Catch up to Crothian!

[Darth K'Trava]

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.

Ain't that the truth!! But then I'd still like postcounts to still accrue here unlike the WOTC boards where Meta and Off-Topic don't increase post counts there.

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.

Not to mention when some of us play "catch up" with our posting. One should be glad that those of us don't respond to EVERY post we're catching up on.....

I remember one time on the WOTC boards when they were really sloooowww... that someone ended up with 52(!) identical posts in a row!!! The mods still didn't delete all of them!!! The person had just kept hitting the "submit" button when the board wouldn't respond quickly enough for them.

I'm not upset with people doing that; I just don't see the real point in it. By the way, I'm sorry if my previous post turned into somewhat of a minor rant. I was trying to make a point, then got distracted.

Also, I don't mind one liners, it's when a person makes three one-liner posts in a row, as I said. There's a person in this thread who is an example, but I, of course, am too polite to name any names: you know who you are. But I'm only annoyed until something else distracts me, which is...ooh a cat.

So how many threads have been started because of Crothian's postcount? It is quite a popular subject among the EnWorlderites. Are we in the triple digits yet?

I do it only to make my posts easier to read. I don't care too much for long posts with lots of replies to various people in one post. Makes it harder to read, IMO.

Dunno. I'm pretty new to the off-topic forum, m'self. And only really encountered Croth here in this section of the boards. Same goes with Torm and a few others. I know they post in various areas of the boards but I ran into them first here.

Spiffy psionic penguins! I like the setup very very much!

Glad you like them. They were a lot of fun to write, and fun to use.

As it states in the article, they are the left-overs of an old joke in our game when a character picked up a polar bear as an animal companion, abandonning her prior animal companions for him.

I have started to notice my postcount I guess it has been everyone else talking about it. It is addictive behaviour. I went as far as using my neighbors unsecure wireless connection to get on to read and post. Heck I had eye surgery on saturday and was trying to read the site that day.

Silly Aeson... you don't need to read to post!

it helps or you post a reply that makes no sense or has nothing to do with the topic.

I was wondering can I get a few extra on my post count for my devotion?
