Gods, I tell ya!
Nah, but really. It just makes me think they've been here a lot longer than I have.

I've only exceeded 1000 posts on one forum. On that forum, it took me 6 years to acquire 2110 posts. I'd say that roughly 90% of those posts were pointless spam. In spite of that, I probably spammed the least of anyone there since there's only one admin and he hasn't done any moderating in years.

The only thing I care about is their post content. Also, if someone posts often (JulianKing93, Sassafras, Furburt, IdealistCommi), then I recognise the name, but will still think they're being a dick if they make a dickish post.
They have high post counts = they visit fairly regularly.
That's it. I don't care how high their post counts are.

I also suspect their opinions on things will not always be well thought-out, considering such people often post for the sake of posting.

I only think that they have way to much time on their hands if they started only a few months ago.
The ones with supercrazy post counts, like MaxtheReaper (now banned, though he's clearly reading), Furburt, Pararaptor, Hubilub, NeonBob, Captain Obvious etc. all have posted a lot in a short space of time, and so they pop up a lot in every thread.
Through this, they build up recognisability with the rest of the community, and as such they're noticed even more, because now they're a personality
People look up to 'em because they've got the kind of communal notoriety everyone privately seeks

It's all about the content of their posts. The only thing that gets my goat is the F5ers, who always seem to get first posts in a lot of threads. I can imagine them tapping he button at their keyboard, and being overcome with joy when a new subject arises that they can type two lines into, whether the topic of the thread is meritous or not.
There are a lot of users on here that are recognized for a lot of different things. Some may be a god over in forum games, while nobody would know them in Religion + Politics. Some may be known for starting crazy threads. It's all good.

For the most part, the people with insane post counts either flame everyone, post on everything regardless of having anything useful to say or them actually knowing what the hell they are talking about. If your post count is is over 1000 per year, you need to step back before posting, ask yourself if you are going to say something worthwhile, if not, stop typing. If you are just going to agree with someone after 50 other people have done so, stop typing. If you are angry when posting, stop typing. Read what you typed, if you are flaming someone, don't post it. In 2 years, I have posted a hair over 1300 times, and I see people that fail to follow those rules constantly get suspended, and banned after they hit 5-6000 posts in 6 months. 90% of what they posted was mindless drivel, and forgettable, along with their names.
