Countin Post Count

[Crothian]

I still think that Crothian is ENWorld and ENWorld is Crothian.

I picture Michael Morris going to update the surver and ENWorld talking back to him in Crothian's voice:

"Mike... What do you think you're doing..."

no...that is not what happens at all...honest...I am a person...my server, I mean heart beats fine.

Postcount is just a measure of how much free time you have on your hands.

Not really, it can also measure how one's boss doesn't pay as much attention to what one is doing.

Good lord, folks. Have any of you ever visited PlanetBaldursGate? Obsession with post counts can become a rather sickening thing. I can point to several Gamespy sites where racing to be the bestest of the best in re: post counts has lead to an absolute absence of whatever it was that made the site worth visiting in the first place.

That said,

Post Count +1

HTH

True, but around here, at least for me, I treat it as a joke. I find it very amusing and the mods and admins would really put their foot down if they saw people posting for the sake of posting.

Well I have lots of time on my hands, at least until Gradschool starts again - 10 days and counting.
but I still need 30 more posts before I get onto page 27 and that is assuming that nobody nearby is posting a lot at the moment.
Once school starts I will no longer have 2+hrs per day to read and post
*tangent*
ooo mabey ill start a story hour - How not to beat the city of the spider queen.
or is 1 death per session normal?

 

[Evilhalfling]

i mean 7 days - where does the time go?

Yeppers, I have faith in ENWorlds mods. Most sites I see that have the mega-posters have become slaves to their OT forums. ENWorld is far from that. As I noted already some weeks back in a related thread, most of ENWorlds high-post-count folks came about them out of love and passion for the game.

I cannot imagine this forums OT ever outstripping the regular forums. And that makes it damned special.

Post count +1, evilhalfling.

Hmm. Page two of most posts. Interesting.

Aaah, I remember the far off days when I was a newbie and Crothian's postcount was only about five thousand...

 

[Greylock]

My experience on other boards has been that the first 200 to 400 posts seem like an uphill struggle. But once that point is reached, many folks just go atmospheric. Guess it has something to do with reaching a comfort level in a given forum.

The 200 - 400 is relative. In a lower traffic forum that might be 100 posts. For ENWorld, it could possibly be higher, but I am basing that on the number of 500 counters from the mentioned list who are seemingly AWOL.

Lookee, I'm on page 14! Wheeeeeeee!
