    as a new guy see'n all these posts about people pointing out cheap attempts at posts...

    Just a question. Do you get anything for having the most posts or is it an ego thing for some peepz.

    ... i mean i can adamantly admit that for the most part generally people that have more posts have them because they make sense and havent gotten chewed up yet.

    BUT, at the same time ive seen people with a high post count that really have nothing to say in half their posts.

    ????????

    It was a status thing about 18 months ago, which is when Clutch first starting using the post count feature. But this site has blown up so much that I think they have become less important, because there are so many newbies.

    I gave up 2400 posts due to a bet, but I find that it's not that bad. You know what I miss the most? Having that Feb '99 registration date by my name. That meant you've really been here since the old days.

    Silk,
    Ego for some.

    If you have knowledge, counts don't matter.

    Mine were blown away when my password was reset???? I'm still trying to figure that out. At least I was able to keep the membership date.

    Newbiehad,
    Welcome to the BBS as a new member......Hahahaha, Hehehehe, Hohohoho!!!

    Rockets need power forward. Mo near now. Go near Mo.

    You can Run from the bet, you can Rave at the bet...but you just can't hide.

    99.9% and the other 0.1% is usually ignored anyway. [​IMG] [​IMG]

    I never post unless I have something particularly worthwhile to say.

    It is ego, but I sure do love to have close to 3000 plus posts. Now, respect me dammit!

    Can't Clutch edit that and put in whatever date he wants?

    Space Ghost, I'm sure Clutch could, but that would be against the spirit of the bet. The idea is to be treated as a newbie. Changing that date would make me a lurker, not a newbie!

    Silk has had some excellent posts, since being here.

    But, Your Smoothness, note that talking about the meaning of post counts is futile. Half of us think that turning on post counts resulted in peppering the board with nonsense, and the other half says talking about it is nonsense, hence the replies to this thread.
