I was wondering if people just post to get their numbers up on here? When you post on what seems to be most topics and they are just meaningless posts, what would the point be? Maybe I am missing something and having a really high post count puts you in another class? It seem that when I see members with a really high post count and have not been here very long....
-
Generally, post count is meaningless. It doesn't earn you any special privileges, other than more bonk smileys getting lit up and a change in your rank.
-
Well thank you kind sir for the info! Maybe we can get along now...

What really matters, comrade, are your opinions, insights, thoughts, etc.
I don't look at anything else.
Even if I disagree with you, I appreciate someone who takes the time to post clearly-written, error-free messages.
My apologies to folks with poor spelling or dyslexia or __________, but I evaluate and judge everyone based on (1) ability to construct a sentence, (2) ability to support claims with evidence and (3) capacity to be civil, flexible and open-minded.
Historically, some folks have been extremely verbose...but are unable to post as lengthy (or frequently) due to time constraints. Therefore, your views of certain members (who don't post much now) will be very different than mine (I remember all the content they contributed over the years).
If you are too lazy to read my post, suck my left one and read Necro's post.

It seems not, seeing as every time I respond to something you post, you reply with a pointed barb.
-
I have no views one way or the other. I was just curious if there was some type of motivation to reach a high post count...
-
No Necro, that was a sincere response. Was only trying to be optimistic.
Nully, that is just plan wrong... If you are another dude there will be no making out!
-
Personally I really don't mind forum members who for whatever reason post lots as it gives me more to read.
My only problem with the forum is there is not enough posts, I quickly read all the new posts.
-
Nully, I am always optimistic about things. So who knows maybe it will pan out...

At least no tongue.

Really Ninja?.... SO wrong.... Now it's a bag of shells...

So many questions, stop over thinking things.
Post if you feel like commenting. I've posted a number of times in the Word association thread which is mindless fun. There are plenty of areas for serious posts and garbage posts.
I joined to learn, have fun and hang out with posters I like in general.
-
Not really thinking about it. Just wondered if there was a point to posting all over the place with nothing to really say....
-
That's the way real life is why would forums be any different.
Maybe you'd like a news site? One view point told to you with no opportunity to respond.
It should not be that hard to figure out.
Are you a quiet person in real life or do you take time to chat with strangers?
I'm not crapping on you, just trying to see your view point. It seems kind of strange for you to join a forum when people talking causes you confusion.
-
I have no confusion. All I mentioned was, if there was a point to needless posts they do not even add anything useful. I wondered if raising your post count meant something. That about sums it up.

You mean like that madboom character who has over three hundred posts and not a single one about games? :wink:
-
Hmmmm... Really.... Now here I thought when I started posting I recall selling quite a few games to members on here?.... Ok I guess that does not count huh? Or maybe when I tried to buy certain hard to get games? Wait that does not either.... I guess now I have to talk about games that I play to fit into that bill then.... 8)

Post count never matter to me that much i just post in threads that interest me.

LOOK AT MY BALLS!
See? Right there. A useless post. Who cares? I don't. Just post whatever, whenever. As long as you don't hurt nobody.
This. Coming from someone who isn't overall liked by the majority here.
HAR. HAR. HAR.

Wondering if there is a point to pointless posts?
You need to read up on the Soop of the Day!!

Soop! Where is he?
More importantly, where is Donna?

A high enough post count (>100) makes sure you'll always be eligible for any raffle for one and higher than that kinda indicates you give a shit about the place, that you've hung out here frequently enough and what not. If you got at least a thousand, it's some kind of an indicator you're a regular around here.
If there are pointless posts, well, that's relative to everyone. What you might find pointless, others might not, and certainly the person who made the post didn't. At least you can say you've got active members that keep the place going, even if some of the stuff is silly or mindless attempts at entertaining ourselves like perhaps the word association thread that was mentioned.

Nah, you're a cool dude Hailing! I saw no majority vote showing you were disliked. The shots in Fighting Street on ya were likely in the spirit of things.
-
Is anyone else's irony meter lighting up right now?
-
The pointlessness of this thread as some would view it, you mean ? I guess maybe after I read your post the thought occurred to me. ;)
-

Off the charts!

This is about me isn't it...
-
Now monkey why would you say that?.....

BEST THREAD EVER.
