(149,660 posts)1. My dear Indi Guy!
The admins used to have that number to show that the poster had more than 1000 posts. Now, they've returned to showing the actual post count.

(37,540 posts)2. It usually denotes agreement x the number.
So this is way better than a +1, or +10, or even +100.
At the end of the year, you can total up the number of + x# of comments you got throughout the year and submit to the administrators for a chance to win valuable prizes.
