    So, today is an historic day for me. I have finally passed the 5,000 post count. Woo hoo!!! :pac::P:D

    It's only taken me about 12 and a half years to reach this figure.

    Any other boardsies approaching or have passed a significant milestone in their posts?

    And do you think that there's a bit of an inverse relationship between quality and quantity of posts? For instance, is someone here who has posted 17,000 posts in a mere year always providing pearls of wisdom? :D

    3 word post regarding quality,,, ironic much?
    I personally hate the boards "3 word responce" (as i like to call it) in a thread to look for likes.

    In nearly every post you can skip the first few posts where people just write a few words to get likes whereas the more in depth answers are generally later.

    Sorry nothing to add to actual topic.

    I'm quitting as soon as I reach 25000.

    I feel like this whole place has lost its soul.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 891 ✭✭✭mimimcmc


    I don't really comment unless it's really worth saying... Definitely quality over quantity.

    Also, if you don't have anything nice to say stfu say nothing at all!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,352 ✭✭✭conor222


    I'm sure I'll hit 100 someday

    Wisdom can't count.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    I usually don't bother posting unless it's in some way contributing to a discussion....like now. Mine works out at less than 6 posts a day which I don't think is that high.....

    I don't really post in any other forums/on reddit either unless it's about something pretty specific where there isn't enough discussion on boards to satisfy my needs! Mostly about new movies or TV shows.

    Posting pure and unadulterated scutter for 10 years :cool:

    The big question is some random comment e.g. having a sore toe or something, be pulled from the 'Bigbro-AI-cloud-conscious-database',
    and impact negatively financially, as an enhanced surcharge on my weekend space flight insurance to Mars in the year 2025ad?

    Think I had a pretty high number on my previous account, Ciaran B, but I lost access to it after the hack. My Ciaran_B is a pale imitation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,626 ✭✭✭Glenster


    around 2400 and just under 1 post per day.

    If you were to look at the comments that were useful and weren't arguing over facts or sarky asides it's probably be a lot lower.

    Sad face.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,394 ✭✭✭Pac1Man


    I feel like a shockwave is sent across the web whenever I post a reply. Such a momentous occasion.

    Almost 12000 posts. Jaysus. I find I post less and less these days but my daily count is still something like 13. Not really feeling the place right now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    17,000+

    Don't see any reason to celebrate post counts , but that's just me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,133 ✭✭✭✭GBX


    There is some amount of sh!te posted to be fair


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,754 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    I think 90% of my posts came in the first six or so years, and the rest in the last four.

    Looong way to go before you hit the levels of Mike65 and his 90k odd posts before he either closed his account or got banned.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Apparently I have 25,145 (25,146 now?) posts. This is over a 12 year period, however.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    The users with the most posts are

    1. mike65 (75302) Closed Account
    2. Victor (57716)
    3. Tar.Aldion (47921)
    4. Des (42921)
    5. Nevyn (42878)

    Des also posted under Lovely Bloke/Baldy Conscience I believe and had 12,060 posts. He was also Des F/_blank_ which had 43,720! That's a combined total of over 97,000 posts.

    i've been here so long I can remember when there was no thanks button and you had to +1


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,678 ✭✭✭TrustedApple


    Nearly at 5k now myself i am losing the love i used to have for the site people just on your case now to fast and attack and insult you for notting. I have Delseixa i have issues with grammar the odd time i cant help it but never stopped me in life people insult it and saying it should not be a issue and call me slow lovely people.

    I am using it less and less then i used to the traffic is getting really bad here now and really low numbers and people have gone way to negative about the world.

    I might reach 7k posts before the site is completely died and that will be happening in the next few years as the icing is on the cake.

    A high post count was (at least some bit) impressive once upon a time, back when the whole site was pretty much open to everyone. Now you can open a new account and rack up thousands in the space of a month from off-topic chat threads in private forums. Great for those little cliques, but utterly meaningless on a site-wide level.

    But yeah, quality over quantity

    Because all posts on After Hours are ultra important. What happened, not allowed into the playpen?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,451 ✭✭✭blastman


    Think I'm approaching 5K myself, will know after I post this. And I'm possibly here longer than the OP, worryingly....

    We actually used to do a series of AMA threads in C&H back in the day, and they were called "In the Play-Pen". :D Better times.

    Personally I find the join date more telling than the post count. I generally have more time for posters that have been around longer than newbs.
