Which includes, funnily enough, everyone above me in this thread.

Lies! I've seen you post like once or twice back when I used to check the Katawa Shoujo user group. You know, before it got so active that I had to turn off the notices. -__-Mortai Gravesend said:
Still, jealous that I joined only a month after you and you're outdoing me by a little less than 3.5k posts. Probably because I didn't start out as active as I am now. Used to have a major presence elsewhere.[/quote]
most of it then...if you want to get nit picky
youll have to work hard if you want to eaqual my "mojor presance"
In the days of yesteryore, long before the advent of pub club, badges and even more than two subforums under the label of "Discussion," post count was worth paying attention to. Going Gonzo was a big milestone. A high post count didn't mean anyone was more important or a better user than anyone else, but it had some real meaning.
Since usergroups became a thing, and there are now legitimate ways of posting one-word comments that count towards one's post count, the number's lost most of its value. Still, with the boom of the Escapist population, I'd say "good riddance." Post count elitism is largely a thing of the past.
That being said, what my post count means to me is what it meant for everyone back in the day. I hardly ever use forum games or usergroups, so for me, this number marks my text contributions to the forum's community. I take a bit of personal pride in it, though I don't expect anyone else to care. I justcan't quit love the Escapist.
Edit: Woah, only a couple posts away from 8,500 posts! :0

The higher someone's post count the more I assume that person is recognized (for good or ill) by others. Might not be the case, but it's what I think. Other than that, not much.
I felt the exact same way when I hit 1000 posts. I know it wasn't the case for other people but at that point I felt like I was a real part of the community and at that point I started to branch out on the site and here I am now at over 10,000 posts.Hazy992 said:
Post counts indicates the amount you've spent on the site actually doing something other than just watching threads and user group conversations.
Still, it's always semi amusing when people take post counts to actually mean something when in reality, it'd be rare for all those posts to contain something mind blowing. >.>

Depending on the post count I would say it points to a lot of time spent playing forum games. I mostly referring to the people who have been here for a year or two and have 5 digit post counts. Other than that I really don't care about it. Sure I will look at post count when I see a post that is below a certain (for lack of a better word) maturity. Other than that it is just a number.
I feel really judgemental after read this thread. I look at the post count and compare it to the join date. If it's excessive for the join date I think "Do they need to comment on everything?" or "Do they spend all their time in the forum games?" Though my judgement of thier content overrights post count judement.
Its a bit embarrassing when I see someone who joined a few months later then me and has more than 1K posts when I've got less than 200.
And then I remember that I didn't post for a few months after I joined, becuase I was shy *blushes*

I am somewhat disappointed that Mr. 39k only said that though =/
Since I doubt I'll see it, I'll wish you grats now for hitting 8,500Erana said:
I'm excited for Daystar to hit 10k so I can throw cookies at him >
Nvm, Daystar hit 10k a while ago and I missed it ;_;
I blame the D3 beta /cries
Doesn't really mean all that much to me. I just like seeing the number to go up. The only time I really notice it is when someone has more then 15k posts.
