Thread: post count.

Hey good point. =P Your reputation on this forum depends on managing your posts to be resourceful as well as helpful.

Join date huh? I guess this means I've got more karma then you adidas!

Guess addidas has more LD karma than me as well!

Yes, despite common belief your post count is not a rating of your intelligence, importance or how cool you are.

Oh is that a fact Kaniaz? I thought that if I posted useless crap in every topic then I would become the most liked person here...

If it happens to be a forum that believes that useless crap is the best thing in the world, yes. Otherwise, no.

Hey adidas, just wanted to point out that this is a great idea. We do get alot of new people that are around for 3 weeks at most and post 100 times a day...it really wrecks the atmosphere around here...

Keep it real man.

Yeah... nobody likes people that post 19.91 times a day!!!!

This is a strong point. I have been on other forums in the past where this was a problem. They used the term post whore aswell

Post count is meaningless. Unless you are known for being a poster whose every post is full of great info and enlightment, then it would be something.

Yeah, last night I talked with Truthbearer about this and what we found out is that there's several members who have like a post count of 300 or something and I feel like i've hardly seen that person post, never notice his/her posts... and then there's a couple of other people with much lesser post count who contribute more to the conversations, and I notice those alot more and I thought they had a much bigger post count because I noticed them more then the ones posting crap.

That means you should all like me... If I ever contributed anything that is.

Aww... don't cry. I prefer n00bs (such as you and cinic, the awesomeo dude I adopted) over newbies who within 3 weeks become Lucid Gurus and steal other people's avatar (*cough*Evanescent*cough*) (I'm sorry 'bout that, I honestly don't hate you, it's just so easy to pick on you )

i just feel like i should let you guys know something. post count is useless... you see if you were to look over to the left side of your screen you may notice that directly above post count is join date. now if you have 500 posts but you're not even a month 'old' you reek of post whore newbie. so just think about that before you post... then think about the post and how you can contribute more than a couple syllables to the conversation. -- food for thought.

You just described evanescent in very vivid detail.

Simply the word fag describes FFX in great detail.

except of course that you can't describe someone in great detail with just one word...?

alright kids, that's probably enough. i realize some of the members here have quite a ways to go before they could even be remotely considered as adults; those of us who are adults would prefer not see our forum descend and disintergrate into the bottomless troughs of mindless name-calling. thus, i'd appreciate it if those of you who are a little younger could at least attempt to act a little more maturely. i understand that can be hard, and holy crap i've had to restrain myself quite a few times from letting a particular person know how i feel about him/her and his/her attitude (*pauses to regain composure*) ... don't force me to pass some sort of binding rule only allowing me to do the name-calling (and of course i'd direct most of it at paperdoll, because it's just plain funny). hrm...i sound awfully fatherly.

to be fair, i think perhaps we could allow name-calling in Senseless Banter (which seems to be continuously expanding and encompassing everything that we'd prefer not see throughout the rest of the board). it's sort of becoming a sanctuary within the fringes for those seeking refuge after being cast out of the social mainstream of the forum. anyway, let's give that a try and see how it goes.

Sorry, it won't happen again dad.

Same here, but i thought you brought the fun.

Icedawg is one of those dads that think that they are pretty cool and such, not unlike the dad in american pie. In fact, I just developed a mental picture of Icedawg being Eugene Levy...

No dude icedawg is the kick-ass guy captured by the nazis and sent to prison, and then escapes and kills all of them then fights his way all to hitler himself and then slays him...


yeah.

i noticed i have alot of junk posted but just a few posts
i guess i thought i would be more liked if people saw my name every where. but i was wrong so ill stop doing this.

Thank you, ice.


This unceasing immaturity was starting to pee me off...

I thought this was about me, who else is like I was(or as some people say still am). Come on don't be shy. They don't hate post whores. They love them it gives them something to talk about.

LOL Evanescent, this is true!

Without all the drama around here, Dream Views just wouldn't be................well, it wouldn't be DreamViews.
