Post count- Why do we care?

[Darth K'Trava]

but Hypersmurf has the reputation and track record. he's been around longer and his opinion will bear more weight. It will be that way even if when you have a similar postcount.

I think it's more that he writes intelligent posts, moreso than the fact that he has alot of posts.

 

[Darth K'Trava]

I didn't take offense, I am merely stating a fact. Its quite clear that not everyone reads every post in the thread, they don't have all the time. But when push comes to shove and they have to pick which ones to read, they wouldn't read mine until I got a higher postcount. I don't disagree with anything you've said here except your initial premise that I was wrong about the number of posts leading to a different likelihood of being ignored.

I read all posts, unless they're a mile long and one long run-on paragraph which makes them hard to read. Those I skip over.

I may not reply to all of them, but I do read them!

I also will read all the posts (unless its Hivemind, since I learned better--in fact that was one reason I had never done Hivemind for a while) first. In fact, that was why it took me months to contribute to shilsen's paladin thread: not enough time to read it all.

I don't even bother with it as it's waaay too long and so old that most of it is probably out of date by now.

 

[Darth K'Trava]

Read them, yes (if they are long I skim). Reply to them, depends. More apt to reply to higher postcounts, yes.

If I need to say something, then I hit "reply". Other than that, I just read and move on, high or low postcount, it doesn't matter. It shouldn't really; we all were there once ourselves. No need to be like prissy old Torm and get all uppity (like he did earlier in this thread)...

You know, I don't really care about postcount. I just created a 2K posts thread because, eh, I wanted the 2000'th post to be special. So, in a way, I care and don't care at the same time. Only for special occasions, and I'm not competetive about these things. Is anyone really that competetive?

Demiurge out.

Yeah, even though I did a 1000th post thread it wasn't all that important to me, just a bit of fun, and as I've turned into a much more regular poster here now (of my 1,500 posts probably 1000+ were this year, the other 18 months I rarely posted here).

Now I'm much more interested in building up my review count and I keep away from the hivemind threads as too many posts too little time.

 

[Darth K'Trava]

And I decided with the proliferation of 1k and 2k threads to hold off until I reach 3k posts.

 

[fett527]

I think if I ever reach 5K that might be a thing to celebrate. Right now I'm posting much more often, so I may reach that in 5- 10 years.

Darth K'Trava, do you realize that, aside from Rystil's brief pause, you posted SEVENTEEN times in a row?

Back away from the keyboard...
