• 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?

Lonely Thread

Because I like statistics - because of this, I also like them to be accurate. Why is this so hard to grasp?

I don't know, I'd rather have an accurate statistic of how many vaguely interesting posts I've made other than just posting numbers.
 
Post count is a statistic; attaching meaning to it is dumb. I approve of having forum games posts count because it herds a lot of the posts made entirely for count into one forum that doesn't produce productive or interesting posts anyway.
 
When did this go from "lonliness" to "postcount discussion"?

Yes, it get's lonely here sometimes, just me, my echoing caveified voice, and the Giant Dragonflies...
 
At night I get lonely because of my timezone but in the morning I'm not so lonely. The big forum crash seems to have scared away many people who maybe thought TCOD forums were down. Post count matters none, I go to forum games if I'm bored or if I changed my avatar or sig and want to see how people like it.
 
Can I ask what's so wrong about posts counting towards post count in the Forum Games board? Yes, maybe the posts don't require as much intellect as one would need should he or she post elsewhere, but who cares? It doesn't matter if someone has just posted an essay explaining what time is or if someone else has just posted three digits to rate someone's avatar. They're still posts.

Do some of you realise how ridiculous you're sounding right now? If you don't care about post count, then don't care about. Don't say that post count shouldn't be counted in this board or that board because the posts there require little or no thought. No one is forcing you to look up at the numbers that show up on the screen when someone posts.

It's actually funny, 'cause a lot of people say they don't care about post count when they really do. If you didn't care about post count, you wouldn't bother having it removed from a board because it would make no difference to you, right?

And no, I never get lonely here. There's always ten or more people online at one time with me.
 
Well...yeah.

I get lonely here at times, usually at night. So then I get offline and do something else. :)

I think postcount should be turned off in the games section.

No.

If game posts are not worthy of being counted as posts, then they are worthless and should not be allowed in the first place.

So make all of your posts vaguely interesting.
 
Aww... no ones on.... I might have to *Gulp* revive an old forum game or two.
 
I like the idea of post count, because it gives members an idea of who is a veteran member, one you can look up to and one who always posts good, quality posts.

Of course, that vision is totally skewed when the highest posters got there by posting "you're banned for WEARING UNDERWEAR LOLOL RANDOMOSITY" x 5000 in Forum Games.
 
yeah because it's not for conversation, there's no topic of discussion

which is silly because that's what forums are for
 
Its not that I don;t want them, a LOT of people go on them but not as FUCKING many! there are WAY too many games, I admit some are very fun to play like never ending D/P Cheat and a few others but there are too many games, which draws away from more interesting threads on the forums.
