Post count- Why do we care?

[diaglo]

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

should i change my title?

hong was first on my list. and taught me the value of using it.

Hyp wasn't that far behind.

but i knew him from the WotC boards.

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 agree, even though I will read all posts in a thread I am more apt to skim over the lower postcount members and respond to the higher postcounts.

::nods:: This trend is all I am saying Crothian. I'm not saying that ENWorlders don't like low-post people, or want to be mean to them or something.

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

And as I've stated, that's not true. I don't like not reading all posts in a thread. I can't stand when someone reads the first post in a thread and responds without reading the other posts and just repeats what's been said already.

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 read all of the posts in a thread i'm interested in.

of course, some people are on my ignore list. so i don't read those mostly.

so low post count usually means i read your posts.

Diaglo is backwards in more than just his retro-style gaming!

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

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