Post count- Why do we care?

[Desdichado]

Speaking of Hong, where is he? I haven't seen him 'round these parts for a while.

He got a job or something like that. I guess he found his free-wheeling grad student and ENWorld postin' days were at an end.

Of course, I post much, much more from work than anywhere else. If I had time to be out doing other things than going to work, my posts would probably essentially all dry up.

Care about post counts? Naw, I just want to dethrone Crothian At the rate I'm going, it'll be about five years after he passes away.

What, are you going on a quest to destroy him? Oozes don't easily pass away.

Even those don't pass easily, though.

I post 98% of my posts from work as well.

And having nothing to do at the office will do wonders for your post count. Which was my situation for the first 3 months of this year. I also spent a large amount of that time writing for ICE, so at least I made it profitable for me.

I don't really. I just found the occasion of my 1,000th a good excuse to launch a thread in which to babble about anything and everything.

Oh, and it makes a lovely way to harass Crothian.

Or harass Torm!

But then we all harass Crothian.....

Maybe we should have Michael translate the postcount tag into a character level?

So people would show up as 3rd level, or 2nd level or whatever. That would be kind of neat.

That'd be neat...

Yeah, Jdvn1 has one of the highest PPDs that I've seen.

To answer the question: I started my 1000 posts thread more out of curiosity, to see if anybody really cared or even noticed me, as I had posted 1000 times, all in General, Rules, and House Rules, without anyone knowing who I was and with the majority of my posts simply ignored and not replied.

I did mine for the sheer heck of it.... and the fact that others were doing it as well. It became one of the longest, if not the longest, one that I've seen in my relatively short tenure here.
