on par with DK, I'd love to see you to have a post-a-thon contest to see who could reach a certain number first. P: That would certainly be fun to watch you two tear the forums apart with your crazy posting speeds! 8'D
Once Inari passed me, I resigned to never ever be the #1 poster again. :C Everybody else just posts too fast, while I sometimes go through lurking periods.
I actually never had the #1 spot. Before she left the site, White had the #1 spot and I had the #2 spot, but I was at least 5k posts behind her. I tried very hard to overtake her even after she left, but Inari snuck up on me. After a long and hard battle, she passed me when I was probably about 1000 or less posts away from beating White - which would only have taken me about a week or so! After that I gave up trying to be #1. And then Nikko snuck up on me too and passed me so I became #3.
