i personally think that posting simply for post count is stupid, especially when its done in threads where meaningful conversations are taking place. people need to expand on there replys a little bit b/c replys like “oh those suck” get really annoying. if you think that, tell why, and what experience youve had with them. there are definatly people w/ much higher post count than myself that i do not “respect” at all, where there are others that have lower post count that i respect highly.

1002!!!

Isn’t it odd that the people with the most post counts are the ones who care the least about it?

My post count/PPD are both so high because back when I joined, I just had a lot to say, and I said it all. Now, I’ve realized that few people actually care about most of the stuff I was posting, and so now I don’t post much at all.

However, Naomi wants to stop people from posting who have a post count higher than 5. So, I’ll see you guys in about 5 years. :frowning:

Fortunately this forum has a lot of very intelligent people on it. That is one of the many reasons I like it.

Personally, when someone goes into MR and starts boosting their post count it really annoys me because I will have to go back a bunch of pages and read through their jibberish only to find part of the conversation.

I hope you are not serious.

There are days I get home from work, or from a ride, and come home, grab some food, and get on this forums.

First thing I do is open MR, and ignore it. During that time, I go through every thread in RSU and JC, and the other sections. I find a lot of stuff I can comment on and add to, so I open those up in a new tab. Once im finished going through the forums, I go back to my tabs and type what I was going to about a certain uni part, a way to practice a trick and whatever, and within a few mins, ive already made 10 posts probably.

After im done with the important uni stuff, which gets visited everytime there is another post, I go into MR.

In MR, I briefly say how I am and what ive done today. I have two good friends in there, and both I have travelled so I can see them, and hang out. One of them, the best way to contact him is through MR. Lots of posts can go back and forth when trying to figure out directions, dates, time, locations.

Besides that, there are a lot of other people in there who instead of asking question in JC with a new thread, will ask it in MR. So more posts keep going, and then general discussion with the other members about their life, how they are doing, plans they have and all that fun.

Even without MR, there is no way I could only post 5 times a day or less. There are too many people asking questions.

Sicks days are fun, cause where I feel like vomiting by trying to walk, Ill just sit on here all day and chat away. I wouldnt be surprised if I could get 50 posts on a sick day.

I was going to mention that too. The top posters dont even care, and are just the ones on here that post a lot, for info and conversation. I dont know were a lot of the other members are getting the idea that so many of us are boosting are post counts. It kinda irks me when I read it, but the ignorance of it is funny enough for me to not care.

Ive only seen one thread in the years of being here that was for post counting. The others are just dumb and fun.

I like having lots of posts…why not?

No, not serious about the 5 portions of vegetables a day. ( That may mean something extra to the Brits ). But I would be pleased to see any recording of post totals removed from the forums. It would automatically also remove a lot of junk posting, and thereby lose us all some excess fat.

A few years ago, I became briefly concerned about my post count. I wanted to get my “posts per day” lower*. I felt I was babbling and I was starting to get tired of hearing myself “talk”. Then for a while, I just posted in the spam bin (“answering” all the spam), then I lost interest and went away. Then I came back because I missed all my friends here.

I’m at 1.08 posts per day now, not that I care either way.

    • Yes, I’m usually the opposite of most people, not that I try. Right now, I’m trying to raise my cholesterol level.

Wow!

Gilby’s good at this!

Isn’t “properly moderated” an oxymoron? Oh, that’s right, you hate free speech.
