It means you have 1600 posts. It comes from the Flinstones, I believe.

Pooh-Bah or pooh-bah from dictionary dot com

1. A pompous ostentatious official, especially one who, holding many offices, fulfills none of them.
2. A person who holds high office.


[After Pooh-Bah, Lord-High-Everything-Else, a character in The Mikado by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan.]

According to my copy of Dictionary of American Slang (3rd ed., Harper Collins):

[ QUOTE ]
pooh-bah n by 1888 An important person; a self-important person; =BIG SHOT, HONCHO, VIP: ...where presidents and pooh-bahs commune -- Westford [fr the character in Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado who holds many high offices, the name probably coined fr two exclamations of contempt and derision
