LOL!

Nifft, everytime I see your avatar, and then think of the excellent psionics material you write...

I think of the Lost Penguin Colony from Portable Hole. How I love those mad, psionic awakened penguins.

Very true. The worst problem is that Postcount = Postcount + 1

Or Postcount+=1.

I think it's to cut down on spammers, actually. Also, they (the mods as well as others) tend to frown upon people posting for the sake of posting and increasing postcount.

I don't frown on people, but I generally don't post on threads which seem to have little purpose other than to increase postcount. I also see people making replies in a row, each having a single line, and that annoys me. I'm not saying I could ever match Crothian nor do I really care about that, but if I wanted to increase my count somewhat quickly, that's what I'd do. I can say that very few of my posts are just some stupid little comment and that I have put at least a little thought into what I am saying, like this reply, for example.

There are too many threads which are too long and seem to have too little point to them on the boards. Honestly, number of posts means nothing to me. What I find means something to me is how often I see people with helpful/good/interesting things to say.

May the thread to increase postcount continue.

All threads are "to increase postcount"

Well, I didn't mean to name names. I don't particularly care, for example. If people want to increase their postcount, that's their business. I think it's silly, but if they think it's fun, then that's cool.

I've had posts in a row with a single line, but it's usually because it's a Hivemind thread and posts tend to be more conversational there. Give-and-take... most conversations (I think) aren't composed of paragraphs of people talking, but a few sentences at best. That being said, I think a lot of one-line posts are kind of useless, but if they entertain someone, then that's justifiable. These forums are meant to entertain as much as they are to inform. If I wasn't having fun on these boards, I wouldn't be here. Also, just because a person posts a one-line posts doesn't mean the poster is just trying to increase his postcount.

Number of posts mean very little to me (if I notice someone has a low postcount, I'll sometimes try to welcome the person or take care to reply to his post... I want lurkers to feel welcome here too), and I don't understand why people get upset about people increasing postcount if they actually didn't care.

Yes...

It's in an AWARD WINNING free product that I wrote, in fact.

Hang on, I'll get you a link. Very proud of this one, although it's written with 3.0 stats, not 3.5
