[QUOTE="IronWolf, post: 2419568, member: 21076"] I think Dave put it well. People come to EN World for different things, some to PbP, some to help answer Rules questions, some to talk about Movies and Books, some to talk about d20 gaming in general and some to socialize with online friends in Off-Topic. For some post count is important, for others not so much. In either case it is an online community where everyone comes for one reason for another. If post count isn't your thing (and I am not saying it should be) I don't see why we should necessarily say it is a bad thing. It just might not be the the reason you come to this online community. From what I have seen most of the more or less obvious posts to simply increase post count occur in the Off-Topic Forum. Of course there is also some very decent discussion that goes on in that forum about items that are off-topic. The main place one sees high rates of conversational posting are in the hivemind. That's easy enough to not read if you have no interest in it. Off-Topic is really a place that seems like it is a place to let your hair down so to speak, which is a good thing in my opinion, a valuable part of this community. If mulitple replies in a row is an issue, then perhaps we should politely remind people of the netiquette of replying in a single post with multiple quotes in that post to reduce "clutter". This may do the most to alleviate any hard feelings. ::shrug:: I guess I am saying this is an online community. Some things will happen that you like and some things will happen that you don't. Even if post count isn't important to you, it doesn't necessarily mean we should spoil the fun of those who come here for that reason (especially since it appears to be contained to the Off-Topic Forum).
