Why the heck does Random–*ahem*–LING still have (no, wait, he has 67 now) 66 posts?

[Crothian]

Piratecat did it. I swear, it must have been Piratecat.

Or crothian.

Ya, I have that kind of power.

If i were a betting man, i'd finger Darkness before anyone else, but realistically it's either a glitch or something that was done for a ligit reason. I don't think it's that big a deal, it's just kinda wierd and mysterious.

. . . And 1374 after.

Wow, none of those [hivemind] posts increased anyone's postcount. That's at least six or so thousand unacounted for posts . . .

Although I think you are joking, I'd like to point out that the [Hivemind] threads did count until recently.



Plus, post count means nothing.

It might be in response to my What does Postcount mean to you? thread. Who knows. Does it really matter? Should we really try to rationalize the doings of the greater beings of the boards?

 

[Knight Otu]

Maybe it was. Did you start it before the post count in Meta was frozen?

And as I said, I'm kind of glad about it. No more accusing that we're just hiveminding for the post count bumping. (Not that I'm the most active hivemind member...)

Now if we were forced to say postcount is a metaphor for something, what would it be?

 

[Knight Otu]

Time spent on the boards?

 

[arwink]

Gotta say, I'd be perfectly happy for hivemind threads not to count towards postcount.

And postcount isn't a metaphor, unless you want to call it a measure of time and dedication to the boards

 

[Knight Otu]

I'll second arwink! (Or did he second me?)

 

[randomling]

I'm still trying to add to my postcount....!

OK, testing, 1, 2, 3. Let's see if I can get above 66 with this post. And one in General Discussion.

Hurm!
