Inspiration? I don't even know how I post this much.

Boredom?

Boredom?

Inability not to comment on others comments?

Oh-my-God, CROTHIAN'S DISEASE IS COMMUNICABLE!

Oh-my-God, CROTHIAN'S DISEASE IS COMMUNICABLE!

And spreading like wildfire.

Not to me I have entered a Zen like state where number of posts no longer matters.
It should last at least another day.

...are people reading PbP games for fun?

I am. Pretty sure some others are.
Was one of those two games perhaps Tokiwong's Generation Legacy? 'Cause that was like the Piratecat's Story Hour of PbP gaming.

Maybe I find it entertaining to talk about roleplaying and other random things?

... Nah, makes too much sense. I must be diseased.

*cough, cough, hack, hack*

The only board I visit that is higher is rpg.net. I copied Ghostwind's post about Hero Games here into Open and even though the number of posts here was usually 5-10 higher than mine, it only had 1/2 the hits (mine has 182 replies and 7670 views).

There are long running threads with 1000+ post and 50,000+ views there. I think "Boost your Status" at 18,000+ replies and 68,000 views is the current leader since the database ate the last one.

Wow, that's less than four views per post.

I meant for the total post count. The reason that thread has such a low posts to view ratio is because people mostly go there to post. Others that have a higher ratio that are just on the front page of Tangency:

Wak's hot chick thread (1167; 66,041), Ross' photo thread (1277;53,836) Sarah's rumor thread (8865; 42,089) and Teucer's Cliffnotes (533; 22,998).
