What is the deal with post counts?

I tend to agree with that as well.

As for the lady who typed in one sentence per post. I have to admit that I am guilty on that on one occassion. On another board they limit all threads to 250 posts to save on bandwidth. This thread was way past the point of being ridiculous, so I typed one word at a time to get it to about 248 just so that I could get the thread closed! Two other people posted so my mission succeeded lol

I think the reason people try to get their post count up is to get "tagged". That's not true in my case, I'm just full of hot air and think my opinions are the best.

No, I really don't post to get my count up so I can get tagged, look I am getting closer to the side of 1000 and the tag fairy still does not know I exist. That really doesnt matter to me. Its just fun being on the boards, learning from others and sharing what we know with fellow disers. I even got to meet a fellow dis'er - Tuffcookie at easter at disney, She is really a sweet person and so is her son.

I voted and now I've posted - chalk up another 1 for me.

Keeps me ahead of Elton's post count. (obligatory happy smiley after a snide remark) Like I said on the other thread, I still think the # doesn't 'count', but the percentage. Maybe some have more time than others? Maybe some are more confrontational than others? I think what's really odd is Elton's obsessive fascination in trying to find out why people care since Elton is not concerned about 'his' own post count.

The larger the post count...the better I am.

This was really directed more to the people that just go on a thread and type "Hi" or "Great Post", or just put a smilie of some kind.

I agree that the boards are great fun and think they can be very addicting...I think I talk to more people on here than I do my family (BTW -- I think my DH prefers it that way!)

They say size doesn't matter ...

They lie. oops, did I say that outloud?


Actually, my post count embarasses me. It is so high because I play all the word games. But if you did not know that, you might think I never shut up.

After losing a few thousand in various board crashes, I don't pay much attention to them anymore
