Do people on boards have a life?

Dowl88

I See people with 3000+ posts. Do you have lives outside boards or just sit on your laptop all day posting? Would you not do something more productive with your lives instead of posting on the internet which isnt real life?
Boards is a great place to get information but 3000 posts like. Come on! Get off the laptop and do something in the real world!

Dowl88, thank you for this incredible life lesson. You are wise beyond your 88 years. I'm am off outside to play.

For some it's quantity over quality.

For you, sadly, it's neither:

If this chick was my own mother, id cum inside her with no rubber and have a son and a new brother at the same time and say that it aint mine.

Seriously?

And btw, that other thing you talked about doing in your previous posts in AH, well, you need to go to confession...

It was a music thread discussing todays lyrics, came across it on one of sons albums.

I don't really get this whole 'You have x amount of posts, you have no life' thing.

OP, you've managed 6 posts in just one day. If you're a member for just 2 years and average 6 posts a day, boom, 4000+ posts. Do you really not understand how that's possible?

OP, you've managed 5 posts in just one day. If you're a member for just 2 years and average 5 posts a day, boom, 3500+ posts. Do you really not understand how that's possible?

Why do you need to post 5 things a day?

Why did you need to post 9 times in the past 24 hours?

It's a forum where people post things and shocker, their posts add up.

Is the OP a munter or something?

Unearthly

Completely agree OP. The 3k and above brigade are wasting their life's and I bet they don't even realise it

UCDVet

I don't. It's pathetic to be honest.

Arthur Beesley

I run a scat bot that creates most of my posts. Hence the obsession with all things faeces.

I agree :-)


Actually I have quite a good active life, but rather then go to the news channels I drop by here to see what's happening, and if I have an opinion I will post it, can't see nothing wrong with that.

Yeh. 3k+ posters get a life like :pac:

The OP is right. We should all use Facebook instead.

Zombienosh

there's an outside?

You post on an Internet forum telling people not to post on an Internet forum?

OP has just shot my self esteem to shreds.

Edit: Ignore my sentence below, I checked the post.
Without checking the post history or context of that quote, I'm pretty sure it's a line from an Eminem song!

No, I don't. Is it worth getting one? I can't really see the benefit

I only have a life when it doesn't conflict with my time in boards.

humbert

While I admit my post frequency is directly proportional to how boring my life is you have to remember a lot of the users here work in public sector jobs and do the lion's share of their posting at work leaving the evenings free for Glee and Jersey Shore.

We have these things in the real world now OP like smartphones. I would almost exclusively use the touch site at this stage, and I still manage to squeeze plenty into my day.

Smartphones are a great job altogether!

At the OPs current rate he will reach 3000 posts in 11 months, a lot quicker than most on here!

i pop in and out generally, having a macbook i just open it and i am online, so while i grab 5 minutes here and there during the day i suppose it looks like i am always online if you take my posts and their times.

and to be fair, i mostly use boards for help on things, in parenting, bargain alerts...etc i find i go to after hours when i am bored, like when i am in bed on sunday morning eating my toast. soon i will be getting dressed and heading out to visit relatives,


i see my friends during the week, work/study or during the summer spend time playing outside and inside with my daughter, get the house clean, cook meals, talk to my husband..etc

4Sticks

Of course I have a life

Lou.m

You can have a low post count AND no life! :-) I will check my post count when this posts. Sunday morning its what i do!

happylemon1

The thing is, I think using or having a big computer setup and spending a lot of time on that, is like a life, another type of life. Its almost like what? a culture even.

Now, think of the movies, or even books; you see the crackers with all these setups on chat and all stuff.

What about if people like the OP says, people with loads of posts, if they got more involved also in having more tech stuff on their pc, so things IRC chats open, all that cool stuff, along with having boards.iie open, like a movie.


So really, its cool. I think its not having no life. Once you enter the computer world, an d if you love it, then GREAT.



As Timothy Leary said, (and hes history is from Ireland), the internet/computers are another life, its to avoid authority,etc

overall good fun stuff

Yeah, graphics are amazing but the storyline and NPC's are terrible.

You're 26 and you hadn't heard Eminem until you listened to your son's albums? There's so much wrong with that.

You need to get off the laptop and do something in the real world.

I certainly don't sit on my laptop all day posting. It would be incredibly difficult to type while sitting on the keyboard. I suppose I could type with my arse cheeks but it would be incredibly difficult to make one post, let alone 3,000.

Do you have a life considering this is what you think about?

Funny how you're on boards giving out about people on boards. Gobsheet.

gugleguy

Some don't have much of a life outside boards when they post a thread about 'choosing' some venue, which has already been decided. Kinda like Henry Ford early car marketing , 'choose any colour as long as it is black'......or bird (venue):D
