• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Fuck
I was just wondering if post count mattered at all to any other TCoDers, its always something ive wondered especially since there are users who have been around half the time i have and over a thousand posts (cant think of any names at the moment). I dont think it matters, since i have less than 500 posts and have been around for almost a year, but wat do u all think?
 
Why would postcount be related to length of membership? I mean I think I've got more posts than Butterfree. It really isn't an indicator of anything other than who posts the most.
Post quality is important, not quantity.
 
Sort of, for me. I like it when people appear active--i.e. usually more than one post a day, but overall post count doesn't really matter to me anymore. On my old account I used to kind of obsess over it, but now...meh.
 
It's not important in the slightest. If it were to get to the point that people are looking down on other members because of the fact that they have a greater amount of posts and therefore think they're better or more superiour it's not really worth being here. It also just encourages people to post crap around the place to increase their postcount.

EDIT: Also, if you're thinking of ticking the "sorta..." option then tick the yes box. It's discrete data; there's no "it matters to me 45%!" or anything like that.

I think it's very important. It does say something about who you are as a person and how ambitious you are in life.

Well, when you put it like that I suppose I can see your point. Might even say something about the quality of your posts such as "I don't need to post frequently as I can do it right the first time around" sort of thing.
 
Why is it unfairly high? Postcount counts post, so I'm not sure why people who post more having a higher postcount would be unfair.

Unless, of course, you think postcount does something OTHER than count posts, like for example indicate a member's ~social status~, in which case your statement that it is unfair might have more weight.

Except, of course, that you said it didn't matter to you, so that can't be right.
 
I don't really care. I mean, I recently noticed in passing that I'm close to being a Butterfree and was like "cool, a different image in my postbit!" but I don't really feel the need to post any more than usual just to get that different image. :|

No, it doesn't matter to me. Also, people playing forum games a lot often have unfairly high postcount...

I'm pretty sure posting in the game section doesn't increase your postcount.

Your postcount is sort of like your testicles: brag all you want, but nobody gives a damn how big it is.
