Post count- Why do we care?

[diaglo]

I do want people to feel I participate. Do you think postcount lends to the validity of your response to someone? Does it give your opinion more weight?

yes and no. if you reply 6 times to one thread vs. 1 time in another.

it may mean you have more to say. or show more interest in that thread. so it may mean your words lend more. or it could mean you are in a flamewar with someone... but that is another topic.


so topics like the one with 6 posts... lets call it a topic on minis.

may mean people will start to look for your posts on all topics about minis. to get your opinion.

Also, I've noticed that people with low post counts or that are very new tend to be ignored more.

Yup.

He doesn't do that every day, or even nearly so. At times, I've made 250+ posts in a day before, too. It happens.

Though he certainly does post a lot.

how can anyone make 200+ posts in a day - I think my peak has been about 40-50, which seemed a lot!

Eh... heh. I post a lot, but I don't particularly care. I think it's just neat. Also, I've noticed that people with low post counts or that are very new tend to be ignored more.

And, sure, my ppd rate is high, but Rystil's is about 50% higher than mine.

I agree about the ignoring thing. Everybody ignored me about 90% of the time until I got more posts.

Suuuuure Quoting me and saying you're ignoring me is the kind of ignoring I like better

Sure I have. If 900 of my first 1000 posts were ignored in my first two months, its no different than if fett, who's been here for 3 years, had 900 of his 1000 posts ignored over the spread of 3 years.
