[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 2107740, member: 18701"] I actually disagree with that. As someone who has a low post count but lurks everyday, I've put that to a test. I used to frequent a MMORPG forum a few years ago where I had the highest post count and was one of the "popular" guys on the forum. No matter what I would post, I'd have at [B]least[/B] one person quote and reply to me in any thread. I noticed here that whenever I post, I don't get many replies. If I start a new thread, there's always replies to the original post which is nice, but it seems like pity replies just so the thread doesn't sink with 0 replies. I get that feeling because if I respond after the initial post, the only people to respond back are other low post count people (which is never many). The [I]regulars[/I] never seem to respond again. But, when the [I]regulars[/I] post on any thread, people will quote and respond to them over & over. Not that I'm complaining, I understand how communities work and Enworld is the friendliest rpg forum I've visited. I get what I'm looking for on Enworld in the end. I just chuckle when high post count people always claim that post counts mean nothing. I've heard that so many times over the years and it's [B]always[/B] from people with high post counts :p They mean something, because people usually pay more attention to what the regular posters have to say and people will respond directly to them time & time again. This thread is a good example....Hong posts nonsense that has nothing to do with the thread, but provides a nice off-the-wall chuckle to readers. Yet, he'll always be quoted by another reader and responded to in some way or another. If I were to do that, no one would respond :cool: But anyway, anyone who leaves Enworld should reconcider. RPGers are some of the most arrogant & annoying posters on the net, but at least on Enworld the posters reply more mature and respectful. Grammar Nazi's are the least of your problems on other rpg forums. [/QUOTE]
