Postcount!

[surskitty]

Out of curiosity! Do you ever make posts mostly for postcount++?


I used to sometimes but I stopped ... a while before Now Playing stopped existing. Never really in Forum Games.

 

[Phoenixsong]

No.

(++)

I have never cared about my postcount. why would you? o.o

 

[surskitty]

I'd get bored and someone else would want to postcount++ so we'd spam Now Playing.

 

[Blastoise Fortooate]

Nah, I don't think I ever did. I used to actually care a good bit about my count, though, but now I just go 'oh look I have x number of posts now'.

 

[Vipera Magnifica]

No. At least not consciously.

You have a lot of posts in Forum Games....

I like the postcount and want to be a Butterfree, but I don't care for it. I just think of it as my little status update on how many posts I've had. If it ever gets removed I won't have a fit over it. I do like it telling me how many posts I've accumulated, but just for it to keep track of them.

Touché. Call me a hypocrite if you want, but I only post there because I enjoy casual socializing. Not that one or two word posts are really "socializing", but it's a nice icebreaker nonetheless.

I used to slightly care. Provided 1000+ posts were in Forum Games, I mainly dominated Forum Games for leisurely enjoyment rather than postcount. Also, I get bored easily...

 

[....]

Not really.

My only postcount++ consists of 4 posts in Forum Games.

 

[Not Meowth]

Nope.

hey did I mention I have the second-highest post count on the whole forum yaaaaay

 

[Butterfree]

I never even really look at my post count. :/

I got your postcount when it was epic:

/derailed

I suppose one thing that could be added - provided it doesn't cause 500 errors - is make it so you can turn off yours and others' postcounts in the options.

... I wasn't even bringing up the topic of hiding postcounts... Also I find it funny that no one's voted for yes even though the poll's private and there are a few people who I'd count as going for postcount++.

 

[Negrek]

Postcount++ may have been more popular back in the days when postcount-based adoptables were more of a fad around here (even *I* used to have a few!). I care about it only in the sense that I sometimes feel kinda bad that like half my posts are something like "approved" or "no" or something similarly contributory.

 

[Superbird]

Not anymore, since I became a Butterfree. But all I'm saying is that, if Forum Games is deleted, I'm back to just over 1,000 posts.

 

[shy ♡]

No. And the entire attitude of postcount++ bugs the hell out of me. Superbird is really making me hate the whole caterpie/metapod/butterfree thing.

why do you keep mentioning this? it's not as though it's a huge tragedy or something. it doesn't even matter if you have just over a thousand posts; postcount means nothing aside from how many posts you've made. there are people here who have been here way longer than you who don't have nearly as much postcount. if you lose a lot of posts because FG gets deleted, all it shows is that you post a hell of a lot in FG.

I'm puzzled as to why people actually care what rank they have. it's like people thinking it's absolutely awesome that they have a thousand steps on their pedometer after wearing it for six months. ?_?

Ranks make people feel special. Reality is the only ranks that matter in a forum are "Guest", "Validating", "Member", "Local Moderator", "Global Moderator", and "Admin".

No. And the entire attitude of postcount++ bugs the hell out of me. Superbird is really making me hate the whole caterpie/metapod/butterfree thing.

This is why I suggested the hide postcount option. Then people who are annoyed by postcount can go about the forums in bliss.
