It's called an Escapist Circle Jerk. They happen a lot in threads that drift off their original intention.
Yes, I've been in several. Like the one in that thread "Are you Famous?"

You could also go Gonzo by waiting and being here for 5 or 6 months. That's how I, and most of the other Gonzo's did it.
Yes, but a lot of folks don't like to wait. They want to be Gonzo as soon as possible, and in their race to get posts, they screw up bad and get permabanned (yes, I'm talking about superpandaman)

That's pretty much how I did it... that and I developed an addiction to this site...and my job got boring at about the same time...oh god...why can't I stop.

Yeah, that's pretty much what happened to me. My classes got unbearably boring, and I hit the summer game slump, so I started posting more. And more. And now I can't STOP!

I don't think that post count really matters. Ive been demeaned for have under 100 posts, but still contribute to the escapist with good ideas. Judge not by post count but the what the post says.

Again, I'm the exception to the rule.
So is Eggo. And What does Gonzo mean?

It's a style of journalism in which the reporter is a part of the story. Like, if it's a story about wine making, the reporter would be helping to make the wine.

Nothing can help an Escapist addiction. Nothing.

Except a ban.

Considering The Escapist is not the only forum site (although it is the best, in my opinion) it'd be best let everyone have a say, because some of us go to different forum sites.

Edit--And the posts we make altogether, do add up.

Nah, I want to know how to get 5,000+ posts like Root.
Have a job & family that make you want to break things and channel it all onto the page. :)

And I'm nowhere near the top poster yet.
You'll always be the top poster for us, root :D
