Screw you, nub. I've been around longer. That's the REAL dick hat. It means nothing, can lend a ludicrous sense of false superiority, and you can't change it, so when someone comes along who trumps you, you can't do anything except deflect attention, look sheepish, and shut the hell up. Kudos to Cheesy, in that regard.PurpleRain said:
Post counts are meh. If you need the help of a number to tell you how much you should listen to someone, then you need help. If someone builds up 500 posts in two days with nothing but meaningless crap, the fact that they have nothing worthwhile to say is usually a more reliable measure of how stupid they are, more than their ridiculous post count.
the post counter is just a number underneath yoru avatar that means nothing. all forums have some form of a post counter. its not really anything to care about and the funny thing is, people do
and the post count/join date ratio doesnt appply to all, some people...moslty me if my ratio is hiigh i really dont know but
1 I am not just trying to get my count up
2 Golf just ended so I have nothing to do
3 I am not saying anyone said this about me but this is a Bush defense (attack them before they attack you...and since I hate Bush I guess I am now a hypocrite...damn)
o yes, and sometimes lurking isn't lurking, someone makes a point or says somethign and you have something to say back.

Not that I hang around a lot of forums, but this is the first time I've ever seen such a post counter. And I don't really care about it too much - it is a bit fun, it's sort of akin to your level in an rpg - but it never figures into my evaluation of an individual post. I just thought it'd be interesting to see what everyone else thought.the monopoly guy said:
That's the spirit! Now let's all watch [http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtRNIckKrvU] something to be happy about all together.
You thought I was being serious? Isn't it more likely that I was joking, than making such a big deal over something as meaningless as post counts or join dates? I'd find it difficult to believe that somebody could be quite that petty, myself. To be honest, I find it hard to see how my post could be taken as insulting.Anarchemitis said:
Hmm... it's probably a good idea... as long as you don't get people going "w00t 100th post!!!" all the time[/irony] (and yes, I do know that this will only be true if I were to never post again, and yes I was sad enough to wait until my 100th post to post on this thread)...
w00t 75th post!!!1 wait...damn thats sorta a land mark number. I was just trying to be redundant. the post counter isn't an issue unless people make it one and anyone that uses it to try and show dominance and those people...well they have problems of their own. so next time someone does that be nice and give them an m&m
and that video was amazing

Even though I mentioned mr cheeze of having the highest post count, I remember him/ her saying that it was due to them posting on the Warcry forums, and not The Escapist. So, technically, mr cheeze has no time superiority here... I believe it's Cheeze Pavilion (sp?) (sorry, I don't know who it is. Could someone please correct me if I'm wrong about who's the oldest?).Break said:
On another BBS I used to frequent, after a certain point, you could pick your own designation, which was fun.
I think the post counts are and should be directly proportional to your influence on the forums. The more time you waste here, the more say you should have.
However, that also means that my opinion matters little, so no one should care what I say.
