Topic: Yes it is now official Posted: April 05 2007 at 11:20 |
This is post 10000!!!! Yes it is true! I heard it was greener on the other side (of 10000 posts), I'll see if that actually happens. Only 12 more people have posted more than me and they have been on this site for about a year longer than I have I probably got to 10000 posts the fastest as well. And to commemorate this occasion I am listening to Rush! 2112! Masterliness! Brought to you by, postingisnowbecomemystrife

Congrats with # 10,000!
What's your next goal? An average of 60+ posts a day?

I shall until,
one day I hope that I'll arrive

We had one member here who had over 100 posts in avreage each day, reaching 1000 posts a week after he joined. He leaved after that though.

Excuse me, that's not strictly true, n00b. I've had to catch a bus at 7:25 everyday this week (apart from Monday).

Not that anyone here really cares about post counts though, or would repeatedly post pointelss song titles, etc, in an effort to inflate their post count....
"Nah, his opinion of this album is crapola! Hang on ... I see he's got over 10,000 posts, so he must know what he's talking about, because with that many posts in six months, he's obviously a man of substance, and to be taken seriously."
I've never understood this obsession with post counts, and how mere numbers supposedly equate to "rep" (or why we should all be expected to congratulate someone for attaining any given number).
Quality -- not quantity. I applaud individual GOOD posts, not mere numbers of them, regardless of content. (It's not the size of your post count , but what you do with it that matters.)
Sorry for "raining on your parade," PIML. It's not personal, (and I actually enjoy your presence here) it's just an ongoing concern of mine about too many posts that essentially have nothing to say, and are of no interest to anyone but the poster. I believe, in general, that what we post here should be of at least some potential interest to others. I fail to see how a mere song title, for instance, could be of any interest to anyone, and I am strongly against the presence of threads that are clearly designed only to inflate post counts with a lot of pointless drivel.
Thus I don't like post counts, and the awarding of "status" on the forum solely because of post numbers. The numbers mean nothing -- save perhaps as an indication of the degree of the forum member's obsession with the site, or lack of a social life. (And here I freely admit to having an often obsesssive/unhealthy history with this forum -- thus my frequent breaks.)
But what would I know? I have little credibility, as I've only managed 6000 or so posts in over 3 years.
Curmudgeonly rant over -- carry on with the "celebration."

I believe as far as our post counts go, Mr Rideout, we are mere
ooh, what's the word?
Ah, yes!

Sarcasm, perhaps?
Yes, really folks -- why exactly is this a praise-worthy "achievement?" I've been assured in the past that none of you currently handing out the "congratulations" care about post counts any more. (Coincidentally, you stopped caring after accumulating 10,000+ posts. Hmmmmm)
Sorry, but I think this all encourages the posting of way too much pointless, inane, self-indulgent drivel.
Enabling, perhaps?
That should win me a lot of fans, I'm sure....

Ah, but Peter - the more you debate the pros and cons of building up post counts for their own sake, your own count rises!
Which at our age is always a bonus, I suppose

You do realise, that the more you post, the longer you'll live?
It's been proven too.
Obviously you won't live to 10,000, but it's done on ratios.
