Does post count matter to you?

[Jack_the_White]

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

That is an epic win Kam, way to think outside the box.

 

[Tigerclaw]

I like to have at least a moderately high postcount.

 

[Doctor Jimmy]

It's kind of worrisome: I mean, I look at all these people with 2,000+ posts, and there's no way I can ever get that many posts. Am I doing it wrong? Or is my 200-ish post count normal? It's not that I cheer whenever my number goes up, but I get worried when all of these people have such ginormous post counts.

I wish there were a way to hide the numbers.

 

[Renteura]

I don't really care, especially when I have a bit of a low postcount and I don't treat people who have a few times more than me that much different, besides the case of a mod. :P

That sentence doesn't make very much sense either. I need to work on my grammar and stuffs.

ummmm your 200ish post count means that you've posted 200ish times. That's not a sign of anything; definitely not of "doing it wrong". (Also most people with 2000+ posts make a good deal of them in Forum Games.)

LIES

MY POSTS WERE
... MADE WHILE SHOUTING AT PEOPLE FOR BEING WRONG
that's so much more valid

 

[Tarvos]

no you're you that makes everything valid by default

see it only gets better

 

[Harlequin]

Postcount does not matter in any sort of meaningful way. It is an amusing statistic that means "I have posted x many times". It is of no value other than that.

 

[surskitty]

Post count counts posts.

I have few thoughts on it other than that. :3

 

[Tailsy]

And you don't think about the fact that you have 2,072 of them ever ??? :o

 

[surskitty]

Hey, it could be worse.


We could be counting my posts from all incarnations of this forum.

... kill me now

 

[Tailsy]

It'd be like, 15k or something.

YOU HAVE NO LIFE

~NONE~

 

[Brocco Guy]

The only reason I care is to get the cool Butterfree thingy.

 

[surskitty]

It'd be like, 15k or something.

YOU HAVE NO LIFE

~NONE~

I think it'd be a bit closer to 20k, but I don't remember my vB version 1 postcount.... ~800 for Conforums, ~3500 for IF, and whatever the hell my current post count is.


I. I don't want to think about it okay.

 

[Harlequin]

Oh surskittles. You and your excessive posting!

 

[surskitty]

It's only mostly excessive.

I normally wouldn't care about post count, but a LONG time ago I was on the old Nsider (which closed September, last year), and they were BIG on post count. Like, you couldn't post pictures directly (i.e. without a link), meaning no picture sigs, until around 2,000 posts. Even then, your sig could only be 50 pixels tall. And you couldn't edit your posts until you had 7,500 posts, and you couldn't delete your posts until you reached around 12,380. Finally, you're rank peaks out at "Plumber," which is like 38,600 posts (who has enough time on their hands to post THAT much, anyway?), and what do you get as a reward? You get to make your sig 90 pixels tall. Fwee... -_-

So it's because of that that I have an appreciation for post count. Wow, that rant felt good to finally get out.

 

[Dewgong]

nah i don't really care aaand you shouldn't either

post count doesn't make you smarter or have authority over people etc. so

 

[Tarvos]

hey tailsy i like your signature

i came into this thread so my postcount would go up by one

 

[ultraviolet]

And you couldn't edit your posts until you had 7,500 posts,

what, not even to edit typos? (what kind of stupid rule is that anyway?)
