Anti-NoOb mentality...

I'm just posting here to see my post count. The last time I remember looking it was in the 2.5k area.

edit: holy shit, I had no idea.

[Llamas]

Jesus, I just looked at my post count, and now I'm embarrassed It's because I used to post wayyyyyyyyyyy too much early on... so even though I now post like a regular person, I'm already way ahead of the curve. I think my average posts per day used to be above 20 :-S

[Sara MZK]

I think anyone who places any real importance on something as frivilous as a person's post-count, and judges them a certain way due to that, is really petty and small-minded, and not someone who's opinion I'd take very seriously.

[WebDudette]

I can't speak for anyone else, but I never look at post count. I often skip posts of people I do not recognize or people I know I generally find very uninteresting or noncontributing.

Because I have a giant vagina? Or what do you mean by that?

Alright, that made me laugh
But yeah, you noticed it yourself. I can't believe that I have posted over 3k times here already, and I have barely a fifth of your postcount!

[Omni]

Omni, I wouldn't worry about that. I still feel just barely recognizable amongst the general BBS populace and I'm close to the 10k mark. And I write some long-ass posts.

Reading your long-ass posts is the highlight of most people's day and you know it.

I heard we were posting in this thread to talk about how old we are? I started posting here when I was 14 and now I'm 21 and that's terrifying to me. Now I know how all the REALLY old people must feel all the time

This used to be how I knew who was cool. Now I see that I only have 200 more posts than ruroken... god damn, that kid posted a lot.

EDIT 2: AND bd007h has a shit ton of posts. I think around a third of his posts were him defending stupid things he said, like that Davey Havok had been born in his house, that he is happy to be a virgin at 20 (lol), that the Buffalo Sabres are the best hockey team (lol), etc. Man. Why don't we attack people for saying stupid shit anymore?

Saramzk, I'm not saying that its an all important thing, but it can be indicative of the types of posts you are likely to see from them. A lot of new people go through a "OMGZorz! I want 2 sleepz w/ Noodlez and haz hiz leopard printed babies!" phase. The same threads come up over and over where people ask the same questions that could simply be answered with a click of the search button. Its not like I see a username I don't recognize and immediately check their join date/post count, but if I don't recognize them and the first few posts I see by them aren't thoughtful or interesting, that person and all their friends get skimmed over until they get over the whole annoying thing.

I wonder what my post count would look like if it weren't for the long absences...

I know that feeling, man.

holy shit, most of those people haven't posted in forever, yet they're dominating that list. I find comfort in the fact that I'm not on the first page.

I actually considered talking about him earlier, but decided against it. Yeah, he had 8,000-something posts, and they were all accumulated in around a year or less. Admit it, everyone. You kind of misses the excitement his brand of stubborn ignorance brought to the forum.
