According to my post count vs my quote count it's up and around 60%...

Pretty high I guess... I don't seem to offend many people either so I must be saying something right...

It seems like it's becoming less and less often of late. Possibly because I don't post as much these days. Doesn't seem as magical as when I first joined.
Same for me. I used to get quoted a lot, but it's happening less and less these days.
Same here, the only thing my inbox is full of is messages from the groups.

Damn, I need to post more often...

About 35% ish.

As much as I hate to admit it, I always die a bit on the inside when I make a good post and it isn't quoted.. I hate my attention whorey ways.

so, as i looked at my inbox that another couple of my posts were quoted, i wondered: How often do people notice they are quoted..?
And i think there ought to be some sort of achievement for making x number of quotable posts..
..crap, this makes me sound like an achievement-whore.
Goes well with the other post I saw on that guy who beat every WOW achievement! LOL! *Randomness here!! (Or is it??)

Something like 11-20%, and I'd also say that's true for a lot of people who have said "21-40%" in this topic - though I guess I'm not them so my judgement might be off.

Incidentally, your topic touches on of the two things I consider to be an actual problem on this forum - it's anonymity. There's a lot of interesting people making interesting points around here, but I've got a feeling that 9 out of 10 posts are simply ignored. And good actual discussions don't happen as much as they could. It's specifically visible in threads regarding to music - people just post their favourite/most awesome/whatever songs and ignore every other post in the topic, unless somebody happened to have posted a song they were planning to put up in the first place. Nobody seems to even take the time to listen to eachother's songs or turn the thread into an actual discussion instead of just a random list with songs. I guess this isn't per definition bad, and I realize I contribute to this phenomenom just as well, but it can be kind of... 'depressing' if you make a good point or contribution to a thread and are completely annoyed.

Oh well.
I used to get quoted a lot. Apparently my novelty has worn off.
This can only mean one thing. I need a new shiny thing to grab your attentions.
*pulls out a sleigh bell*
It's festive, too!

Don't worry, Neonbob. I'm sure Max is a worn-out, Escapist whore too.

I'm a boring person who doesn't post much. But I'm occasionally quoted.

Worn out? From this site?! NEVER.

just about 40%
When i see a Quoted message in my inbox it makes me feel like i said something smart, unfortunately about half of the time its just some fanboy bashing me about something i said or my view on a subject.
sigh....so its come to a point where its nice but, if its not by someone i know(IE on my friends list) or the topic i was Quoted in could be considered Flammable, then ill just skip it.

Well, seeing as I've spent most of my last 200 or so posts in forum games, I haven't been quoted a lot lately. If it helps, I've been quoted 405 times.

Depends how many people I offend.
Ayup, this. I have many annoying/controversial opinions and I don't like great many things and I do speak my mind. Also I'm lazy reading my posts to see if I have written something in a way that it means something I didn't mean it to mean. Man that sounds dumb.

a good majority of my posts. More so in the topics I don't want to talk about more than my one post. I don't know how people always know when I don't want to talk about a topic because 95% of the time I am quoted I don't want to talk about the topic anymore.

I'm kinda in the same boat

I'd say about 10-20%. My posting has slowed down to almost a complete stop, (due to me being lazy) but I've been posting more lately so maybe it'll pick up.
