There was one site that gave you stars under your username based on how many posts you made. And when you reached 4 bronze stars (which is roughly 1k posts) the forum would give you access to a hidden, "special members" forum. Like a VIP type thing.

I was also a part of another forum that had a hidden forum called "Poobahs" and basically was awarded when you reached 1k posts. C:

It wasn't particularly "hard" for me to reach 1k in one day.
I would just go through all the recently posted in threads, even some that haven't been posted in for a couple of days. Usually, I could get to 1k if a few other people were online and I got into a really good discussion. :D
