Post count- Why do we care?

[Crothian]

No. I can count on one hand the number of times I've been ignored since then, whereas before I was rarely ever not ignored.

no you can't...yyou don't know if you were being ignore, if some one missed the post, or if they just felt they didn't need to reply to your post. You have no way of knowing the motives of the other people unless they specific tell you they ignored your post. You are reading way to much into things.

Very funny! Unfortuantely, I do not have a ton of time to read and post (for instance this is definitely the most posts in a thread I have had outside of story hour, rogue's gallery or pbp) and I'm pretty sure it was above my two-page limit by the time I saw it. I read it long enough to read how the title got changed. LOL

Heh, that guy was a meanie. We were seriously going to bring the argument full-circle back to the vampire (and we did too!)

I never see any of Hyp's posts unless someone quotes him.

You're ignoring Hypersmurf? Man, you are curmudgeony!

Perhaps we think of ignore in different ways. I don't mean ignore as in "I don't like you and so I'm going to not read this" like an ignore list. I mean ignore as in they don't pay attention to it because it doesn't seem important to them, possibly skipping over it and missing my comment, as you suggested.

Crothian OTOH, has a lot of posts, but I don't weigh his opinion on any specific topic more than anyone else, really. Although if anyone has their finger on the pulse of gaming and d20, he does. Look at how many books he's reviewed for crying out loud. That alone makes him an expert in this area.

That is where posts actually come in use, when by reading them of people you can tell what they are good at and what they are not. I'm okay with the rules, but no expert. But I do probably read through more off the beaten path books so to speak that others don't know about.

Ball's in my court! I will try to get to it tonight- I'm pushing my limit at work right now with this thread!


Maybe I'll get at it anyway!

not everyone reads ever post of a thread, I just think you seem to be taken offense where there is no offense intended.

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.

Now, if I am going to get into a thread I feel I need to read every post. That's why if a thread is of a certain length I will not try to get into it.
