What does post count mean to you?

[Carbonyl]

A chance to get the Neo badge. Also as a sign of how often people post here, and possibly how well known they are within the community. I mostly judge people according to their avatars though.

I'm judging you based on your avatar.

....and I am judging you as AWESOME.

Then you are an excellent judge of character. And avatar. But mostly character. Because I'm totally as awesome as my avatar would imply, though I have never dodged bullets in my life. Or killed someone. And I'm not particularly good around blood. Maybe that method doesn't work that well.

Are you acrobatic enough to cartwheel on a moving train? That might be enough.
I actually may be able to, given a wide enough train car.... Hmmmm.... This may be the genesis of either a really great or a really horrible decision.

Sadly, I am anything but acrobatic. As for the rest of your comment...

A user's post count doesn't really mean a thing to me. I judge a user on the quality of their posts not the quantity.

 

[samuraiweasel]

Not much, but generally the people with 10k+ have something serious to say....

 

[CudaSpawn]

Not a lot, though I will say I often wonder if people find it odd that someone who has been here for nearly three years (I.E. myself) only has around 650 posts?

well compared to me your a local legend around here, and yea I often wonder what people think when we get around to actually posting

 

[bobstone]

I ignore post count mostly cause of my personal trend in posting. which is be active for a day to a couple of weeks, then do nothing for several months to a year. rinse and repeat.

what I do go by is readability of a post, a single huge paragraph ( be it a single run on sentence, or a well thought out yet LONG paragraph ) is a sure way for me to skip reading something. this is mostly because I find it hard to keep track of where I am at with out any breaks that the eye can find instantly.

That image is perplexing and somewhat offensive to my bleeding-heart liberal sensibilities.

But there is a train yard just a few blocks down by the river.... if only I didn't have a presentation at 9am tomorrow.

Also! On the earlier mentioned subject of ability to deal with blood, I come out of lab covered in sheep/squirrel/frog blood on a weekly basis. I am good with blood.

 

[Neonbob]

I used to think that it was important. But that was back when I had just joined and there were people all around with post counts in the thousands. Being completely new to forums, I was taken aback that people could make 5000 posts on a site. I thought that if I managed to join their ranks, I'd be all cool and people on the internet would look up to me. Thankfully, that idea was soon destroyed, as even after I got all my posts, I still felt like a newbie.
So the content matters, not the numbers, is the short version of my babbling.

Hey, I don't make the memes, I just post em'. And I totally understand. I had a teacher who would get so angry about people who used the word ****** like that and thanks to her I can no longer use the word without feeling incredibly guilty. She once went on a big rant about how often homosexual teenagers kill themselves because of how people treat them like an insult. Then an office aid came in with a note and she chewed him out. He proceeded to walk away sheepishly and said that he was going to go kill himself.

You have a presentation at 9! I have a test just an hour before then! If you live in the Rocky mountain time zone than we could be doing those things at the same time! As I have no evidence to the contrary I will now assume you live in Montana because that would be neat. Montana has moose. Mooses. Moosen. Meese. Ah, fuck it.

 

[phatty500]

hmm i see you have over 2700 hundred posts so i agree with your opinion.

 

[loc978]

What does a user's post count mean to you?

Well, basically this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx_UJxuQGXo#t=0m17s]. We all started at 1. I'd rather judge a poster by the contents of their post.

Ahh, the magical power of guilt. It has tremendous staying power.

Sorry, I'm on Pacific time, studying my science All Night Long. As much as I like mooses (which is quite a lot), I do not wish to be in Montana. I like Oregon just fine, even if I can't throw a rock without hitting a hipster (even if I'm not aiming).

Portland, City of Roses, crown jewel of the hipster empire. Considering the distribution of population density in Oregon, Portland is statistically the best guess when wondering where anyone in Oregon is.

Hey I can always dream. I would rather you didn't live in the hipster capital of the world. I'd rather nobody except the hipsters did. Then they could be destroyed once and for all.

I live in Roseburg, Douglas county, an hour south of Eugene. We have trees, houses, trees, a shitty mall, trees, a community college, and more trees. Did I mention that we have trees? They're pretty nice trees too. Really tall.

Oh man! I've dissected squirrels from around that area!





Turns out the abnormal levels of bromine in their muscle tissue was due to them drinking from swimming pools. I'm glad you have trees, they're nice. Everyone likes trees. I have trees too, I'm here for school and we have a lovely canyon on campus, there is even one growing in my office.


Hey now, there is a sizable population of gloriously wonderful nerds and some very silly hippies that live here too! And with our poor hand-eye coordination, the concentration of hipsters is great enough that we actually have a decent chance of getting one with a rock.

[Sehnsucht Engel]

If you go back a year I had less than 1000 posts on this site.

<-- I've gotten a bit more active

Well, post count tells me how active a person on this site is.

I wouldn't say my voice is that loud on the forums, but I've been very active in groups

I haven't dissected squirrels. We got to dissect a lamprey. It wasn't as fun as I imagine the squirrels would have been. I'm also very surprised we have enough swimming pools to mess with the squirrels. Swimming pools aren't that big of a thing here. We don't have much money and we have plenty of good natural places to swim. I suppose the sprinkler things they use to treat the wood chips at the mills could have caused it.

I don't doubt that, but I still think there isn't a person in the world that's best off living in Portland.

No, the fun had with the squirrels was entirely outweighed by the fact that one had just entered the active decay state before being frozen for shipment. I cannot.... the smell.... I could feel it on my eyeballs, its innards had... nearly liquified. The peristaltic muscle was GREEN. IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE PINK OH GOD THE MEMORIES OF THE SMELL. For weeks I had to grind various parts of that squirrel! The fresh squirrel was fine and easy and fun to dissect, but my god, never, EVER dissect something that is beginning to decay. Preparing a homogenous solution of squirrel for irradiation was so very, very unpleasant.

But I do love Portland, it's just wonderful. Hipsters can easily be ignored, and there is just so much wonderful stuff in this city. Gardens and food and free couches and chocolate and people smile (unlike in Chicago). The temperature never gets below 30 degrees and the whole city is just better in every way than the midwest.

 

[Extragorey]

If they're got less than 5 posts, I'd usually welcome them to the forums, otherwise it's meaningless.
You could reach 10k posts in a year easy enough by posting 30 times a day.
On the other hand, I've been around a few years but only have a few hundred posts.

So you really can't draw any other conclusion from it.
