Who really cares about the post #?
 
This is a poll for the % of ppl who, don't care, or dislike the post #'s.

i never thought it really mattered. always seemed it was more of a "who has less of a life" gauge than anything else :D

mustangman65_79 04-05-2002 10:26 PM

Oh, thanks a lot!

Here is what I think. I like the post count. With it you can figure out who's been around, and generally, who might know their stuff.

On the other hand, post ****** like yourself skew that. It annoys me to see you taking up bandwith with your ridiculous 100, 200, 300, 400 etc post count, then posting for no reason but to raise your post count, time and time again.

The post deal has been around for a long time, I remember back in the day when it was a joke that would pop up every couple months, not every couple days :rolleyes: and it wasn't a constant ongoing thing.

i agree w/ Unit(and Dark-5.0 of corse!)...I like the post counter. We dont post just to watch the posts climb. We do it cuz we want to!!!
And I guess, I am one of those who HAVE NO LIFE!!!!.......but thats okay, i enjoy it!!!! And personally these boards are how i keep my sanity!!!!! They have helped me make it thru alot of sh**!! They make me laugh when I've had it up to here---->
KEEP POSTIN'!!!!!!! ;) TNT

I like it.

mustangdani55 04-06-2002 09:52 AM

i totally agree with Topless.... i come to the boards to laugh, and it always makes me in a better mood, cuz you guys all make me laugh. And you can sometimes carry on intelligent threads with some value... I don't care about the post count.. big deal. Post W*&%ing who cares??? All it does for me is tell me who has been around. Like the gauge thing.

;)

Hehe...I've been around here for longer than 99% of the people who are now active on the boards, and I haven't broken 1000 yet. I don't know how some of you guys and gals get 1000+ posts in less than a year, but kudos to you. Of course, I reached my current post level on a dial-up. And most of it done on dial-up in the middle of nowhere through free-access servers (remember the days of NetZero and Juno??) that kick you off every 5-10 minutes. I guess it taught me patience and perserverence.

I like the post counter for the same reasons given...it can (but not always) tell you who's been around for a while and who could possibly know what they are talking about. Of course, you could figure that out by looking at the date of registration.

So, Are u trying to say I'm the Blacksheep of the Site?!?!?


Besides, my post or 100, 200, 300, etc. is a trademark of mine. I've done it everything 100 posts, and plan to do it. It's just something I do. Big deal it gives me 1 more post. But it's symbol of me. Like I said. A trademark.

Hethj7 04-06-2002 01:27 PM

I like the post counters, but it doesn't really mean anything. It does in someway let you know who has been around the site for a while, but at the same time I just like looking at the registration date. I have been a member for a long time now, but started losing out in the post war to Skyman, Unit, and Rebel79 a long time ago :D!

I am still on the site almost daily; I just don't post much now.

Like I say, u can't please all of the ppl, all of the time. U can only please, some of the ppl, some of the time.

lx mike 04-06-2002 06:28 PM

I realy don't care for it. those that do have alot of posts i look at there registration date and also look at some of there posts to see if they are just building up there post count or actually contribute to the post.

04-06-2002 09:41 PM

Postcount

The way I look at it,as long as the post has something that someone can walk away from either with a laugh,new info that they may have not known b4, I see no biggie in making posts and have them accumulate over time.

***The posts that annoy me,are the ones that have no purpose,and are only made to raise their post count,*LMAO* wow big deal :D ***

moc 04-07-2002 02:14 PM

don't mean diddly
 
Mustanguy,I agree with your opion.Alot of people post crap just to drive the number up like it really means something. I think the Registered: date has a whole lot more credence ..Just my .02;)

MustangKelly96 04-07-2002 11:25 PM

I say more power to ya mustangman65_79. It's all good.:D

MustangKelly96 04-07-2002 11:46 PM

BTW, I just reached 100!!! WOO HOO!!! :D :cool:


I'm a Boni Fidy MEMBER now!

WADS56 04-07-2002 11:46 PM

Dosn't mean squat to me. If I am stuck and i need help with my car the last thing that I look at it the post count of the people giving me a hand. I have been here for a while so I know most of the people on this board I can trust.
