• 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?

Postcount!

I don't really ever post for the sole reason of increasing that number. Mostly I just post when I feel confident enough to say something. I don't like posting if I have nothing worth saying. It feels like a waste.

I'll admit that I do feel a small sense of satisfaction when I see the number increase. But just because somebody feels that, does not mean they are all OH MY GOD POST COUNT MUST POST TO MAKE NUMBER GO UP SO OBSESSED. I don't mind if it decreases, just feel a bit mildly disappointed. But I only ever post in Forum Games out of loneliness and boredom and because I enjoy the casual environment. Don't post so often now, but that's mainly out of laziness.

Also, I don't mind if others care about it, as long as they make good quality posts and aren't all OH MY GOD POST COUNT DETERMINES MY STATUS AS A MEMBER. All extremely and exaggeratedly like that.
 
I used to be obsessed about postcount and posting in forum games and making sure I posted in as many places as possible. Now I just post somewhere if I actually feel like posting. There are quite a few days that I simply never post now, which is good. I haven't done anything in Forum Games in at least a year.

Actually, really the only time I posted in Forum Games and got a massive post count boost I was having an interesting conversation simultaneously with a few other people. I think it was one of those "Count to 1000" threads or something.
 
We should turn postcount off entirely and become a forum full of equality where postcount is a thing of the past! VIVE LA REVOLUTION!
 
Yes, but it's a thread started by a mod who loves the

button. Sometimes.

I think I have a reputation of loving the button, anyway.
 
If I'm 1 post off 100 or something, I'll post with something that I wouldn't really be that bothered about normally. I don't go around posting stupid stuff willy-nilly because I MUST HAVE THIS MANY POSTS, my stupid stuff comes about because that's all I really write about.
 
Be lucky we don't have any Spanish mods, or that infraction button would be very trigger-happy!

/... outdated World Cup joke
 
I used to post just for post count ++++++, but I was only like that right when I started out, and right when I was at about 900-ish posts. Now I just post at a normal level.
 
I try to avoid posting for the sake of the post counter. A person should be judged on the contents of their posts and not by the quantity of posts that they have.

(RTB, is your sig supposed to say "undereath the tree" or is it meant to be "underneath"?)
 
I don't but I voted yes because I thought the "yes" column was feeling lonely u.u

it's like people thinking it's absolutely awesome that they have a thousand steps on their pedometer after wearing it for six months.
