This is my 500th post.....TaDaaaa!!

stmol32

It really is me 500th but I'm not that blindly arrogant, I do have a reason for this thread.

This is me 500th post but I've been a member for over 5 years.
What am I missing here, some people have 10,000 posts.

If I was a casual visitor I would understand but I've been on boards every day before and since I opened me account so how come I have such a low post count?

Have any other users got similar experiences (i.e think they're on boards all the time but latterly realise they haven't been contributing nearly as much as it seemed?).

Your postcount drops by ten every time you touch yourself.

This is why I'm baffled, you literally described my job so accurately you could nearly be the fella they hired to sit behind me chair and do pastell drawings of all my work (Public service you know, I've been on boards long enough to now know how the public service works )

In that case I should probably have -10,000 posts by now.
Did you know they have nekkid people on certain parts of the internet?

No, I'm not the normal one :pac: Thats high by most boardsies standards

I've had a few mad posting streaks where I've posted like 250 times in one day I think, that's probably why it's so high

Me hats off to you friend I don't think I've ever even had 250 seperate thoughts in any one day.:)

I hope you don't mind but I had a quick look at your history, normally that many posts usually mean quite a lot of posts about why gay eople would be better off in concentration camps or something similar.

Except for the fact that you post WAY TOO MUCH on boards.ie (sorry 504 posts for me now) you seem relatively normal, congrats.

Relax, I don't need to be constantly on duty.
If I'm in the middle of a good thread like "the stingiest people" or the "bad flats on Daft" I just tell the planes to circle the airport til I'm ready.

Is it me... it is me isn't it I'm the one with the problem... I have to finally admit that compared to the bigger boys I have a tiny....inadequate....post count

CliffHuxtabel

This is my 400th post. Ta-dah!

I have a blistering average of 0.15 posts per day.

I actually had a Boards account from around 2009/2010 that had a few hundred posts on it, forget the password and hotmail closed the account for inactivity so I can't prove it's mine :pac:

Not to worry anyway.

To be honest, 500 good credible posts are a thousand times better than 10,000 posts full of hateful old shíte IMO

Boards isn't a competition but if it was... I'd probably win... In the Carlow area... Maybe....

Just keep making posts OP! You'd be surprised how quickly it goes up once you're talking about stuff you're interested in.

Cheers for that I appreciate your sentiment you're very kind.

BUT (and it's a big but) I doubt very much I have had 500 (and 11 now) credible posts, they've mostly been things that I thought were funny when drunk and in charge of a laptop :pac:

Whoa there, I just said your POSTS weren't psycho, I don't know what you get up too when you're away from the keyboard. :P

You don't go to "the island"when you reach a certain number.
Post away it's only a few for some reason that like to make an issue of it,can't say I ever notice.

Not a problem!

Ah looking through your post history you've loads of good posts!

Haha yeah I know... There's often been a day where I've trawled through YLYL off myself, quoted a pic with LOOOOL then woke up the next day and thought that's me done for! :pac:

Joking... Joking...

This.

I've clocked up 2500+ posts in the last 6 months. Less than 1000 in the years before that.

131spanner

Post number 1,094: I'd like to dedicate this one to the Nokia 113 I retired today in favour of an iPhone 4s.

30,000 sent messages and 33,000 received, along with 212 hours of calls. Good night, sweet prince.

Even though I've been on boards for 5 years now (god I'm starting to feel old :P) I tend to dip in and out of posting. Sometimes I'm inclined to post loads and then I might not post again for a few weeks, or months even. (I think the longest break I took was about a year). For me anyway what influences how often I post is down to how much free time I have and whether there's a lot of interesting topics being discussed. I tend to have a lot more free time in the summer so I post more often then.

I don't think a members post count is indicative of the value of their posts. Sure, there are a lot of posters with high post counts who make well-written and entertaining posts, but I've equally seen posters with 3000+ who post utter drivel.

Anyway, 500 is still a lot when you think about it OP, even if others have posted thousands of times.

What is the obsession with post counts?

It seems like every week there is a thread about bloody post counts.

Technically you're right because his name always pops up in these threads.
